The Roo-Shane & Shawn Shoe launch kicked off at Toy in New York City and I had a blast.  Shane & Shawn were dressed to kill and ready to greet their guests.  It was a night of double vision because Shane & Shawn weren’t the only set of celebrity twins.  Hosts Nina Sky and the ever-so-edgy Coco and Breezy were also in attendance.  Belvedere and Moet provided the complimentary drinks for the night while DJ David Katz mixed it up on the ones and two’s. Read more about our exclusive event coverage and see flicks from the launch after the break!

Darryl Dwayne On Red Carpet At "Incomplete" Film Premier

Morning family I know that it's been quite a while since my last post but sooooooo many good things have transpired since then.  With that being said my schedule had been super packed so I wasn't able to share with you all my experiences as I would have liked! So now I guess I'm kind of playing catch-up.  Well, for those who follow my blog you would have been aware that I was contracted out to be the director of costume and design for the Indie Film Incomplete a while back and we just recently had the first red carpet movie premier.  

Darryl Dwayne And Bravo's Chef Roble "The King Of Food Porn"

Bravo's Chef Roble with Darryl Dwayne 

Well, you know how they say you can't trust everything you see on reality T.V?  That is the complete untruth when it  comes to Chef Roble & Co. because what you see is exactly what you get.  I got the opportunity to experience the, "Roble Effect" first hand and it was far more then I could have ever expected. 

One Of Chef Roble's Custom Dishes 

I like to consider myself a foodie.  I'm from the South and a big part of who we are being from the South revolves around food.  Food especially in family units with people of color is used to show each other just how much we care for one another.  I come from a background where if you truly love someone then the best thing you can do is slave over a hot stove and pour out all of your love into a southern style smorgasbord and let your loved one's have at it.

Soaps.com Presents FASHION & STYLE Interview with Tobias Truvillion!

Morning Family I hope that these up and down temps that are continually hammering the states hasn't completely caused a huge upset in you winter wardrobing! 65 degrees one moment and then 30 below the next with a chance of snow has all of us totally unsure on what season we are in! Speaking of temps I do know of a place where the climate is always Hot and Steamy! A place where beautiful people live and theres more drama then a Maury Povich show! Good guess but no it's not LA,

FASHION&STYLE~The New Wave Of TV Programing!

Good Morning Family and Friends! Do you know that Americans are some of the most plugged in grouping of people when it comes to Television? Yes, we are a country that watches its TV and can’t get enough of it according to the most recent polls! Well As I skip across the television and I bounce from channel to channel there does tend to be quite a bit going on in TV programming! TV offers every type of reality TV show one could imagine from channels totally dedicated to horror, science fiction, music, and even sex. However, even though we have the “Style Network” and “Bravo” to kind of curb our fashion interest my fellow fashion crazed familia! I still feel as if something is missing! Something like in-depth interviews with some of Hollywood’s newest and freshest faces and their take on style. Maybe even in-depth backstage access to fashion events and reels of some to the biggest names in the fashion and beauty business! How about in-depth coverage of the red carpet and focusing on how a wide varied group of artist who actively contribute to the ever-changing world of fashion! You know … not just random 4 and 5 min blurbs asking actors who hired someone to dress them anyway what they are wearing. I think we are tired of being fed fashion scraps! We want to be Nourished and have it done in one sitting versus have to watch several different shows just to feel as if we’ve acquired a full plate of fashion wholesomeness! Well family, today is that day! Today I bring to you “FASHION & STYLE,” brought to you by Robert Reynolds and Associates.
How about I give you just a small taste of what FASHION & STYLE will be bringing you in the very near future!

FASHION WITH POLISH - "REYNOLDS & ASSOCIATES, INC"

Today is all about making that investment in you as a brand and for my entrepreneurs its time to seriously invest in your companies brand marketing. A lot of us get caught up in the whimsical world of fashion. We lose ourselves as we flip through the countless pages of editorials and advertisements in magazines.We inhale the aroma of fresh retail as it rolls out to the sales floor of our favorite flagship stores and boutiques. We digest the outrages prices that are attached to the garments of our favorite designer. We do all of this without a second thought, without hesitation, totally devout to our desires of owning that new luxury branded item Gucci, Louis V, Christian Dior. Why? Well it all starts with the eyes.
