Commissary (Happy Hour): Restaurant Four

Alrighty...i told you all i would find the perfect place to take the jump offs where no one will see you and you don't have to spend a lot of money. In addition you can get drunk for $20.

Drum roll please...Commissary in Dupont/Logan Circle!!!



Cuisine: American
‎Dining Style‎: (Very) Casual Dining
‎Reservations‎: who makes reservations for happy hour?? pretentious ass-holes, thats who.
‎Price Quartile‎: $
‎Parking‎: No Valet‎
Attire‎: Anything but butt nekkid-ness
‎Wine Specialty‎: happy hour wine anyone??

the skinny: i don't work too far from this spot. Uber low key, dim lighting and $4 Comi-Cado's (def didn't spell that right), Mojitos and Margaritas.

you can also eat for $4...they have chicken tenders, $2 ceasar salad ( you havent had a ceasar until youve had it with anchovies #truestory) and $3 garlic hummus w/ pita bread.

i don't know about you but i don't need much too eat when i'm drankin' so i'm good with the salad, now bring on the DRANKS!!!

this is the perfect place to take someone that you may not even like but definitely want to smush (thank you jersey shore). since it's in a trendy neighborhood, they'll think youre trendy and you can get them drunk with only $20.

My suggestion, order the Comi-Cado's, its the strongest of the happy hour drinks. the down side to this place is you have to bring your own sand to this beach. every time i've gone there was no eye candy; man or woman. a lot of couples and tired/drunk dupont workers. youre better off across the street, bagging a whole foods worker.

so how many Shakur's, HOW MANY SHAKUR'S?!?!?!

Since this is the cheapest we've gone, i'll give you a full body Shakur which is the equivalent to like a dozen plus thumbnail Shakurs :)

Playtime w/ Celebs: Tocarra (courtesy of Derek Blanks) Edition

since we're talking about Steph Jones and Fashion (huh, what...i don't see no steph jones and i don't see no fashion. *sigh* scroll down...carry on), it couldn't be more fitting to have a playtime with celebs: Tocarra (Ft. Steph Jones) for Derek Blanks.

Lets take a look at the shoot:



















Now don't get me wrong, i like tocarra. she was definitely a fave on ANTM. Derek blanks...well, he's ok. i thought the alter ego shoot was cool, like 3 yrs ago. but to me, as a fine arts graduate, his photos lack substance and depth. they all have a familiar ghetto fab-ness to them.

in this photo shoot Derek didn't let me down. he had tocarra reading on the floor in an evening gown and trench coat (complete with the designer label shopping bag placement). he had Tocarra give close up glam. he had tocarra play the JCPenny's model role. i mean he had her doing all the "My first photoshoot" poses and placements...tyra would not approve.

To me (my opnions) this looks very amateur and Derek Blanks is supposed to be the uber professional. Tocarra too...i blame you as well. you know better, you were taught better.

I'm not going to go in on the locale of the shoot but i will offer a suggestion on wardrobe and makeup. i mean what would Playtime w/ Celebs be without MY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

Stay tuned...

The Steph Jones Moment...

and what??? what you gon' do?? yeah i said it...steph jones is the new hottie with a body that i'm crushing on.

its so sad this thing i have for freckles on blk ppl..just sad. but seriously Steph is adorable and he seems like a nice guy. i mean he dated a virgin, don't get much sweeter than that.

breath him in, hold...gently spit out. hold again because as adorable as he is, i don't see this crush lasting too long.
