Adventures of the Style Diva

Can you imagine how I felt getting a FB message that said…”You have been invited to attend the premier of David Tutera’s My Fair Wedding spectacular”  WHAT!!! Oh my great gracious I was excited.  A high class event with one of my Celeb Crushes, I was there.  I stepped to the event at The Vine in Hollywood with one of my besties and her cool neighbor Nicole.  Nicole is just the cutest, she’s actually working on a new project with a satellite radio show with a well-known celeb – we’ll post more on that at another time.  So we walked in and were greeted by the event organizer Shante of 135^th Street Agency.    They are organizing promotional events for both My Fair Wedding and Braxton Family Values, what a sweet gig!  After being greeted we received media packets and were seated in seats right next to DAVID!!! 

Style Diva with David Tutera

Shortly after arriving the man of the hour arrived and had conversations with all media people at the event, he was so personable and funny.  Always ready for a good photo op too, my kinda guy.  After being served a yummy lunch (complete with FREE cocktails) David got up and talked about the new show that will premiere Sunday 11/13 on WE TV at 9 8 ET.  This show is going to have you crying people so get the Kleenex ready – I think I even have a few shots of me wiping tears away during the viewing.  Of course your StyleDiva was ready with plenty of questions to ask but the only one I was able to get out because of my starstruck mood was, “What’s next for you?”  DT, yeah I can call him that now, started to give me an exclusive but was advised not to let the cat out of the bag on a new show that’s on the horizon.  Shoot!  * snapping my fingers* BUT don’t worry I still got plenty of good buzz.  Buzz like – he is going to be featured in Bridal Guide Magazine, the first male to ever be on the cover.  But here is the neat part about that story.  He was given a sample of the spread (featuring his own wedding gown line) but he saw one thing missing – An African American bride.  After looking at the editor with that classic stare of his he told him he wasn’t doing the spread unless they change the spread to include a bride of color!  Need I say more – this man RAWKS!  By the way his bridal gown line ranges in sizes 2 – 24 because he believes that every woman deserves to be the QUEEN on her day!  I’m liking him more and more.  You all know I tried to get my plug in to model one of the fashions but he doesn’t make selections but he did give me hints on what to do to try to reach my goal – keep your eyes open!!!  Also look out for David’s line of watches being featured at Sears.

The event wrapped up and David was off to help one of the brides that is being featured on this season with a scuba lesson – watch out for that one.  It was superb to meet David and a few other media personalities at the event, nothing like a little smooshing.  Stay tuned because this StyleDIVA is ready to keep the adventures going, what could be next?

Thanks David, WE TV, 135th Street Agency and my bestie for the FAB invite!  Be sure to watch David in My Fair Wedding tonight on WE, check your local listings for time one their website www.WETV.com.
