Be it songs or poetry, vocal art moves me in a major
way. I can give countless accounts of
hearing songs in church that moved me to tears, even when the word of the
pastor didn't. I just love the emotion
and expression that comes with singing and spoken word. That is why, I can honestly say that I am
already a huge fan of the certified Phat Girl; Grande. I recently met her in Columbus at the Rock
and Roses hair and fashion show. Before
I had the chance to witness her gifts, I was pulled in by her amazing
personality. However, when she took the
stage; I was just like “those wolves”, I cried “GRANDE’!” To continue reading this article, pictures and video click the link http://www.phatgirlfresh.com/#!fresh-life/cute
Sherrie Walters-Aaron and the Cover Me Gorgeous team hosted
a hair and fashion show in Columbus Georgia on Sunday, November 17, 2013. I must admit, I was not sure what to expect
because I have attended quit a few shows and some of them were garbage. Maybe garbage is too harsh of a word but it
is exactly what I mean. LOL!!!!!!
When I arrived at the venue, the setup was great!!! Things looked very nice and classy. The V.I.P area was actually a nice exclusive
setup with labeled tables and gift bags.
The runway was long and elevated so that the general admission audience
was able to enjoy the show as well. The
vendors were aligned so that as you entered you had to pass them which is
extremely important. Another plus was
that the show actually started on time, which is very rare.
Although I think that the host (rapper Rasheeda) and her co
host could have done a better job of keeping the momentum going, the D.J was
the bomb.com. I don’t know if he was
given a playlist but he kept the energy high.
Whoever was in charge of the show’s
order did a good job of spacing things so that the experience was enjoyable. The fashions were okay, but I must admit I expected
a little more from Columbus. What I
loved most was the performance by songbird Tocarra and the Cover Me Gorgeous
Curves segment. Before the scene was
introduced, poet Grande blessed the crowd with a poem that celebrated the
beauty of PHAT GIRLS. I LOVED
IT!!!!! This is something I have been
trying to incorporate into a show for the longest time. From the time Grande walked off the stage the
energy was high and I was pleased to see one of the Faces of Fresh, Erica Elise
WERKING!!!!
During her closing remarks, I recall Sherrie saying that
this was her first event. That was a
surprise to me because she did something that a lot of fashion show vets can’t
do. She put on a successful show without
incident and it was standing room only.
She also announced that she will be having another event in April. I am excited because I think that I am going
to inquire about having PHAT GIRL FRESH be a part of the event. HATS OFF TO SHERRIE WALTERS-AARON, YOU
ROCKED!!!!! TO VIEW MORE PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT CLICK THE LINK BELOW
