You know the best type of events? The events that really don't have any huge expectations but end up knocking you off your feet. The VH1 show Single Ladies held its launch party at Jeffrey's in Phipps Plaza on Saturday, May 21st (doomsday to some).
I did my usual evening window shopping stint through the mall on Wednesday and passed by the huge sign, tagged Champagne Shopping event. Two words every lady loves to hear. Champagne. Shopping. On a Saturday evening! Oh my gosh, how can I contain myself. I invited my girlfriend to come along and she agreed mainly for the opportunity to meet Lisa Raye, going as far as calling the store to confirm. Me, just so I could window shop but this time with alcohol.
If you don't know Jeffrey's know this, their window displays are always superb. They make you wish upon a lucky star for the day when you can afford to dress like that and more. It's my day dream window. On some nights, especially Sunday nights, with the long week ahead of me, I stroll through the mall and stare at certain window displays while I commiserate with my thoughts. Some windows are just okay. Nothing to sneeze over, but Jeffrey's, superb. Always Fabulous!

So back to the event. It was so cool (excuse me while I use a lame word to describe a well-planned social event). From the professional greeting upon entry to the servers, to the hors d'oeuvres, to the very fashionable crowd, to the free flowing champagne which they kept flowing all evening, to the grande entrance of our lady of honor, Lisa Raye, who had no airs about her, stopping to take pictures and videos with everyone who stood by her. I did not see her with any "people" to deter her from the adoring fans, my friend inclusive. She was just gracious and charming. Made me a fan. And if I only had VH1, I would watch the premiere of her show on May 30th. Here's hoping the show is as good as the event.
This wasn't a Me, solo event but it was a darn good one.
