American Idol Syesha Mercado Gives Impromptu Performance
We (xXxTerra & Syndeee) were at International Green Shield's Rooftop Cocktail Benefit at the Cosmo Lofts in Hollywood and the crowd would not let Syesha leave without performing one more song (video below).
Well, the musicians had already left and there was only a DJ, so she gave us an impromptu a Capella performance. Nikki Leonti, a performer from earlier in the evening jumped in and accompanied Syesha--it was nothing short of amazing to witness.

We were so glad to have stayed at the Green Shield charity event so late into the night. Not only did we get treated to that special vocal treat, but we also bumped into Pickel from America's Most Smartest Model & Jennifer from Age of Love.
So, she's like 40 something and he's like late 20 something, but age truly doesn't matter with this couple. They are ADORABLE together! We had the greatest conversation with these two and, in doing so, found out that we are neighbors. Seriously, we live like two blocks from each other & had no idea--that's LA for ya; you really don't know your neighbors here.
Another highlight of the evening was talking with designer of Merritt Charles, Lacy Norell. She has designed jeans that we've dreamed of--ones that are comfortable enough to lounge in, but cute enough to wear out with your girls. Too good to be true, you say? Look!
All in all, it was an amazing evening on an incredible rooftop overlooking the lights of Hollywood hills, in the middle of winter (Yay for California weather!), spent raising money for an much needed charity, The International Green Shield, founded by the wonderful Philip Gilpin.
International Green Shield's Mission Statement:
