Diddy Lays It Down - 10 Tips for New Year's Eve

A great pair of shades.

Foods that don't interrupt your swagger.

Ciroc.

Yes, all the makings of a dopefresh New Year's Eve, that in the Word & Verse According to P. Diddy. The man himself has issued a list, and how it began circulating I know not, but I think it's pretty amazing that Diddy's sitting around thinking, "Wow, I am so busy with my music, my endorsements, and my general coolness.... Yet, I am compelled to stop for a moment now to reflect on the essential things an Everyman must know to celebrate New Year's Eve in high style. Diddy-style." And once he checked his list, twice, how does one get such information disseminated? That is not for us to know, friend. We are just plain men, and He is Diddy.

Well, it has made it on the internet, thank God for Al Gore, and I am henceforth sharing it with you humble reader. We could all use a dopefresh New Year's Eve, Diddy-style.

10. Your party spot has to set the tone for the night... It creates the
blueprint for the entire evening.

9. A great bartender... Bad drinks aren't sexy... Also beautiful wait-staff are key...

8. Food should never interrupt your swagger... Small tapas or finger foods
that aren't too messy tend to work well.

7. Music should be the soundtrack to the night... It should match the
theme... It should match the flow.

6. Preserve the sexy... My oldest and truest party rule. If it's about furs
and diamonds, don't show up in jeans.

5. The right party people... Your tried-and-true friends that know how to
get your party started mixed with a few new characters to keep things
exciting... but everyone has to be sexy.

4. You need a great pair of shades... Because the best New Year's Eve party
doesn't stop until well into the New Year.

3. You need a great host... Like me... Someone who is a master in the art
of celebration.

2. Ciroc... The world's best ultra-premium vodka... Enough said.

1. It's never sexy to be sloppy... know your limits and drink
responsibly.
