There;s YOURS TRULY, Ma'at Atkins backstage at the Pageant during SYGU's popular annual event TEESE where folk are required to wear graphic tees. Ya boy's tee was a black Fruit of the Loom tee with a flier of MISTA COUTURE taped on the front (one was on the back, too.) LOL . Check out the this event as well as others below that the OUTCAM caught while out!
On Friday, we caught some of Red Carpet Fridays at Lure. Pictured are co-promoters Dano Johnson and King Kerry of Hella Fly. The duo co-teamed with Liquid Assets on this event.

AND THE TEE OF THE NITE BELONGED TO:
Socialite Valarie Johnson. Although it didnt show on the OUTCAM, but this sista had a shirt that lit up like an EQ frequency.
NOTE: OVerall this years; TEESE was the best of all the TEESE that SYGU has done since 2008. The hip-hop elements took it to another level with the four dee-jyas (the other was Stan the Man), performers and of course the hundreds of people dressed in their tees (and some who didnt get the memo).
Besides a few problems at the door and resolving matters on the guest list(Good looking out Shad and Kelcie) , YOURS TRULY had all access to the event and was glad I stayed to witness a event's revolution take place.
P.S. Who was up in there smoking that OOOOOWWEEE?
great post!!
