My body forced me to make a pit stop at my own personal cooling center, so I only caught the tail end of New Edition’s breakout side bar stars BBD’s visit to Boogie Nights after the show. But I will tell you that DJ Kut was killing it on the tables and BBD gave me a Peaches Records flashback by the way they patiently took photos with every single soul that stopped through and stood in line. I was thrilled by the way they took it back to an in-store meet and greet with their level of graciousness towards the fans. I also got a chance to chop it up with some of my faves from the Radio One St. Louis fam while I was there too. I don’t know if these were strays from the slot machine, but I noticed way more co-stars of “When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People” than I ever remember from the concert – particularly the poor thing with the lonely clip on cornrow and church usher pumps. Nobody seemed to mind the fashion faux paus, because they were too busy fish bowling BBD.
