Johnny Wright has styled everyone, including first lady Michelle Obama. He recently chatted with model, Melyssa Ford about style at Family Dollar Fabulous.
How are you?
I’m wonderful
You having fun today?
I’m having a great time. We’re shooting the cover for the magazine outside.
What? So that’s why you’re all glammed up?
Honey, I don’t just walk out this way. Maybe on Saturdays but not Monday through Friday.
I thought this was just your normal thing that you just come out looking amazing. The event is called Fabulous.
It is fabulous but this is very “Gone with the Wind” fabulous.
Here we go Kenya.
I’m sorry, it was a clever catch phrase.
It was.
I am guilty.
So you are shooting the cover as we speak?
Yes, we are shooting the cover and it’s the most interesting cover shoot I’ve ever done in my life where we incorporated a cover shoot inside of an event. We’ve got the bloggers here. We’ve got magazines here. It’s just … I don’t know we’re killing a lot of birds with just one stone today.
You look amazing? What are some of the things that have piqued your interest here. So many amazing products here, so much stuff to learn about, so much education. What have you learned?
Well I haven’t been to that side of the room just yet, but everything on this side of the room is products I’ve grown up using or have discovered by way of spending hours upon hours in drug stores like Duane Reade and Rite Aid. Like Cantu, I just found them a few years ago so Dark & Lovely has been in my medicine cabinet for as long as I can remember. These are staples in every black woman’s home. It’s a recurring thread throughout our lives.
I’m really glad you said that because Dark & Lovely has been number one when it comes to at home relaxer kits and hair color to give you that salon quality result at home. That’s why we’re really excited to be here today. That’s one thing about Family Dollar, they find a way to make ends meet. They give you great quality products but at an affordable rate. And that’s what’s so cool about today. It’s about community and giving.
