Frosty, the Nightlife Tyrant is at it again! He is "boy wonder" when it comes to creating sensational club promotions and this one will prove to be no different. The place to be every Thursday is now Blur (710 Pacific at Crocker.) The new promo launched on March 1st and I was out of commission with what I thought was the flu, but later found out was Pneumonia, so I missed the premiere party. Lushus Brown was also missing in action due to the flu, but Jessica Lozano took over as DJ and brought down the house, but would you expect anything less from the Houston Press winner of the DJ Spin-off to go to the Winter Music Conference in Miami. I was fortunate enough to see Jessica at Dean's recently and she gave me a CD she made. She is a mighty little powerhouse of a DJ in such a tiny package. I hope to do an event with her sometime this year. Perhaps the next V.I.SHE party? Join Frosty and Lushus each Thursday at Blur for ZOO THURSDAZE. Frosty is putting the "LIFE" in nightlife!

Spoiled Boyz will present an after-hours party on March 17th (it'll really be 3:00AM, which is technically Sunday the 18th, but most of you will still be out from the 17th, so let's just call it the 17th, shall we?) This month's party is called SHAM ROC with two of my favorite DJ's, Surain and Alec C. The bash will take place at Ultra (108 Main) and advance tickets are $15 at M2M Fashions on Montrose or Male U Wear on Westheimer. More details can be found at www.spoiledboyz.net or www.myspace.com/spoiledboyz. JUNGLE 15 is on the way in early April. Look for details in the next issue or, in the meantime, take a peek at the four-day long party and happenings at http://junglehouston.com/.

It seems like I write about YAP (Young Active Professionals) all the time because the organization really does have something going on all the time. I always meet new people at their Monthly Mixer but the group also has other activities, like trips, cruises, sporting events, dinners etc. The monthly happy hour is YAP's signature event to meet a lot of people and the party continues to grow in size each month. You may join YAP by logging on to www.yapclub.com. Membership is free. This month's happy hour is at one of my favorite places, the Flat (1701 Commonwealth) and it's a great opportunity to mingle. Most members are single, but there are a few couples who are members and attend YAP activities, so being single certainly isn't a requirement. Bring business cards too, because these are great parties in which to network. There will be happy hour prices until 9:00 and the Flat will generously provide us with some complimentary pizzas to munch on. The Flat opens at 6 for us on March 23rd for this event, but the Flat usually opens at 7PM, normally. Please invite your friends and co-workers to this event and invite them to join the over 300 Houston members of www.yapclub.com. Believe it or not, I will get out of working at Mingalone's that night in order to attend. I'm never off on a Friday night, so this is a treat! Enjoy free and ample parking across the street from the Flat at Reid's Key Shop. See more of the Flat at www.myspace.com/barflat and www.barflat.com. I hope to see all of you on March 23rd! Check out the new myspace page layout for the Flat, designed by Brie De Coster. It rocks and so does my Bratty Brie. Add the Flat as a myspace friend, if you aren't already ours.

Also on March 23rd, Dos Equis will present the Envy party entitled JUNGLE LOUNGE at the House of Dereon's Media Center (www.hodmediacenter.com) at 1505 Hadley in midtown. A word to the wise, enter on Crawford between Webster and Hadley. There will be a model mingle from 9-11 and the show for the 2007 Envy Model Search will start at 11:30. Music will be provided by DJ Red and DJ Silver and plenty of complimentary Dos Equis will be a-flowin'. Admission is free, but you MUUUUUUUST RSVP for yourself and up to five friends. I mean it, you must RSVP, my kittens. Email first and last names of those you wish to be put on the guest list to RSVP@77002.com. Remember, first and last names, not just first names. This is a 21 and up event, so have your ID ready. I am planning to stop by that night after my event at the Flat. I heard celebrity doorman, Gary T. Murphy will be greeting all the guests.

For those of you who haven't seen me in a while, since all I do is work it seems, I have whacked off all my hair and I am a blonde again. I'm pretty sure blonde is my natural color. I really can't remember, though, what shade of blonde. Well I want to brag on my hairstylist, Kimberly, who owns Amado Salon (1802 Dunlavy.) She rocks! Oh and she also carries a lot of really reasonably priced jewelry at the salon so take some extra money to buy some bling. The salon has gotten a lot of really praising reviews on www.citysearch.com, as well. Stop by and see what services they offer and why everyone seems to love them so much. My next hair appointment is on March 23rd and I couldn't be more excited about it.

Okay, so I've said it before, but I think I want to quit smoking. I even have the patch at my house and I swear, after this pack, I'm going to use it. Did you know NicoDerm CQ has helped over 3.1 million people quit smoking, because it helps protect you from cravings all day long? It even has a patented system called SmartControl. It delivers a steady stream of nicotine that helps target cravings you might have throughout the day. Be sure to visit www.nicodermcq.com for more information to help you or someone you know quit smoking. If you see me out and this doesn't include my March 23rd outing.
