*In the heart of Bel Air, CA one of the most beautifully lavished birthday parties was thrown for a true R&B legend, Grammy nominated Johnny Gill. He is the sixth and last member of New Edition, one part of supergroup LSG and successful solo artist.
Johnny’s career expands three decades and his latest album Game Changer continues to spin number one hits and helped reunite him with groupmates New Edition. The theme for the evening was 50 Shades of Johnny.
Set against the erotic theme of the movie (“50 Shades of Gray”), Johnny’s 50th birthday party brought out tons of dominatrix dressed models, a live band, several bars, a photobooth, and yes, mermaids throughout the massive swimming pools. Several celebrity friends were in attendance to help Johnny celebrate the milestone birthday.
