24 Jun Essence Music Festival Event – Best Dressed Madame

I’m so excited to announce I’ll be hosting an event during this year’s Essence Music Festival. I had a blast year {check out one of my style posts from NOLA}, so I had to return for the 2013 festivities for a little R&R and to celebrate my birthday.

My girl Carmen of Lipstick Fashion Mascara and I will be the MC’s for Best Dressed Madame on Wednesday, July 3 at the Dauphine Orleans Hotel.

Dauphine’s bar, May Baily’s Place, used to be a brothel so we’re sticking to the cheeky theme with specialty drinks, fashion and beauty giveaways and even a mega prize for the woman who earns the title of best dressed. You don’t have to come dressed in a madame costume, but just put your best foot forward and show us what you’ve got { maybe with a cute pair of heels, feather accents, high slits or a glam-tastic look you’d be proud to show off}. The winner receives a free night’s stay at the historic Dauphine Hotel.

Attendees will walk away with a gift bag thanks to our amazing sponsors, which include Foot Petals, Shea Moisture, Sashay Boutique, Nene’s Secret, Pop Chips and Cordina drinks.

And throughout the night we’ll be raffling off select prizes {including a $100 Kohl’s gift card}. Raffle tickets are just $1 each and all of the money benefits a New Orleans charity, Covenant House.

If you plan on being in New Orleans during Essence Fest, I hope you’ll join us and get the 3-day festival started off right.

Be sure to RSVP for Best Dressed Madame here!
