Silk Falsetto, color block and mesh

Dress from 15DollarStore.com

Last night I attended the birthday event, cannot call it a party, of my pal and radio personality Yasmin Young of  the No Limit Larry and the Morning Maddhouse Show on CBS radio station Power 98 FM.   Unfortunately, I was plagued by a nagging cold :(... So I didn't get to mix and mingle with the folks, like I wanted.  (Y'all weren't going to talk about me spreading germs! :) LOL)

I'm feeling much better today, so I can talk about what I witnessed last night.  The event was held Uptown and included a fashion show, with fashions from designer Silk Falsetto. Silk Falsetto also designed dresses for the birthday girl and the event hostess, Dani the Poet.  

I loved the dresses. What made me love them were the futuristic funkiness of them all.  Can something be futuristic and retro at the same time? I think so.

Color block is such an 80s thing, but it is back now.  Mesh is also making a comeback. (Has it ever completely left? I don't know... I'm not THAT MUCH of a fashionista.).  Dani's dress is the first one I saw. It was a black mini, jersey (I think) dress, with a color block of red mesh adorning in an art deco funky manner. 

Yasmin's dress was punchy with color blocks of fuschia (or pink) and neon green panels.  It reminded me of the ensembles anime characters wear.  Again, very funky and cute.  

Besides the fashion show and musical performance, there was comedy by a guy named QC B from the sports talk radio station here.  I left during that performance, to get home and rest up for my event tonight. 

And guess who made a special appearance? Trust me...you wouldn't guess in a million years. But I'll put his picture at the end and you can figure it out. 

If you can guess who this is...leave it in the comments, and
you will win a prize!
