African Pride’s My Pride,My Way Launch Party

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

African Pride launched their My Pride, My Way Party last night and it was filled with many people there to see what was new! The event was held at King Plow Arts Center and hosted by Americas Next Top Model Toccara and Actor Lance Gross. I saw product reviews, demos, makeup artist and more informing the audience on all the great products that they offer. I chatted with platform hairstylists that styled fab hairstyles, I talked to makeup artist and people in the crowd to see if they had ever used the products and how they felt about it. It was a night of entertainment, food, drinks and good music. OMG booth was there also to capture the fun! We also walked away with red goody bags filled with products from African Pride. Check out the pics shot by Paras Griffin and myself! Thanks to The Garner Circle for the personal invite!

A Birthday Celebration for Warren Huntley

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

The birthday guy Warren Huntley!

I experienced The Art of Wow last night at the Gold Room in Atlanta to celebrate event planner Warren Huntley‘s birthday. My friend and I walked in and the first thing we said was, oh wow. It was a great space lined with people dressed in all black mingling,drinking and ofcourse dancing. Warren looked handsome as always in his designer suit as he greeted us.

In the middle of the room were hot dancers and they were great. I loved how they had 2 sets of couples taking turns boogying to the greatest hits, some slow songs and more. I danced, had a cocktail and learned how to do the wobble lol. It was a crowded room filled with lots of party goers to support Warren’s birthday. Have fun looking at the pics and thanks to The Garner Circle and Warren for sending over the personal invite, I had a nice time!
