30 Ingredients You Need for the Ultimate Party: Part 1

When Ivey and I were working on our project, Foxy Academy, part of our assessment of a celebrity dude would include surmising how he’d behave at The Ultimate Party. Would the guy be friendly to other guests at this imaginary shindig, or might he be a dick? Is he a self-absorbed mooch or the type to show up with a case of beer? Would he initiate fun, be a total downer, or save a fellow Foxy Academy pupil who got too drunk from drowning in the kidney-shaped pool? (Ivey: “I need to see LL Cool J helping drunken Michael Cera out of our pool (and saying, ‘It’s alright, playa’) like, TODAY.”)
