It started out on Thursday… John (my assistant) and I had started to prepare for Britney’s Party early. We were going to meet up to go shopping and as I’m on the way to meet him I get a call. “Hey, Fe is at this store that I’m at right now!” So he says hi to her and she tells him what she had been up to, Christmas shopping and such, and by the time I got anywhere close to where they were she was already gone. So John and I meet up afterwards and he told me about how nice she was again and that she had remembered him from last Friday. So we continued to shop around Soho we went to some of Brit’s favorite places – like The Patricia Field store, Dolce&Gabana, and Anthropologie. On the way home we passed Bryan’s apartment and I had happened to have the pics of him and I from Friday with me so I decided to write him a little note and leave the pics with his doorman… (I wasn’t sure if the package would actually get to him, but I found out on Saturday night that it did)

So Friday rolls around and I am still trying to find what I am going to wear to this party!! So we go back to the east village and as we pass by Bry’s place (it’s right by all the best shops and eateries!) We see one of Brit’s SUVs outside, and the driver happened to be the guy I knew! So we went up and chatted with him for a bit, he said he was waiting for someone and a few minutes later Big Rob came out the door. They said goodbye and drove away… How weird?! We kept running into these people! So Saturday finally came around, it felt like it took years, but it was here! I pick out a super “Britney-esk “outfit and John arrives around 9ish we heard that the party had started early so we went to check it out.

The party was held at Tanda a very chic and very beautiful restaurant on the east side on Park Ave. We arrived and the doorman said that the party had not started yet So john and I decided to go get some drinks and wait to make our appearance until the party picked up a bit. So we went to the restaurant where we met Brit the week before and had a drink, then we took a hop skip and a jump over to Nyla – now, “The Restaurant” at the Dylan, and had another drink. A group of girls were having a party there and as I walked in Big C, my big rob looking friend, escorted me in… They all gasp! They of course thought I was Britney. They asked their waiter to ask me to take some pics with them and so I did! It was so fun being there and getting that reaction again. So around 11ish we decide to head back to Tanda!

Wow, what a night! We met Natalie Portman and Benjamin Bratt. Dan Aykroyd was there with his family, and Zoë Saldana was there too! (what a sweetie!!) Bryan, Fe, Mr. Jamie, and even Lynne had flown in from Louisiana to be here! There were a lot of Kentwood natives there tonight, friends and family that Brit had flown in, and even people that worked on her tour! We got pics with a lot of people but Brit was pretty inaccessible because of the crowd.

We talked to Zoë for a while though about her new movie “Drumline” and how she’s been! And we also stopped to chat with Fe for a few minutes, the drivers and bodyguards were nice as always and we met one her stylists, Bart!

The gift bags given out at the party were really great too! The white bag was filled with lotions and perfumes; let’s see… there is a little Hard Candy nail polish kit, some “Bibo” products – like a cleansing lotion and sunless tanner, and some Quel amour perfume (kinda flowery and sweet) and so much more!

Later after the party, we were invited to go hang out with Bryan and his friends at a bar in the West Village close to my place, we had a drink and chatted with him and his fiancé and some of the other people who we had met at the party- one of the girls who knows Brit very well told us that Brit is recording in New York and it’s going great and that she is really loving the new sound she’s got going on, she also said Brit will be home for a few days at Christmas but will be right back up to NY to continue recording.

So after all that craziness we finally decided it was time to head home around 3:30! Man, those Spears sure know how to party!! Can’t wait till my next adventure with Bry, Brit and the gang!
