Can you say R-E-S-P-E-C-T? The Dancehall masses came out on a COLD Monday night to pay tribute to one of Cleveland's biggest Dancehall Celebrities the late NAY NAY. It was all about family and friends with another special edition of 'Hot Mondays' with a 'Bashment & Barbie Bash" for Brina, NayNay (4-10-76 RIP), and G-Man. For the record: For those of you who remember, the Bashment crew consists of Nay Nay and her sisters while the Barbie Doll Crew is made up of Nay Nay cousins. I will always remember Nay Nay when she came to the dance – she was always cute, fly and always keep her family CLOSE!
Chat' Bout was more than happy to accept the invitation to come out and celebrate with the ladies, and needless to say, like many Mondays nights at Dailey’s lately, if you missed this bash, you missed a lot. The dance was full of vibes, great tunes, fun and a lot of love. It was great to feel the vibe of love for these ladies by everyone in attendance. Once again, the Cleveland dancehall scene pulled together to show support for one of its most memorable.
By the time Chat ‘Bout arrived at the bash, the dance was in full swing as I was able to see The Barbie Doll & Bashment Crew in full celebration mode; dancing, laughing, singing & chatting all night long.
In addition to the Bashment Crew and Barbie Doll Crew supporters, the usual suspects – New Horizon Curly Lox was on hand to bust a few dances on the dance floor. New Horizon selector Big Belly Monk spun some of the best old school tunes as he brought the crowd to the time with female anthem tunes to keep the bashment gals singing all night. The crowd got really hype as they sang along to the tune their favorite lines - "Me too rich to argue wid bitch...." (You know the rest!)
Not to be outdone, KC Platinum did the damn thing as he played some old school tunes that sent me in a time warp back to 1996 at the Cotton Club and KC Soundstation was the S*#&!!!! Whew! Okay, okay, I am back….
The hot fashions for the night? Of course, not ones to disappoint, The Bashment & Barbie Doll Crews represented well. It was all about pink and black with Toya Barbie in the black hoodie with pink “ B’s” complete with the ‘Barbie World’ ponytail and pink ribbon, Kiwi Bashment in the tie detail white blouse and hot pink shortsand we cannot go with out a mention of Brina Bashment’s black ensemble with the “RIP Nay Nay” airbrush design on the back! Very nice ladies!
Other dancehall celebs in attendance were always fresh Mr. GQ, Father B out to support the cause as well as promoting the RETURN of the Players Ball, May 3rrd! (just 2 weeks away!) Maggie Untouchable promoting her 10th Annual Army Wear Dance Memorial Day weekend, StarTemple Ricky Hype, First Class, Doe & Lil' Jon from 116th, Miss Trini &Crew Much respect and big up to Cynthia & Paul behind the bar. Also in attendance (after getting some rest from his HUGE birthnite affair) was The Diamond & Denim Don Hugh – or Huey as you call it! Yes, it’s the spring and the dances are heating up!
