During the height of New York Fashion Week, a certain “fashionista” stepped onto the scene to celebrate something other than the latest couture trends…himself! TV Personality, Josh McBride, celebrated his annual birthday bash on Friday, September 6th, at Nebula Nightclub.
Known for its exciting nightlife and indelible experience, Nebula opened its doors to a large guest list of 400 people who were family, friends, and loved ones of Josh. Dipped in black and shimmery silver to match the party’s theme, all attendees were dressed to impress as they mingled amongst one another and sipped on Whoopi Prosecco, Tequila Mi Campo, and Juliette Liqueur. Servers walked around with appetizers and finger foods for the taking, while a long dessert bar displayed the cutest bite-sized, mini chocolate and vanilla cupcakes provided by Baked By Melissa that creatively spelled out “Joshy McB.”
While some grooved on Nebula’s dance floor to DJ Nyce’s poppin’ setlist, others walked the red carpet to take photos with Josh in front of the step-and-repeat. Familiar and famous TV faces were amongst those who graced the camera: Tiffany Pollard (I Love New York), Clay Gravesande (Love Is Blind), Guerdy Abraira (Real Housewives of Miami), Kamie Crawford (MTV’s Catfish), R’Bonney Gabriel (Miss Universe 2022), Aparna Shewakramani (Indian Matchmaking), Ty Hunter, Chris Redd (SNL), Laura Geller (Laura Geller Makeup), Annabelle Hedges (model), Lisa Evers (Fox5), Hazel Sanchez (PIX11 Anchor) and many more.
Josh took to the stage to welcome and thank everyone for gathering to celebrate another year of his life. He emphasized his gratitude towards those who traveled far and wide and wished for great vibes throughout the night. Surprises were next on the party’s itinerary as the first performer, Yung Wylin, made his way through the crowd as he sang his hit single, “Good Energy.” After performing his second song of the night, “Island Gyal,” the crowd’s energy intensified as actor and singer, Ryan Toby, arrived on the scene to perform his classic hit, “Oh Happy Day,” from his famous role in Sister Act 2. The club was filled with screams as Toby sang the well-known lyrics, “la, la, la, la, la, la la la la..,” giving everyone nostalgic goosebumps. He went on to sing “Joyful, Joyful,” from the movie’s soundtrack as well as, “What Would You Do,” from City High and other hits he wrote as a songwriter.
Reality TV royalty aka the “H.B.I.C,” Tiffany “New York” Pollard made her grand entrance as she walked onto the stage with shades on, a wine glass in one hand, and a microphone in the other. She kept the crowd’s high spirits going as she encouraged them to make some noise for the next performer: Lil Mama! The multifaceted entertainer called Josh to the stage so all partygoers could help her sing “Happy Birthday” to Josh whose smile stretched wide. After her own gratitude speech towards the birthday boy, the CrazySexyCool actress had guests rapping her own lyrics back to her as she performed her vintage hits, “Lip Gloss,” “Sausage,” and “Girlfriend.”
Just when one would think it couldn’t get any better than that, it in fact, did! Young Joc in his orange, matching two-piece set that Josh jokingly referred to as a traffic cone, appeared on stage. He influenced everyone to raise their glasses up to toast to the birthday boy as they took a shot of Patron together. It was truly a night of hits as Joc reached into his own music portfolio as well, playing “Buy You A Drink,” “Patron,” and “It’s Going Down.”
Guests were left to bust a move on the dance floor as the party came to a close. No one wanted to leave but they definitely snagged more Baked By Melissa mini cupcakes on their way out.
There’s truly no party like a Josh McBride party!
