ALL ACCESS PASS...

I had the pleasure of attending the Baby Phat Fashion Week Fashion Show, and I must admit it was certainly amazing. There is something that I love about the industry, I'm not sure if its the lights, the cameras, the red carpets or the C list celebs who refuse to sit in the second row LOL... When my sister Shyah (Public Relations for Baby Phat) asked me to work their fashion week event I was certainly eager. I was asked to escort front row celebs to their seats. When the doors opened the first celebs that I had to seat were Ice T and his wife COCO (that is his wife right) but as the B/C list celebs began to arrive that's where I ran into my problem. WHO THE HELL SAT TEYANA TAYLOR AND HER MOM IN THE SECOND ROW, is what her manager wanted to know. and Chrisette Michelle kindly refused to sit down until her front row seat was available. Trust me at a larger venue all of these guest would have been granted front row seating but this year Kimora did the appropriate thing and opted for an economy friendly venue. At any rate the guest all got the seats they wanted the lights dimmed and the show began. I was pleased by the fashion that came down the run way it was sheer fabolousity. I also loved the fact the diggy, Russels nephew was seated with Djimon Kimoras new man and soon to be baby daddy. As the show ended we watched Kimora and her girls work the run way and all I can say is Aoki is a star in her own right. At the end of the night Sam and I took a few pics with the celebs we adored the most... Overall the event was a success...

Calling it a Night...

 Last week was my girlfriend Kenya's birthday, she wanted to do something fun yet simple, so I stopped on Dekalb Avenue at a cute little winery "Thirst" and purchased a bottle of Rose. My next stopped was Juniors Bakery on Flatbush Avenue for a Strawberry Short Cake. I arrived home in time to eat dinner, take a shower and iron my clothes. I decided to wear a pair of high waisted over sized wide leg pants by "KLS", a black bustier, and 4 inch studded peak toe pumps by BABY PHAT yes BABY PHAT trust they are not your average, the shoes are mean. When Kenya arrived we sipped on the champagne and laughed about our college days in reference to where we are today. This was said to be a throw your hands up and let your hair down kind of a night, so instead of driving we took a taxi. Outside of Sway Lounge we were greeted by a group of fellas whom of which needed female escorts to get into the Lounge. As our two girls Jemi and  Saachi arrived we kindly escorted the gents in and went on our way. We found a cozy little booth, ordered our drinks and we let the party begin. We danced to tones played by our favorite DJ The Fresh Prince who made us feel like every song was dedicated to us. The night was slowly approaching it ends, when some naughty patron pulled a show stopper as I went to grab my sweater, they grabbed my purse, leaving me and my friends to search frantically. But to avail, I must admit that the managers at Sway were not helpful AT ALL. I felt like I had just donated my most valuable possessions to charity, some lost soul is walking around swinging my Marc Jacobs bag, talking on my cell phone, showing my ID to get into clubs, and taking pics of the city on the digital camera that was also in the bag...

NOT COOL, NOT COOL...
