loveworldtour: New York Nights Keep Calling!

There is something so exciting about stepping out onto the street in New York, all dressed up with no real plan. The spontaneity in not having a proper itinerary brings about the craziest situations that happen deep in the night as we set off in the aims of the experiences on offer all over NYC.

So that's what we did one of these nights. Dressed up, took to the streets, and headed off to find a place that was ready to take on a boisterous group of us who were ready to party! First spot had a sign outside that read "Keep your voices down…blah blah blah" - this was not the place for us. We walked a few blocks, in 6-inch heels, which was a somewhat humbling experience, and when one door opened and we heard the intense array of old hip hop sneaking through, we knew this was the place for us. We came into what I'm sure was part of a rehearsal for a video shoot: ladies in tight tiny dresses, men in timbos, caps, and gold watches, and lots and lots and lots of champagne popping. We can't leave out the DJ who had a commentary on every single song he played of course, because what's a party without a running commentary of instructions and reminders about 'the new ish' by the DJ.

While some couldn't fathom being stuck in this situation for too long, some of us stayed right until the last song played, the lights came on, and the old school R n' B started playing to usher us out. Being stuck in a 3 hour hip hop 'video rehearsal' was definitely a unique and awesome experience!
