White Party ATL Pride 2010
ANYTIME you go to events like this, and drinks are involved and you are having a good time, your plans start to change, and what you said you were not going to do becomes the exact thing you end up doing. With that being said I decided to go out to the Monday night show at the jungle, but I really wanted to see Teairra Mari who was performing at club Opera for the white party. One thing led to another and I ended up at the white party...
The event itself...well it was a Monday and I guess most people had already flew out, and the residents were at home getting ready for work the next day...

Glo TV Premiere
Yesterday I had the chance to go to the Glo TV premiere with several other people to check out what the lineup was all about. We were able to watch several clips and a few full episodes of shows that the network will host. Anytime something new comes out and people want you to buy into it always look at the seller and how the present the product. Everyone behind Glo TV was VERY passionate about the network, very excited to talk about the shows and things that we will have the chance to see. Being that they were so excited about the network, made me a little more excited, besides its people who look just like me and you on the screen....
I will say 2 to 3 shows stood out more to me, I guess they would be my favorites..the first is a show called Friends & Lovers, it held my attention, I was left wanting more, it actually made me laugh!
Next to Friends & Lovers I would say the next fav would be a show called the Gayest Shit Ever...Pure comedy, but kinda true comedy lol. This is the show you sit down with your girlfriends and laugh at while having wine on a chill night. I think I would actually like being on this show.
You can check out a preview of: Gayest Shit Ever
Glo TV has launched...at the current time it is an online channel only, and you can sign up monthly or yearly. If you choose the monthly plan its only $5.00 a month, cheaper than a Starbucks visit. It will give you access view the shows just as you normally would on TV. If you choose the yearly plan it is $50.00 for the entire year. You will have to check it out for yourself, but its kinda sexy...

Why Wait....Nicki Minaj - Traxx
~ Vance of www.advancesworld.com / @advancesworld
Great Party, Great Drinks, Great People....
If you are in ATL this weekend you are probably aware that the mansion party was in a secret location and was only available by shuttle. The shuttle service was provided from two of the host hotels, the Loews and the Marriott, you also had the option to drive to a nearby parking lot as well. Being that I live in the city I drove myself over and caught the shuttle from the parking lot, the wait was only about 3 minutes. Truck pulls up me and two other people hop in and the next thing I know we are speeding down a dark street, I must say it actually felt kind of sexy the way everything was setup. Though some people had actual vans and buses to transport them I was lucky enough to be transported by truck there and back.
The party itself was nice, not TOO packed where it was uncomfortable but DEF not empty. Two MAYBE Three bars, short waits, great bar tenders. Music wise they were equipped with two different dj's, one on the first level as your greeted by music when you enter the mansion, and another on the terrace level where the pool was located. I got there a little late, so I didn't get to see all the hotness that was in the pool or surrounding it :~( BUT there were a lot of cute people in attendance, including the City Gym Boys. Overall RockStars Production and Southern Explosion gave a great pool party!
Just a quick look at what you missed while RockStars Mansion Pool Party was going on...

Welcome To ATL's 14th Annual Black Gay Pride!
This year for Atlanta's Gay Pride Andre of AndresFlava has decided to show us exactly what jet setting is all about and how to do it the the right way. Andre landed in the Dominican Republic today at about 4 pm for the Labor Day weekend Inferno event, I'm sure he is all set to have a blast this weekend, taking out the minor detail of his bags getting lost (don't worry he will have them by the am).
With that being said the show MUST go on for all of us back in the States! I have the honor of pressing the play button for all of Dre's followers who are looking for the updates on what exactly is going on in ATL this weekend. This weekend will be the 14th Annual Black Gay Pride in Atlanta and one that just may be the most memorable! Though it has started off on a very sad note with losing one of the most loved people in the ATL gay scene Durand Robinson, of the Traxx family, we are sure to celebrate not only gay pride in the black community but the life of one of the people that made it possible for us to have such an enjoyable experience when visiting for the pride celebration.
Now that he is not here with us physically we know that he is sitting very high and looking down low.
Who am I??? I am Vance G aka ADVANCE of advancesworld.com and for the weekend I along with KingNmiami will be your tour guide, the catcher upper, the inside eye of what you may have missed on your left because of the guy you were looking at on your right. Forgive me up front :~) Unlike Dre I am a drinker, so some of the post will be fun, silly, and yes even crazy, but of course we will have our serious post as well. Keep in mind they will all be informative in some type of way to every reader. With the entertainment lineup this year ALL THE WAY TURNED UP it will be a complete blast for all of us. If having Ciara, Nicki Minaj, Frenchie Davis, Dondria, Kelly Rowland, Jazmine Sullivan and Fantasia just on a performing tip is not enough for you, you might want to check out for the weekend and come back Tuesday. What about the guys??? Jensen Atwood is in the city, the City Gym Boys are in the city, Raz B is in the city and with that being said, the Blatino Awards are being held IN THE CITY...what other boys could you possibly ask for? WassupNAtl, WhatsTheT, Traxx, The Lions Den, and Rockstars Productions has it all on lock this weekend.
Once the parties are over, the drinks are low, and the lube is dry you have to go home! This year we will not just be going home with a smile because of the previous night, but we will also be going home to tune into Glo TV which is premiering in ATL this weekend. Glo TV will debut this weekend as Americas First Urban LGBT Television Network! Trust me I have seen the starting lineup of shows and its not something I think you will want to miss!!!
With all of this being said, definitely stay tuned for the ride of 2010 ATL Pride, I don't think you will be disappointed! Be safe this weekend not only in the streets but also in the sheets, wrap it up if you decide you are want to go for a ride.
Any questions, comments during the weekend feel free to reach out to me @ vance@advancesworld.com
2010 Atlanta Pride has just begun, PRESS PLAY! ....ADVANCE

Andresflava celebrats 5 yrs Blogging
I gave birth to my blog on Sept 19, 2005 back then i was known as "lauderdaleboi1500" I had just came back from the Black Gay Men's Health Summit in Brooklyn, New York where i met alot of the movers and shakers in the Black Gay Community at the time with the likes of Frank Leon Roberts, Keith Boykin, Dr. Sheldon Fields, Dr. Leo Wilton, the late Shelton Jackson and countless others who at the moment i can not think of but that conference which was under People of Color in Crisis the leading HIV/AIDS agency at the time to put together the New York Black Pride did an excellent job of having some of the top leaders in the community to come to gether just before pride to come up with ways and ideas to better our community and this is when i knew i wanted to make a difference in the lives of people in our community as well as let my vouce be heard.
Through out the month here on Andresflava we will be taking a look back at where we have gone and where we are goin so sit back and enjoy as we celebrate 5 years stong in the Blogsphere.
