BET'S RIP THE RUNWAY 2009

Hey Fiends!!! So yesterday your number one Fiend Fabulously hit the streets of NY and attended BET's Rip the Runway 2009. For those of you who don't know Rip the Runway is an event that BET produces that combines fashion and entertainment in the most fabulous way!! BET recognizes up and coming and trailblazing African American designers, stylist, and models all to the sounds of the latest and hottest music artist. It was a fabulous event and yours truly had all the access....

The entertainment was great while the fashion was just OK. I wasn't in love, nor did I absolutely hate what came down the runway, but I always can appreciate the efforts and hard work of every designer, as I personally know how much work goes into creating something you love and hope everyone else will too. I loved the swim suit collection, as it was fabulously designed and added some chicness to tiny pieces of cloth!!! Love it!!! I may be bias but my absolute favorite part was called Fashionista Recessionista...The name fabulously speaks for it's self!!! My fashion fairy God Mother June Ambrose, I Absolutely Love Her...No Seriously, and a few up and coming stylist, mixed high end with low end, I live by this rule, to create budget conscious fabulous ensembles all under $200!!! Gotta Love it!!!

So.. I gave up my VIP seats to stand with the crowd, luckily I had on my Steve Madden boots they didn't hurt a bit, to get all my fiends a great view of the show!!! You love me I know!!! Look below to see pics and video clippings of the show... FYI I am no professional photographer so I don't have professional equipment!!! Work with your girl... I tried!! lol


June and Joy....check June shoes.....she told me they were seven inches... Gotta love her!! Definitely love her dress as well!!!! Joy's fitted leather pants are sick...I was confused about that top though...just wasn't fabulous enough


Cast of Harlem Heights... A new reality show about four girls and guys following their dreams in NYC, the story of us all. June Ambrose is the stylist so I'll definitely be watching!! Coming to BET in March!


Joy Bryant and Derek Luke....Derek announced he's introducing his own line, join the celebrity club, The shirt he's wearing is part of the collection...I got one!!!Can't wait to see how that unfolds...
Korto and I, finalist from Project Runway Season 5, showed her collection and I liked it!!!! She was definitely my choice to win the show that season.....and I'm still trying to figure out what happened.......um......anyway, she was a sweet heart!!!


OOH...That's just yours truly and my bff CME...thanks girl for your production skills!!
OK so I'm working on uploading the videos...I can't figure it out exactly...stay tuned and check back...

All and all it was a Fabulous event, lots of fun, filled with Fashion Fiends and you know your girl was networking like crazy!! After the show we hit the after party and after the after party.... I went home and went to bed!!! HA
