ahh working in the media world really does have perks. not like being a lowly teacher. good thing for me my cousin is in that business! she brought me to...
TIKI BARBER'S RETIREMENT PARTY!! hosted by Gotham Magazine
location:: Capitale on Bowery Street

theatrical performances:: the place was filled with randomness such as live statues, dangling women, & leotard sporting dancers.

press line up:: started the night off next to the media frenzy so we could catch a glimpse of people as they walked in.
first to arrive... NY Giants WR #81, Amani Toomer. next... America's Next Top Model Season 6 Winner, Caridee.

star of the show... NY Giants RB #21, Tiki Barber. rounding it up... NY Giants QB #10, Eli Manning.

fanatic shots:: since i missed my chance at my school fundraiser with NFL last year, i was determined to get as many pics with famous people as possible!
Caridee! she's super nice. she even stooped down to my height!

NY Giants RB #27, Brandon Jacobs. he saw me trying to take a pic & stood there to pose for me. too bad my camera wouldn't work! Mets pitcher, John Franco. i hear he was their best closer ever. but he did take a pic with us. not too sure who he is, but i took this just for joe since i didn't take him to the party.

i asked eli for a pic, but he told me to wait & walked into the VIP section, where he stayed all night talking to ladies.
 (it's ok, i always liked peyton more. humph. )
self-paparazi shots:: all the stars stayed in the VIP section & did not join us common folk, so we gave up after awhile and decided to take our own paparazi shots.
my cousin jenny & her bf nelson

bran & me!

and here's my poor attempt at posing...

overall, fun experience. i didn't get to take a pic with tiki, but at least i met him last year at the fundraiser. highlight was definitely meeting Caridee and having my cousin tell her i almost cried for her during the show, and then her bending wayy down to my height to take TWO pictures with me.
and yes, i did know all the players (with the exception of john franco) before i went. i love football. my heart's with the eagles, but i still got love for the NY teams.
thanks jenny for bringing me!!  |
