I could not believe my eyes recently when I went to the star-studded basketball series “The League” and saw Justin & Hailey Bieber, Machine Gun Kelly, and Ryan Garcia just hanging out courtside watching a basketball match. The venue was filled with athletes, entertainers, influencers, rappers, you name it, they were all there. I also met some very interesting talents that are not on the A list but they are on their way up and were able to mix with all the A list talent. Now where can you find a venue like that in today’s entertainment industry? Well, I am “Only Josie Knows” and here to tell you how to.
The League is founded by Ron Abaekobe and (Surgeon Studios). I had an interview with Allen Gharakhani who is the Head of hospitality and let me tell you, that this is a man that you want to know and that can help push your brand and vision forward to the A list. Allen works with various brands, talent, athletes, celebrities and through sporting events can execute and have some fun along the way VIP Style.
Jonathan Buckridge is the founder of Repbets which is now Loyal links and is the powered tickets that one needs to purchase. Trust me, it is very easy to use as I did it many times and had no problems.
Meme House Productions is the production company behind the event. From dynamic visuals to in-game entertainment. Meme House transformed The Surgeon into more than a venue, rather it became a cultural stage where basketball meets performances.
“Only Josie Knows” League Experience… First, the pull up was easy. Going downtown can be annoying when looking for parking, but the complimentary Valet Parking made such a huge difference but of course we tip generously.
I was impressed by the “Oak Berry” Acai Bowls that were handed to guests. The Brazilian Acai gave me a natural boost of energy to mix & mingle with all the handsome men I saw (if you know what I mean). Then after a couple shots of Tequila, Pappis Pizza was there to soothe my stomach and sober me up to get me home.
Check out my videos for some of the interesting people I met.
If you’re a fan of Love and Hip-Hop Los Angeles, you will defiantly know “Hazel E” government name Arica Adams. Hazel E hosted a fabulous, I mean fabulous POP-UP gifting suite Pre-Emmys at the Lash Plug on Melrose in Los Angeles that was produced by Top of the Line Pr. Although the gifts, food and beverages were splendid, what made this event special was the positiveness of women’s empowerment toward one another. Although Hazel E was the belle of the ball, she empowered all different types of women in size, color, race and or beliefs. You could feel Hazel’s energy, and it was amazing how various talents elevated.
Everyone there was about uniting all who came, and the vibe was “There is enough for everyone to eat” That is a rarity when you bring all kinds of beautiful woman together as we all know. The Hollywood Times got an exclusive interview with Hazel E, where I asked her about her professional life, love life and what the future holds for her. I can tell you Hazel is a good woman, not because she is successful, pretty, hardworking but because she accepts all who come to her space with class, openness and in today’s world that is rarity. Hazel E said she wants to bring back the pinosh to Hollywood and get things back to how they used to be. Women entertainers want back the various tv shows in production, the glamour, the romances with high powered men, single men not married (lol), and just being able to be entertainers minus all the separations of BS in our society… that push us all apart and set woman back daily. We all include myself want all females to win, not just on a solo level. Hazel created Girl Code.
Watch my interview and see how Hazel E responded to “Only Josie Knows”
There were some high-profile SINGLE men in the building, and I was able to get some interviews with an NBA player (Craig Smith AKA Blackrhino83,) and see if he is ready to mingle.
The Rapper from The Group “Cali Swag District” taught me how to do the “Dougie” The Name is Yung. I asked Yung do woman need to know how to move to date you. Listen to his answer. Yung, also taught me “How to Dougie”
I also always wanted to know, do woman wear underwear when they put on these designer gowns and dresses for awards shows? I am always contemplating, so I asked Fashion Designer and Owner of “Stand Sexy” Ninfa Perez her opinion.
I am “Only Josie Knows” and I know life can be so hard, brutal, and unfair especially for female entertainers, but with all of us learning how to empower one another we can all win and strive for better which is the only way to go. Hazel E’s Pop-Up produced by Top of the The Line PR gave me hope and encouragement. Do you think woman can stick to “Girl Code”?
See you soon at “The League “and many more “Top of the Line Pr” Events
