Sorry, they didn't come out as well as I thought they would. Most had to be taken on my camera phone so the quality isn't good at all. And I look fat in the picture with Renato


Where the celebrities stopped to have their picture taken:



The front entrance that leads to the lobby:



The lobby stage for the after party. I stood right behind the fake candles, this was the where Prince performed most of his solos during the after show



This was the sign near the entrance of the Dakota Restaurant:



The sign on the side of the Roosevelt...first thing I saw pulling up to the hotel!



Before the show in the Blossom Room. It's blurry but pretty accurate in showing you how close I was to the stage...even though we were in the last part of the vip section. Of course I moved up to the front...it was too tempting and I HAD to try



P symbol on the side wall of the lobby:



This was where the valet parking was...behind and to the left of the sign was where all the socialites tried getting into the Tropicana Bar and pool area. I was ALL SET with hanging out there...I forgot my yellow polka dot bikini with matching Gucci glasses, handbags and shoes so I didn't fit in....



Last and certainly least...a horrible picture of myself with Renato...he's a little dude too!

Fab pics!!

You look so cute!!

Great pics Thanks for sharing!! I love Renato and I don't think that's a bad pic of you at all

Wonderful pics Carrielee!!

Meh, I think I look huge in that pic with Renato..it was the angle or something. Yuck.

Here's me with my friend before the show:

Wow!

Love the pictures! You look wonderful!

Renato is one of my fave Prince band members of all time. He just seems so cool and your conversation with him just cracks me up!

I'm so happy you had this experience CarrieLee!

Renato was a riot, he talked to me for quite a bit while we both smoked and sat on the couches outside. He got up to talk to someone else, went inside and then came back out and said "I'm baack!" and sat with me again. I was goofin with him and asking him about special guests and he would just smile and say I dunno!! We also talked about Los Angeles and kinda snickered at some of the women walking around like their shit didn't stink. He said LA was much different from Brazil but he's lived there for 12 years and 'likes it ok'!!!

great pictures carrieLee! You're a very pretty girl. Next time remember 2 bring your yellow polka dot bikini and matching Gucci glasses with ya

I think Renato was enjoying U

Don't sell yourself short. We can tell you look good!

Your tank top in the first photo caught my eye. I used to be a Brand Development Rep for Jack Daniels and I always wondered where people were going to wear the shirts and tanks we gave them (because some people were very serious about getting them). It is interesting to see someone rocking a JD tank top in a high profile location.

Unless it is a parody shirt (the photo is blurry but I know the logo style anywhere), then it's back to my original thought..."Where to people wear the shirts and tanks we give out at events?"

Renato is a little man too! He's not much bigger than Prince! I even said to him "Boy Renato you're a little man too!" He just laughed. He was a good sport...I can talk a lot and he didn't seem to get annoyed by it.

Jack is my other boyfriend next to Prince. Sometimes I'll cheat on him with Mark and Jim, but not often.

I didn't wear the tank top to the show but I wore it out most of the time I was in LA.

Another difference between Renato and me!

You DO NOT look fat!

Thanks for the photo's.
