I know Im always raving about Felipe's and its 2 for 1 drink special on Wednesdays, but I wont ignore the other drink special that everyone and their mama knows about. EVERYone knows what happens on Mondays and Wednesdays: $5.50 larges at New Orleans Original Daiquiris!! People act like this is a holiday. You dont even have to ask, "What you doing today?" You already know! Lol.
My favorite daiquiri is the DeKuyper Peachtree Bellini.It consists of DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps with Champagne, Rum, Peach Nectars and Peach Flavors. Oh...my...goodness! It is THE BEST daiquiri they could have ever produced! It's not one of the strong ones, so if you're looking to get "right," you shouldnt try this one. But if you want something good, get it! It tastes just like a snowball.
$5.50 larges are available Mondays and Wednesdays @ ANY New Orleans Daiquiri location, during hours of operation. ♥
Here's a tip on a few locations:
Below is the official video/commercial for the concert.
Peep:
The song, "Living Legend," is from Dee-1's album David & Goliath. If you dont have a copy of the album, make your way to Best Buy or download it from iTunes and get that!
FREE MAC!
Everybody has a story to tell. Sometimes, a person's story will give you the chills. In comes McKinley Phipps, better known to the world as "MAC," the former No Limit Records recording artist.
Mac's career on No Limit included the release of his album "Shell Shocked" in 1998 and his sophomore release "World War III" in 1999. Unfortunately, just when things were getting brighter for the young artist, on Feb 22nd, 2000 his life changed. After a fight broke out at one of his shows and a man was shot and killed, Mac was wrongfully accused of the crime. Despite a TAPED CONFESSION to the crime given by an in-law of Mac (which was thrown out by the court) & regardless of the fact that the murder weapon was never found, Mac, who was 22 years old at the time, was convicted of negligent manslaughter and sentenced to 30 years. With little evidence to convict him, his rap moniker "The Camouflage Assassin", and spotlighted lyrics from a few of his songs were enough to wrongly convince the jury to view this young man as a threat to society.
So where does that leave us?
Well, its time for action.
Anyone who has my album "David & Goliath" knows that i have a song on there dedicated to MAC, entitled "Living Legend." Like I said on the album, its more than just a song, its a call to action. Justice will not be served until Mac is given a fair trial and is acquitted of this wrongful conviction.
Therefore, I proudly announce......
The LIVING LEGEND BENEFIT CONCERT: Honoring McKinley "MAC" Phipps.
So far, the lineup includes myself, Dee-1 (w/2nd Story), DJ Raj Smoove, DJ EF Cuttin, Shamarr Allen, New Era Brass Band, Truth Universal, DJ Big Cheez, former NO LIMIT RECORDS recording artists, former members of the Psychoward, and more SURPRISE GUESTS TBA.
Date: Saturday, August 1st
Time: 9:00 pm-2:00 am
Admission: $10 all nite
100% OF PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO HIS LEGAL DEFENSE FUND.
We will also be screening the unreleased documentary, "THE CAMOUFLAGED TRUTH" which is narrated by C-Murder and contains never before seen footage and testimonies regarding MAC's case.
Like Facebook and MySpace, Radio504.com is a social networking site, but much more. Radio504.com gives local artists a chance to shine. Featuring an online radio, it plays the best independent hip-hop and R&B from New Orleans & surrounding Areas...
But that's not all...there's more.

You know Im a heavy advocate of Felipe's Taqueria. I always go on Wednesdays for their 2 for 1 margaritas, but Ive noticed that they have drinks specials all week. On Tuesdays, it's wine night.
At the Uptown location, they have Elio's Wine Tasting Tuesdays. Try Elio's wine of the week. $2 glass wine and $10 bottle wine.
At the Downtown location, they have $10 bottles of wine.
If you like wine, this a must for you! They have a variety of red and white wines for you to enjoy. Stop by anytime because this special is all day long!! Just remember the hours of operation on Tuesdays are 11a - 10p. ♥
We all have been to The Boot for Tuesday nights! Nothing has changed. It's still a $5 cover $0.50 drinks from 10p - 1a.
EVERY Tuesday it goes down at The Pub. Even though it's called Girls Night Out, it's not limited to females. Ive gone before and there are a lot of guys out! And you dont have to live an alternative lifestyle to be apart of it. Ive been before and had a blast! There's also a drag show. Not your typical drag show where guys dress up as women, but vice versa. Ladies come out, dressed like guys and perform different songs. It's pretty cool and different from the regular "club scene" in New Orleans. Get into it!
The show starts at Midnight, but when it's over the DJ spins and it turns into a party. He's good, too. ♥

He's such a cutie!! I most def have a crush. =]
There's nothing more to love than a good non-chippery nail polish, and OPI gives me what I need. I love it!! It's classic and classy. Some of my faves are Bubble Bath, Sweetheart, Hopelessly In Love, Done Out In Deco, Monsooner or Later, Cajun Shrimp, and Black Onyx.
I think OPI has the best line of nail polish and nail lacquer, and it's worth $9. Last night I was told that Im a "high end" girl because I had like 3 bottles of OPI in my bag. LOL. Crazy. ♥
....Real short.
I love, love, love Solange!! Her style and personality are awesome, but I cant get into this cut right now. I'm gonna have to get use to this one. ♥
We all remember the famous Chihuahua from the Taco Bell advertisements. "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" was the phrase that captured the hearts of millions of Taco Bell lovers across the world.
