The G-List Society had the greatest time reveling among friends, notables and beautiful people in our community at the 2nd Annual Gentlemen’s Ball over the weekend in Atlanta.  Gee Smalls and Juan Session at G.SPOT Productions, along with their very attentive staff, executed a remarkable black-tie event where hundreds of men and women in Atlanta (in addition to those who traveled from NYC, DC, Philly, Chicago, etc.) dined over a three-course meal and enjoyed live music and fun times all in the spirit of charity.  AID Atlanta was the organizational recipient of this charitable gala.

TV personality Eva Marcille served as the celebrity hostess of the event where she read a beautiful ode to gentlemen. Event hosts Gee Smalls and Juan Session closed the award ceremony portion of the Ball with an endearing dedication to each that touched hundreds of onlookers in the audience. Powerhouse vocalist Frenchie Davis rendered a show-stopping rendition of “I Am Changing” to end the festivities which was met with a thunderous applause.

Check out our fun-filled video below where hundreds and hundreds of women and men dined, danced and enjoyed the company of one another in ambiance of celebrating our community.  You may notice a handful of familiar faces including Lonnell Williams (3LWTV), Damien Crawford, Maurice Jamal (“Friends & Lovers”), Rafer Singleton Johnson, Miss Lawrence “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, Anthony Antoine, Kevin Simmons (“The Skorpion Show”), Laurence Pickeney, Neko Bunch, Kidd Dupree, Paisley Jackson, Rod Watkins, Tommy Bennett, Rameses Frederick (Urban Socialites) and others.

The G-List Society joined over 200 celebrators at the illustrious U.S. Presidential Inaugural celebration at the Warren Huntley hosted “En Cirque Noir: Inaugural 2013 Celebration” inside Washington DC’s lofty Lost Society lounge.  The exclusive affair drew many notables and personalities in the LGBT community from all over the U.S. and allies.

The snazzy affair contained a live band, of its singer whom we caught singing a stirring rendition of Tamar Braxton’s “Love & War,” champagne toasts, two floors of mingling and dancing and friends celebrating in the spirit of American progression.

We were very fortunate to run into the likes of Nathan Hale Williams, Reese Brown, J.R. Rolley, Jai Laurence, J. Omar Tutler, Antar Wright and Neko Bunch.  As always, it was great to chum it up with these great people.

We got great scoop in the midst of our mingling.  Fresh from a breath-taking trip in Dominican Republic, travel guru/philanthropist Laurence Pinckney gushed about a trip he is looking to host there.  We saw photos of the dwelling out there, and those photos look like the kind of paradise we would love to luxuriate.  Pop singer Marck Angel was excited to announce his new single right before he leaked the single’s cover.  We look forward to playing the follow-up to his smash hit and music video “Deep.”  We even had a nice discussion about how much the LGBT music scene has progressed in recent years.  Veteran R&B crooner Anthony Antoine revealed to us that a new single and music video is on the horizon.  ”Finding Me” web series producer Jared Paul Shuler announced new episodes and an impending relationship with us at The G-List Society. That is awesome news.  Isn’t it?

Enough talk about all the excitement in the gala.  Check out the photos for yourself.

I joined the Instagram craze in May 2012 trying to figure out how I will stay on top of all these social media outlets at once to keep in touch with friends, family and The G-List Society supporters.  In no time, I became hooked to showing off the vacations, delectable dishes, celebrity run-ins, local excursions and good times with friends to the few hundred people that follow me on Instagram.  I also enjoyed perusing through my friend’s and Instagram followers’ galleries too.

Here are some of my favorite captured moments, in chronological order, via Instagram throughout 2012.  Some of these moments were shared with friends including Lonnell Williams, Laban King and Devin Norwood. I was also glad to receive well-wishes from notable LGBT personalities including Anthony Antoine, D.J. Baker, Eric E. Jones, Gyant, Marck Angel, Rita Lee and Q. Hudson.  Read the captions on the side of each photos to understand the experience I embraced during those moments.
