Heres The Story of The McKinney Pool Fiasco The Origin The woman who organized the event in McKinney, Texas is named Tatiana Rhodes (or Tatyana Rhodes). She is approximately 19-years-old; however, she retains a fake id and has began scrubbing most of her social media accounts, so her exact age is undetermined. Update: confirmed profile DOB 04/02/1995, so Tatiana Rhodes is 20.
Tatiana had been promoting a party via twitter under the hashtag name Dime Piece Cookout for approximately a month. She planned the event at a sub-division called Craig Ranch in McKinney Texas.
Tatiana (pictured below left) lives in the sub-division with her mother Lashana Burkes (pictured right). Both appear to be natives of Chicago.
The Craig Ranch subdivision has a neighborhood park and a gated pool and clubhouse for residents. The pool and clubhouse is gated and a scan card is needed to gain access.
The subdivision has a Homeowners Association (HOA) which regulates and controls the activities in/around the HOA swimming pool and clubhouse and has strict rules for use thereof.
Neither Tatiana Rhodes nor her mother sought permission to use the pool or clubhouse area as part of the event. However, Tatiana hired a DJ and promoted the event to include a pool party:
There are numerous social media links reflecting that Tatiana organizes these parties, and charges for attendance, as a profit generating business. Her enterprise name is promoted under the auspices of Twinzzpromotions and uses the email address twinnzzpromotions@gmail.com:
However, the specific event last Friday was advertised as free attendance where Tatiana was passing out flyers and selling tickets for another event she was setting up for June 19.
Tatiana appears to reference herself as a promoter for the various parties she organizes as part of twinzzpromotions:
Her business profile says:
want to throw a party but dont know where to start we do it all. Email us for models, promoters, party planners and more.
The party on Friday was to promote Make It Clap 2", an event scheduled for June 19th (8pm to 1am) $5 advance Tix, $8 at event.
Tickets for MakeItClappPt.2 were being sold at the Craig Ranch party. Heres the flyer for the June 19th event that was being promoted and handed out on Friday:
The DJ (Andrew Cosby) also tweeted out before and during the Craig Ranch event that it was a pool party. DJReign aka Andrew Cosby is also now scrubbing media and hiding his profiles.
Pictured above, Tatiana and her mother Lashana Burkes setting up for the party, while tweeting out #dpcookout so far so good.
In addition to friends of Tatiana Rhodes, more than 100 additional people, mostly teens, showed up as a result of the advertising promoted by Tatiana on social media. They were dropped off by the car-load as the afternoon party began.
