Soul Train Awards 09

Everyone and their mama was on board the Soul Train Awards last night, held at the Georgia World Congress Center. I’m going to be honest and say I was a lil annoyed by alot of things I saw happen,but thats a whole other post. I will just let you view the pictures and I’m going to keep it moving. I try to write fun and positive posts but like I hear all the time,if you dont have anything nice to say,then dont say nothing at all. lol

Hosts Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson

Everyone looked nice but I’m so glad I didnt have to fly out to Los Angeles (where it’s usually held) to see the same people walking around Atlanta. The only people that I’ve never met was Chaka Khan,Ray J and Robin Thicke, all very pleasant. I loved Chaka Khan’s big hair. I also saw Fantasia and she had on the baddest shoes on the carpet!

Reality Star/Singer Ray J

They wisked her off the carpet so fast,I couldnt get a pic of them but they were hott to death! Celebs that were there, I’ve interviewed a Gazallion times, so no need in me pulling out the camera, I just took pics. As you see my pics aren’t that great because the carpet was jammed packed and some of the media outlets that were there, were EXTREMELY RUDE and alot of the staff and security were too!

Robin Thicke

Enjoy the pics I’m over it!

I’m going to write this post just like I saw it, so bare with me and keep up lol. I absolutely love Atlanta! You just never know what your going to see here. I dont care if its 105 degrees outside,you just may see somebody in a full length mink coat, or a guy with a baton and a pink tutu…snaps!

Well Bronner Bros came back this year and they brought out every Rainbow Brite character you could ever imagine to their hair show! Im not saying that in a bad way,im talking about characters that were fierce,fly,died,fried,glued,quickweaved,sprayed and layed to the motherf*ckin side!

When we got the the show,my daughter became very overwhelmed quickly because she just didnt know what to expect. It was her first time…po baby!Ive been in the beauty industry well over 15yrs. I owned a nail salon in Cleveland many moons ago, and I was doing my thing with the nail art back in the day. I entered many nail competitions and I remember the more drama you created or attention you drew to yourself, the better! Add a lil pink fairy dust and an attitude and you were sure to win, ha! I have plenty of trophies to prove it!

Is that Michael J? I cant!

Fun and Entertainment is exactly what the Bronner Bros brought to the Georgia World Congress Center today! Gazillions of people came out,if you missed it today,get your booty down there tomorrow! It was pure excitement in the air!  Every hairstylist,barber,nail tech,manufacturer,salon owner,product specialist,shampoo assistant,masseuse,quick weave specialist,hell the whole beauty industry was there, plus!

Walking down the isles at the show I saw, flea market finds,antiques,Fucci bags,glitter and sparkle for your hair,shoes,guy in gator suit worth $30,000…why? lol, rainbow colored hair of your choice, just about everything you would want to buy or not lol.

Big Badd with Gator outfit…oh my!

On the other hand,I also saw some great healthy hair stations,pinktastic hair products,motions,clairol,f.h.i heat,Derek J doing platform work,platform stylists ,PZI jeans with some huge afro girl models, and I did see some classy and stylish hair do’s as well.

Clairol

It was a mesh of young people hairstyles and my kinda hair lol. I loved every minute of it! Bronner Bros had something for everyone and the demos and educational courses that were offered this year were great! I also loved the hair competition portion where it was down between a 15yr old girl that had red feathers in her hair andsome type of short do and a guy rockin a gold n fire engine red bob. The girl won but he gave her a run for her money! Im going to need that guy to show me how to work the runway one day,he worked that stage okay! I also loved the commentator he was a hoot saying, “Should she stay or should she go”?Then they played,” To the Left”  by Beyonce, It was the funniest thing! The hairstylist who did the 15 yr old model’s hair won $1,000. I could buy soo much Betsey Johnson with that money! Maybe I will enter next year! Hmm?

The winner of the hair competition and model

In the V.I.P. area I got to mingle and chat with Jamie Foster of Sister 2 Sister magazine,Tiny and Toya,Sheree from the Housewives,Young Joc,Drumma Boy, Al B Sure, OMG Girls, and cutie pie Cymia! I had so much fun today and going back tomorrow for more pink carpet access action! Here are some pics from the show today, and tomorrow I will have part 2. Toodles!
