Andre 3000 + Andre Saraiva = Andre $$$$
Belvedere IX Launch Party

Don't these two Andre's just make you want to be apart of their club? HA! (as 3000 would say) These Andre's from two Alien planets couldn't be more polar opposite and more similar at the same time!!! God I love my life.
Andre Saraiva the king of nightlife from France to Tokyo. I had my 25th birthday at his club Le Baron in Paris. That was the party that everyone from Daft Punk, Chloe Sevigny, Agnes B., Gaspar Noe, Michel Gondry, Gael Garcia Bernal to Elton John attended. Google him if you don't know who he is.
Both have been tested in their fields and have come out on top. Andre Saraiva, a little more obscure but well respected within my circle of friends, top artists, top musicians, luxury brands, and top fashion magazines around the world. He has slowly but surely conquered nightlife in ways that only others can dream of. He knows his history with art, he isn't just one person who sees something and judges on the superficial, he knows the history behind every little movement he makes. I appreciate a man, an artist like that.
Andre 3000 = God is always smiling down on that man, I swear. He will always be successful. Andre Benjamin GQ article.
J'adore Andre Saraiva!
J'taime Andre Benjamin!
Look out for a collaboration with Tiffany Limos, Larry Clark, and Andre Saraiva in the near future.
ANDRE SARAIVA WILL BE AT CLUB SUITE IN DALLAS THE WEEK OF SXSW. HE WILL BE DOING AN INSTALLATION. UFFIE WILL ALSO BE PERFORMING. MORE DETAILS ON THIS LATER WHEN I GET INFORMATION FROM THE OWNER AND DALLAS AMBASSADOR, MATTHEW GIESE.

The month of February... for me... (& memories!)
Has ushered in happiness disguised in sad tears.
My birthday was a true surprise this year. What happened to me, I never would have expected in a million years. HA! (As Andre 3000 would say.) I wasn't happy I will tell you that much but that situation did open a new door. Which was going to happen to me whether I wanted it to or not! Isn't that how life is sometimes?! Yeah.
I celebrated my 23rd birthday by moving to Los Angeles from New York, getting an apartment in Santa Monica and having Larry Clark shoot me for the cover of Rebel Magazine. A prestigious out of print magazine from France.
My 24th birthday was celebrated in Los Angeles. I remember being at the Standard Downtown... and than being in New York having dinner with Michel Gondry and Paul Gondry.
For my 25th birthday I was in Paris working with Michel on The Science of Sleep and we partied at Le Baron. Drinks on Agnes B. and everyone was there! Chloe Sevigny, Daft Punk, Elodie Bouchez, Pedro Winter, Gael Garcia Bernal, Gaspar Noe, my friend Gael Foucher, Michel Bernstein, Christophe Lemaire from Lacoste and Olivier Assayas met me the next day to take me to dinner for my birthday. Larry Clark and Spike Lee called to wish me well. It was a merry ole TIME! I rented The Dreamers by Bertolucci since Michel was letting me pick out something to rent since it was my birthday and he freaked out when I put the dvd in.... "Is this the kind of stuff you watch?!" He says that during the clip where Michael Pitt has Eva Green's photo on his penis! ha ha ha!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, I know Michael Pitt and I was there for his first audition for Larry Clark and when he got cast for the movie Bully so I was soooo not into that part but I still crack up thinking of Michel's reaction! ha ha ha.
My 26th birthday was great! I owe that to Sarajane Wilde, Dave Morrison, and Michel Gondry... and Sean Lennon.
I don't know who paid for the drinks and dinner at the Chateau Marmont but it was nice!!!!!!!!
I saw Andre 3000 for a coffee before-hand, he was off to get a massage. Fonzworth Bentley came with his two friends. I met this guy who was the lead singer to Autolux and I forget his name but he came. I met him at Meg from the White Stripes bday party. He was their opening act. Liv Tyler came with Victoria Clay and Tatiana Von Furstenberg and her husband. My assistant Nick Kerkhoff was there. Sean played on the piano and sang Benny and Jets and Money Mark played along. Scarlett Johansson was there in pajamas with Josh Hartnett... and I saw a girl I met from Sophia Rossi named Katherine there. Sam Spiegel was there and Steve Aoki came by to say hello. We were supposed to go to Cinespace afterwards but we all decided to go to Teddy's instead. I don't remember what happened after that though. I also remember laughing at Sean and telling him he was the funniest guy I know and he was like.. what about Fonzworth!? He has a lime green sweater on?!!!! ha ha ha ha
It was sort of surreal because I have one friend that is from Texas that is still alive that I talk to and she wasn't there. And I only have one neighborhood friend who is still alive that I talk to. Believe it or not, the rest are dead or in jail. Its sad. Its cool to have all these people at my birthday but its kind of weird since I did not grow up with them. But I guess I can't be complaining about my life.
When I turned 27... back track here... alright... when I was a kid my favorite director from the Philippines was Cirio H. Santiago, than it would be a tie between Eddie Romero and Lino Brocka. I realized that Cirio H. Santiago was one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite directors too! Quentin and I happen to be bosom buddies... and I heard from someone in New York that Cirio was in Los Angeles. I tracked him down like a bandit! I called Quentin squealing like a pig..... on his answering machine and what does he do? Calls me back squealing!!!!!!!!!!!! We both couldn't believe that THE Cirio H. Santiago was in LA! I arranged a meeting with him on MY birthday! Cirio wanted to meet at Nate-n-Al's! He told me it was an old Hollywood meeting place. I was the first to arrive and I was shaking all the way there. Ahhh lord... I was the only young person in the room... and it was so easy to spot him! And then a few moments later Quentin comes in with (I forget) something for Cirio to sign. Awe... I will never forget that birthday. Quentin was about to do press for his movie Death Proof and it was great that we got to meet our idol Cirio H. Santiago! Oh yeah, QT and TL's fav. Santiago flicks are The Muthers, Death Force, and Ebony, Ivory, and Jade!
When I turned 28, I was with my bestfriend Claudia Wu at the Coffee Shop in NY. I was a hostess there when I was a teenager, when I stopped modeling. The next day we met up with Andre 3000 at The Grammercy Hotel in some private area to celebrate. Than later we were joined by Damon Dash, Irina, Margarita Missoni, and Erin Fethersen... (not sure if these names are spelled right... I will check later.) That was fun because Andre never ever goes out and to see him was like seeing a fictional character come to life!
29.
The great age.
The last year I will be in my twenties!
I am going to live everyday like its my last.
I am going to just go for it. (So should you!)
I lost my wallet and you can't rent a car or stay at a nice hotel without a credit card! I had loads of cash on me but that didn't matter one bit. I didn't worry about it though but that sort of stressed me out. Mitchell Gutman and I had food and drinks at this Thai restaurant called Toi. I always wanted to go there because Quentin told me that he used to write in there for hours and I wanted to see what this place was all about. It lived up to its promise and I saw that the Pulp Fiction poster was strategically positioned next to a Godard poster of Anna Karina... I know why. Do you? I will post the photo I took of it on this blog later. Than I went to Hyde to meet up with Yacine. Than to the Chateau Marmont for the sake of it and old memories... and Yacine, Mitchell, Yorgan, and I had a really nice time. Yacine and Yorgan left. Mitchell and I went to some bar in Silverlake and it smelled like vomit! I don't know the name of the place. HA!
I put medicine on my face and it burned my skin! There were two burn marks on my face. And scar marks from when I was sick! That was not good. It should have been the Omen for the night. I got dressed in my vintage white embroidered mini dress and wore black wedges. I ate Thai food, went to Happy Endings (which I thought was like the New York version but its not, its more like a frat bar.), and than called it a night.
My life changed that night though for many reasons.
My last year of my twenties, nothing is going to get me down.
I love it!
I love life.
Yippie!
So that is what happened. I know I didn't write about my birthday but I have been traveling all over the world in a short span of time and I haven't been able to blog. Just dealing with alot of things too. Upset with alot of things too! But in the end, Happy.
So now. After the Grammys! I had to leave town. In LA they did have the Cirio H. Santiago Tribute at the New Beverly Cinema on the 10th! Man I was kicking myself for not attending that but Brian from the theater just emailed me and told me that they might have another one in a few months. Quentin and I will be attending that one for certain!
So what did you do for Valentine's Day?
I felt sleepy!
I had a great Valentines.
OH yeah! Me Magazine's newest issue is out now!
I will blog about that later.
Now I am tired of writing here.
Gotta go.
PEACE!

Counting down the days...
My last days as a 28 year old!
What was my year like? GREAT!
Claudia and I went to the Coffee Shop for my birthday dinner and I just ended up texting Andre during the whole dinner. Then we ended up going to The Grammercy Hotel to hang with him and Damon Dash shows up with Margarita Missioni, Irina, Erin (I forget her lastname), just all these people...
February was a blur last year, just fashion week and wait, Claudia and I spent a great deal of 2008 working on Me Magazine. I didn't leave New York until APRIL! That's insane. Then I went back home to chill with my Texas homies and then headed to Asia.
By this time Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger have passed away.
Work-wise, Winter/Spring Larry and I worked together.
During the summer, still working. Writing is so tedious! The real test of patience.
While I was in Texas I hung out with the homies Play-n-Skillz. I went to my first Lil Wayne concert and died. Everyone knows I am one of Lil Wayne's biggest fans! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, Skillz played that song, GOT MONEY, for me before it was mastered and he was like just remember you heard it here first. And when that song got on the album I was like HOLY SHIT ... NAH, BEFORE IT WAS ON THE ALBUM THE SONG WAS ON FIRE... BUT YA'LL KNOW SKILLZ IS THE MAN. He is the mastermind behind alot of those beats, for all of you who know about music and Southern hiphop! I also hung out with Boog and Pilar, two of my bestest friends in the whole wide world!
Spike Lee invited me to the premiere of his film, Miracle at St. Anna, and I went to it in Los Angeles. Teodorín Nguema Obiang was there with me. I ended up hanging out with my friend Asa and never left her crib in Venice! We ended up making alot of cool art together and I spent all my time on the WEST coast. I hung out with DOC and Nu Jerzey Devil... and tons of others I hadn't seen like my good friend Dion Watkins.
I voted in Los Angeles.
I celebrated Halloween in Los Angeles.
I celebrated the Election in Los Angeles.
And I met Yacine who was pretty cool.
Oh yeah! I saw all my French homies in Los Angeles that night as well. Ed Bangers.
Than I was back in Dallas to see a DJ Z-Trip show at The House of Blues with my friend Matthew Giese, he owns Suite Club in Dallas. I don't know what else I did, Oh Yeah... hit up DG's!!! LMAO!
Right now, Winter, I am embarking on the final 2 drafts! This will take time. I just got off the phone with Claudia and she said that she couldn't do that, she would go crazy. Its pretty crazy to do rewrites and spend your days working on a subject you have been writing about for the last 7 years. Well its almost done. The hard work will be all worth it.
Well here is the countdown of my final days being 28!!!!!!!!!!
