Mr. Dailey's and Maggie's Customer Appreciation Bash

Santa made an early delivery of good vibes and great tunes to Mr. Dailey’s and Maggie’s Customer Appreciation Bash held on Saturday, December 22nd. Whether is was one of the last opportunities for the local dancehall celebrities made to make an appearance before the end of 2006 (or the promise of winning some fabulous small appliances), the holiday spirit was in the air as there was a capacity turnout at the bash. Among the crowd were The Untouchable Crew, The Big Family Crew and newlywed KC Platinum. The bash was in full force as Star Temple rocked the capacity crowd into a -premature- 3am.

Santa also granted this writer with a delivery of a few dancehall fashion stars in attendance. As always, the flawless God Bless Crew, followed by the laid back stylings of the Designing Women Crew, Eye – the fave fashion dancehall icon and the never-seen-him-in-the-same-fit-twice Burlow, impressing the masses with a pink (yes, pink) and grey check suit with – are you ready – matching spectators and fedora – W O W! Sprinkled in the fashion mix were a few ultra fem, hot honeys in a range of styles from cropped vests to wide belts and girly dresses.

It is the disappointment of this writer as well as others in attendance that the party seemed to end on the cusp of the bashment going into FULL force. As the selector turned the tunes from hot to fire, no sooner than the bashment girls began to get even more bashy – the music stopped, on came the lights followed by Mr. Dailey upon the mike to deliver the news: “I am sorry, but the party is finished,” he said, “I wish it could go on all night, but I a sorry to say it can’t.” The crowd, some in disbelief and some, who thought it was a joke, ( I included) continue to stay for a few more tunes.

All in all, the bash was a huge success and a great way to say goodbye to 2006!

Ciao!
