Ladies Night Out
Art Van Furniture
Shelby Township, MI
February 8th 2015
So this is a funny story. I had a casting call to be at right before Nigel’s book release of “Models of Influence”. Long story short, I got there half an hour late. The ladies at the front desk told me that I would NOT be able to see Nigel or get a signed copy of his book because they gave out all the passes! I died a little inside.
Out of the blue, an older gentlemen who worded there gave me his VIP pass. I died again. Thanks Art Van man!
While we waited for Nigel in line, we began to sweat and figure out what we were going to say him. We applied our gloss and got the cameras ready.
This was a dream come true! Nigel was such a gentlemen. He told me he liked my headwrap and that I need to blog about his book. I said, “no prob.” He even commented on my FB stat!
We got our books signed! Make sure you get a copy. It has some amazing photos of models from the 60’s to now.
I will cherish this experience 🙂

The 2nd annual Headwrap Expo
June 8, 2014
Ford Community & Performing Arts Center
Dearborn, Michigan
(Backstage with the headwrap stylists)
Zarinah El-Amin Naeem is the chief founder of the Headwrap Expo, first debuting her show last year in Dearborn with hundreds of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures coming together for several causes: interfaith relations, the art of headwrapping, and fashion. She plans to take her expo on the road to the Big Apple, New York in November.
“Beautifully Wrapped” models and the designer with her daughter.
 
I had the pleasure of working with all the models in the fashion segments, teaching them how to walk with poise and pose for the cameras like never before. I must say, I am so very proud of all of you who ‘werked’ and ‘ripped’ the runway.
Look at all of these colors and textures!
You know we had to take some selfies before my loves went on stage 🙂
One of the fab make-up artists who made magic behind the scenes.
Marketta and her sister, Jathiyah, really made the fashion segments run smoothly. They didn’t get any sleep trying to figure out the what-was-whats. Congrats to our fashion coordinators!
 It was a tiring day, but I always have time to pose.
Makeup artists, the host, models,volunteers, and the founder, Zarinah, in purple, awesome job!

Madinah planned on doing one last photo shoot for 2013. We both have learned so much about the fashion, photography, and makeup industry. So here are some photos that I styled.
I wanted to go for an edgy glamorous look that mixed prints and utilized pearls. The shades are from Forever 21 and the pearl necklace I purchased from VictoriousMe Online Boutique.
I want to give a huge shout out to Brianna of Barakah Photography who is a beast at editing!
Twirl. Twirl. Twirl.
You guys know that I am goofy!

My friend, Madinah, asked me if I’d like to model with her for Yemisi, seamstress and owner of La Bon Fabrics in Detroit. How could I oblige?
I got my makeup done by none other than the queen of beat faces, Madinah.
Our heads were wrapped by Yemisi and Zarinah El- Amin Naeem (above), author and creator of the “Beautifully Wrapped” movement, which celebrates the vast cultural world of headwrapping. She even has a cool calender she produces every year, the proceeds go to helping children in Africa.
I felt amazing in these custom made threads. The top was giving me life!
Madinah was killing her look. So regal!
Bloopers 🙂
Yaaaaaassss hunty. Makeup. On point. Headwrap. On point.
I felt like a geisha in this ensemble. The skirt was amazing.
Madinha, Zarinah, and I. If you want more information on her head wrap calenders go to http://www.beautifully-wrapped.com
The end of the day.
