Bashment Review: Lava Ranks "School Girl Crush" Birthnight Bash: Pass or Fail?

It was all about Lava Ranks’ Birthnite bash last Saturday at Dailey’s Blue Mountain Inn. As this is becoming the year of the dancehall theme, Chat ‘Bout was glad to see a “School Girl Crush” dance since there hadn’t been one in a long while….

As Chat Bout entered the dance, we were greeted by the guest of honor, Principal Lava Ranks, sporting a suit and tie along with a group of plaid gals sporting the traditional school girl looks complete with backpacks and knee socks. (Did they read the blog and decide to STEP up to this theme?) We were pleased to see many partygoers out and about representing their school days with plaid skirts, ties and khaki all around.

Other celebs in the school yard included the God Bless Crew, The Untouchable Crew (sans Sharon), Blacka, The Designing Women Crew (still getting much love for their Labor Day Birthnite Bash), Toronto Jay alongside Desmond, Ms. Brandi from the CGP Crew, Ms. Trini and Destiny. Also in the place was The Big Man himself, Mr. Dailey.

All of Cleveland’s sounds came out to support this birthnight bash. Of course, New Horizon was on hand spinning a few tunes (was it me or were there more selectors behind the booth that people on the dancefloor?), Sample Jacks’ KC Platinum played a few tunes and lead the birthnight greetings to his fellow selector and told the crowd that Lava Ranks will soon be off the market as he announced his engagement to R & B female selector, DJ Juice. (Hmmmm, was that why the happy couple were on the party flyer?) The future Mrs. Ranks also blessed the crowd with an R & B set during the dance.

Getting their “A” in school house fashion included the cutie dressed as the tennis instructor, the cap and gown ensemble complete with the hot gal dotted dress underneath, Lady T in the tan plaid ensemble, the hot boy sporting the school boy vest and khakis, Jodi Untouchable showing how sexy a lavender school girl can be, the mother and daughter team rocking the high waist denim skinny jeans and jumpsuit, respectively, and the cutie in the peach House of Dereon frock.

Feeling Blue that you missed out on the (themed) fun? Get ready for Super Dee’s annual Blue and White Birthnight Bash on October 6th!



Keep up the good (fashion) work Cleveland! And……


Stay Bashy!
