So yesterday- as usual- I went to Wingate Park for the last concert in the free Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Summer Concert Series (of course in none other than BK). I was really excited because I was getting a chance to see a real ICON perform, Patti LaBelle. Even as much as I despise the word she is the epitome of "DIVA." Howling at the top of her lungs, dancing, jumping, joking, and 64 years old. She wore a short black dress that was slightly ballooned and fitted around the her thigh. But of course no Patti experience would be complete without her infamous shoe changes and there were a few- every time giving props to the designers which did not exclude the red bottoms (Christian Louboutin) and a classic Manolo Blahnik. She referred to herself as an O.G.(original gangsta) and being in the industry for 47 years no one will dispute that. It was a great concert and a dope way to finish off the summer series. She even sang a little of "Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow starring Terrance Howard. I honestly almost cried (still searching for clips of the concert stay tuned).
Be blessed...KuTTy
