Mambo Sauce at the Icon
The Icon, 2106 Crain Hwy, Waldorf, MD 20601



I drove through a massive storm to get to the Icon - I saw a lot of lightning, but heard no thunder.

Junior, the sound man, was outside and said hello.

A hot woman was in line in front of me, it turned out she was one of the Glamour Girls, a group of calendar models.

I talked with Twink.

II Face was the MC for the evening.

Duchess Nicole
She rapped over a track, performing her originals: You Miss Me, Hey Mister, Calling in Sick Today.
She didn't move me: partly because she performed over a track which came out of different speakers than her vocals, but her vocal style as well.

The Glamour Girls went onstage

The woman on the far right is the one I walked in behind

J Rome
His music was what Red called "Contemporary R&B", but too me, it was awful pansy music. After he started performing, he was 2 male dancers wearing matching outfits - blue jeans, white shirts with black vests, they danced in synch (one of them was Vernell Benton). Later, they were joined by 3 female (very beautiful with nice abs) dancers - I believe they were: Amina, Jazz, and Crystal.
