Hey mi amours!!! I am soooo sorry I have been out of action for a little while now … had some issues to sort out….I had to move (although it appears I have moved to the GHETTO!), visit the family and finally managed to get a new laptop so I can start blogging again, as the other one had totally given up on life, kind of like me after my 100th job rejection this time last year…but Oh well!

Anyhu I decided to take my ass out last night to Manison, newly named M2 Ultra Lounge, in Manhattan, NYC  and I actually had a pretty good night! Pre-party I popped in to Xilla’s Birthday Bash around 10.30 and got to meet the man of the hour, who was definitely having a good time! …..Also got to meet Kitty Bradshaw, also a fellow blogger … and a lovely girl …..Overall good music, nice atmosphere…so part 1 of my evening was going well. Then I decided to go to Mansion/M2 to finish off the evening….

Anyhu last night half of the cast of BET’s reality show, Harlem Heights were in the building, Briana, Brooke and Christian were there having a good little time and Brooke (Kanye’s Ex) and Christian are definitely still together, very happy and….are actually really nice people!! I say actually because in all honesty after watching parts of the show I got the impression that in person they would be arrogant and maybe a little fulll of themselves but HELL NO…. On our way out they stopped, introduced themselves and even posed for a quick flick (above)…. They really are very nice people and a cute lil couple (no homo)… BTW I’m loving Brooke’s hair cut…What do you think mi amours? Love ‘em or Loathe ‘em? ….

If you guys were unaware, I actually grew up in London, U.K. and only recently moved to New York City. I have therefore have a unique duo perspective on relationships and men. NY vs. LDN is all about the differences and comparisons that I am experiencing right now!!

So the first impression you get from a guy is ALWAYS important! The funny thing is the MAJOR difference, that I have experienced between the average LDN guy and the average NY dude.

In London, if I was at a club or just out and about and a guy approached me this is more or less how the conversation would go:

LDN Guy:Wats gd? *nods head at me* …….uh…….How old are you?

Cherie Amour: Nothing…..?? (my age ;o)) *looks up at the sky bored already*

LDN Guy: So….What ends you from? (U.S. translation: Endz = area e.g. queens/brooklyn)

Cherie Amour:Lewisham……(I was using this location even B4 I lived there, for those that know me……u no why)

LDN Guy: So can I get your DIGITS den? ( U.S. translation: DIGITS= phone number)

Cherie Amour:Umm…I have a boyfriend…..sorry! *walks away utterly unimpressed and annoyed I had to entertain that poor excuse for a conversation*

And yea, even if I didn’t have a boyfriend I still used that line….just like N.Y. guys,LONDON guys would sometimes try the whole …."we can just be friends" rubbish(trash), but LADIES it’s all about DELIVERY; put the right hint of distaste in your voice and mofo’s WILL get the message….most of the time…

Anyhu Let’s compare to American , NY guy:

NY guy: Excuse me, can I talk to you for a second? *usually looks me up and down, with some sort of sexy look in his eye* I’m …..(name) (extends hand)

Cherie Amour: *shakes hand* Cherie

NY guy: *makes some kind of chit chat, Who did I come out with?/ Where am I going?*

Cherie Amour:*Chit Chats back explaining my accent and that I’m from London, if they haven’t already guesssed*

NOW HERE IS THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE:
