I dragged two of my girlfriends out to Butter about a month ago hoping to find Leonardo Dicaprio there since I got first hand account from a friend who’d seen him there. Butter is apparently the hottest Monday night place in NYC right now. Celebrities like Leo, Shakira, Football players, hip hop producers, etc. etc. Oh and not to mention, every single model in the city! Me and my 5 foot 4 felt like a midget when I was there.
I got there after my bellydance class with BellyQueen across the street. while doing my make-up I even managed to get locked in the studio.
What I wore: black halter, with lots of silky ruffles in the front, and melt butter on your back low cut, liquid leggings, and silver heeled slingbacks. I mention this because after waiting around for about 30 mins, when the door guy (a skinny white guy in a worn in brown leather jacket and beany) came up, and after almost begging him, he looked me up and down, hair to heels, as well as my friends, before decididing that we were worthy of entering.
It was quite an experience just to go through that, as it was my first. Well, once we were in and checked our coats, we were lead through a hidden door in the wall to the club downstairs below the restaurant. The music was too ‘housey’ at first but as the place got packed around 12:45-1ish, it picked up to hip-hop (old school and new), rock, pop, and a bit of everything all mixed together and the spinning was awesome and seamless, even between Fall Out Boys and Kanye.
So, right before the club got super packed, I’m standing there, shyly holding my flute of champagne, trying to not look intimated by all the models, and I see Rob Schneider walk in, cross the room looking for people, and walk back out. He looked pretty much like this photo, just without the hat. I was hoping for Leo, but Rob totally made my night!
