So Camp-- Death Race 2000. When "rated R" was on the edge.

This is the original poster and trailer to the cult classic directed by Roger Corman.  Funny to see Sly Stallone in the mix here.  I love the line "he was built by the world's finest surgeons to drive the fastest car".

At Bruce's party this past Saturday in Hong Kong he played his hits from the Commodores.  "Brickhouse" is a classic.

Dita Von Teese in Hong Kong Last Nite-

Wanna' warm up the night at a party? Hire Dita Von Teese.

My friend Bruce had a marathon birthday weekend here in Hong Kong over the last 3 days-- and he had many performers throughout. But last nite, was tops. From Rihanna to Lionel Ritchie to Jewel and David Blaine. It was no joke. But the Dita Von Teese Burlesque striptease and the champagne got the blood going --at around 8pm.

Called it quits at 4a.m..

Great party Bruce! Happy B-day mate.
