Erica @ Alt's Style Honors

Hey,
So you know I'm on my grind when I'm doing things that I don't normally do..... I went to the Atlanta's Fashion Honors, repping for VogueMaven.com and had a blast.... I got to interview Atlanta's elite.... (LEO MARSHALL, DARIEAL PULLIUM, DWHIGHT EBANKS, DEREK J) Stay tuned for more. I was kind've nervous so don't judge...lol I'm working on getting better.


SO GO TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ARTISTRYUNLIMITED101 TO VIEW WHO I INTERVIEWED OR GO TO WWW.VOGUEMAVEN.COM

So NOT UNPROFESSIONAL

So, Ive worked with some pretty interesting, fun, crazy, weird, awesome ppl so far in the A.... but with this blog site Im ONLY going to say the positive things instead of the negative....

Lisa Wu Hartwell- Super sweet, great energy, we had a ball @ the photo shoot that day. Would love to work with her anytime again.... Pics of that shoot are on my myspace page....www.myspace.com/artistryunlimited101 Shout out to my girl Nikki who owns Addiction Boutique in Buckhead.... I pulled some great pieces from her shop for the photo shoot. Also Micheal Antonio shoes, in LA, hooked me up..... Also my girl Crystal Wooward, hooked me up with some fabulous dresses that day........www.HeadbangerAccessories.com also showed love with their one of a kind earring designs that Lisa loved. Thanks to the team behind the scenes that made that photo shoot what it was...

The 54- These group of guys were supppppppppper fun to work with. First of all let me say that they were that first African American rock band that Ive ever worked with. However they are going places and doing it big. Pics will be up soon.

Dominique from ANTM (Americas Next Top Model)- So for Dom, I pulled some hauttttttttte items from designer Brain Reyes. LOVE HIS LINE!!!! So sick. google him if u not up on it. Hes it. But back to Dominique, she was just a great poser!!! She gave it to the camera...lol.. She brought the clothes to life. Nuff said.

PS. Thank you Derek Blanks for making that photo shoot such a wonderful experience for me. U are truly one of the best photographers...period. I was just blessed to be working with you.

Bobby (Celebrity Barber)- Ok ladies and gentlemen its time to step our game up. Bobby just did an event called "Make over Atlanta Day" I was so happy to have helped out @ that event doing Make-up. Giving back to the people of Atlanta all for freeeeeeeeeeeeee. Yep you heard it right. FREE. I was in the building with some of the BEST barbers, hairstylist and nail tech in the building. I was in there doing FULL FACES of Make-up for the city of Atl. The hairstylist were in there doing fulllllll head weaves, cuts, braids, the workssssss. Shout out to Me Me, she was next to me the whole time keeping me laughing. Also Mc. Razor and Mo Diddy were in the building showing ppl how power couples can get it together. She was doing hair and he was cutting hair. Killin it. The DYNAMIC DUO.... I LOVE THEM.

Shout out to KMB Marketing.... They are the company that does all my marketing. Miss you Kesh.... Look them up. Pls check out their blog site.

Lastly BUT NEVER LEAST.....My lil boo/ brother from another mother..... Leon. Such an inspiration. Check this: he is a 18 year old designer/ boutique owner. KILLLLLLLIN IT N THE FASHION GAME. He is such a gooooooooooo getter. Shining on them period. Keep watching him get it. I'm just so happy for everything that he is doing and GOD is in control. No one can kill this movement that we are in. I got u boooooooo. love ya, big sis Erica.

Now there has been other people that Ive worked with here in Atl, but though experiences haven't been all pleasant... :( you guys know who u are, and we will leave it like that. Im going to stay shining. EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, HAD TO HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR THIS GRIND QUEEN CAN NOT BE STOPPED.
