This is a quick snapshot of the dance floor but the photo does no justice to what it really looked like.

Before we even got there, Kaitlin and I made 1000 phone calls and iChat video chats to talk about what we were going to wear at this disco party...but we ended up just wearing our first choice outfits even though we were freaking out

I got ready with Nicole at her house and we headed over to her party. Here's the iPhone photo of me before I left her house.

When I got there, I saw all the BFF's and of course Stephen's best friend Daniel Stabile and we quickly posed for a Disco pose photo!

When we got there they were serving all sorts of finger foods, but they were also giving out Fatburger. I got a vegetarian one, I know its half eaten but Kaitlin and I shared it and we couldnt even finish it. I always end up forgetting to take a photo of the food before I eat it because I'm usually starving! lol

Stephen looked oh so sexy again! I was so glad I got to hang out with him for most of the night!!

I was also super duper excited to see Kassidy Morrow aka parisfan81!! He's one of Paris' biggest fans and gets invited to her events all the time! He's so sweet and so so cute and we totally pole danced together!! so much fun!!

We were sooooo fierce! loves it!

Another amazing part of the decor were the chairs! She had thrones! I remember on BFF every time we got eliminated she sat on a huge throne and started eliminating people! It was similar to it, and way cute! Just had to take a pic!

You guys know Marina from HotforWords on YouTube? well at first I didn't recognize her because she changed her hair 'do but she was looking at pretty as she is on YouTube and was rockin' out with her new brunette 'do!

Of course Onch always beats my outfit, and was weaing M&M's on his silver leotard! So cute, handmade by Onch of course, he is so so crafty!! One of the M&M bags were bedazzled too!

Paris looked so so beautiful as always with the most beautiful Teal flowy dress! Wish I found a dress like that! She for sure wins best dressed always! xo

More photos will be up soon! xoxo Arika ♥

Modeling sunglasses with Nicole, Onch, Me, and Stephen

This blog post is long overdue, but I just received the photos from the photoshoot we did for the ad campaign for SolisCompany.com that Onch, Stephen Hampton, Nicole, and I were involved in last summer in Las Vegas. We modeled for Paul Frank, Harajuku Lovers, Sinful by Affliction swimwear, and various types of Sunglasses. You can most likely stumble on our photos on the Solis Company Website. Here are the photos, they are hot, so enjoy! xoxo Arika ♥

Snapshot with Nicole on the way to Haze @ Aria

It’s been almost a year since we filmed Paris Hilton’s My New BFF Season 2, so our very own Stephen Hampton decided we were in need of a reunion. Overall, I had a blast, because Vegas is always wild, but there was some drama, like always. Almost everyone came, including Me, Nicole, Stephen, Kaitlin, Kristen, Elena, Amanda, and Desi, then we also had our other friends Daniel (Stephen’s bff) and Donna come.

Nicole, Kaitlin, and I drove in the same car since we were coming from L.A., Stephen, Daniel and Donna drove from Upland, and the other BFFs flew in. When we got to the hotel, we all took a picture because there is no trip without a twitpic!

Elena, Nicole and I went shopping and Caesar

Nicole and I roomed in the same room and our bathroom had every possible thing in it, we had bottles of perfume, tubs of tanning lotion and bronzer, and every cosmetic item you could think of.

I took some pictures with the iphone as we got ready!

almost readyyyyyy!!!

After Nicole & I got ready, we were wondering where everyone went, but since we were slow, they went to dinner without us! So we just went back to the room and just chilled. Then they got us and we headed over to Prive where my Vegas promoter friends took care of us and we felt super VIP!

kristen and I wore headbands, I have an obsession with accessories!! xo

After some dancing and having some tasty drinks, some of the BFFs starting getting too wild so we got kicked out. I said thank you to my friends and left the club. Then only 4 of us ended up in the cab I was riding. I felt like 2 am was a bit early for Vegas so Elena, Nicole, Donna, and I headed over to one of my favorite clubs that I always go to which is XS @ Encore.

I had totally wished Stephen came with us, but I think some of the BFFs were tired.

So it was just us four girls at XS and we had like 10 tables for us, it was wild night waiting to happen!

Nicole was Happy for sure

After a struggling morning, and a crazy breakfast and Giorgio's in Mandalay Bay some of the BFFs decided to do separate things due to differences, lol.

A good friend of mine was having his birthday party @ haze @ aria so Nicole & I decided to go there. Aria is the newest hotel built in Vegas and it was phenomenal. There were performers there that were ridiculously talented and crazy looking, and best of all, the guest performer was Timbland! Of course our table was right next to his!!

One of my high school friends from Torrance went to UNLV and now works for Haze @ Aria and I was so excited to run into her, everyone meet Stella! I hope to see more of her real soon since I will be going back to that amazing hotel soon!

Towards the end of the night, Timbaland performed, and I was so stoked. But I was even more happy when someone else came out!......

It was a complete surprise that lil kim showed up. Nicole and I totally flowed to her, she rapped "The Jump Off" "Put Your Lighters Up" two of the best songs by Lil Kim. I had a blast!

Paris & I at her Celebrity Styler & Ultimate Brush Launch Party November 17th, 2009 @ Thompson Hotel Rooftop xo

Last night was the launch party of Paris Hilton and Hair Tech’s Celebrity Styler which is an amazing curler, flat-iron, brush-in-one, and also the launch of her Ultimate Brush. Nicole White and I attended the event together along with Stephen Hampton, Onch Movement, and Kaitlin Cassidy from BFF and we all got to walk the pink carpet with Paris. The event took place at the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel so I was so glad I was well prepared and brought my fur jacket! And for all of you guys who are against real fur, it was a faux fur jacket, I’d never be a sponsor in killing an animal. So don’t freak out!!! We were each allowed to bring a plus 1 but I decided not to bring anyone this time because it was a more of an intimate get together, not a party where you rage and bring randoms. The party was beautifully decorated by Christina of Hair Tech, who was such a sweetheart and I am so glad I met her. Her twitter handle is @ProductsbyParis, so follow her! There were banners with Paris’s products and ads, and the bar had Paris’ pictures on them, which were amazing. I loved the lily pads in the pool and the cabanas each had huge screens in them and there was one huge theatre size movie screen so everyone got to see her commercial! Best of all, Paris flew out 3 of her huge fans that entered the Celebrity Styler contest. One huge Paris Hilton fan, Kassidy who is 17 was so sweet too! He had sent Paris a video of how much he loves her and he got flown out from Arizona with his family! I had talked to him on twitter before so I was so glad I met him in real life! Right before we left, we all got swag bags of Paris’ products, and I definitely can’t wait to try them out! party was HUGE!

Afterwards Nicole & I went to MI-6 in West Hollywood to do a little after-partying, and we danced on tables! That’s about it! TTYS

all of us!

So I totally didn’t have time to make a Halloween costume video but I’m sure you guys saw from my twitter and facebook that I was cleopatra right? Well, if you missed it, I’m posting the pictures here, and here’s a recap to my night!

Friday night I went to Paris Hilton’s Halloween Party! I dressed up as Cleopatra, so I was sparkling in all gold, just how I like it I made this crazy headpiece from sequins and swavoroski crystals but my mom told me it was too out of control, lol. So I decided to just wear a thicker gold headband with gold chains and white crystals on instead. I was probably the most sparkly girl there already anyways…

When I got to Paris’ house I ran into Nicole, she was a pretty purple angel. I loved her feathers and how she combined purple and black. You never see a purple angel ever! They are usually white, or if you are a dark angel, you’re black. So cute! That’s her outfit. Full body pictures are definitely the besttt!!

Then I was looking around and I ran into Onch. Of course he was the most colorful and he was a twister board, so so cute. I spun his wheel and I got right hand blue, haha I forgot to take a picture of that though. Here’s a picture of Onch, Nicole, & I.

Then someone from behind me screamed my name but I swear I couldnt tell who it was. It was Kaitlin dressed up as Lady Gaga. This year so many girls were lady gaga but she definitely looked like a mini gaga! Here’s Kaitlin!

We danced at Club Paris, ran up and down the stairs and I finally found my favorite, Stephen Hampton as a Pirate. OMG he looked so cute and he was even wearing a wig, I like his real hair better but we took a hot pic together.

Do you guys know Stephen’s best friend Daniel Stabile, he was a skinny kitty and he was sooo adorable.

I am putting more pictures up later todayyy so keep coming back!

Paris & I

Stephen, Nicole, Onch and I were invited to Paris’ house for Doug’s surprise birthday party and it was a masquerade theme.

I didn’t know what to wear to a masquerade party so I decided to start off by purchasing a cute mask at Trashy Lingerie. It was silver with glitter with black feathers on it. I ended up wearing a black rhinestoned velvet bustier top with a black tutu skirt and I fit right in with the rest of the crew. Everyone dressed in cocktail wear, with their own little flair. I guess we are supposed to wear a 20’s themed outfit if you are going to a masquerade but I don’t think anyone really had 20’s gear. There were tons of people there, including the BFFs, and some of Paris’ amazing friends!

Here are some photos to show you how the night went, and you can imagine it

Onch, Stephen, Nicole, and I with our No H8 tats!

Today, Stephen, Nicole, Onch and I were asked to pose for the No H8 campaign since we are all strong supporters of gay marriage. It was so much fun doing a photoshoot with the BFFs, and it was even for a good cause! I am completely against Proposition 8 because I believe it is wrong and unfair and I do not believe in discrimination. We got to put No H8 temporary tattoos on our faces and put duct tape on our mouths! Hope prop 8 does not pass in 2010 and gay marriage is legalized!
