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!

Stylist Shun Melson’s Baby Shower

Celeb Stylist Shun Melson

Babies are so cute and sometimes I think I want to have another one, till my kids start arguing, no thanks lol. Yesterday evening Celebrity Stylist Shun Melson invited me to her baby shower.  Since I moved here four years ago, I’ve been invited to maybe one shower,whats up with that?  I don’t know why that is but I love baby showers but it was good to get out. I met Shun about two years ago at Derek Blanks studio. She was always styling some celeb and I didnt quite understand what she did. Where I come from, you just get dressed and go on your way. She said no, its an art to dressing someone and they pay me to do it. She definitely does too, she owns CreativeSolutionzllc and she has the hottest clients around!  I never knew back then, dressing someone was a big deal lol. I’m learning you guys more and more.

The Happy Couple

Shun styles some of the hottest celebrities like NeNe Leakes,model Veishena Drain, rapper Shawty Lo and R&B Singer Monica,that you see came to the shower. I was looking at Shuns pics on her website, the other day and I’ve come to the conclusion that her signature look is the bow. She loves pretty bows! I like them to girl!

Shun looked adorable in her haute couture outfit. I was like wow, I didn’t look that great when I was pregnant,I had on a tent,in blue lol. Now a days they wear stilletos and sparkly leggings lol. Lots of people came to rub on her belly and wish her well. She is expecting a baby boy and has a name picked out as well,Chase. Her other son name is Chazz. People played baby shower games like, guess that tune, complete with buzzards and then later they  had a Babynista fashion show. You had to create a hott look for the red carpet,Naterica Johnson won that contest.

Shun and her son Chazz

Why was Jamil Pratt the best dressed Diva there? He told me he is also a stylist and works at Neiman Marcus. He wore skinny jeans,designer jacket,Christian Loubutin pumps and Coco Chanel purse, he play to much, and shut down the party! I was so jealous lol. Christian was there too, he does makeup for all the stars in Atlanta and especially does singer Monica. I remember meeting him at the Atlanta Housewives premiere party and he had that fire engine red hair. He brings the drama to any party!

Jamil Pratt, fashionista

Shun’s husband is a chef and I had no idea he owned a restaurant. The menus were teddy bears that  flipped over to read what you wanted, I loved that. Teh lil details were adorable and her party planner did an amazing job. I selected the fried pork chops,yams and mac & cheese with drink.The drink on the menu was Chace Tini how cute is that!  I was ready to curl up and take a nap after that meal, it was sooo yummy, omg! It was southern eating alright!

dsc04461

I got a chance to chat with NeNe and she said she has been really working her butt off! NeNe’s hubby Greg brought in tons of boxes of diapers because that is what Shun had on her gift registry. I wish the happy couple a healthy baby and if you need a sitter you know where to find me! Congrats to the Melson family!

Atlanta Housewives Alter Ego Pics!

Celebrity Photographer Derek Blanks

Derek Blanks was nice enough to show us his alter ego pics on twitter tonite, so here they are, arent they lovely! He takes my pics for editorials and he does excellent work! The ladies pics came out very nice but some like Kim’s was no surprise. They should have had her as a country singer or something like that. I also didnt like Kandis alter ego, I know someone she knew was in an accident but it just didnt flow with the other ladies. I think all in all, they came out fab! Sheree to me,has always been photogenic. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her pics. Lisa’s pics were cute, but we like her on the show for being that. I would have liked to see her in a different light. NeNe’s pics was not realistic to me at all. Who strips with biker shorts on? I know she is a thick girl but come on now,shorts at a strip club? Maybe she was trying to have respect for her hubby Greg, I dont know. Check out pics below! Some photos are by Robert Long.

Kim Zolciak alter ego was fun Stepford wife meets mistress! She looks pretty!

Lisa Wu’s Hartwell’s Alter Ego was cute, loved the tough girl, good girl!

Kandis Buruss pic was a big disappointment, I liked Nene’s first idea of the wedding photos. this doesn’t flow with the other ladies.

Nene Leakes, I’m not feeling this pic because who strips with gym shorts on?

Sheree Whitfield,this is my fav pics hands down! She is a very pretty lady and very photogenic!

Which is your fav?
