Baltimore Fashion Week 2011



I'm so excited to be attending and covering this years Baltimore Fashion Week. After meeting and sitting down  with event's executive director, Sharan Nixon to discuss whats in store for this years fashion show has me anticipating its success. Back in January, Nixon announced that she was moving the event back to Baltimore after holding it at the Sheraton Baltimore North in Towson. This years show will be held in Harbor East. This is the type of location that Nixon had in mind from the first launch of the event. The event is said to feature a 16,000-square-foot tent similar to the ones used at the famed Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.



 Also, the man with the "Golden Voice" Ted Williams will be hosting the event. Williams signed a contract Tuesday morning that has him announcing designers live each day of the four-day event. Williams will  also do radio spots and attend promotional events associated with Baltimore Fashion Week, which runs Aug. 18-21.

NO more LEOTARDS! #beyonce



Now we love us some Fab Beyonce, but enough is enough. The LEOTARDS need to get packed up and shipped out. We have seen enough already for Bey. With her taking a break from her music career when she decided to come back I thought her look would have at least been revamped. Boy was I wrong. Beyonce is definitely FAB and can come up with another signature look.

When is too MUCH!



I have loved Toni Braxton since 1993 when her self-titled debut album was released. I have always thought Toni to be a beautiful woman even after her first trips under the knife. But there's a time when we must all step back and say enough is enough. Looking at Toni nowadays she has taken plastic surgery was too far. Not as far as..lets say Lil Kim but things are looking a little disproportionate lately. Toni has worn everything from bad makeup and cheap looking lace-front weaves. This is not the Toni I remember. I just hope things get back in order for this FAB mom and the DIVA returns.

Before: GREAT


NOW: BAD MAKEUP
NOW: BAD LACE FRONT
