The“ Fade” video standout and star of VH1’ s upcoming hip-hop drama The Breaks( seen on page 71) gives us her party pointers.

TALKIN’ PARTIES with

LIL BUCK The movement artist( seen on page 70) comes alive in the nighttime.

“ When I go out to parties and stuff, I know that I can bust some shit out and shut it down at any given moment. I know it’ s not fair, but I can actually control the party with my moves. The body roll is a good starting place. Just that sway— it’ s that rock motion, that swinging. It’ s real cool and real chill and just, like, not too much. It’ s the bounce in the legs, sort of bending your knees a little bit, and there, you’ re hitting a little Drake.”

Assess the location.“ We going to a club? Then we know we’ ve got to dress comfortable, because we’ ve got to be ready to break it down,” Taylor says.“ I’ m the best partygoer ever because I take it seriously.”

Adhere to the dress code.“ I don’ t half-ass; if it’ s a black-tie event, I go all out. For the seventies party we had for my mom, I was seventies from head to toe.”

Fuel up before you get down.“ I like a full meal,” Taylor says.“ Before the club, I like fried chicken, macaroni, collard greens. I just don’ t like vegetables and onions, and relish. I like those flavors, but I don’ t like the texture. I just don’ t eat stuff that I can’ t spell, pronounce … or define.”

Hudson and his owner, account manager Raquel Clubwala, met Samson and his mom, medical resident Jess Fokides, at an NYC dog park. They
connected with Annie Trombatore, a VP of product at Thrillist, when she bought Neptune from Hudson’ s breeder.“ At the root of it, we all like to hang
out and drink wine,” Trombatore says.“ It’ s a plus that the dogs get along too.” Follow @ hudsonthedood, @ samsonthedood, and @ neptunethedoodle.
