Sapphire Social

[VIDEO RECAP] Special thanks to Nikki Walker PR for inviting msBOMB.com out to the No Wire Hangers Trios Fashion Show in Atlanta earlier this month. I have been to my share of Atlanta fashion shows, but the BE Magazine staff did a phenomenal job with the selection of everyone from the designers to the models and the performers. Mimi Faust of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta served as the MC for the evening and brought along a few of her fellow cast mates to partake in the evening. Although Mr. “Steebie” J stayed just long enough to show Mimi a little love and land a hug, “Prince” Scrappy stood along the sidelines to watch his daughter Imani and beau Erica grace the runway in pieces by Women’s Wear designer AVNAH.

Diabetes can be hereditary, "but as the saying goes, genes load the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger". The magic in this statement is that the Power is in our Hands, or better yet, our grocery cart. Instead of the usual oh so tantalizing yet unhealthy snack...

What is true love?  This is definitely an open ended question because it depends on who is asked.   Some may say it’s the things a couple can provide for one another financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.   Others may say say it’s the loving look or the soft touches that’s exchanged between the two.   It can also be argued it's all of those things combined plus some.   On Tuesday, as I watched and listened to President Obama accept another term, I hung onto his every word.   Suddenly, I felt an instant chill as he addressed his lovely wife with the following words: “To Michelle: Let me say this publicly. I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder of watching the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's First Lady.” The way his eyes lit up and the passion in his voice touched my heart.   Over the past four years, we have watched the soft embraces exchanged by the lovely couple and heard the loving words...
