Bishop Don "Magic" Juan's CD Release "Green is for the Money and Gold is for the Honeys"- One day with the Bishop is like a day in the pen, you will get right. The party held at The Dynasty in The Florentine Gardens transformed me and by the end of the night I was on my knees…
–By Eugenia Wright, kleopatragirl writer

The Bishop, the Bishop was the word last night at The Dynasty inside The Florentine Gardens. Everyone is in love with Bishop Don Magic Juan and his new CD “Green is for the Money and Gold is for the Honeys” on Avatar Records but, don’t tell the Vatican, cuz they fer sho did not put out a release on this one. His CD launch party was a majestic display of Hollywood’s bold ones as they paraded in skimpies on the green carpet, Bishop’s favorite color. Who was there? Well, getting right to it, among the first arrivals included Max Hardcore, Porno producer and his latest porn leading lady by the name of Catalina who was only too happy to show off what has made her so famous. She flipped her T-shirt showing off some very talented twins that rivaled those of Pamela Anderson. When asked what she thought of The Bishop’s new CD she asked me who he was? She just forgot her script on the set. Max stated that he would be willing to put Bishop Don Magic Juan in one of his films!!! Gorgeous buxomed golden-bronze singer/model Somaya Reece soon to be on the cover of Maxim Mag in August was also oohing and ahhing for the cameras. She said she had the opportunity to be in the Bishop’s videos and that he fondly calls her little Pam Grier. Davetta Sherwood, little kitten from The Young and The Restless popped up and was amazed by it all. She was bumping her little hips from a 95 lb. Frame, side to side, for the photogs. Standing at a guestimated 5 feet tops in stilettos, she was cute. Davetta plays the little sweet daughter of Victoria Rowell on Y&R. Well, mama would have surely beat her butt, if she knew she was at the Don’s affair. She finally ran into the venue when an answer to one of my questions got stuck in her throat. Oh, the Q? What do you think of the Pimpster lifestyle? And she scurried off. Trust me, she’ll handle it in a few years. 

Drinking from the Bishop Don Magic Juan's cup at his CD release party transformed Freelance Writer/Publicist Eugenia Wright aka The kleopatragirl from good to bad to reciting her Hail Mary's by the end of the night.

Then the carpet turned international and I had to whip out my French for Trackdilla, Music Producer from Paris, looking very bon trendy. He has produced for Sean Paul, Lil Zane, Chico Benymon and others. He said he and Don Juan have the same jeweler, in common. I loved his accent. Switcharoo to Spanish as the Urbano/Latino scene got started with Chaz. Urbano rappers, ooooh they are fearless. It’s that passion mi amor. It just can’t be helped. Flexx, one of the stars and producers of the film Seth, a suspense thriller which will preem at the upcoming HBFF (Hollywood Black Film Fest) made a late appearance. I could have talked to him all night; he has a story that would require a one on one interview. Flexx is an Ex gangster rapper and ex-cop who penned the popular single “Whole lot of gangsta." When I asked him what he thought about The Bishop he said “As Doris Day would say ‘Que sera, sera.’” Look at Doris Day, hmph, remembered, today in the gangsta culture?!!

There was a gap from about 11:30PM till midnight when The Bishop finally arrived and then a media frenzy took place. The Bishop was in great form, sporting his famous wan/stick/crook/cane encrusted with diamonds, diamond sunglasses and holding his diamond signature goblet. No faux bling here. He has the real deal. But, ah, the cup can you imagine what kind of elixir that must hold? Once The Bishop arrived he gave me the scoop on his style of music. The Bishop expressing his thoughts ever so slowly “You can expect joy, love and happiness from my music, to give people a chance to calm their nerves and have an opportunity to hear what the words say. I brought in some old school classics and talk in between the tracks, such as tell her you love her, hey baby tell him you love him. I’m just trying to bring some luv back to the game.” This guy is really smooth. He doesn’t have to do much. His style, flair, clothes, hat, teeth, says it all. He is highly revered. Later in the evening once inside, Actress Gina Gershon showed up and she and Bishop were like two little cooing morning doves. They were stuck like glue with media surrounding them and they loved it. I asked Ms. Show Girls Gina what she thought about Bishop and she said, “I love him so much everyone should have his album.” Her eyes then twinkled and she looked up at his face beaming her sensual crooked smile.

Then I saw an opportunity to get a hold of that goblet, I have a thing about beautiful drinking vessels, so I just stuck my tongue in it, tasted some bitter drink, seconds later, I got grabbed by a big guy that looked like he could be a body guard who wanted me to dance with him, then I got knocked in the head by someone else (who’s name I won’t release) (literally I kid you not) and was transformed by it all. That’s it, I’m out of here and started saying my Hail Mary’s from the VIP room all the way to the car. Hey maybe that’s why The Bishop is the bishop, he’s so decadent; he’ll make you go right. As I exited, Bishop Don was calling players and honeys to the stage like an altar call. Once home, I got on my knees and prayed for forgiveness for having such a sinful good time. I can thank the Bishop Don Magic Juan and his great “Green is for Money and Gold is for the Honeys” CD release party for making me see the light! A day with the Don is like a day in the pen, you will become a changed person. I’m afraid to go to his next party; I might turn in to a nun!

Other Avatar recording artists included Blanca and RSL. Spotted China Shavers from ER and Afreda, French folk singer.
