Ok guys, this is going to be a long post of photos because yesterday evening, I was invited out to cover the red carpet for Tyler Perry’s studio grand opening! It was a star-studded affair, omg! I have never been to anything like this in the South and everyone that was in attendance showed up and showed out! The carpet was amazing with fresh red roses scattered throughout the facility and on the backdrop, so pretty!
The celebrities looked amazing dressed to the nines and talked to ALL the media on the carpet. You felt like you were very special, at least that is how I felt. The energy was exhilarating and it made you feel good inside and out. Please check out some of my snaps I got on the carpet but a full recap will be posted tomorrow. I just made it to Chicago this morning, so I’m a bit worn out from having a long night and then had to get up at the crack of dawn to travel. Enjoy the pics and check back tomorrow. Love you guys and thanks to Tyler Perry and his staff for inviting me out, I had an amazing time.
