On Thursday night,newest cast member of Atlanta Housewives Marlo Hampton stepped out in style to host an event. The event was held at the Gold Room in Atlanta. Marlo and I chatted on the phone about the party beforehand and when she told me what time it started and when she was going to arrive, I did a major eye roll lol. If you know me, I am NOT a night person at all and anything past 10pm I am NOT going to make it! I was a wee bit upset that I didn’t go though because from looking at the photos they had a ball!

She said, “well Tami let me know if you change your mind so I can put you on the V.I.P. list with us but I do understand”. I also don’t live in the city of Atlanta and I have a 50 minute commute. So I missed it and I knew she was going to be sh*tty sharp and yup she was lol. Fashion Diva to the “Gawds” stepped out in a Valentino couture mink dress from the Fall 2010 collection paired with Christian Louboutin Swarovski Bronze Crystal Pigalle pumps and Chanel belt. I almost fainted this morning when I looked at her outfit on fellow blogger, FreddyO’s site! I laughed so hard because she gave all the haters the pie face! She “did it on em” with style and grace ha! Gotta love her for keeping her head up through all the negativity! Go head Marlo do the damn thing! I wish I could pull off wearing that ensemble, you definitely have to have the legs for that dress and she does, all the way up to her eyebrows! Enjoy xoxo

Yes, it was that time again for the Bronner Brothers hair show held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. It was wall to wall people that came out to learn about what was trending in the hair and beauty industry. There were workshops,demos,performances,vendors and more that came out. Its always fun to stop by booths that carry your favorite product and stock up as well as watch hair battles on stage with Glen Jackson. “Should she stay or should she go” is what Glen yells at the participating crowd. They raise their hand or applaud Apollo style for what hairstyle they like the best. It is very entertaining to watch.

I made my way over to FHI Heat to get my hair done. I arrived looking a mess but they did a great job with my hair using a ceramic iron that made my hair soft and silky. Then I headed over to The Look By Joi who did my face. I must say this young lady knows her makeup! She did my face so fast and it was a very elegant look.

Should she stay or should she go!

I liked many hairstyles that were walking around. The new hairdo seems to be the colored mohawk. It looks feathery with cut layers with added colored hair pieces. It kinda reminds you of a rooster from looking at it from a side angle.Lots of ladies were also wearing sparkly eyeshadow made with minerals.Many vendors were selling mineral makeup. Nails trends seem to be mitch mach nails. They paint two nails then decorate, then the other nails are of other colors and designed in a whole other color.

I was up in the Clairol VIP Celebrity Lounge conducting interviews with guest that came by. I got a chance to chat with Dondria who has a new album coming out plus we discussed fashion,beauty and hair.

Singer Jacquees was the sweetest as I got a chance to hear his vocals,really good! Ray Lavendar was looking good telling me about his upcoming movie where he plays Sam Cooke.We all got a chance to hear him sing, “A change is gonna come”. I was blown away! He is not just handsome but can sing too ladies, wow! LisaRaye McCoy & Lisa Wu Hartwell also arrived in the lounge for a few candid shots. Both looked fabulous. Malcolm Jamal Warner then entered the lounge and I got all giddy as we talked about his new sitcom, Reed Between The Lines, a new show on BET. He will be playing a Psychologist and said, yes it is kind of “Cosbyish” but that we need to see that sorta show today.

Bloggers Kodak Boi and Freddy O held it down with me as we interviewed the celebrity guests. I had a fun filled day and I tried my best to stay in my heels but it was not happening for me, as I switch out my pumps for flip flops and packed up. Pink Suga was tired but we will be returning today for more fun and action! I would like to thank The Look By Joi, FHI Heat,Clairol,Jamahl King, and Kingsmen Media.

Last night Neyo celebrated in grand willy style by hosting a Moet party at MF Buckhead. The celebs came out in full force to party and sip on Rose Moet.  I felt like the fire marshalls were going to shut the party down at any given minute because of how many people were up in the club. Pink suga didn’t want to sweat her hair out, so I headed outside to watch the red carpet, while Lisa Wu Hartwell and Elijah (her hairstylist) were inside partying it up lol.

Quincy growing up!

Luda suited up!

Lisa looking cute in all white

Is that the old spice dude? lol

While outside the party, I saw PDiddy’s step son Quincy. I asked him what he was up to and he said he released a new music video and that he was working on some film projects. He is so tall now and looks just like his dad, r&b singer Al B Sure. I saw some peach fuzz on that lip too, so handsome lol.

You would have thought we were all at the Indy 500 because people were pulling up in some hot sports cars making all sorts of noise lol. Akon’s brother Boo zoomed up in a lamborghini, while Neyo pulled up in a porsche. All the action was outside, I’m tellin yah lol.I had a great time and it was nice to see Neyo. Funny story: I think you guys know that I’m not a night person and Neyo parties till the wee hours. This is right up Lisa’s alley.

The crew partying it up!

After sitting outside for awhile talking with people, I decided to get the car out of valet and take a nap in the backseat. Elijah drove us home and as they chatted down the freeway they forgot to drop me off! When we arrived at Lisa’s house, I woke up and they started laughing. They were like, “Oh my God we forgot you were back there” and we headed back to my house. Thanks goodness I only live a couple exits from her lol. We got a good laugh out of that!

I thought that was hilarious,Lawd I was so sleep drunk this morning trying to get my kids ready for school. I’m done with the parties for the rest of the week! They can have it while I re-cooperate! I’m going back to bed so I will chat with you guys later! Thanks to The Garner Circle for the invite we had a blast! Enjoy the pics and happy thursday!

The other day mostly all the media in Atlanta was invited out to network and catch up on each others projects. Sheri Riley from Glue Inc. toasted Atlanta’s media by letting us kick back and not work at all. The event was sponsored by Crown Royal. I thought that was very sweet of her and Monica to do.
