Last night I went to what had to be one of the funnest... ( yes FUNNEST) parties to date. It was brought to you by B.P.T. They have a way of incorporating House and FUN all at the same time. Always bringing you something other than JUST a party.
In previous Blogs, I've written about both the B (Bruce Bailey) and the P (Phil Tha Mixx). I touched on the T(Tracey Marvin).. This Blog is mostly about the T(Tracey). Not only does that, "T" begin the spelling of her name. It also stands for..tough, team player, tenacious, and totally cool.
I always try to put a little of myself in each Blog, to allow the readers to get to know a bit more about me. This morning my mind was all a buzz of what I wanted to write and how I wanted the format to go. I was so full of thoughts and ideas. So full of what I had experienced the night before.
I am the product of a blended family, my father had 3 children before he met my mom and my mom brought two children with her. My siblings are ( in order of birth) Keith, Celeste, Paul( who passed away when I was 8), Phyllis (Andrea), Anita ( Bunny- she was born on Easter) and yours truly...MEEE.
My dad worked the midnight shift at Ford and kept, for his families safety a .38 pearl handle nickle plated pistol and a 12 gauge shot gun. He always told his girls, if something happened USE THE SHOT GUN. Cause no matter what, if you aim in the direction of the intruder you are going to hit your target. Only my sister Andrea and I were brave enough to handle the shot gun. I liked the .38 better though. While I love my sisters DEARLY my sister Andrea has ALWAYS been my favorite. Celeste is the smart one. Studying in France and going on to work for the Nigerian government. My sister Bunny is the homebody..the pretty one. My sister Andrea is the creative, adventure seeking, Scorpio.. and I, well, I am the spoiled, bratty lil sister that was always made to tag along., who will protect her sisters at any given time. ( I am the crazy one, and also sweet/nice one) ANYWHO... Andrea has always been there for me, even when I got on her last nerves, always supported me. She understands and loves me flaws and all. Not to say that she has not wanted to kill me at times but loves overcomes ALL.
Ok by now I'm sure your wondering what does PJ's sister and Tracey Marvin have in common. Well, for starters they are both Scorpio's, they both LOVE life and adventure, can never EVER stay in one place at for any amount of time. Have to be in the center of things ( but not in a, "look at me, I'm the queen of the world kinda way"). They both have a, "can do" never give up attitude. They both love to keep people happy and will be there for you come hell or high water. But... will cuss you out in a heartbeat, hit you..and patch you up after saying, "you know I love you but I just had to fuck you up for that bullshit you pulled"! Lastly ( and in my opinion- most important) they have ME in common- lol, shameless plug.
This morning I was full of what I wanted to say about Tracey and what she has done for the House community here. So since we have like, the SLOWEST high speed Internet EVER. I called my sister Andrea and told her I was on my way..her Internet is super fast. I grabbed my computer, threw on some basketball shorts, turned my Detroit Tigers hat to the back. Grabbed my personal copy of Todd Johnson's, Nasty as I Am. ( I never leave home without it)-besides me and this one good eye are going to finish that book. Jumped in my car, threw in Earl Mixxin McKinney's Decompression CD and flew up 8 mile towards Oak Park. Side note: That CD always turns my Neon into a Porche 911. All the way here I was praying the state boys were not layin in wait for a 2002 Dodge Neon pushing 50 mph, feeling like 110 mph, cause as I just stated.. Decompression turns Neonda into a Porche, jetting to my sisters house. All to write about my sister in House. >>> and "NO, that was NOT a typo, I name my cars.
The reason for naming this Blog, Tracey Marvin- The Shot Gun, cause no matter what she aims for she is goin to get a "hit". I 1st became acquainted with TMarv ( as she is affectionately known) about 2 years ago and while it has come with some downs, the "ups" out weight them. You can't help but respect what she does and who she is. Always promoting fun and excitement. She is the fire that brings the Heat, part of the Tandem, and now..B.P.T.--- before I forget..did I tell you that THIS heffa is like 143 and can still do the splits, like the SPLITS?!?! Like the ones Cheerleaders do. In some tight ass jeans. Yes, she can do it all.
What is B.P.T.? ( well... see the intro to the Blog sillies) but, they are the promo team that supports something new, something different. Their goal?! Fun, low cost excitement, different venues. They make your feet sore, and on occasions might make you wake up to someone you don't even know the next morning. ( thanks to that "open bar" train of thought)- While the, B(Bruce) and the P(Phil Tha Mixx) spin, you will find the T(TMarv) greeting all those who have spent their hard earned money to attend one of the functions. Be it, bowling, boat rides, table tennis clubs, with them you get, "Housefun" (new word, please feel free to add it to your dictionary). With them, your thought the next day after the event is, OMG, I had so much fun. You see different people- some non House Heads even. Hey, its our secret plot to turn all of Detroit into House Heads. First Detroit...next THE WORLD #MOVEMENT!!!! You see the beauty that is House, my House sisters you ALL looked FAB last night, I got the chance to meet the beautiful Tracie Richardson and she is just as pretty inside as she is out!- keep that lip gloss close gurl. LOL.
Ok, Im going to change up for a minute. Last night.. we got to hear the DJ stylings of Terrence Parker ( y'all KNOW that just made my BFF- Tomika Murry, as happy as a hooker at a Baptist Convention)- But, the highlight of the night was, "HIM" yes..HIM... NOT TP, not Big Sexy aka Rick Wilhite, but.. "HIM", the man who made me make up a new word. "Swaggsiness".. that's Swag and Sexiness.. Mr. Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodyman. >>> I'm going to pause here and go get a bag of ice and put it, well you don't need to know where. Just know that its needed... Please hold! OK, I'm back..In my opinion when one of the following shows up at a party..you know you have something great on your hands. That's.. Vernon, Norm, Delano, Marcellus, and Moody if they show up... its a HIT!!!
Now, in my life right now I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the person who shares my inner most thoughts and feelings, but that damn Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moody Man well HELL...do I REALLY need to say more..NOPE, I don't. Not only is he MAD cool, a MASTERFUL DJ, ULTRA SEXY, profound Producer, he is also a REALLY nice man. He could eat Chitlins out of a slop bucket and make it look good!
Oh...oh damn this is NOT about Moody, back to, not about Kenny...and, I digress...
B.P.T. will continue to bring change and move you like no others can. If you have not been to an event, please make a note to be at the next one. Last night, on my way out of DRIVE, I happened upon a conversation with a Dr. PhD. she RAVED about how much fun she had and could not wait for the next event. I advised her on how to keep abreast of the goings on, she gave me her business card. The point I'm trying to make is...no matter who you are, or your station in life.. different is good change is good, music and love of life and partying with your family is good. Open bar.. good. When you are here in Detroit, and there is a party hosted by the aforementioned persons..join them..You are bound to see the following.. Ced on the door, GREAT DJs on the box, music that moves you into a zone to which you will not soon return, And my sister my friend ( and yes, sometimes we both want to grab each other and shake the gray matter out of each other) in the end we will both kiss and make up. We will fight each other and protect each other. Here's the great thing... The same thing she will do for me, she will do for YOU! She is equal across the board. I say this not for you to approve or disapprove of.. Tracey Marvin DOES throw the hottest parties and all are welcomed.. she holds no punches and loves all that love her, she does not throw "shade" and will not spill the "tea" she has an infectious smile, and 3 beautiful children..( that middle one is my fav)- she will stand up to anyone, but has love for everyone. Tracey understands that without YOU the people her gigs would be all for not.
She is, Tracey Marvin, she IS my sister, my friend. and my love/respect for her and what she does is beyond measure...
Let The Music Play
