THE SHOW
Ellis helped host the first half of the show.
Opening up was gospel rap artist Christopher LeMArk.
LeMArk spoke and rapped about his life including being abused and abandoned and living in foster care for most of his life.
One awkward moment occurred when LeMark(who said he didnt get any sleep for three days) sat down and took out some paper and started reading off it while rapping which took away from his performance.
Next up was American Idol contender Marques Jackson who was lettin the crowd "have it" with his sashaying and divaness during his performance.
Jackson was definitely entertaining but a lil bit over the top with his stage antics.
Jackson wanted everybody there to hear him--literally.
Alex Day on screen. The montage featured some of the models.

Sherrod and Ashtar reinacted a dance to Janet Jackson's "What About That," a song about spousal abuse
They were in character indeed!

In one of the provocative moments of their dance routine.
In the attack mode of the dance.
In escape mode.
In conquer mode.
Ashtar in a solo dance routine.
The second half of the show showcased the ladies.
The opening scene was TRANSPARENT
See through chic!
Intense features, long single braids and style!
Diva pose!
The next scene was BRONZE and COPPEr PART 2
Metallic Couture
Firece fashion and stomp!

Designer Chad Leon takes a bow.
NOTE: This fashion show ball was phenomenal from top to bottom. The clothes (which were over 130 pieces) were on point and daring, the models were hot and the music was heavy house influenced (mixed with Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson tunes). Besides the opening acts (which took away from the flow and theme of the show), The House of Cleons Ball was eye candy to the fullest, it was a fashion rollercoaster that one would love to ride again! Great job!

In the lobby, the designer was so overwhelmed with emotion that he cried and got hugs from two of his family members and even hugged me for coming to the show. I was happy to have been a media sponsor from this deisgner who is hella talented and his vision is beyond....
Oh and STL model Alex Day was great and one of the better guy runway walkers in the show!
