Sexy socialite Michella bartended the event as she asks a customer what they were drinking. The drinks were FRIZEE by the way.
Bibbs, who has performed on BET, was first on the mike. He gave the crowd his brand of hip-hop comedy.
Bibbs performed his famous routine, "That's What I Thought.' that put the crowd in stitches.
Local gangsta hip-hop artsists 2G was raw and rugged with two originals, "Gettin them Presidents" and "Down in the St. Louis Hustle."
Sir Ervin did two conscious pieces, "Freed," and "Stand." that got the crowd listening on its ear to every word as Michella and body paint artist Jessica Dana look on in teh background.
A candid shot of Black Pearl's Roland Page and guest at the event (Too bad I couldnt get a pic of the tattoo on the top of his head! LOL) .
The last act was Teresa Payne accompanied by Wildman. She was like a new school version of Millie Jackson who can sing and be funny. She sang, "If Only I Could Give You a Piece of Mind," Go To Hell, Baby," and ended her set with a short prayer thanking God of her life.
EVENT-VIEWZ. After I attended the St. Louis Magazine Party at Westin last Thursday nite, I trekked over to IAM Boutique in University City for the debut of this event. I only found out about this new monthly event the day before when I got a flier on my car while I was at Got Lyrics at Van Goghz. Although the crowd was a bit sparse, the show was enteratining and gave people a chance to network and hear some of STL's talented people.
