NIGHTLIFE
"When somebody asks, 'Where should I go?' I usually recommend The Roxy. I know a lot of people have their after-parties there and a lot of celebrities go there. We've performed a couple of times at The Alley Theater. They did a Motown show and did all of the Motown artists, and it was really great."

SATURDAY


BREAKFAST
"This Is It is a soul food restaurant downtown. They have the best breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Any kind of soul food you want. For breakfast, it's grits and eggs and just any kind of regular breakfast food. They cook it so good it tastes like your grandmother made it."

SIGHTS
"Right near The Galleria there's the Water Wall, this beautiful waterfall at the Williams Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Houston. It's a nice place to go on a date. The breeze is nice, because Houston is usually warm and you can feel the water blowing against your face. It's just a peaceful, beautiful place to go. I had one of my first dates at the Water Wall. And we did a photo shoot there. The Water Wall reminds me of summer. It reminds me of my childhood. It reminds me of growing up. When I didn't have anything else to do, I'd just go to The Galleria and watch the people. When I see The Galleria and the Water Wall, I know I'm home. When I see big hair and big jewelry, I know I'm home."

SHOPPING
"Bebe has a lot of great clothes that aren't as expensive as other name-brand clothes. They have great sizes for everybody; my mother can shop there, my little sister can shop there, and I can shop there. The Turquoise Lady has all this designer turquoise.
