Lil' Kim: The Queen Bee

The baddest bitch in the game, Lil Kim, performed this past Friday at the Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan.  I am the hugest Lil Kim fan and literally (figuratively) was dying to see her in concert.  While the concert may have been a bit low budge the Queen Bee herself, Lil Kim, did not disappoint.  Looking fly as hell in a metallic catsuit she rapped our favorite songs like 'Lighter's Up' and 'How many Licks'  I would see her perform every week if it was possible, actually I'd rather her just come over for drinks and a blunt. #HauteMess

Eating Is Not Very Chanel.

Last night, Chanel and the TriBeCa Film Festival celebrated the Art Awards program with an intimate dinner at the legendary Odeon restaurant on West Broadway in TriBeCa.  The brand's 8th Annual dinner was flooded with gorgeous and fashionable actors, models, and artists.  Most were wearing Chanel's newest Cruise 2013 collection.  The walls were covered in beautiful red flowers and the room was completed with a Chanel perfume vending machine, each bottle retailing for over $250.00.  Robert De Niro, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival and actor, was in attendance with his wife Grace Hightower.  Also in attendance were the usual but never less fabulous slew of model/designer/socialites Alexa Chung, Harley Viera Newton, Annabelle Dexter Jones, Dree Hemmingway, Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Leigh Lezark. Other notable guests in attendance include Vogue editor Giovanna Battaglia, model Joan Smalls, Jane Rosenthal, Sean Avery, Peter Brant, Mira Sorvino, Paul Haggis, Mickey Sumner, Griffin Dunne, Atlanta De Cadenet, Riley Keough, Taraji P. Henson, and more. Last night was unmistakably haute. #HauteMess
