Last night I had the time of my life! I was invited out to check out Blendz Hair Salon in Midtown! The salon is very spacious and I love the turquoise she used in her decor! The water fall at the reception desk is very nice! Ms. Paula Britt is the owner of the business and she did an amazing job. She is a serial salon owner and I think she is on to something here.
Host Ebony Steele & Event Planner Ina Saulsberry
Actor Chad L. Coleman & Paula
The host for the evening was radio personality Ebony Steele from 107.9′s Rickey Smiley show and she was so funny. She said she wasn’t getting paid to host the event because she was getting her touchups for trade, I was dying! I also saw actor, Chad L.Coleman from The Wire.

The lovely Ebony Steele and I
He told me he will be in a movie called, The Green Hornet that will be out this Christmas. Later Sunshine Anderson performed her hit single, “Heard it all Before” and she rocked the house, or shall I say salon! She sang that song so good, she did an encore! Go head Ms.Sunshine you can tell some guy pissed her off to write that song ha!

I’m going to keep it short because I want you guys to view the pics but this event was very dear to me because my friend is dealing with this disease. Breast cancer is no joke and I’m glad that I was able to participate at this event.
Shades of Pink
A portion of the proceeds for the Pink Party went to breast cancer research, which is very important. Sophia Williams(owner of T&S shoes) put on a very nice event. She said she has an aunt who had breast cancer and alot of her customers so she wanted to do something to give back. Shout outs to Isadora Belle from Reigning Events for thinking of me to host the Pink Party too!
OMG Girls
Eva Pigford looked fabulous and I loved her shoes. I also never seen Fantasia perform in concert and I was blown away by her stage presence omg! She did an amazing job and was full of energy! She shut it down! I also got a chance to hug Kandis Buruss who came out to support Fantasia. Fantasia dedicated the song Purple Rain to her.
Fantasia!
I presented Fantasia,Eva Pigford and Kandis with a Pink Ribbon Lolita’s Wine glass, they loved it. Enjoy the pics below and thanks again everyone who attended too like Joe Gutta,Gary Smith, Sunny Lisa Cunnigham!

Here is a video clip,sorry I got a lil carried away with camera lol
I got an invite to go to a great party last nite! I must say this has been a great week for parties! I’m exhausted but had lots of fun! Im almost running out of pink outfits can you believe that? Ha! Lisa Cunningham is a Pinktastic lady that I met last year on a video shoot. She was directing a hott music video for a client and I was on set to see how it all went down. She is very professional and knows her job all to well,we became fast friends. Later this year she sent me a message that she really enjoyed my tweets. I was taken back because I know she is a very busy lady and I never would imagine that she would have time to read my twitter posts. Awh,I was very flattered!
Lisa Cunningham and I
After that her and I kept in touch. I recieved an invite to Lisa’s launch party from April Love, her publicists. Lisa had warned me that it was going to go down at her party and wow she was right! I had a chance to go see her facility a couple weeks prior and this place is a full entertainment production facility,and a one stop shop for all your needs. I thought the front office space was all she had till she took me on tour. Lisa then opened this other door and poof, a whole new world was back there! Editing suites,sound booths,studios,makeup rooms,the whole nine! They even have their own trucks to move their equipment to different locations, she is huge! What did I expect though, this is a million dollar company! I’m so proud of young people starting their own companies and she really has inspired me!

Back to the partee! So we get there and its wall to wall people! The red carpet has all sorts of people posed up and giving shout outs and congrats to United Front Media. I get my pose on and proceed to go inside. First thing I see is a James Bond look a like! He was a hottie and the bond girl was in a gold swimsuit,she was posed up on this pedastal! I was really liking this party already and that was just walking in the door,what! lol. It looked like I was walking into a 007 movie! There were these huge silver umbrellas everywhere, like people were on a photo shoot. This was some hollywood stuff and my head was spinning!
Sexy Bond Girl
Next was a model resembling Coffey from those black exploitation movies,she was hott and had a bangin body! Iasked Lisa was she real because girlfriend had a booteee! lmao! Every time you walked a lil further into the party it got wilder, I was like wow whats next! It kinda reminded you of going to the haunted house and you just didnt know what was going to be behind the next door lol! So then we walked down this narrow hall and the music got really loud. We proceeded thru and there was all these people at tables.Different colored strobe lights were flashing and changing colors throughout the party!
Coffey model
It was dancing girls looking too cute and DJ Trauma up on the stage spinning on the wheels of steel! I was like wow this is hott! We kept walking because I wanted to see more! There was a model that looked like Billie Holiday, she was dressed in a white flapper dress with beaded feather headwrap, too cute. Then I saw a beautiful lady that looked like Marilyn Monroe. On the other side of the room, there was a model dressed like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, with ToTo as well! In this particular room was tropical food,desserts,bars in every corner,people mingling and dancing.
Dancers at party
I’ve never had so much fun in my life,it was good to see everyone! The music was great,DJ Trauma kept me dancing all night long! I thought I was looking hott because I did my own face. I tried to mimic a Barbie look and I thought I did a pretty good job of it! My friend Danielle Armstrong from www.organicpr.com and I boogied in our chairs as she yelled out,” Tami you do a mean chair dance”! I laughed so loud because that is exactly what I was doing! It was so crowded that I just danced in my seat,we’ve all done that! Shout out to Stephen Gilmore(www.schere-inc.com ) my designated driver for picking me up! I know you had fun too!
My chair dance partner Danielle lol
