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 .”

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 .
