Well I think this was one of the most exciting days in the life of izzi bag, to be nominated for an award, when there were over 250,00 entrants I was in the final 6, brand category. What an honor, the day was really hectic and as I prepared myself I had such a dilema on what to wear, so the final outfit, after of course 20 ended up on the cutting room floor was the one below.

Of course there was the Red Carpet, photos and I was blinded by flashing lights, especially after I threw a Diva moment and refused to be photographed with Sesame Street Characters ooops!

Red Carpet Moment

I mean how many Red Carpet moments do we get in life? sorry for that thought which came back to haunt me later on!

So, izzi and I spent half an hour mingling and drinking, so many people said they loved the shoes and dress. The makeup and hair didnt look bad either. I was nervous I have to say and I had such difficulty walking in the dress but I was having a ball. When they were announcing the Brand category I was clenching izzi’s hand so tight I think I stopped the blood flow, but we did not win, Whole foods and Sesame Street (Yep!) won the brand category! but at the end of the day I am so honored to be nominated and to have been in the same category as Whole Foods, Sesame Street (ooops) and Marvel Entertainment.

After the awards which went very smoothly except for a very drunk man – I am not naming him because I feel he does not deserve the publicity, spoilt the ‘Weird’ presentation – That was a joke right? can you believe that, promise it was true. He dived on the stage and grabbed the Mic and rambled, bet he feels stupid today! Nutter no wonder he was in the ‘Weird’ category. Anyway I digress izzi

and I hit the bar, we met some very interesting people including Paul Smith – no not the Fashion Guru but the @Twitchiker.

Paul Smith - Twitchiker not the Fashion Guru

As you will notice the dress seems to be getting shorter, but as the evening went on I gave up caring, nothing to do with the ammount of alcohol! I went on to meet the Mayor of Newark (New York)  Cory Booker

I met some really lovely people the crew of Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo, who won the Music Category and they kindly gave me a copy of her DVD, which is awesome!

Here is the guy that master minded the event! I did question why they had not had a proper Fashion category and he told me because the company is full of Males, so maybe I gave them food for thought.
