Now I know some people may feel a particular way about our dear old annual celebration of independence, but you know what? I love a good fucking hotdog…. and a party.
Speaking of parties, the Dolls were invited to a legendary party in the Hollywood Hills. From what I was told, Bonnie Mckee hosts the most iconic Fourth of July party where an eclectic and sexy group of people gather just under the glorious Hollywood sign. After my experience, I can assure you, that she really does host the hottest Fourth of July party in Hollywood.
Now to remind you, Bonnie Mckee wrote the 2013 bop ‘American Girl’ and also wrote ‘California Girls’ sung by Katy Perry, ‘Dynamite’ sung by Taio Cruz, ‘Hold It Against Me’ by Britney Spears, plus many more of your childhood anthems.
The backyard was so crowded and there was barely any room to walk around so your only option was to really jump in the pool, which we did; also, I don’t know what was in those drinks but let me tell you they were good as hell.
The vibe was really amazing. There was no pretentiousness or shadiness. Everyone was really welcoming and loving towards one another; laughing and chatting, just having a good time. I love when people can come together and just enjoy a moment.
Love Bailey, Gigi Gorgeous, Trevi Moran, Aaron Fuller, D’ Mahdnes Lavaughn, Mel4Ever, and Larry Tee were a few names that made an appearance at the party.
I have to say, my favorite moment was towards the end of the night, watching Bonnie Mckee dance and sing along to ‘American Girl’ by her Jacuzzi that overlooked the Hollywood Reservoir. It was a truly surreal moment. I remember growing up and being in love with that song, and now there I was at her party and watching her dance along to it.
Bonnie, you show us all what it means to never give up. After much betrayal by the music industry, you didn’t cave in on yourself and turn your back away from music. Instead, you kept going and pushing despite the opposition of the current, and now you’ve found the recognition and blessings you truly deserve.
You are an inspiration Bonnie, thank you for the iconic anthems you have blessed us with, and thank you for allowing me to come to your fun-ass party.
Oh! And don't forget to stream her latest album Hot City!
The Doll Drama
I know you all live for a little drama, so here's the tea.
So one of the dolls had brought a man to the party, let's name him Sam. Sam was this Ex-pornstar who had turned into an aspiring beer-bellied alcoholic. He was nice at the beginning of the day but as the party went on and he sipped on some liquor he got a little handsy and aggressive with all the dolls. Despite our protests and our blatant rejection, he didn’t stop, in fact, he just got offended. At one point asked if he was our type, to which I responded that I like my men darker. Then he said ‘Doesn’t mean we can’t fool around, right?’ To which Venus and I said that that will never happen and that he better go find Love.
He would also get really jealous of any guy the dolls gave attention to. Chaser Carlos and Aaron Fuller in particular, despite both of them simply being friends of ours. For Example, the dolls were trying to help a very drunk Chaser Carlos out of the pool and while we were in the middle of doing that Sam kept getting in our way to comment on how much of a mess Carlos was. Carlos and I even fell back into the pool because he wouldn’t get the fuck out of our way.
Closer towards the end we kept attempting to take group photos that he kept measling his way into or blocking sunlight, or trying to direct Love or Aaron on how to take photos. Here is one of the photos he got himself into.
We left Sam at the party, and I can't help but wonder how much his Uber was….
Rumor has it he was also kicked out of the party and even Booed at one point. Why was he booed? Well, apparently he was asking gay men at the party if anyone wanted to use to restroom with him… Now we found this quite amusing considering he had an encounter earlier with a gay man where he said he wasn’t gay and then proceeded to say that he was turned on by what his gay man was wearing
I don’t know about you but a particular F word is coming to my mind right now.
After we left, we went up to the Hollywood sign to take some cute photos, and then we went back to the Doll Haus and cuddled in the backyard while watching the fireworks.
To my sisters, I love you all very much. Fuck any man who attempts to come between us.
