Atlanta's Finest Support 'Celebration 4 A Cure' with Producer Polow Da Don

Cancer is a horrible disease that no one likes to hear about. I have two close friends who are battling breast cancer right now. For that reason, I knew that I had to go out to support the 4th annual “Celebration 4 A Cure: Where Music Meets Fashion For A Causeevent last night in Atlanta. The affair was orchestrated by Polow Da Don in conjunction with Zone 4 Inc. When I arrived, I gawked at the parking lot and the Mason Murer gallery of attendees. Others, obviously, had the same idea, too!


Cameras were flashing at the Grey Goose stations, which had rows of people in line, and the OMG Booth was filled with smiling faces taking pictures.  Vendors onsite had booths that were extremely busy, and the VIP section of seats started to fill up fast for the entertainment, award presentations and fashion show. It was hosted by socialite and blogger Bevy Smith.


The show started off with a big welcome from director Clay West, whose mom passed away from cancer, then there was a video presentation with celeb cameos about the cause and why they support it. The Bailey sisters, young effervescent entertainers, then came to the stage and belted out two songs, including Nina Simone’s, “Feeling Good.”

Next up, pint-sized divas strutted their stuff in Linda Gail’s creations. It was pinktasticly wonderful! Those little divas could walk the catwalk!  Their outfits were incredible, with tutus in bright, whimsical colors and sparkly shoes.


Other designers that showed their collections were Man vs. Machine, Tian Justman, J. Loren, Samantha Black, Bravo’s Reco Chapple, Mataano, Sachika and Kevan Hall. Awards were given out to Shanti Das, Cynthia Bailey, Devyne Stephens and designer Tian Justman, a three-time cancer survivor as part of the evening’s activities.

The night also included a very moving dance performance by praise dancers and, then, Mary Mary hit the stage and shut it down! I’m not a huge gospel fan, but they did a very good job, and everyone loved them. More fashion followed, as other designers showcased their pieces on the runway. Some of my favorites were from Man vs. Machine, with their mixtures of punk and fab separates, Kevan Hall gowns and Linda Gail’s pretty, preppy styles for kids. I would like to thank the staff of Celebration 4 A Cure and April Love for the personal invitation. It was a fun-filled evening. –tammie reed
