It’s Christmas time Madea style

May 13, 2011

Tyler Perry is back on the circuit with his latest installment of his uber-popular character Madea, as she brings in the Christmas spirit as only she can.

The stage play, A Madea Christmas,  is running from May 13th-14th at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta and promises to deliver.

Believe it or not, this is my first Tyler Perry stage play. A BIG shocker, right? It’s true. I’m a huge fan of his movies and DVD’s so I guess that makes up for it to some degree. 😀 Although I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing any of his plays in person, Mr. Perry can be assured that I will be in attendance at his next….front row!

The play showcased a new lineup of characters along with Tyler’s veteran cast of actors from his hit movies and TV sitcoms. The incomparable Mr. Brown (David Mann), and the lovely Cora (Tamela Mann) were both in rare form as they delivered their signature back-and-forth banter. Of course with this lineup of characters you know that the play was chock-full of laughs and surprises. But, the biggest surprise was delivered by Tyler when he announced that the show was being taped for DVD release. Yippee!!!

So look for it soon, and, if you see me in the midst of the packed house be sure to let me know….a girl can dream can’t she!?.

Nikka Shae and Teyana Taylor....FAB!!!

Last month the GlamBar rolled out the “pink” carpet and got all glammed up; literally. Teyana Taylor hosted the event that had Peters St. jumping!

D. Woods, Sean Garrett, Elite, and Mika Means were just some of the celebs that came out to show Sabrina, the salon owner, and the rest of her team some love.

When I walked into the GlamBar I was in total awe and amazement, and right within my element. I instantly felt like a kid in a candy store. Maybe it was because of the delicious candy displays set up all over the place… or maybe it was the pink floors which reminded me of bubble gum. Either way, a sugar rush was definitely headed my way…and fast! The ambiance was very fun and girlie; it was definitely a place to relax and have a good time. Did I say “relax” and “good time” in the same sentence as if there was such a thing? Well at the GlamBar there is!

When I arrived at Saks I was greeted with music by a DJ, lite bites to nibble on, bubbly champagne, and cookies shaped like fabulous shoes by the artisans at Cookie Creations of Atlanta.

And last but not least a talented sketch artist captured highlights of the event in colored-pencil.

I also had the opportunity to meet and chat with the Shoe Department Manager in Saks who explained to me how the Manolo Blahnik Chinchilla Pump was created and how exited they were to have this line in their stores.

Ok all you shoe fanatics, stop by Saks Fifth Avenue at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead to get a little slice of shoe heaven; and tell em Nikka Shae sent ya! (I’ve always wanted to say that :D)
