The event was filmed live for Monica&#8217;s new BET Reality Show &#8220;Still Standing&#8221; and the celebration also brought out quite a few celebs with their kiddies! Jermaine Dupri, Celebrity Photographer Derick Blanks, Rock City, and many more of Atlanta’s music community that has been down with Monica since day one, all came through to celebrate family and share in Monica&#8217;s success.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/main-30.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19377" title="Romelo" src="http://straightfromthea.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2009/11/main-30.jpg" alt="Romelo" width="560" height="373" /></a>Romelo blows out his candles! He&#8217;s such a cutie!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/main-29.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19378" title="Lil Rocko" src="http://straightfromthea.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads/2009/11/main-29.jpg" alt="Lil Rocko" width="580" height="386" /></a>Lil Rock is 4? Where&#8217;d all that time go? Adorable!!</p>
<p>The party was billed as a birthday celebration for both Lil Rocko and Romelo but Monica let me in on a lil secret. It wasn&#8217;t actually either of the boy&#8217;s birthdays but Lil Rock wanted a day they both could share, so being the great Mom that she is&#8230;Mo gave her babies what they wanted. She explains it in the video below and also addresses why she chooses to keep her show &#8220;drama free&#8221;: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/11/03/family-affair-monica-celebrates-still-standing-the-mother-flixvideo/#more-19376" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

Proceeds from the event went to benefit the Big Kidz Foundation, which is Twan&#8217;s non-profit organization established to  nurture the intellect of youth by providing them with culturally diverse experiences. Talk about partying with a purpose! This shindig went on til the wee hours of the morning in the Courvoisier Lounge and spread throughout the entire studio.</p>

I&#8217;ll tell you below&#8230;</p>
<p>You may also recognize Big Boi&#8217;s &#8220;costume.&#8221; He states that he was &#8220;Dick Fury&#8221; (a spin off of DF/Dungeon Family) but my first impression was George Jefferson. He explains the inspriation behind his plaid suit and huge fro and you may (or may not) be surprised to hear the explanation.  Video plus more party pics below: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/11/02/flixvideo-big-bois-big-kidz-foundation-halloween-party/#more-19309" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
