This past weekend, one of my favorite bloggers, Angel Jordan of KisforKinky hosted a meet up. Held in L.A. and dubbed the “Curly Kinky Fly L.A. Meet Up”, the event was sponsored by Beautiful Textures.
I would have loved to attend but as you can imagine, traveling 3000 miles away was simply not an option. Lucky for me, one of my friends, Celeste, recently moved to California and was able to supply the deets! When she told me she registered I was super excited for her and couldn’t wait to hear the details! As she texted me of the happenings and going ons from the event, I quickly responded “take lots of pictures!” After telling me she could definitely picture me at this gathering, I was even more excited. Here’s what she had to say:

The event was great all the ladies in the building were fly! I hadn't seen that many naturals in LA since I've been here. I wondered where they’d been hiding! Everyone was so friendly J First walking in I spotted Tae Haekard (the really pretty natural girl who does videos and played the "groupie" on The Game and checked Melanie LOL) was there taking pictures & greeting guests. She is gorge in person!
They had a couple of stations set up with jewelry, handbags and t- shirts. They also had a booth set up with desserts which were really good. Upstairs you had the opportunity to receive a complimentary hair cut if you pre- registered online.
Tanika Ray came up and spoke to me and she was really nice! I took a picture of her and her guest. She was listening to stories about different "natural hair journeys" that I believe were being recorded.
Angel is really pretty and she spoke about her transition and what it meant to her to be natural. Loved her story!! (I didn’t get a picture of her L) They did a couple of drawings for free items and upon leaving we received gift bags from beautiful textures (shampoo/whipped curl).

I sure wish I could’ve been there but at least I had a set of eyes and ears in the building thanks to my girl, Celeste! I am sure Angel will be posting all types of photos and providing us with an even closer look at the event. I will definitely be on the look out! During the event she tweeted the following:
Tanika’s hair is everything! She is in my top 5 when it comes to natural hair idols, especially her color!

Sounds like an awesome time was had by all! Maybe I can catch the next one!
If you don’t know about Angel, get familiar. Her site is so dope! Link is to the right under "Boss Links" as well.
