🪩 Dallas Creatives House Party 🪅

What is up, you guys? It's your local 365 Party Girl.

It's been a year since my last creatives house party (our birthdays, since so many people were born within August), but 2 years back to back at The Halliwell Outpost, now with the same people, and even a few more.

Some people say "no new friends", but for me, I want to make friends everywhere I go, and I think our attendees can attest to that 😅

What started out as a BBQ for 6-10, quickly turned into a 30+ party full of Dallas artists.

Everyone does something, from singing, dancing, DJ-ing, photography, to content creation & styling. A house full of photographers...but half the photos are blurry lol, but one benefit of a house of photographers.. there's always someone willing to take a photo 😇 These are the fruits of my camera being passed around a party.

Say "thank you, t3i!" 💕 

Here's a Monday night with the Dallas Creative Community

The girlie pops! Lani and Kat left early, but they're with us in spirit.

Some of the others having their own photoshoot lol

I was wearing something a little nicer, but danced and moved so much...I had to change lol,
but of course the girl on the worst time constraint shows all the way out. Came with baby in tow,
straight from work, but still managed to find flowers and this huge balloon lol!
Thankful for you, Lani, always 💕

Ended up hosting a backyard rave🫣
Pretty on-brand for Oak Cliff imo 😂 Ernie surprised us with a desi set,
and Jordan was spinning Filipino beats towards the end of the night, ft. Jerry & Kat.

Rutabz's friend, Rutabz, Lucy, Zaah, Eli, Dinesh, Ernie, Shivam, DM, Cory, Andrew, Eve, and Sam in that order lol

Additionally, it was also Crystal's birthday. I've told this story this many times, but as my first friend in Texas, I'm more than grateful to see all the phases we have gone through in our time together here in Dallas.

Thank you God, for letting us be happy with our natural eyes and for the glow ups lol

LAPSE DUMP:

💕Me + Sarah before she left💕
Thank you for making time after work to stop by with Emjay,
here's to another year of the Ninang + Empress duo🌟

Jordan doing his thing

Winding down with game night

Meanwhile, Christina.....

In Conclusion:

SPECIAL shoutout to those that came early and helped out. I am blessed to be in a time in my life, where maybe I plan everything, but my besties step up to co-host.
I want to especially shout out Jordan, Eve, and Ernie for coming early, setting up, and directing guests. Oh, and Jordan, THANK YOU FOR GRILLING!!!! I wouldn't be able to shower and do my makeup 1 hour into the party if it wasn't for you guys🌸

IF YOU DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PARTY, I AM REQUESTING YOU SEND A $ DONATION OF YOUR CHOICE TO ONE OF THESE NON-PROFITS.

May blessings shower all of us and may this year be prosperous for myself and all of those that I love. Ameen💕
