Last week in Charleston: Paradise now in classic high society comforting decor. An affair to remember, experiencing a new level of luxury and service at High Cotton fine dining restaurant owned by the Marverick Group — an array of southern restaurants and a teaching kitchen/cooking retail shop sharing distinctive culinary experiences that celebrate Southern culture. I snacked on the sauteed golden tilefish topped with crispy sweet potates, littleneck clams, swiss chard, and fennel cream. While my good friend Lindsay enjoyed her pan roasted snapper.
High Cotton; High steppin’ Lowcountry food and fine dining. It’s a feeling of warmth and celebration that begins the moment you step inside. You’ll find it in our gracious, knowledgeable servers, expertly prepared dishes and a remarkable wine and cocktail program. Make a reservation for the fine dining rooms known as “French Quarter Room” and “East Bay Room” or first-come, first-served in the bar/lounge with live entertainment after 6pm. http://www.mavericksouthernkitchens.com/highcotton/charleston/

High stepping in velvet slippers to see a 1500 year old tree towering over 65 feet high? Reportedly the oldest thing — living or man-made — east of the Rockies, Angel Oak is a live oak tree aged approximately 1,500 years. Some locals simply call it The Tree. It stands in a wooded area along Bohicket Road of John’s Island outside Charleston, South Carolina. You won’t find a lot of stuff like tee shirt shacks around there, because basically the attraction is a single tree standing in a park. So keep an eye out for signs and drive slowly. –>Inside Story
WHISKEY PARK W HOTEL MIDTOWN: Friday night, Phifer was seen partying and later leaving the posh W Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. He wore his fur shoulder sweater and black jean with Jordan sneakers. He was accompanied by his close friends a female entourage.
Press REC and film me. Check it. Like JET magazine. This is my mack daddie vibe I am giving you. In all its splendor. What you think about a boy like me: I am my #1 priority; no falling inlove no commentiment from me. Friday night we won. Phifer; the muse of much top-notch entertainment, perfectly packaged into chic lifestylin and green living. This is the Dynasty AUC era–young with wealthy educations. SpelHouse has arrived at last, and we give off a gilded glare. In the words of Uncle Jay “Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.” –So this shouldn’t come as shocking news: Phifer got ridiculously maximal, blowing past all the rules of being Phifer. This is the return of luxury furs and penthouse homes. As we partied dressed like our true inner feelings. Atlanta was such a casual city, until we introduced elegance to sexy. No-no, Phifer is not your lover–I’m not your friend; I am something every taste maker can comprehend; I–will–pose–for–you. We can pose until the crack of dawn; you’ll read our tweets and get into our Instagrams–a life worth living. And I live. –>Inside Story

A.CHAL – Roses on Your Silhouette. Underground DJ/producer A.Chal has been of mystique throughout his music career. An obscure figure far from hubris, he plays the background while letting the music speak volumes. That said, his role as a music producer has garnered high praise amongst his peers, more recently with fashion house Ralph Lauren where he’s been active as music director in past campaigns. Today, he shares with us an embodiment of all things experienced formed into one “video single” to give viewers an added effect. via source

CHEF’S TABLE: Last night, Phifer was seen eating and later leaving the posh Einstein’s Metrotainment Cafe in Atlanta. He wore his favorite blacked out Grey Ant Status shades, sheep skin fur and leather sleeved jacket.
We need more, don’t we? Oh. This is- This might be- what do you think of…executive chef Adam Maddox? Clap-clap bravo, dinner was superb at Einstein’s. Oh, please… it’s just- I don’t know- judging from the sound of orders, business is booming. Einstein’s is a nifty venue–it is a trendy spot with very chic decor and dance music fills the place with energy; it is a place the “midtowners” can easily walk to on their way to a concert or Piedmont Park. Einstein’s combines a world-class outdoor patio with a sophisticated bar stocked with Heineken, and interior dining for the most unique space in Atlanta. Inside luxe décor creates a casual, modish atmosphere, highlighted by stylish lighting and rich wood trim. Outside, a large tree-shaded patio beckons, earning Einstein’s the most votes as “Best Outdoor Dining Experience” year after year. The food–one word: magnifique. The menu here is beyond flavorful (the fried okra is the best of all time) which topped this dinner off, No-no this isn’t a question. R.S.V.P. yes to Einstein’s.

HOUSEKEEPING REPORT: The Limited Edition Haze x Heineken Draught Glasses. The set serves as a blank canvas for Haze to showcase his original art, The Imperfect Star.
A package from Team Epiphany arrived at the door of Phifer’s Penthouse (lol, he is obsessed with living a king-size life). Everybody knows there is nothing more important than dressing up your home, apartment, suite, dorm room, or studio–it’s all about your cultured taste, –exclusively done. What better way to add to my cabinetry than with the Limited Edition HAZE x Heineken Draught Glasses (numbered and hand signed by iconic street artist Eric Haze). A glass with many of causes. The glass itself is designed to showcase Heineken draught beer. The shape of the glass, the oval guide and the laser etched nucleation point on the bottom all accentuate the flavor and experience of a perfect pour. The set serves as a blank canvas for Haze to showcase his original art, The Imperfect Star. The glasses come in a pack which includes: two custom/laser etched glasses, and an original signed and hand numbered print by Haze. The package is limited to 500 sets; 250 sets for friends and family, while another 250 sets will be given away as a part of the Heineken Klout Perks program during 2012.
Heineken is more than just the green bottle!

Greater Than. Inches taller, tonight we do it for Kodak at Trio Club and Lounge — a Downtown Charleston hotspot that caters to an anxious after-work crowd. Once the drinks start coming, the ties start getting loose. Downstairs you’ll enjoy a mature crowd with live sounds from Quiana Parler & Friends, South Carolina’s musical elite, featuring an extremely diverse musical history of the past 50 years. Parler’s reditions are a fresh spin on the after-hours celebration. While DJs frequent the upstairs club and dance party scene. Dare if you’ve got moves like Jagger. Now go to sleep baby.

Visual art to make you groove on this beautiful afternoon. Or not so beautiful depending on your location. What you’re watching below is a live remix/cover of Lana Del Rey’s Video Games by MeLo-X — a sonic creator. Incorporating kaleidoscopic influences from Eminem to Nirvana, from Picasso to Moses, from the sweet scent of Jamaican mango trees to the pungent stenches of dark New York City corners – this Brooklyn native fuses together vibrations of soul, electronic hip hop, old school reggae and new school basement party. MeLo-X will be releasing his first full length instrumental album titled “Fewture” on 1/31/12. Pre-orders available at http://meloxtra.bandcamp.com
