What’s Impossible?

MESH.

After 3 weeks of having to run this town on my own, one of the other PNC’s, AR finally made his way up to NYC.

After being dismissed– we don’t ask to go home, from our internship we met up for happy hour with our homegirl Ashley [insert witty statement for "bad b****] for some after-work happy hour. We hit up this little spot Cooper’s 35 in the East Village, because they have the cheapest drinks in town. (Too bad their service isn’t that great) Either way, we had a blast catching up and planning our future domination.

As most of you know I’m currently in NYC interning and holding it down for the MESH. crew. This past weekend we were invited to the launch party of Belvedere Vodka‘s newest flavor, Pink Grapefruit. Alongside my big sister Victoria Reese I attended the event, which took place at the Belvedere Pink Grapefruit Pop-Up Store in the Meatpacking District. The guestlist included Alek Wek, ?uest Love, Bevy Smith, Keri Hilson, Dee & Rickey, Sessilee Lopez, Rosie Perez, and more…

Prior to the main event, Bevy Smith hosted one of her private “Dinner’s With Bevy” to celebrate the launch. The entire night was entitled “In The Pink“, and celebrated women who lead vibrant and creative lives. No wonder I was in attendence

Shoutout to Reagan Freyer for the hook-up.

Having recently watched The September Issue for the first time (save the boos and hisses– i know i’m late),  I’ve gained a different take on the infamous leader of the free (fashion) world, American Vogue Magazine Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. Seeing a glimpse into Anna the person, and not Anna the deadpan-straight-business-ice queen-of-Vogue was great. I really feel like she’s a great spirit, and believing that, I want to know more… so why not go see her in person?

Of course I can’t just traipse into the Vogue offices at will (yet), but I (we!) can go see her when she’s out and about, so let’s do it.

Pratt Institute in NYC has  announced that Anna will speak at the school’s Brooklyn campus at Memorial Hall Auditorium on Monday, April 19 at 6 p.m. for a lecture that is free and open to the public.

Seating is limited however, therefore RSVP’s must be made by emailing events@pratt.edu by Tuesday, April 23rd. Media spots are also available (contact Amy Aronoff).

After the lecture, there will also be a question-and-answer session with Anna and who I personally believe is one of the best dressed men in the world: Hamish Bowles, European Editor-At-Large for Vogue.

The fact that it’s on a monday is a bit icky being that I live in DC, but I’m seriously considering a trip to NYC for this.

PNC’s what up!?

AR!

Seeing as we go to Howard University, one of the flyest schools in the nation, it was only a matter of time before MESH. posted some on-campus flicks. Our staff photographer, Janelle Wallace, was on the prowl these past few weeks for some of the trendiest looks, and here they are…

Will you be at the next event?

Beyoncé and Solange were spotted promoting the Samantha Thavasa x Disney handbag collection. Last year the Knowles became the first African Americans to model the luxury handbag line.

Side note: Solange looks good. The bald thing works for her.

Usher was seen hosting a party for Vegas Magazine in celebration of his recent cover/shoot which can be seen [here]. Yay Usher and all but what I want to know is what shoes are he wearing? They appear to be dope and I need to get my hands on some of them.

Nice fit Mr. Raymond.

Seriously, if anyone can get me the name of those shoes or find them I’ll be grateful.

Aisha Johnson is going to kill me. I always try to shy away from doing too many posts about a certain celebrity over a period of time. Not too long ago, I dedicated a post to the sexy Kelly Rowland and her beautiful legs, well the beauty doesn’t stop. Something about these photos of Kelly at the 2010 Madden Football Game Celebrity Match got me looking at Ms. Kelendria with my yearning (*cough* lustful) eye again. The girl is gorgeous.

I want to play a game with her. I’d definitely let her tackle me any day. Too bad this was just flag football huh?

She look like she know what she doing too.
