It was a colorful scene inside ENCORE Friday night (7.17), as newbie to the nightlife scene, THE FIRM, hosted their first major event -- a STOP LIGHT PARTY.
For those that don't know, at these parties guests dress up in different colors of a Stop Light -- according to their relationship status.
GREEN means you're single, YELLOW means "it's complicated", and RED means you're taken.
All the colors were represented Friday night:
Some even showed up in several or ALL the colors:
Even couples showed up in their RED outfits:
Others showed up in some interesting attire (LOL):
Outside the party, THE FIRM had a VIP Line, complete with red carpet photos (shout out to Iz of IM Photography) ... and a personal elevator escort to bring them up to the 2nd floor (where another photographer was waiting).
Everyone else had to catch those stairs LOL.
INSIDE the party, VIP was the place to BE!!!
Champagne on ice on each table on the lower level, Wii in the upper level ... along with a personal waitress at their beckon call ...
And in the back (curtained) area there were "dancers" catching a pole and giving the fellaz a reall good show (LOL .. I mistakenly went back there to get some food and was traumatized ...
I never did get anything to eat :( LOL ) The VIP's had a really good time and definitely got their 20 dollars worth!!! :)
In the rest of the club, the people were dancing, the bars were packed and US photographers were busy! :) [Yes, about 20 ppl packed into that ONE photo .. smh]
I had fun, thanks to appeareances by some of my friends:
Overall, the party got a slow start but hundreds showed up and it was a great turnout for THE FIRM's first big event. There were few glitches (like with any event) but from the outside looking in, it was a damn-near flawless execution.
They delivered exactly (maybe even more than) what they promised in their promotion. When guests complained about the admission price, they accomodated their request by lowering the price for a limited amount of time (but didn't budge after that ... event hosts, take heed!), the DJs played a variety of songs, and they made sure to have media there (i.e. photographers) to document the event. And there was AIR .. and NO DRAMA!!! :)
Props to them ... If they keep up the momentum, the 21 and ups will have a place to get their party on with an even balance of crunkness and classiness (if that is possible these days lol).
One of the FIRM members tells me they're planning another even for September ... details when I get more info ... Til then ....

[I hope none of the people I photographed will get in trouble for their outfits (like wearing green when you're engaged, or the pregnant person in yellow), but I apologize in advance :)]
