Malcom-Jamal Warner Hits for Haiti Relief


People always ask me what my next venture or interview will be or what country I'll find myself freely galavanting about; and my answer is always: I'm working on it. Just know it's something to be recokned with. I take what I do seriously, but with a grain of salt because at the end of the day, it's a hustle.

Haiti has been cursed with a devastating earthquake and its people are suffering more than ever. Their resilient spirit keeps those in pain, alive. Their zest for life keeps them bending over, lifting heavy building foundations, in short hopes of recovering lost ones.

Millions of people have shed their humanitarian light by collectively mobilzing efforts in aiding Haiti get back on its feet. It's a matter of emergency.

Childhood TV star, turned adult actor, producer, film writer and producer, Malcom-Jamal Warner is one of those humanitarians.

He and his band will perform groovey, Funkjazz tunes at the eclectic 595 venue, Friday, January 29, in benefit of Haiti relief. The night will be funky, exciting and at minimum, a throw-back to old times of peace, girating dance moves and fret slides.

No Huxtablisms, please.

So, you ask what my next venture will be. I see the evening turning into a sequestered moment of an in-person, intimate interview with my favorite Dr.'s son. We'll talk about his music venture, his band, what inspires him and of course, I'll touch on his favorite food and what entices his palate. For that interview, you'll have to visit Flanboyant Eats in a few weeks!

If you're in Atlanta, come support this funk fest in benefit of Haiti and experience some magical music!

What: MALCOM-JAMAL WARNER' MILES LONG EXPERIENCE
When: FRIDAY, JANUARY 29TH, 2010; Showtime @ 10 pm
Where: 595 NORTH AVE., ATLANTA, GA

$15 Cover (proceeds going to Haitian Earthquake Relief)

A Reintroduction To My Blog Vis-a-Vis True Luxury. Welcome Back!


It's a shame. Really. Last time I posted something here was an in-depth interview of a soulful French-Canadian artist, breaking into the American market.

That was July LAST year, and we're now in 2010. Before I continue, Happy New Year! Since that last post, so much has developed and so many places have graced my memory to make an impression.

My commitment is to recount all those delightful overseas engagements, national trysts, and unexpected opportunities, as much and as fast as I can. But I'd have to compartmentalize and map an additional editorial calendar. And, that's a post in it of itself. I will commit to it, however.

So to start, I will share with you a great "haute" profile of Cabo, Mexico, one of those sexy destinations I visited just two months ago. This piece below is written by a fellow blogger, whom was kind enough to allow me to re-post, as way to segway back into reviving this blog.

In due time, I'll share with you my real life experience in Cabo and San Jose Lucas, which was decadent, orgasmic and reckless in abundance of luxury; in addition to the aforementioned haps!

Consider this a tease.

Time to escape the winter blues… and while you’re at it—bury your blackberry, PDA, or Smart phone. Guests arriving at the Marquis Los Cabos Resort are invited to leave behind their electronic device with a symbolic “Blackberry Burial Ceremony.” The simulated burial also includes a 10-minute hand massage to help those weary fingers from too much texting and dialing also known as the “blackberry ache.” And while you’re at it, a cool drink and refreshing towel will help you forget all about your troubles from 2009.

This beautiful 237 all-suite ocean-front luxury hotel and resort, located on the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula, where the Sea of Cortex meets the Pacific Ocean, offers stunning mountain views with the ocean at your casita door. It really is an escape to your own little sanctuary equipped with a private pool facing the beach. This exotic retreat also features a 15,000 square foot holistic spa with a fitness center and an exclusive gourmet restaurant where the food is absolutely amazing.

But my favorite touch is the infinity pool because the water on this side of the ocean is too aggressive to swim. However, a fruity drink and ocean view makes up for it. You can also participate in the resort’s “Astronomy Nights” series, introducing guests to the planets, stars and constellations guided by a local expert with fancy telescopes. You’ll love the crackling fire with specialty cocktails right there on the beach.

When you’re headed to Cabo be sure to check out the Marquis Los Cabos… it’s a wonderful property with exceptional customer service that’s just minutes away from Old World San Jose Del Cabo and party happy Cabo San Lucas. I love it! Marquis Los Cabos is a member of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World and the only member of Leading Spas of the World in Los Cabos.www.marquisloscabos.com"
