As I posted last week, BET’s Rip the Runway taped this past weekend in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom.  From the pics, it looked like it was a pretty fly event – Slowly make sure you are taking notes.  Host Joy Bryant rocked some make up (yay!)  She notoriously shows at big Hollywood events completely fresh faced and thank goodness she changed it up this time and put some on.  She’s gorgeous with or without but I appreciate some glossy lips and blush every now and again.  Bryant’s co-host Derek Luke looked hot in suit and tie.  Anyhow, TI, Keri Hilson, Mavado, The Dream, Bobby V, Busta, etc performed.  Looking forward to watching it on the tube in March. 

 Check out the pics…

In just because news…BET’s annual Rip the Runway event is taking place in the NYC this Saturday, February 21^st at the Hammerstein Ballroom.  Oh how I miss NY!  Hosted by the lovely, yet no make up wearing Joy Bryant and Derek Luke the event features designers Akoo, Protégé’ and Project Runway’s Korto Momolu (yay!) and Johnny Vincent Swimwear.  They have a slew of artist on deck set to perform including TI, The Dream and gangsta for life Mavado (big up the reggae massive).  Guaranteed for fly fashion and of course fly hair – must watch.  (Anissa, I’m sure we will watch together as usual).  Hopefully I can post some new pics on Monday.
