Diesel xXx Circus Party Pictures N.Y.C...

To commemorate their Thirty years of bringing you the latest fashion, last night brand Diesel threw a multiple city bash that culminated in one of the meccas of the fashion world New York City!

In addition to the totally free awesome food that was provided, they were on a mad tirade to keep the guests entertained by providing a limited chance to get your hands on their anniversary "Dirty Thirty" themed denim at a price of $50 plus free ticket to the event so depending on how you look at your entrance fee particulars, you walked away with somethign good. Another mad dash with the party festivities came from free performances by Chaka Kahn, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, T.I & DJ Drama, N*E*R*D, and M.I.A (Who is heavily pregnant!)

The only drawback to the night in our hip-hop loving fanboy eyes was that there weren't any special guest appearances on T.I.P's set of his Paper Trail single "Swagger Like Us". However as you may have guessed, M.I.A did lend a live helping hand to the songs chorus in which she helped inspire with her lyrics from her song "Paper Planes".

Franz Ferdinand, who was a last minute special announced guest, seriously tore the stage down performing a myriad of their records including "Take Me Out" and "Darts Of Pleasure". Chaka Khan infused a crowd mixed of twenty-somethings and generation X-er's alike who all came together to spew her lyrics back at her as if it were the early 90's.

Closing the show were headliners N*E*R*D with the most craziest of sets that included songs from their latest effort Seeing Sounds and "Lap Dance" from their 2001 effort In Search Of.... Mr. Williams, always the showman, was ever playing into the crowd as well as pulling ladies onto the stage for their song "Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom) similar to this previous performance.

Damn His Red Hat!!!

We had a blast! Thanks to all who showed up and got crazy with us as well as brand Diesel for throwing such a kick ass party!!!

Heath Ledger's Bar Opens...

The late great Heath Ledger had an interest in creating the best place for you to enjoy a little slice of his hometown's delicacies...and it's in Brooklyn!

Introducing Five Leaves. You may see the familiar hipster scene as this is now a cult lure for any and everything hip with the recent passing of Mr. Ledger and his performance in one of the greatest selling movies of all time, 2008's The Dark Knight.






What Five Leaves delivers is a unique Californian meets Aussie inspired lounge space reasonably decorated with hand crafted furnishings.

" It's all meant to be a super casual California- and Australia-tinged cafe, coffeehouse and oyster bar, with greenmarket snacks like Sliced Radishes on Toast with Evans Farmhouse Butter. "

Sounds awesome. Thanks Heath.

Five Leaves is Located @:

18 Bedford Ave (at Lorimer and Nassau), Williamsburg Brooklyn
