Style It Up

On March 5th, 2010, Style It Up was in attendance for First Friday. Normally, Style It Up attends strictly fashion events. This was a very special occasion. First Fridays United Boston Chapter presented First Fridays at the Tavern featuring a birthday party for Boston native Sekou Carradine. If you remember, we first met him during the 2009 Boston Fashion Week at Boston Fashion Expose. Sekou was a guest reporter for our show and did a great job interviewing the designers and models at the show. Now friend to the show, the busy model/actor was in town celebrating his birthday in correlation with the First Friday event that was held at The Baseball Tavern. I had the opportunity to catch-up with the man of the hour, looking very sharp in a Ty Scott/ Vivre Riche outfit, and find out what he has been up to since September.

Sekou told me that since September he has been travelling a bit to do some snowboarding. He is now in collaboration with Denyce Smith who is his Boston PR agent. Working with Denyce, they are gearing up for some projects in Boston. Also, he has been training in New York City with an acting coach to stay prepared if anything comes his way. He definitely is ready for it all. He sends a message out to all the Beantown producers and directors. Sekou says, “Let’s talk and shoot something.” I asked him what upcoming project is he involved in. He said he would be at the New England Urban Music Awards. He was asked to present an award for the night. He is quite excited about that. Be sure to check him out at the New England Urban Music Award on April 24th.

Overall it was fun night out for Style It Up celebrating Sekou’s birthday and the other March babies that were in attendance. The 2 floors were packed with good music. One level had DJ Ron Steele along with DJ Greg the Sh_t Talker and they played vinyl cut classics, Funk, Soul, Top 40, Hip Hop and the other level had a music jam session with Elevation Theory and Friends and spoken word hosted by Sirius Black. Everyone who came out to this event was looking very stylish and really did enjoyed the night.

I would say til the next runway but since weren’t at a fashion show this time I will say.

Keep it fab and keep it stylish.
