Baltimore Fashion Week Launch Party Recap (07/19/2012)

Guest arriving

I started to write this while I am still at the party because I thought I should share what I've seen tonight before I forget everything in the morning. The rain was trying to ruin this event but failed to curve the intention of enjoyment of the evening.  The excitement and enthusiasm exuded through the entire event. Sharan Nixon CEO of Baltimore Fashion Week has done it again, so if you missed it you won't know what to expect from Fashion Week this year. Can any event be more fluid than when you're at the aquarium?  I think not.  I was very happy to see what the National Aquarium in Baltimore had to offer as far as events go, this was my first at the location, in fact I don't think I have been to this aquarium since I was in grade school and that was years ago - mind your business you don't need to know how many.  

Dance Floor

The BFW staff held down the dance and just about forced everyone to dance (Thanks Antoine) but that wasn't needed 'cause DJ Big Dave held it down on the music as usual and Miss Mama controlled the room on the mic. You could tell cause when you heard your favorite song the crowd would erupt and head to the dance floor.

I was so mad to hear that I missed one of the most proud moments of the night and that was the recognition by the City of Baltimore to Baltimore Fashion Week for 5 years of successful production.  Sharan that's what hard work and determination will get you every time.  That goes to show they see you!  Congratulations.

Door prizes

I missed several things, darn you rain.  They gave away the door prizes before I arrived too.  Next time I will plan better, check the weather and add second outfit to the car - just in case.  Needless to say that there was torrential down pour this night that ruined plans and attendee outfits.  I had to return home and change clothing and then make my way back to the event. OK moving on...

OK let me get this over with, I need to add something that I have seen happening at a few events this year and in the past,   as the lace-front gets more and more popularity people continue to apply the direction for application incorrectly. I am not calling any names but you know who you are and I only report what I see and I am not a phony person so I have to call it like I see it. When you know you maybe attending a high energy event,  maybe you should take a second to re-think your choice of hair do.   I mean, just the simple fact that maybe taping your wig to your face may not be the right look after all. Get it, adhesive doesn't stick when wet, maybe you need a different application method. 'Cause once that tape lifts and it looks like your doing a commercial for Scotch tape then your night should be over, no more partying.

That's was just my commentary, please don't allow me to dismay you from being you.  Put your best foot or adhesive forward.

All in all, I enjoyed myself and everyone else seem to likewise.  So I am prepared for the next shindig.

The next event starts August 17th at the Pikesville Hilton for Baltimore Fashion Week. I am so ready for this...  Do you have your tickets yet?  Get your tickets at http://www.baltimore-fashionweek.com

Guest meeting up with the staff

Business as usual.

The night was over BFW staff cool down mode.

VIDEO: K. FIELDS - TRUE LOVE

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Baltimore's K. Fields just released a new video and apparently he is with a new Entertainment division too. So what's in store for this man? Well from the words that appear on his facebook page, "I stand tall so I don't trip off other ppl feelings....Ur takin it personal I'm takin it as business we were never friends to begin wit....". 

Well we get further into that at a later date but today the debut of his new video was released. It's good too and professional, his personality is shining right through, especially when he is being his joke driven self. Apparently, not just from the title he has found true love, who is it Mr. Fields?

Check out the video below, oh yeah ladies he is shirtless and in a bath tub in it too... LOL!

 

VIDEO: Mary J. Blige - Don't Mind

My girl MJB is bringing another cut from her latest CD My Life II: The Journey continues... Do you have the CD? This song the video is reflecting is one of my favorites, its called "Don't Mind". In the video, I can see all kind of similarities between the current Mary and the Mary from the My Life era in some of the looks in the video. Well speak for yourself, check it out below:

Beyonce and Blue Ivy Carter Uncovered...

Why is Jaydee about to "GO OFF"?

Today marks the newest video release from Baltimore's own Jaydee. The new video called "Go Off" is all her... no features and no guests. It's pleasantly surprising. I like it Jaydee. Produced by Shocker G, this video is real, but see for yourself. Check it out:

Independence Day Celebration anyone?

For those that didn't know tonight's Indenpendence Day Celebrate is from 4pm - 10pm downown at Baltimore's Inner Harbor.  There is live music and great food/drink.

The fireworks displays will begin at 9:30pm.

Will you be in attendance?

Why not underground BGE?

That's a good question Baltimore Sun, and one that I have always wondered about our state - from the torrential rains to the winter blizzards... Why aren't the power lines under ground - that's where cable thrives. So what would be the difference? One difference would be there wouldn't be down power lines threatening thousands with power outages and killing the innocent from them falling to the ground. So BGE or whoever your owned by, what's the big fix? Don't you spend a lot more money cleaning up behind these kind of occurrences and you really don't have the man power to continue this way without threatening the people with a rate increase. So, what gives???
