Now this young lady I'm about to talk about is gonna enjoy what I have to say about her. Nothing bad. Positive, nice, happy Garza!!!!!

Rock Glitter what a name!!!!???.....wink wink... I named Katie Berenson RockGlitter after one of our long and crazy nights of partying. The name stuck and boy oh boy does it fit her well. Born and raised in New York City, Manhattan, The Center Of The World Upper Eastside... Daddy's Little Girl. The little Rock child wanted to ditch her Gossip Girl High School and dash to a place where she could play basketball and study her art instead of hanging with the snotty little rich bitches that ran free in the city while their mommy's and daddy's vacationed in Paris. Smart move Rock Glitter!!!!!!!

Her art caught the attetion of the underground New York scene years ago. Now she has headed to Hollyweird to concur the westcoast. Her fisrt art show was held at FreakCity in Hollywood, the perfect place for a club kid inspired art party. Their was over 200 people who attened the show, with performances by "The Kiss Boyz" and "Countre Black" DJ Derek Montiero on the one's and two's. Vodka flowing bass bumping hearts thumping!!!! What a night, and what a collection!!!!!

"DIAMOND CROWNED QUEEN"

MISS RAJA winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race season 3 is more than amazing.
I recently had the pleasure of working with her. My manager Orlando Puerta
of Cirtrusonic Records approched me with a offer that I could not turn down.
Raja had been seeking the perfect song to record while waiting to find out the
result of the Drag Race's final episode. Other writers had submitted for her
but none got her attention. Now, Raja is not like any regular drag queen. She
is so much more. She is the epitome of the word "Androgeny" so this song couldn't
be your regular walk down the run way anthem. It had to be her!!!! So i thought
to myself, who is Raja? Raja is a rock star, a club kid, a party monster. She is beautiful
like a women and handsome like a man. She is dark and light. She is Grace Jones-like:
animalistic and a true creature. She is a Diamond Crown Queen. She chose my song.
Produced by the amazing Eddie Amador and Josh Peace!!!
Enjoy

The Abbey Food? and Smell good?

Let's talk about The Abbey!!!!!! I have been going to The Abbey for a long long time. When I started going to Abbey I was 16, fake I.D don't work anymore kids so stay home or go to TigerHeat. I have watched The Abbey transform from a small cafe to the most popular gay club in the world. Wow what a place. During the transformation The Abbey has had it's ups and downs.

We all know the perks the Abbey has to offer: hot bartenders, huge dance floor, cute go go dancers blah blah blah. Oh yeah and I forgot about the drinks lol. Nice strong cocktails, you can honestly have 2 or 3 drinks and be chillin for the rest of the night. You all know I have alittle more than 2 drinks :) The Abbey has been good to me. But lets talk some smack!!!!

I have noticed a change in the fancy bar in the past year and a half. The changes I have noticed happend once the famous SBE took over. SBE seems to be taking over the world one bar at a time. I always enjoyed the menu and the food at The Abbey but....not so much. I ususally ordered the spinch artichoke dip and the mac and cheese as starters, then a steak salad for my entree (don't judge im probably skinnier than you). Recently had dinner there for a friends birthday and my usual orders were a bit different. Who loves watery spinach dip and mac and cheese? Not me!!!!! Gross!!!! As for the salad, the leaves were weathered and soggy soaked in way to much dressing. Doesn't anyone know how to toss a salad anymore? let's talk some real shit!

REAL SHIT. Smelly smelly smelly. So not only haveI notcied that the food at The Abbey Stinks but the actual Abbey it self stinks.
I know that the restrooms are newly remodled, but did the architect have ventilation in mind? It's not that hard SBE im sure you have enough money to make sure your clubs don't smell like total shit. Even if that was the problem maybe, candles, glade, insense, something. No match is gonna fix this problem. If only the smell could just be flushed away. I know I hangout as far away from the restroom as i can when i visit this famously over sized porta potty we call The Abbey.

l.i.t.e Clothing!!!!

GIRLICIOUS

Hollerrrr!!!!!
So, we just wrapped the new Girlicious music video (maniac). So fucking fetch. LOOK OUT because these bitches are coming your way. There's nothing that these three girls can't do as individuals--put them together and it's fire, fire, fire!! Chrystina, Natalie, and Nichole worked their asses off today.

They all can sing, dance, and oh did i forget!? they're fine as fuck. my bad...there's one other thing...their bodies are bangin. If this new music video doesn't explode the future of Girlicious, then who knows what will. Only an idiot wouldn't recognize these three young talented ladies.

The energy on set was exciting, productive, and definitely interesting. The video was shot at Linda Vista Hospital. This place has history! The hospital was constructed for railroad employees in 1904 and reconstructed in 1924. In 1991, the hospital ceased operation as a hospital, and has been used primarily as a filming location ever since. The hospital was even placed on the National Register of Historic Places. (Wikipedia). Spooky, scary, spooky, BOO! This old nut house was definitely haunted. Equipped with padded cells, holding tanks, hospital beds, a morgue, and dark endless hallways. This hospital was even featured on MTV's "Fear," a popular television show researching paranormal activity. Its not only the perfect place for a moron like me to go exploring, but also the perfect location to shoot a video entitled, "Maniac." So stay tuned for the release. Lips, Lashes, Tits, Asses, Hair, Heels. This video will satisfy you more than a hot meal. Get Into It!!!

Side Note- This video would not be possible without Robin Antin, Mikey Minden, Bobby Newberry, Anthony Garza. Director ___. And the three sexy vixons that make up Girlicious. Love you guys!!!

RICKY MARTIN "I'M PROUD"

"A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life. From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating.

For many years, there has been only one place where I am in touch with my emotions fearlessly and that's the stage. Being on stage fills my soul in many ways, almost completely. It's my vice. The music, the lights and the roar of the audience are elements that make me feel capable of anything. This rush of adrenaline is incredibly addictive. I don't ever want to stop feeling these emotions. But it is serenity that brings me to where I'm at right now. An amazing emotional place of comprehension, reflection and enlightenment. At this moment I'm feeling the same freedom I usually feel only on stage, without a doubt, I need to share.

Many people told me: "Ricky it's not important", "it's not worth it", "all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse", "many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature". Because all this advice came from people who I love dearly, I decided to move on with my life not sharing with the world my entire truth. Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions.

If someone asked me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would answer "the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war…child slavery, terrorism…the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith." But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where born with. Enough is enough. This has to change. This was not supposed to happen 5 or 10 years ago, it is supposed to happen now. Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.

What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word "happiness" takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution.

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.

Tynisha Keli

Damn I don't even know where to begin when writting about this girl. Huuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, let's see. Tynisha Keli is one of my really good friends, I love this girl with all my heart. I met her through a good friend of mine Mikey Minden (I will blog about him also, but ya'll ain't ready). It was about 8 years ago when I styled her and her dancers for a showcase in Atlanta. First thing I thought when i met her was "Tiny hood girl with a big story and a big voice". When you look at her you might think she's just a little cute sweet white girl, but only a dumb ass wouldn't take the time to see what she's really about. Her life story is heartbreaking and you can hear it in your voice. When you hear her sing or watch her perform it's obvious that music is a passion that runs through her veins. It's a god given talent. This portuguese young lady was born in New Bedford Massachusetts where her life wasn't picture perfect. Tynisha struggled financially for most of her life. Her only escape were her headphones and a Brandy CD.

Miss Keli released her 1st single on Warner Bros. Records "I Wish You Loved Me" on her freshman Album "The Chronicles of TK" on April 28, 2009. It was released on iTunes in the US and in Japan a few days after. Japan welcomed her with open arms and the tour was a success. I actually had the pleasure of styling her and her dancers for this promo tour. While in Japan TK teamed up with some of Japan's most well known artists:
.

TK was created by the musical talents of Kara DioGuardi, Jonathan "JR" Rotem, Rico Love, Tha CornaBoyz, Soulshock & Karlin, Ne-Yo, Mario, and Grammy award winners The Jam (Michael Mani & Jordan Omley).


She had a minor role in the 2009 musical remake film "Fame" where she was featured singing in the cafeteria to "This is My Life."
In late 2009 Tynisha announced via Twitter she would be leaving her record label Warner Bros. although no reason was provided. In January 2010 Tynisha announced, via Ustream, that she was working on her sophomore album "5th Element" and all vocal orders would be managed By Pierre Midore of Tha Corna Boyz. She also stated this album would be released in Europe only and she was working on her USA debut (both released through a unknown Company). It was confirmed that "The 5th Element" would be released July 2010. Some of her influences include Faith Evans, Brandy Norwood, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, and New Edition.

My fondest memory is standing in line at 711 while Tynisha belted out "Emotional Rollercoaster" by Vivian Green at the top of her lungs. It was as though she was invisible. This is something that she would do often...wink wink....and I enjoyed it.
I can't wait to see what you have in store next! Don't forget to check out the "Mic Sessions" video below.
Love you TK.

I LOVE A GIRL WITH GOOD FASHION

A GOOD BOOK????

Ummmmmmmm Hmmmmmmm. So, I'm not much of a reader. After I graduated high school the only thing I focused my attention on was dance and fashion. ACTUALLY, those are the two things I have focused on my whole life. Even though these things make me happy and have taken me to where I am today, I need to broaden my horizons. So I started by picking up a book. Ironiclly the book that caught my attention is about SEX. 'The Sexual Life Of Catherine M' is a best seller around the world and has been named one of the most important books on sexuality to date. This book makes Sex and The City look like a Disney story so keep this book outta' the hands of your little ones. If you've seen the popular series featured on showtime called The Diary Of a Call Girl then you will be completely into this book. In fact, you'll like the book much more. I couldn't put it down and rarely blinked (I had to take eye drops) lol. While reading the book I felt like my mom was gonna walk in and ask me what I was reading. I thought to myself "should I be reading this?" Then I realized HELL YESSSSS I'm gonna read it. Catherine Millit was a strong believer in sexual exploration. Her biography shows that she lived in a time and place where sexual liberation was her reality. This book is a full documentary on which her sexuality is based. This book is more than dirty! With in depth descriptions on group coupling, orgies, high class sex parties, etc. this book keeps you entertained. And the fact that she is a beautiful french women whose story takes place throughout Europe makes it even sexier. If you've been there then you know what I mean. The interesting thing is.....while reading this book you don't think of Catherine as a whore. It's written so gracefully that you have no chocie but to understand her exploration with sex. I recommend you read this and explore! Enjoy!!!

DESCRETE ROYALTY

Tevin Vincent

Confident, calm, cool, and collected. There's nothing descrete about this stand up guys since of fashion. This young designer started off turning simple t-shirts into a local Los Angelos trend.

Vincent is on the move! He's not stopping at designing T-shirts, as fashion moves forward so will Vincent and his blossoming career. Get Into It!!!!!!

"SHE STRUCK GOLD"

Let's talk about Tina Gold. Tina is a sexy lady that will always greet you with a friendly warm smile. When I first met Tina she was working in a dental office. A good job... but good jobs are not nessassarily satisfying. She seemed happy but somtheing was missing. I felt like her heart was searching for more. Years passed since I saw Tina, when recently I ran into her at a local barber shop. Something was different. Her smile was brighter and her eyes shined like the sun. Her energy was fun and she seemed excited about life. Tina had ditched the office job and put her energy full force into being an artist. She found her niche. This is a creative beautiful soul and all eyes should be on her! What will she create next? I'm not the first or last to take notice of Miss Gold. Singer songwriter Keri Hilton has been spotted wearing Gold's coustom jewlery and rapper television host, Little Ma Ma, has her nails done quite frequently by Miss Gold. Let's not forget top model Eva Pigford who sports Tina's nails and jewlery. This is only the beginning Tina! I wish you the best and I'm glad you found your true happiness! :)

BEST KEPT SECRET

IROHA SUSHI ****

There's nothing better than fresh sushi and I have found just the spot. I hate to give away something that's so special to me, but I think it's time I unleash the dragon. Located at 12953 Ventura Blvd. Studio City, CA 91604, you'll find a true treasure. Iroha Sushi is neatly tucked away behind an authentic Japanese style ceramics and weaving store. The food is extremely delicious. Trust me I know good sushi. I have been to Japan more than 10 times and have dined at some of Tokyo's finest restaurants. My personal favorites from Iroha are: spicy miso soup, halibut carpaccio, oishi mignon, and the pink panther roll (the house special). This little home-like sushi restaurant is small from the outside but inside there is a big surprise... it's packed with celebrities and customers. They have fantastic service and a speedy staff to accommodate all your needs and desires. Packed or not? Iroha is still intimate and great for any occasion: dates, birthdays, or simply a dinner with family and friends. (Dress code is casual chic). Check it out! You will not be disappointed. Garza says????? Two thumbs up!!!! Me likey ;)

KICK ASS CHICK

Varunie Vongsvirates
When we first met .........we were in 7th grade at Greenfield Jr. High School. So... I got mad history with this chick. We were both born and raised in the little town of Bakersfield California. Varunie's demeanor was shy and quiet and her appearance was plane plane jane. Don't get me wrong she always had a great face. She always wore her hair pulled back in a tight ponytail with jeans and a t-shirt with not a stitch of makeup. Oh, and did i forget to say she was a teachers pet and a straight A student! Well, little miss perfect had a sexy secret. In the summers she would sneak away to Thailand where she was a completely different girl. No, not a prostitute!!!!! Gross, but in Thailand she would work as a model: fashion magazines, music videos, television shows and much more. When she lets her hair down everyone turns their heads. This young exotic beauty has a face like no other. She's a beautiful mix of her father from thailand and her mother from Spain. Like i always say, don't let a pretty face fool you. This chick kicks ass! A full on martial artist, Hi-Yah!!!!!!! Weapons, sparring, and advanced kata...this chick knows her Habkido.
One day after school she asked me to come to her brothers Dojo for an exercise. I had no idea what I was in for. Lets just say she made me look like a punk and so I didn't attend school the next day. I didn't realize that underneath that "ordinary girl" ???(I think not) there was the face of an angel and abs of steel.
