Bonne annee 2006!!!

My friends Melanie, Ileana and I decided to drive to NYC to celebrate the NYE! We were lucky enough to stay at a friend of a friend's (!) apartment in the West Village (thanks Magali and Scott!)!

We started by a day of shopping (of course!). Shoes were 70% off at Marc Jacobs so that was a good start for Ileana. On the 31st, we went to see a musical (Hairspray). It was my 10th trip to NYC and my first musical on Broadway. It was about time to do this classic touristy activity! It was fun!

After some champagne drinking at the apartment, the celebration began at Markt in the Meat Packing District. Good meal, nice staff (Johnny '69' Depp) but too much air conditioning! Around 12:30, we moved to a loft party, still on 14th street where Rex the Dog was playing. It's a shame but we did not know Rex the Dog before and we literally fell in love! His set was MIND BLOWING!!! Ileana and I did not stop dancing one second while he was on. It's been a very long time that I did not enjoy a DJ set that much. Bravo!!! He finished his set with 'Respectable' that you can hear in this 5 minutes minimix:

The beats, the hands in the air, the smiles...It was a magic moment that I'll always remember...And yes, on top of that, Rex is damn sexy.If you want to check him out:
