Que of Day26 – “I’m Not Cheating on Dawn. I Love That girl!”

Ian Jarrell — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:44:34 +0000

Okay, Okay, Que we get the picture. You are in love with Dawn Richard. Que recently sat down with Sister2Sister Magazine to dish about how he feels about Dawn of Dirty Money. It seems like every other week Que is professing his love to this woman, but Dawn rarely speaks on their relationship. That’s saying a lot right there..Check out what Que had to say:

“Everybody thinks I’m cheating on Dawn. Me and Dawn are very happy together, I’m not cheating on Dawn. I love that girl! I would never cheat on someone so special to me. We know we’re not cheating on each other. It’s an honest love.”

He continues….

“We love each other. It’s an honest relationship and I think people just are talking and they want to figure out what’s going on in our relationship,” Que said. “When people are happy, there are going to be people trying to push negative energy. “

Events: Vanessa Simmons Birthday Party @ Su Casa

Over the weekend, ATF attended the birthday celebration for Vanessa Simmons who turned 26 on August 5th. Vanessa looked radiant as always in her Grey jumper suit. We love how she arrived super late for her birthday, but we expected a lot more from her. Don’t come fashionably late and look like your going on a date. It’s cool though, we still love her. Angela Simmons dress was a lot more fashion forward than her sister’s, didn’t she get the memo? (never look better than the birthday girl). Overall, both girls are doing their thing in the fashion world, Pastry is actually holding it down in the hood. More photos after the jump..

The event was held at a small lounge here in NYC, called Su Casa located in the Downtown Manhattan. The party was packed with people coming out to support Vanessa and the Simmons family, but most people were in there looking for some camera time. Overall the event was pretty cool, we expected a better turn out.

There were some notable faces in the building that we enjoyed seeing.

Notable Attendees: Dawn Richard, Que of Day26, Angela Simmons, JoJo Simmons, Fab Man’ Marc Clark, Brooke Jasmyn, Designers’ Coco & Breezy

Bye Danity Kane…Hello Dawn Richard!

Ian Jarrell — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:49:53 +0000

Danity Kane Who? Dawn Richard can say “Mission Accomplished”. After seeing these crazy dope photos of Dawn taken for HoneyMag.com, you almost forget that she was even in that group. We all are going to miss Danity Kane, but we are definitely interested in hearing and seeing what Dawn will do next. She is overly positive and humble in her interview with the magazine. This woman deserves all the success in the world, she has worked extra hard to make it in the color, hair, and money obsessed industry. Go ‘Head Dawn!

“The best thing a woman can do is love herself. Love yourself, ladies. No matter what skin you’re in, no matter what eye color, nationality. Whatever you are love who you are. And it’s okay to be different, its okay to be the same, whatever you are just be the best you can be. And if anyone else is hating it’s because you’re doing it right. So continue to love yourself. Once you love yourself, everyone else around you will love you. And those who don’t, don’t need to be on your train anyway.”

Dawn & Que – Exclusive D.Blanks Photoshoot

Ian Jarrell — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:04:03 +0000

These two are truly in love, guess people really can find love on reality TV. Dawn Richard & Que of Day26 recently did a photoshoot with celebrity photog Derek Blanks. D.Blanks is most known for his alter-ego shoots, which we love. He pulled out all the stops for these two lovebirds. We love the good vs evil theme. And we see Dawn pulling out her dominatrix side in one of the photos. We are definitely feeling Dawn’s new haircut, very edgy chic. It’s perfect for her face shape and new found swag. We are counting down the days to hear music from Dawn’s group Dirty Money. You can check more pics after the jump..

Que of Day26 & Dawn Getting Married?!?

Ian Jarrell — Fri, 15 May 2009 20:19:07 +0000

We just caught word that Que of Day26 and Dawn Richard plan on getting married. This news is very surprising because the two barely act like a couple. These two have been dating since they met on Making The Band 4, so they have passed the typical industry relationship time limit, and they would make an adorable couple. Dawn recently told ATF that the two of them are “amazing“. Yeah, that’s a pretty strong word. Check out what Que had to say about Dawn after the jump..

“One day I’m gonna marry her, She is so real. I want everybody to accept it. I know it’s hard with this industry because you got a lot of fans but, I am so in love, I want to have kids with this girl one day. I know I’ve found the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life.”

Dawn is reportedly going to be on tour with Diddy and their new group Dirty Money, for the album Last Train to Paris. Que is currently on tour with Day26 and J.Holiday.

Last Night in NYC – Chrisette Michelle, Jay-Z and More

Aura — Wed, 13 May 2009 23:26:13 +0000

Chrisette Michele had a somewhat last minute album release party last night at Mansion aka M2, and Ginuwine, Joe and more showed up. (Speaking of Ginuwine, he’s making a comeback, and we also had a change to go to his listening session as well. More on that later.)

In case you haven’t heard, Chrisette Michele also beat out Ciara and Hannah Montana to gain the #1 spot on the charts this week for her sophomore album, “Epiphany“! Congrats to her! That’s major. More on the album release party plus Jay-Z, T.I. and more celebs attend Lyor Cohen’s Audi event when you read the rest.

Day 26 and Dawn showed up at Chrisette Michele’s event. We like them here at All That’s Fab, as they always just seem “Happy to be here”.

If you would like a recap of the event, check out Ian Jarrell’s Twitters from last night. Apparently it definitely left much to be desired.

In other New York event news from last night, record executive Lyor Cohen also hosted a dinner party to celebrate Audi’s TDI Clean Diesel Technology. Jay-Z, T.I., Estelle, LL Cool J and more attended. Pics below.

Events: Making The Band 4 Press Night

Ian Jarrell — Mon, 04 May 2009 14:32:14 +0000

Last week ATF got the chance to attend a press night which featured the girls of Danity Kane minus Aundrea and Day26. The event was mad cool and entertaining. We all gathered in a small room and interviewed the former Danity Kane members, and the crazy boys of Day26. We got really up close and personal with the bands. After the jump you will see exclusive pictures from the press room and a surprise video. Hope you enjoy

This was probably one of the smoothest press events I have ever been to. Everything was extremely organized and relaxed. MTV did a really good job putting this all together, but they could have decorated that conference room or something lol…The first that came into the room was Aubrey O’Day, my hands down favorite. She is just so raw and open, that sounds a lil freaky but that’s Aubrey. She just has this Don’t Give A F**K attitude, that you can’t help but love and respect. In the video you will hear Aubrey rap and why she hasn’t spoke up about the downfall of Danity Kane. We also learned that Aubrey will be appearing in her own show on Broadway, and will be executive producing her own reality show, starring none other than, herself.

Next to enter the fire pit of reporters was Shannon Bex. She was pretty much the boring one of the day, but what do you expect. She did look really nice I must say. She was the only one out of all the girls that has decided to leave music alone for awhile, she never sand much on the album anyway. She did mention about wanting to try country music, because of the longevity in the genre.

D.Woods was next to be in spotlight. She came in just energize and excited to have some attention. I really love how happy she came off. D.Woods during the interview revealed that she is releasing her own solo album, and that her single will be dropping this summer. She even gave us a sneak pick of her first single during the press event. You can listen to that in the video also.

The last one standing and the new queen at Bad Boy, Dawn Richard, came in to speak with us next. this woman has one of the greatest spirits and attitudes. She is just so geniuine and sweet, it hard to believe that she actually played a part in the downfall of the group. She was just so open about the whole Danity Kane situation. I love that she is still doing her thing at Bad Boy. She will be in a group called Dirty Money alongside Diddy. She is featured on The Last Train to Paris, which she wrote and sings on every track. I can’t even knock her for doing her thing and staying grounded.

The best interview of the night was hands down Day26. These boys are just simply wild and crazy, and you got to live it. They are really excited about their new album, which is the ish in my opinion. Day 26 is really slept on by the music industry, and that is truly ashame. once you meet the guys you can’t help but love them. Mike, Robert, and Brian are the funniest dudes in the group. You never know what they are going to say out their mouths. They all have a brotherly relationship, which makes me question all that drama on this past Making The Band 4 season.

Overall I had a really great experience sitting down with all the guys and gals. We at ATF wish them all the success in the world. I wonder what life after Bad Boy is going to be like for all of them? We have all see what happen to Da Band..You can check out the video and more pics below:

Day 26 Album Release Party At Ed Hardy

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:04:17 +0000

Last night ATF hit up Ed Hardy for the Day 26 ‘Forever In A Day‘ Album Release Party. Spotted in the building were Dawn Richard, Donnie Klang,Terrence J, Jaslene Gonzalez, Gorilla Zoe, Def Poet Shanelle Gabriel, Sophia Fresh, Black Buddahfly, Briana from Harlem Heights and many others.

For a play by play of what our experience was like…

Security was yoking up people all night for leaning on the precious Ed Hardy merchandise. The house was packed to the point where I was worrying about capacity limits and all that. “Imma Put It On Her“ played when the boys arrived. They glided through the crowd looking all adorable and emotionally stable. Folks sipped on Nuvo-based drinks while waiting for our favorite men to come through and there were beautiful models dressed as mermaids posted up randomly around the store. (We even saw some guy seriously hitting on one of them. Damn shame.)

Shouts out to Ola for a smooth, non-chaotic entry to the event!

We left the humid main event and headed over to the afterparty held at a “secret location” a block away. Real intimate and maze-like. The DJ threw on some Drake and every female in the place screamed and sighed all at the same time. Priceless. He doesn’t even have to be in the room for chicks to go crazy.

Minus the sweltering temperatures from the first event, it was an enjoyable night. Go cop that album! :]

Sidebar: It amazes me how different people look when you take away their weave. I can’t say any names because we were later introduced to her and she seemed pretty nice.

What They Wore: Dawn Richard @ GOTHAM Magazine Party

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:19:55 +0000

Dawn hit up GOTHAM Magazine’s party (to celebrate America Ferrera as their cover girl) in NYC and rocked a new look. And I must admit, she looked fly:

Dawn wore a Simone by Katie Nehra top, a Yadira mini skirt and YSL Caged booties (that I am in looove with and has had my eye on for the longest! Damn you, Dawn!). If you want to recreate her playfully feminine, sex kitten look

Simone by Katie Nehra Charmeuse calligraphy cami $198, INTERMIX

Yves Saint Laurent patent caged booties $1,590, YSL Online Boutique

And while I couldn’t find the exact skirt, I found something similar:

Kova & T latex Liz skirt $209, Chick Downtown

Even if you’re not hitting exclusive red carpet events like Dawn here, this would be the perfect outfit when hitting Club Butter with your girls. Cosmo’s anyone?
