Fashion Forward

Last night I had the opportunity to attend a fashion show for an up and coming designer by the name of Jason Christopher Peters. The night was full of Fun, Fashion, and Friends. The event was coordinated and promoted by Urban Gypsy and it was held at the Empire Hotel at the rooftop lounge, located on 63rd and Broadway. 

My invite came by way of Murdakkh, the up and coming Hip hop artist from Bergen county, New Jersey. You may remember him from the review that I did on his album "The Warm Up." Murdakkh has been doing big things since I last blogged. He will be opening for Ice T's Birthday on February 15th in New York. Kudos to him for his future and success.  Also in attendance was Luey P Newton. Another up and coming rapper from the TriState Area and J Smilez, the owner of a music management and production company named "Tru Soul".

This show was an opportunity for me to watch the skinny fierce bitches in action working the runway. I love fashion. I love watching runway and I love anything new. I caught myself walking with a little extra sway in my hips last night in my Vince Camuto spiked studded heels. The show was dedicated to the styling of Rihanna. I was really excited to see Jason Christopher Peters' line. Unfortunately, I did not see anything that would look sexy in a size 12. But no worries, it was still uber fab

The house was packed during the show. I heard there were models, directors, and video vixens in the crowd amongst the regular folks. Everyone seemed pretty cool or maybe it was the two drinks that I had that made me think so. Either way, I had a good time. I took some photos of the show with my phone. So to my photographer friends, please don't judge me. These bitches were moving fast. Like they had a match in their ass and they had to fart. So some of my pictures are a tad bit blurry. There was one Model in particular who worked the shit out of the runway. I do not know her name. I will call her Emeraldina. She wore the emerald green visor and bustier. I am not saying the other models didn't work it. Cause they did. But she rocked the runway as if she knew her pussy smelled of roses and her shit was made of Gold. I loved every minute of it.

The designer seemed really nonchalant. He rocked a woody wood pecker hoody and  bandana on his head. I glanced at him from time to time during the show. He stood at the base of the runway biting his knuckle from time to time. The rest of the time he stood with his hands in his pocket as if hoping for the approval from the audience. I could see the butterflies build but once Emeraldina hit that runway his demeanor changed from nervous little boy to confident designer. At the end of the show the applause was real and he was all smiles.

Below are some of the photos that were taken. There were more models, unfortunately I wasn't to catch all of them. I hope you enjoy. I did.
