I’m" smoking" a cigar as I write this cause now I feel more like a real Boss after attending Lisa Raye’s 1st Annual B2B (Back 2 Business) Mixdown Party in Puerto Rico. All I can say what a way to begin the summer of 2010!

The island of Puerto Rico is too beautiful to describe with words. San Juan looks like Miami did back in the 70’s when the Cocaine Cowboys ran the city. I was naturally intoxicated because I felt like I was dead-smack in the middle of a Scarface movie. And that’s how the trip played out….like a wild movie.
"Puffing"…Lisa Raye was beautiful and dressed in white the entire time. Remember when Scarface’s girlfriend came down in the elevator in a long silk white dress, Lisa Raye reminded me of Michelle Pfifer’s character in the movie. And things happened to her like it would in a Scarface movie. Some people at the San Juan airport stole her bag full of million-dollar Jewelry. But like a bad female Boss, Lisa Raye got her jewels back. True Story

I was sipping on Nuvo most of the time thanks to Publicist, Jada Kemp from PRDivaAssociates, whose idea it was to bring it with us…because I sure coudln't find any in San Juan. Now really intoxicated at the the B2B event, what I wanted to do even more was party with the Natives. Eventually I did party with some real Gangster-folk from the island, but I wondered why they weren’t solicited to come in the first place to come to the B2B event. The Caribe Hilton Resort was only filled with us glamorous people aka tourists. (See below for some cool people to follow on Twitter…me and my friends were the Hottest!).
Of course, Trina would have easily claimed the Hottest spot if she showed up. We were all there to ball with her, but I guess things didn’t fall through. It didn’t matter though, especially when Lil Kim arrived She didn’t perform either, but having her there made this experience feel more like the movie we were in.
Lisa Raye had a comedy show featuring Kevin Hart. The other 'movie stars' at the weekend event included; THE CORE DJ's, Queen Aishah, Chris Spencer, Angela Yee, Bryant McKinnie from the Minnesota Vikings, and Rosa Acosta.
As far as how all the events went down, not everything happened according as planned. There was a lot of shadiness going on behind the scenes that I'm choosing not to write about it. After I attended Lisa Raye’s Business & Empowerment Panel meeting, some of it didn't matter anymore, anyways.
Lisa Raye, however, followed up with an star-studded All White Diamond Party. It was fun as hell and of course, the television crew was in the building from her reality TV show “The Real McCoy” on TV ONE (the entire time). I left early because I had other plans.

The cigar I'm "smoking" right now isn't Cuban like the ones Scarface smoked…it's Puerto Rican. I eventually found a native party at Club Brava at the El San Juan Hotel. Didn't get back to my room until it was time to fly back. What went down makes me hope Lisa Raye do it all again next summer. I just wanna say, all in all, I had one of the best times of my life~
