Monday, March 25, 2002 DIANA ROSS’ KNOCKOUT BIRTHDAYin keeping with the theme of the party, boxing gloves were sent out as invitations. there was even a boxing ring set up between the malibu beach house and the pacific ocean. but the real knockout of the evening was seeing diana so happy and full of joy. all five of her children were there, as well as a hand full of her ex-lovers (a true sign of being cherished). it was a wonderful party ! i danced all night long and only stopped dancing to eat, meet or get hooked up to the oxygen bar provided on the back patio. rapper biz markie deejayed the bash with a mixture of old school r&b, paradise garage style dance music and current hip hop. i can honestly say that everyone there had a great time. there were two distinct highlights of the celebration, berry gordy and diana dancing “the bop” and stevie wonder singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY from his masterpiece album HOTTER THAN JULY. i grew up idolizing these people, and to some degree i still do. being there was a dream come true that i will never forget. also at the party were : gene simmons, shannon tweed, kevin costner, kareem abdul jabaar, jon voight, sherrie payne, brenda russell, bob mackie, desmond child, hugh hefner and his girlfriends, robert shapiro, suzanne de passe, dolores robinson, nona gaye, blair underwood, bob ellis, mario van peeples and pj jones. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
