I tried to get out to Brooklyn fairly early because Miss Mykela asked me if I would do her makeup....so I had no choice but to honor her request...lol...it was real easy because Missy lady is quite beautiful and doesn't really need any!
Anyway, I dragged my friend Deb with me and we rode out to Bay Ridge on the train. 
Upon our arrival we went upstairs to the "holding area" where she was upstairs waiting for me....
Upon our arrival we went upstairs to the "holding area" where she was upstairs waiting for me....Also upstairs was a newly married couple, whose groom was Italian and the bride was Russian....they shared a glass of Champagne with me and were some of the nicest folks I've met in a minute. I wish the happy couple all the best!
After I finished beating Miss Mykela's face, she changed into an absolutely stunning orange evening dress....Mama Michelle was also done up in an orange number (that I hear she designed herself...you GO girl!!!)
Anyway, we made our way downstairs and straight to the open bar...I was told by her mom to "close the bar down!!!"....lol...but I don't drink like that anymore...so I just settled for a glass of white wine....Deb was throwing back the Jack Daniels & Cranberry Juice!
Shortly after our drinks Mykela made her entrance escorted by her mom, Michelle and her brother Myles (who is the son of my late home boy photographer Ronn Thornton)....I hadn't seen Myles in a few years and he's grown up quite a bit! He looks and moves more like his dad every day...(lol...he HATED the suit he had to wear)....
After Mykela came in and danced with her mom...who cried almost immediately, the dinner buffet was open, and a young brother played some tunes on the steel drum while we dined....I got a chance to chat with Michelle's mom for a moment (I don't get to see her too often) and dinner was followed by reggae (ya'll KNOW I was dying right??? lol) and Soca music (Mykela & her family are from Trinidad)....and I partied with Mykela & her family until almost midnight and then I had to hoof it back to Manhattan...on the way out though we stopped outside the other ballroom where the couple I had champagne with earlier were partying....they were playing the Cha-Cha slide and Deb and I paused for a few moments to get a couple of moves in before we departed (lol...slide to the left....slide to the right...criss cross!!!)
And speaking of Champagne...I almost forgot to mention that Miss Mykela pulled a "Miss Ross" on us and just as I was heading out home girl was headed back upstairs to change into a beautiful champagne colored evening dress for the 2nd half of her party....lol...I ain't mad baby....THAT'S how a DIVA does it!!!
Happy 17th Mykela and many more....thank you for inviting me to share your special day...
Love you much....Keep making us all proud!
