Does this awkward-yet-determined rapper in the polo look familiar? He should. That’s a 19-year-old Kanye West, performing at the Double Door back in the day. Always cool to see a local legend early in his career.

VS Fashion Show

Victoria’s Secret’s Fashion Show gets bigger every year and last night was no different! The angles hit the runway in custom Izquierdo Studio over the top costumes and VS langerie. This year’s show had the most African American Model’s the company has seen in years. Joan Smalls, Anais Mali, Chanel Iman, Emanuela de Paula and Lais Riberiro are just few of the Black Beauties that graced the runway. Even though it is a fashion show, most people tuned in to see the performances, as Kanye performed Stronger & N*ggas in Paris with Jay-z later in the show, and an always colorful Nicki Minaj closed the show with Super Base. I can’t wait to see what VS has in store for next year because this show set the bar pretty high!
