Yes, Curtis 50 cent Jackson sure does have the Power. Yesterday 50 cent came out to Macy’s at Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody,Ga to promote his new fragrance, Power. I must say that I really liked the way it smelled. I was a lil disappointed that I missed the press conference he did with the media before all the mayhem took place. I was told from listening to some of my friends that you had to purchase the cologne in order to get a pic with him. Wow the colognes 1.7 bottle went for 50.50 and the 3.4 bottle was 68.50. This new fragrance is sold exclusively at Macy’s. They also have some great Power gift sets that include 3.4 oz Eau De Toilette, 3.4 oz Aftershave tonic for $68.50/116 value.

Some people had two or three bottles in hand. I was like wow, they are huge fans or they are doing some early Christmas shopping. My husband had the opportunity to smell the fragrance and he liked it too. I may have to get it for him lol.50 looked oh so lovely in his suit too! I love a guy that smells good,have nice teeth and nice shoes.My grandma taught me that lol.

The line was wrapped around Macy’s a couple of times and fans had 50′s latest book, tshirts and other memorabilia to get signed by him. I thought he was very charming and had a great smile. 50 is a great business man and I loved how he had his cologne priced at $50.50 and $68.50, only 50 could pull that off,great marketing, who does that!

Later on that day 50 cent was having an exclusive movie screening of his Directorial Debut called, “Before I Self Destruct” that was held at Movies ATL. I was unable to make it but I know it went well. Good luck to this handsome young entrepreneur! His new album, Before I Self Destruct drops Nov 9th.

Ludacris

Last night Ludacris held a benefit for Mayoral candidate Kasim Reed. There is only about a week or so before we know who will be the new mayor of Atlanta. Ludacris held the benefit at his swanky restaurant Straits last night and lots of supporters and political folks filled the room. Chaka(Luda’s mgr) and Ludacris said a couple of words about Kasim and how they met him and wanted to support him in his race for mayor.

I’m not a very political person at all and you hardly see me posts things on this subject matter, but I really enjoyed broadening my horizons and learning about politics. I cant vote for Kasim Reeed because I dont live in the city of Atlanta but I wish him luck!

I can see Luda now doing some great things for the city of Atlanta because as Kasim Reed stated in his speech, Luda is Atlanta.I see him growing older with gray hairs and maybe running for a government position, you never know what the future holds lol. I mingled with some key power leaders in Atlanta at the party. I met Kasim Reed’s brother Carlton who’s a Professional Development Consultant and Mr. Reed’s Media coach, Vic Bolton owner of Capital Strategic Communications Group.

Kasim Reed talked about The Ludacris Foundation and how he opened a community center back up and now the kids are happy to have a place to play and learn. He also talked about a lil girl that was happy to show the state of the art computer room to Kasim on his tour of the center.  Reed says,” It’s time for new leadership and a new direction”.

Thanks for the personal invite and dont forget to vote on Nov 3, Atlantans!
