When Flo Rida agreed to teach me how to be "hood rich," I was expecting a night filled with rhinestone-encrusted sweaters, VIP club booths, and the possibility of purchasing a KFC or a Waffle House franchise (I know how they love their syrup). So when I answered the door in my velour sweatpants and furry boots and started dancing as close to the ground as possible (while singing "low low low low low low low"), I was surprised by his lack of enthusiasm (although he later told me he was just too "lifted" to react, which I assume means lazy).
I gave him some malt liquor in a paper bag, a bottle of Robitussin, and a ten pack of those tight white tanktops as a peace offering, but that didn't get much of a reaction either. However I think I really won him over with the platter of mayonaise sandwiches and grape soda I had ready. Unfortunately we never made it to "da club" as he called it (I'm still unsure which one that is), but I did learn that when you mix the malt liquor with the Robitussin, Showtime at the Apollo is one of the funniest shows you'll ever see.

The Doheny is a next century expression of definitive downtown luxury lifestyle. Set in the landmark headquarters building of oil tycoon E.L. Doheny, the club will provide artisan-crafted cocktails and gourmet small-bites in a classic yet modern setting. A warning to the curious: Don't even think about sneaking in, for even you find The Doheny, rumor has it there's a fingerprint scanner at the door.
