What is Couture?

Hello my wonderful readers,

I would like to state how sorry I am for lack of posting. Now , I am back with a post for your lovely viewing pleasure. *muah* enjoy:

Last month, I went to a fashion show in the near by city of Ferndale, Michigan. It was the first Annual Lavish Couture fashion show. Now that it was the first annual, I many would turn an eye to some issues that may have came up before, during, and after the show. I tried but somethings I can not turn an eye.

     Once I arrive to the location of the fashion show, the show was held at the Rust Belt Market, there was no clear line stating which line was for people who already purchase a ticket(regular seating is $25 and VIP seating was $35) from those who were buying their tickets at the door. Once the crowd made a line for their respected ideas, one of the desired viewer of the show let it be known that she was not happy about the way the door was being manage, since the worker at the door did not have change to provide her for her purchase of the ticket. She state how she had to buy a $7 dollar piece of cake just to get change to buy a ticket. We was shown into a white inclement in the center of the market. The chairs was arrange in a triangle formation. There we were told VIP's could sit anywhere in the front row. I pick my seat in front row and wait to see what would happen next. The show was promoted to start at 6 pm, which is still during market hours of operations, yet the show did not start until after 7pm. Let it be known that we had to wait 30 minutes after 6 pm arrive before we could be seated. There where no clear sign of the start of the show.

     The MC of the show was lack luster for the lack of better words. There were microphone issues all night, and the deejay was missing his mark with the start and end of the designers shows. The live band was the best musical entertainment that night. As a VIP, along with front row seating, I receive a hookah. The hookah was set up across the room. The was no way of checking who was VIP and who was not. There was not a enough hookahs to go around so I did not partake of the hookah in which I paid for. The designers where up and coming in the fashion scene and some of their work shows that. The fashion was not my style so I would not say anything bad about the outfits, yet do to the microphone issues I was unable to hear the names of the designers. There was one store to have a spot in the show. First Lady Boutique had nice pieces yet they showed mostly prom style dress. With all I found wrong with show, I was happy to see Detroit to show other sides of it's self than music.

    The best part of the show was the introduction to a wonderful organization called Purity in Pink. It is a organization that set up young girls with mentors and tools to help improve their self esteem and self development. This is a great organization to have around for young girls today because of the bullying issue that have grown over the years. As a survivor of bullying, as a child an organization like this would have me out so much. If you want to know more about the organization go check out their site at www.purityinpink.wordpress.com and they always need more mentors.

Season of Giving

This is the season of giving and with Christmas being only 2 days away, we need to remember it's always better to give than to receive. Even when the holiday season is over, you should never stop giving. Growing up in a city known for its love of the "finer things" in life, or as some would call it "The Home of the Players". It's always nice to see the news talk about people who actually helps the community instead of people who just steal from it. Giving back is a topic that is near and dear to my heart, and I hope to show everyone how important it is to us as human beings.

One day I was watching tv, when I saw a news story about this  group of Detroiters helping people in need. Two local women Jessica Ramirez and Michelle Colon helping who ever need it. They do this all year round not just doing the holiday.  To read more of the news coverage

To all my readers, I ask that you help these two women continue their good work and families not just this season but all year round. At the bottom is a link to their facebook page where you can find out more about donations and more.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ME TO YOU *MUAH*

What do you want for Christmas????

Hello there!!! It's the seasoning of giving!! I notice a lot during this time of the year that many people are wrapped up with the whole idea of receiving a gift instead of giving.Giving can mean many things, you can spend time helping in your local communities, you can spend time at a nursing home(spread joy there cause many of the people don't have love ones who visit them), and give to the needy in your communities. There are so many different ways to give back all year around and not just around Christmas.

This is also a time to be thankful, and you should really be thankful all year long. I'm thankful for everything in my life the good and the bad. I could go on and on about what I'm thankful for, but I want to hear from you so in the comments below tell me what you're thankful for..
