"Sharlese, Do you have any scandalous dirt on John Richards?"

"HA! No. He's like the nicest family man I know!"

Sharlese, DJ at KEXP, was spinning Dr. Dre the other night at Lofi. She knows how to get a party started!

"Peter, How do you have time for shagging all those groupies and doing hella blow if you're making new tunes?"

"It's about time management. I give out little tickets with numbers...like the DMV."

Peter, AKA P Smoov, is the producer, composer, MC, singer and engineer in local hip hop group MAD RAD.

MAD RAD is performing this Friday night with Champagne Champagne at the War Room, in Capitol Hill. Hopefully they will find Beatles costumes and bring sexy back! This is going to be the most crackin party between now and the end of the year. I wouldn't miss it!

"Why do you keep asking when Darwin and Buffalo Madonna are going to show up? You have a crush or something?"

"Duh Blushie! That's my kinda man-wich!"

Brooklyn and Kate (photographed above), and other members from Seattle's hip hop world, where found flashing their vintage and new sportswear at Throwbacks NW in Capitol Hill on Sunday.

"Nora, how does it feel having 85,000 copies of a picture of your crotch being distributed all over the Northwest?"

"It feels really awesome! Most viewers ever. Haha!"

Follow the jump to view Nora's crotch on this week's cover.

"Remember Jenni's loft party you were at like three years ago? Do ya remember that crazy girl who ran out in her Pajamas and kicked all 15 of you out of the bathroom?"

"Oh my god, that was you, wasn't it?!!!"

"Uh, yeah. What the heck were all of you doing in there? I was cleaning foot prints off the shower walls for days."

"Yeeeaaaahhhhh, sorry 'bout that."

The Blakes kicked off their three-month tour at Neumos the other night!

"Kristen, there is a smell in the air."
"What is that smell!?! Gross!"
"It's F@#! CRAZY!"

Benny was referring to the Decibel Festival crowd on Friday night. It was crazy, yes. A lot of dancing and loud music filling the air.

"Chase, I noticed you have many large lenses and big lights in your studio. Are you compensating for anything?"

"Ha, no, I just need long lenses to do what I do."

...It's true, he does! Chase told me about his recent trip to New Zealand where he flew around in a helicopter and photographed pro-skiers. (Awesome!)

Chase hosted a party at his Wallingford studio on Friday night, with musical performances and yummy snacks and beverages. Another event that Chase is known for hosting is the "Songs For Eating and Drinking" that has featured local musicians such as Blue Scholars, Fences, The Saturday Knights and Mad Rad.

"Miss Ruby, how many people under the age of 12 have seen your nipples?"
"Oh my god, like 12? Yeah, I'd say 12."

Ruby may have lost a pastie-or-two while performing/dancing/stripping with Seattle's finest burlesque troop the Atomic Bombshells. But she's cute as pie, so we don't mind.

This was the secret Bumbershoot after party at Neumos. It was loud.
