NFL Draft Kick-Off

 Launch of two new flavors by Stoli, Hot & Stiki

Esquire Magazine NFL Draft Kick-Off Event at Bounce Sporting Club with Guest DJ, Q-Tip

 Ramses Bardon's NFL Football & Fashion Night at Butter, NYC

 Grey Goose Cherry Noir Drinks

This weekend was filled with events to kick-off, celebrate, and usher in the new class for the  2012 NFL Draft. Between the Esquire Magazine party at Bounce Sporting Club, which featured guest DJ-ing by Q-Tip and launched two new flavors of Stoli vodkas, the NY Giants' wide receiver Ramses Barden's Football and Fashion Night at Butter, which introduced Grey Goose's Cherry Noir vodka, and Pittsburgh Steelers' Brandon Lindsey's party, also at Butter, the entire weekend was as much about the sport of football as it was about food, drinks, and of course, fashion.  

Big Thanks to Danielle Thur of EFGPR, Paven of Open Source Fashion, and Nickie Robinson of Good Girl PR for the invitations to these events!

Hosted by 2012 Super Bowl Champion Giants' General Manager's (Jerry Reese) wife, Gwen Reese, and fashion stylist/NFL-wife (to former player, Ike Reese), Renee Reese, not to mention a couple of New York players, Jets tight-end Dustin Keller and Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora, the night was a blast and total success. Music by renowned female spinster, DJ KISS, as well as complimentary wine, manicures, and massages never hurt either...
