Mother Bob's
Danae Daniels Celebrates 16th
The lovely and most of the time talented Danae Daniels celebrated her 16th birthday blowout with an Oklahoma BBQ. The event was hosted at her home bar, Mother Bob's, 542 N. Rampart, New Orleans. If you're like us, we're still trying to figure how it could have been her 16th b-day. Maybe it was her 16th birthday for only one half of her luscious physique?!?
Friends came in to see the diva on her big day, including a large group from Baton Rouge. Following the BBQ, Stardust Karaoke starring Sondra and Michelle of BR fame kicked off for party revelers. Stardust Karaoke is every Sunday, 8-11pm.

Contestant Naya Simone did an outstanding Tina Turner/Proud Mary for talent while contestant Jessica Daniels fantasy as Cher was incredible. And who could resist the Lola by contestant Zhane' Kennedy?
