How did you come up with the outfit?
Usually my partner and I pick a topic. I’ve been dabbling in hats lately, so I told her, “I’ll start with a melon – then we’ll move on.” It worked.
And you are also a chef?
Yes. Over the summer, I fed the Seattle Mariners their entire baseball season. And last year they made the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. Coincidence? I do not know.

who brought you here
my publicist He took me and another of his athletic clients, Serge Ibaka, with him. We legitimately ordered the entire menu. Like six of the chopped cheese with the truffle. Now we’re headed to that private party that Drake is throwing.

Who is with you?
My friend who told me the wrong time for the reservation by 30 minutes because I’m always late. People always do that to me.

How is the atmosphere here?
i feel so at home It’s been a rough day, but I’ve got my strawberry margarita, Rick Ross is pumping at just the right level, and the woman at the bar next to me has a mini afro and African jacket, so let’s swing to natural hair. I wasn’t expecting that for Lincoln Center.

what are your first thoughts
This Lincoln Center is a very stylish area and I think if you knocked down the walls of this restaurant some people would get their pearls here.
