Hey Guys!
So last night I headed downtown to Charles street to celebrate Alicia Keys’ birthday along with Swizz Beatz, Gayle King, and more:

The party had an Egyptian theme (inspired by their son, Egypt), and many people were wearing turbans, belly dancing, and drinking African themed drinks.

I was mid belly dance when I saw Beyonce and Jay-Z walk in. Yes, I know!! My friend forbade me from acting like a ‘groupie’ and taking a picture with them, though I did shake their hands towards the end (and snuck a picture of them enjoying Alicia’s red velvet cupcakes.)

Beyonce looked fresh and gorgeous, and Jay-Z was super nice. I told him how much I loved Decoded, and he was appreciative. It was a fun night!

More instances from Claire’s Life to come.
Smootches!
* Fun fact. Alicia’s mom took the first picture. She was so cute!

  8. Your life is the bomb.com, no pun intended! I love both Jay-Z and Beyonce, but seriously can’t get down with A. Keys like I used to. Can I be your apprentice? For real and not for play!

  9. Sounds like a fabulous time!!! Now to a fashion question….Alicia’s dress? Who designed it etc. It’s fabulous.

  11. Alicia Keys is so gorgeous. I would have been so happy to take a pic with her on her birthday. Love her.

  12. Love the photos!!!

    Claire…I also think you should start watermarking your pictures before other blogs start stealing them and claim them as their own…..

    we all know how MTO is!

  13. @the truth, I saw Beyonce (and the rest of D3) in an airport years ago. She was in flats and appeared to be between 5’4″ and 5’6″. So basically average girl height ;)

  14. Wow Claire!! Great pics! Alicia is a natural beauty and yall pic is GORGE!! love fresh faces:) wish i was there..even serving drinks would hv been nice. lol

  16. I am HUGE Alicia Keys and Beyonce fan, so the fact that you got to meet Alicia and see Beyonce. If that were me, I don’t think I would have been able to contain myself. Great going Claire, always the professional.
