Celebration of Soul with VH1 Divas Live

This week I was so over booked, suffering from a lack of time and being sleep deprived. Jam packed by holiday parties, work, friends and events nonstop. I made it work and enjoyed every moment especially ending on the best note...Divas Live! Even though we had an unseasonably warm November here in NYC, that is no longer the case. #HelloDecember. My friend and I waited a couple hours before getting inside to see the show. Luckily we were able to get wristbands that guarantee entry, so we left got something to eat and resumed our place in line. Even with that break indoors my toes were already going numb from the cold, not to mention my 4in heels that should have been flats lol. As the line started to move and progress became more and more visible, we made our way to the Hammerstein Ballroom entrance. The picture above was taken right after I made it inside. We quickly made our way to the stage and secured a prime time spot! The feeling in my toes were coming back and music was playing to get the crowd hype. Celebrities were beginning to arrive and you could start seeing them in the balcony. Like Common, Emily (Love & HipHop), Mob Wives, etc... I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be there. It's crazy to be somewhere and see people you only see on tv. Being sort of new to NYC that feeling is still frequently reoccurring for me. Everything here seems to be out of a movie, news or in magazines. Back to the show...I had a great time everyone sounded fantastic (no lip syncing)! Soooo many people were there Florence from Florence and the Machine who opened the show followed by Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Estelle, Travis McCoy, Jessie J, Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, Common, Nas, Terrence Howard, Chaka Khan, Jill Scott, Masha Amberose, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Boyz II Men, LaLa Vasquez and many more. It was a dream. Sad that its over and followed by Monday morning...c'est la vie.

Hope you enjoy the pics!!
