The day and the life...

Welcome to the day (night) and life of Deejay Neekola. This is just the beginning of many trails of words to follow behind her every move. I am the go-between, the spy, and will be your advocate (as in if you have any thoughts, suggestions, questions or comments, I am here for you!). My job is to keep you on top of the whereabouts and workings of Deejay Neekola. As she continues to climb the charts you can expect to be kept in the know, getting the behind-the-scene inside look.

My name is Lizzy and I've always been envious of those people who were always in the know about music. I'm sure you know them....the people who find the latest bands who you've never heard of, but 6 months later are everywhere; who frequent concerts more then they grocery shop, and who follow their favorite singer/band/dj and always know the what, who and where of the artists' lives.

Some how, by some twist of fate, I got myself an into that world... and what I see, hear and know, now so will you! Dj Neekola has one fast-paced, crazy life, and in the last month of assisting her, I've seen her true modesty and gratitude for everyone that helps make her who she is.

So far (its only been a month) the best day of this whole experience(being not only a total girly girl, but also huge a fan of wanting to know what goes on behind the scenes) was my first day. After meeting Dj Neekola for only about an hour, she invited me to her photo shoot the next day. I had always assumed that those amazing professional pictures you found on the cover of an album or in Vogue, just happened somewhere exotic. Like NY or LA, and were in a way, so magical. Before we arrived at the Sofiet Hotel in downtown DC, Neekola told me how she was nervous and that she hated doing photo shoots. She admitted she always feels like her prints came out looking unphotogenic. This day though, to me it seemed as if she were a quintessential model. After nine hours with brilliant and ingenious photographer Tim Coburn and makeup artist /hair stylist with exceptional talent James Cornwell, I was totally blown away.

First of all, the two of them together had me close to rolling on the ground laughing the whole day, because they played off each other so well and set the ambiance for the day at ease.

Highlight of their antics: James wearing lace in place of a sweatband over his forehead and threatening to go as 'Glambo' for Halloween!

We switched rooms, we switched angles, Neekola laid on the floor, smiled in a closet, held up vinyls in a bathroom and struck a pose with two of her friends that modeled as bodyguards. She went from hot and hip in a leather coat, to posh and stunning in a chic dress, made for her, by her friend, designer Aidah Fontenot.

That moment,right there put me over the edge.. it was incredible. Everything she wore was tailored to her, one-of-a-kind, and was dazzlingly stylish. Oh and did I mention she also had another friend to help accessorize her? Will Lawry, manager of Georgetown's Reiss was pulling out hot frills as the day went along.
Take a look at some of amazing things I got to see.

Let me tell you it was so awesome, totally worth the nine hours and I couldn't be more thankful for being able to be there and help out!
