Hello world and welcome to Markus is the Drug. This week has been a crazy party week. So I've been a little slow pumping out the dish. Oops! So let me share with you some of the highlights in my week starting with Tuesday.
Ferras played an amazing show at the Viper Room. If you haven't heard Ferras' music yet I suggest you give his
MySpace page a visit. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.
WednesdayW Magazine Celebrates The Academy Awards at the Sunset Towers. This particular party was great because I ran into a lot of my New York crowd. It just seemed to be the perfect kick off to what was going to be a crazy fun Oscar week. Chateau Marmont was the last stop and for good reason. You didn't need to go anywhere else. Ample amounts of champagne and a chocolate fountain is all I need for a party. Oh yes and a lil
Karlifornia. Yes y'all I ran into my favorite MTV host Karli. Who busted some crazy Beyonce style dance move with
Adrian Grenier. ThursdayArt of Elysium party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This was my kind of party. 1940's Old Hollywood. The Stars went all out (and how could you not). Among my favorites were:
Demi Moore looking very old Hollywood Glam in this amazing
Roberto Cavalli gown
Kate Hudson in
Christian Dior a satin, off-the-shoulder gown but the hair I wasn't too crazy about;
Charlize Theron was breath taking in this sheer
Christian Dior gown with just a simple amount of jewelry...she looked Divine;
Rumer Willis, in what was my favorite dress of the evening, was wearing her favorite, J Mendel, and looked beautiful.
Some looks I really didn't care for though:
Rachel Zoe scares me and that's all I have to say about that;
Molly Sims let me down with this bad
Katy Rodriguez Dress;
Salma Hayek bored me with this
Alexander McQueen dress and a bad necklace, which I'm sure she only wore because it was free. That's all about that night. You're Welcome.
Friday Night This was my big hang out night with fellow hero... Shaaaannoooon. We went to Teddy's. Nothing too crazy and at this point my liver is like, not one more ounce to drink. Eeeks! Sorry liver.
SaturdayI really wanted to rest this night but my friend Director
Andrew Gallery called and said that he wanted to get a table at
Green Door I said OK well maybe one or two drinks. Ha Ha four bottles later and a quick last minute stop at Hyde turned into a headache for Markus in the morning.
Finally... Oscar SundayYes the big day was here but oh no, I really over did it the night before. So I knew the day was going to be rough. I sent out an SOS to Shannon who really turned out to be the hero of the day when she rescued me and took me to lunch at my favorite Joan's on Third. After a quick and much needed bite to eat I went back to bed for a quick re-coop session. 7:30,
Jared Craft texts "Chateau Marmont 8pm". I dash to my closet for a tuxedo jacket and a bow tie. Yes I'm ready! We didn't stay at the Chateau long because we quickly made our way over to the Mercedes-Benz Oscar party at the Four Seasons. That's where I bumped into, for like the 10th time this week, my new favorite New Yorker
Josh Katz.
You know where we went next. HYYYYYYYYYDE! I even tricked, I mean begged,
Katy P to come meet me and she did and then we did and we left to meet our very very good friend
Mia Moretti who was having a celebration of her own. Her birthday that is. It didn't take me long to realize I jumped on that party train about 45 minutes to late. Oops. Did someone say
Prince was having a Party? Yes Please! So off to what seemed like the Oregon Trail up to Prince's house. Now this was the party y'all. First
Stevie Wonder performed and then Prince. Hello it was Prince! This was really a special night. My mom tells this story about twenty years ago she went to see Prince in concert in Oakland and he threw his drumstick out in to the crowd and she caught it. He didn't throw his drum stick but he did throw and amazing party. Everyone was there...
P Diddy,
Jeremy Piven,
Orlando Bloom, Javier Bardem,
Rumer Willis,
Rosario Dawson and even the Hyde gatekeepers
Jen Rosero and
Pamela Francesca made it out to enjoy
Prince.
And now
Promises...
