Boston, MA:
To most, Halloween is the day where kids dress up in whatever they wish to be when they grow up. To most, Halloween is the night where these kids walk from door to door and get all different kinds of candy as treats. To the city of Boston, Halloween was a night to dance; a night to drink; a night to dress as someone else, whether it be a firefighter, or a cat, or an angel, or a mime, or most importantly, an 80's dancer.
Carrie Oakey was that "guy". And this time, being "that guy" was certainly not a bad thing. Carrie Oakey was Juan Pablo de Pace, more commonly known as the guy from the "Call On Me" video. And yes, he was surrounded by gorgeous women all night. Not only were they gorgeous, they were dressed in 80's garb, namely tights which looked as if they were painted on, accompanied by pigtails…and to top it off…he too was dress alike, minus the pigtails. Clad in skin tight gold pants, Oakey was the nest for these young chicks.
"It was phenomenal!" exclaimed Otis Sanderson, friend of Oakey. "Not only did she have women clinging to him throughout the entire night, but the kid cut one hell of a rug! She broke out dance moves I don't even think Mike Jackson had ever thought of." At one point, the crowd gathered around him and cheered for him, and he danced the night away.
"Meow!" said Luther Brewster, dressed as Sylvester. "My original plan was to try to get some "puddy cat" tonight, but when I saw this guy, I knew…I just knew that it was Carrie that I would be leaving with." And he was right!
When asked what he thought of Carrie's mighty fine outfit, stateroom mate Stamford Branch replied," ". That's right, he said nothing. He was the mime.

Oakey Fist-Pump is New Fad
October 29, 2008
Some people give high fives. Some people yell at the top of their lungs. Some people sing along and dance. Some are so “not low” they don’t know where they are. Some do drugs. One may crowd-surf. Carrie Oakey fist-pumps.
There are many different ways in which one would act at a Beenie Man concert, as described above. It may not be typical procedure to throw up a fist pump at this type of rap/rock/reggae concert, but nonetheless, that has never stopped Oakey before. And to top it off…it was a straight-up-into-the-air fist-pump…from the tiniest, cutest kid in the crowd. But it got the fans rollin’, it got them anxious, it got them, well, pumped!
The Carrie Oakey fist-pump has become common routine not only among the college-aged crowd, but for people of all ages. “Yeah, just walking down the street the other day, some Frank Sinatra came on, and this old couple, probably in their 70’s, ceased holding hands and started fist-pumping in perfect stride, perfect harmony as they continued to walk down the street, as if it was rehearsed!” exclaimed long time friend of Oakey, Otis Terry Sanderson. “I couldn’t believe it! It was as if they took a class on fist-pumping…probably a class taught by Carrie herself!”
When Oakey returned to Jamaica (the country of origin of this well-known fist-pump) a year later for spring break, as she and Luther Brewster were creepily walking past the local first grade school building, the bell rang and the kids came out for recess…but they weren’t screaming with joy to be free…and they weren’t running to the monkey bars…they were fist-pumping and skipping. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luther Brewster. “This cute kid I’m here with started a tradition, a new culture. Not just here, but you see it in NYC, you see it everywhere you go!”
And yes, unfortunately, as mentioned above, there was one who actually crowd-surfed at a Beenie Man concert!!!! Who knows, maybe that will become the new fad for 2009?
But probably not.
