And so, September 3, it will be then. Well, as they say, 'better late than never! Anyway, my daahlings, push has now come to shove, so it's make or break time for everyone. The proof of the pudding, however, will most definitely be in the eating, so for that, let's wait for September 4.

Then, my dears, if y'all missed this one, then you missed one of the hottest pre-hurricane dos. This one was so fierce, guests are still singing its praises, and luvs, with such warm accolades, it's causing those who missed it to go absolutely green with envy!

And it was none other than the farewell do hosted in appreciation of the European Union's First Secretary (Rural Development) Felice Zaccheo, two Fridays ago, in the fashionable golden triangle neighbourhood of upper St. Andrew.

My dears, it was one fine night out with the hotties, the fashionistas, the fabulous and the eligible all out and about and partying up a pre-hurricane storm, way into the early morning of Saturday. Honeys, so fierce was it that the buzz is, Kingston has not seen such a fabulous number!

And little wonder here, as notables included Kingsley Cooper and his belle, the absolutely fabulous Romae Gordon. Aslo in attendance were a bevy of his Pusle beauties and high-flying models plus, Deiwight Peters and a posse of his Saint International models. Though there is not much love lost between these two entities, y'all know we are talking more than major vibes and/or attitude here. In fact, while it was generally one fabulously hot do, my dears, the buzz is in these two camps, honeychiles, the chill was so thick, some bystanders suffered frostbite!

Anyway, sweet-things, it was all about saying goodbye to Felice Zaccheo, a young suave gentleman of Italian descent serving as a diplomat with the European Union, who, during his tenure here, served as first secretary in charge of rural development. He distinguished himself as a friend of the people of Jamaica, as well as quite the man about town.

And with noted musicologist DJ Archie spinning the hottest and latest discs, the mood on Seaview Avenue in the golden triangle was definitely a celebration of life, friends and the good times.
