Go D.J!!! Introducing Ry Ry

I am extremely excited about the information I am releasing in today's blog for a number of reasons. First off because auntie Maui love the kids. Secondly because I Salute and respect good parenting. Lastly because Albany Fashion Week has a new edition to the family.  I recently worked with Ms. Sharmekia Brooks on the set of a photo shoot, during the shoot we chatted back and forth.  Being the proud mother's that we are, we talked about our children and their accomplishments.Like myself, Sharmekia is a single mother but that has never hindered her from being the best mom and giving her daughter the roots and wings she needs to exceed life's expectations. As soon as she told me about the things her daughter was doing,my wheels started turning.  I begin talking to Charlie Hill about the direction that she was going in for AFW2K13's kid show. Per conversations with both Charlie and Sharmekia, I am honored to present to you, the offical
D.J. of AFW2K13's kid show, D.J. Ry Ry!!!

ALBANY FASHION WEEK UPDATE

The creators of AFW 2K13 have been working on the brand since the end of the last event.  Last year laid down a strong foundation, which means that this years is guaranteed to be EPIC!  The wheels of production have officially started turning and from now until the last light goes out you can expect nothing but the best.   In addition to all of the traditional components of AFW, the finale event will be a huge hair show and hair battle.  This event will be held on Sunday September 23, 2013.  I am personally excited about this event because in my opinion hair and makeup play a huge role in fashion. They are to fashion, as jewelry  is to clothing. Honestly, what good is a fly outfit when your hair is looking bad? Although we know that this is not the case with any of you we want to make sure you are able to see,appreciate and Learn what is new in hair and where you can go to get the look that you want.
