Guess who is going to the BET Awards 2011?????? *raises hand* I AM I AM! Last Tuesday, I won an all expenses paid trip to the BET Awards for me and 1 guest of choice. That’s right. ALL expenses paid! Flight, Hotel, Show, AND transportation. 3 days, 2 nights. Who will I be taking? Erin @ rawemag.org! We are very very excited. I was screaming when I found out I won on Twitter. I always wanted to go to the award show, ever since I was a preteen! Lol I remember seeing B2K on there and wishing I was there. Now I will be…. minus B2K.. but who the heck cares?!
The Hotel? Oh… The Luxe City Center!
The show will be taking place on Sunday, June 26th in Los Angeles! Woooooohoooooo!!!!! If any of you are going, please do share I do not know what exactly to expect. I will know more details as soon as I am given the info. Dress? Check (I think) SHOES (Check!!!!!)….. wait. I think I need 2 dresses! ANYWAYS. I’m stoked!!!! What a GREAT surprise graduation present. Can’t wait to share my experience with you all and promote Vibrant Doll to the fullest!
Last month I got to go to a super cool event held by NASA (yes, space and rocket ships) called Yuri’s Night. It was having a really cool artist line up like N*E*R*D and Common and I was just like – I NEED to be there. So I got my press passes and went on my way. It was a lot of fun. Tons of interesting people dressed up in awkward costumes like fairies, hobbits, scientists, aliens, and much more. I almost felt weird dressing regular. But anywho, they had some pretty cool exhibits and what not- but I was more concerned about the PERFORMANCES! Yeah!
Pharrell was looking… very…. -keeps to self- He’s hot!

So yea – my Common pictures weren’t as GREAT as my N*E*R*D pictures. And see, well – #1 I need some super crazy zoom lens that’s like – a whole lot of money. & #2 well, we were definitely NOT that close. There was mad people in front of us. I’m only 5’1 so I was basically jumping and standing on my tipy toes to take some of these pictures as well as being smashed by the people behind me. It was yucky standing in that crowed. I don’t see why those with press passes weren’t able to stand next to the stage for this half. They had put these dividers between the audience and the stage after they saw how people crowded around the stage for N*E*R*D. Whack! But overall – I had a really fun time. I’m going to create a flickr account sometime this week and upload all my pics from every event and concert I go to for everyone to see! But I cannot wait to see N*E*R*D again.

VIBRANT “DOLL” OF THE WEEK!
Name: Tamara SheĆ” Occupation: Graphic Design Student Blog URL:Daily Make Up Booth Three words to describe yourself:
kaleidoscopic, creative, inspiring. What Makes You A Doll?
I believe what makes me a doll, is that I am not afraid to be different. I am a box of differences packed into one! My hometown is pretty drab and full of similarities. However, I stand out not only in my race & culture, but my dress, persona, and how I carry myself. I am ME and I love it!
