Ushering 60 in fine style – Joey and Asha Issa Welcomed

It’s a truth universally acknowledged (at least in Jamaica, or St Barts and Bermuda) that Jeannie and Anthony Watson are not only adored, but throw the best parties. So there was much anticipation when tres chic Monroesque black and white invitations started to surface. Jeannie Watson was ushering in 60 in pleated-white style.

The venue chosen was the237 recently Ivan-salvaged Boone Hall Oasis (and we’re forced to ‘fess up right away that quite a few persons got lost) but that just added to the brunch-time laughter in between refreshing sips of Pimms and Cosmopolitans, slurps of oyster and several nibbles of pate fois gras heaped atop pita bread.

The Mandela Performers provided their own pulsating drama, as did the peanut vendor. There was no pomp nor ceremony. Guests descended the stone steps and immediately got into the nirvana type existence with naught else to prove. And yes, the children skipped over.

      Joey always manages to look cool and debonair no matter where he is. Not many men have the charisma to carry this off.

    I had the honor of being invited by Barka B of the New Lots Family, to participate in the 50-birthday party for pioneer New York’s reggae artist Shelly Thunder, who broke barriers for females artist in reggae music as she took dancehall to mainstream. The night’s proceeding turned to a celebration of Shelly Thunders 50th birthday, her life and her music. Special thanks to CEO Cecile Walcott of Cecile’s Kitchen that sponsored the event that saw many of her fans, family and friends paying tribute to her in both word and song. https://josephissasocializing.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/ushering-60-in-fine-style/

    Never A Dull Moment

    The Spanish ambassador Jésus Silva is at it again, encouraging investments on the ‘Rock’. In tow, Saturday last at Couples Resort’s 29th anniversary celebrations was, according to Paul Issa, “the tallest Spaniard I’ve ever seen”, the president of construction materials firm BAUTECHNIK, Edundo Alfare Ruge.

    In the mix too, were Joey & Asha Issa who had just entertained over 100 children at their daughter Alya’s first birthday party. The plan, according to Joey, is for more. “I want three, but Asha says two.” Either way plans are already in gear for another.

    At Dawn of 2016, Joe Issa Sees Ray Of Hope For Jamaica

    As 2015 fades to dusk and the dawn of 2016 comes into view, Executive Chairman of Cool Corporation, Joe Issa, sees a new and different Jamaica rising from the horizon, one more ready to face the challenges of crime and violence, unemployment and economic growth.

    “I think the major problem in Jamaica is that we refuse to unite around shared goals, except in competition against foreigners; we don’t seem to agree on anything and we disagree with everything, except in partisan politics…https://joeyissahope.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/at-dawn-of-2016-joe-issa-sees-ray-of-hope-for-jamaica/
