Recap: The Art of Seduction | Z Square

I was really looking forward to going to the Art of Seduction at Z Square (14 JFK St Harvard Square, Cambridge)
as I had missed the first Restless Entertainment event. Now as you know I have been to Z Square several times, but this time things were a little different.

When I got downstairs I realized there was no need to stress about the dress code. As long as you wore something with white in it (or not)...they let you in - which kinda ruined the whole white only atmosphere, next time I'll take the dress code as a suggestion. A sincere apology for stressin' out my girls :), you looked beautiful (as always).

The place was a lot less crowded than I thought it would be, it was a little bit older crowd, 25+ (heavy on the +) who oddly all seemed to know one another, but that was cool.

In the main dance area they had transformed Z Square a bit, in the far wall of the dance floor they had separated the area with a slide show of photography playing on the wall in the massage station area. I didn't end up getting a massage, but it gave Z Square more of a club ambiance which was nice.

At the bar it was slow as usual, even with less people. One of the female bartenders still had issues making a drink - ie: My girl asked for a mojito and she gave her a Pinot Grigio...I understand that it was loud, but still...

I caught up with Greg? (I thought he said Ray - eh - maybe MY hearing needed to be checked :)) the "Dude with the Dreds" at the DJ Geespin Birthday Party who wouldn't let me buy him a drink last week. As a Fab! Fan he asked me to explain to y'all that the reason that he didn't let me buy him a drink was 1) Not every good deed deserves a reward, it was just the right thing to do to let me go first. 2) He was getting a bunch of drinks and didn't want me to have to pay for all of them. Otherwise he would have happily excepted. Okay Greg-Ray...you are excused! But all you other dudes are still corny :)

Back to the party - around 11:30 they served the food and I had come hungry, so I was really excited. Your girl LOVES to eat by the way. Anyways...thanks for lookin' out for the vegetarians Marlene :) There was hummus, hot pita bread, kilamata olives, chocolate covered strawberries (those went first), bread, smoked cheese, brie and fresh fruit....it was all soooo good! Yummmm.

I never did see how the party was sponsored by Malibu...they said that there would be free drinks being passed, but I never got mines...I guess I was too busy dancing.

As for the ratio...the women def. ran the floor, but that's typical of white parties. But the dudes that were there were straight posted! We are not dancing for your entertainment men...get on the floor or stay at the bar - it was just too voyeuristic for my taste. And when this real nice, cute girl asked this dude to dance and he straight up was like "no" I was too done with the guys. Y'alls was trippin'!! Man up!

DJ Geespin was tryin' to help the dudes out so there was really no excuse. He was laying the old tracks down!! Me and my girls were pullin' out some old dance moves...okay so I wasn't up to snuff on all of them, but I was workin' up a serious sweat...like drippin' down the face onto your shirt kinda sweat. I'm almost glad they didn't have more people in there or else I might be writing this recap from the ICU. It was sooo hot!

But hey, like I say, if they ain't movin' it probably wasn't a good party. Towards the end Geespin started cutting off songs a bit and numerous reggae transitions could have been smoother, but overall I really liked his set. And I'm convinced all DJ's should end with slow jams :)

The Art of Seduction really delivered a nice atmosphere, delicious food and great opportunity for the ladies to run the floor ;)

I give this party a B+

Hope I'm able to make the next one!

Stay Fab! :)
