Kandi held her grand opening for her boutique Tags, and her fellow housewives, Kim and Lisa came out in support. Nene was out of town, and Sheree had to go support her daughter in a play, but wished she could have made it. But however, my homegirls Diamond and Rasheeda were there in support along with Kandi’s family.

Tags stands out in the crowd of boutiques in the area by catering to men in the area. About 60 percent of the inventory would be available to men.Kandi believes that Atlanta is a city of fashion and if you are in Atlanta, you will love Tags.  She suggests that the boutique has more to offer, being that they cater to the men who have nowhere to shop in the area.

Seems like Kandi’s boutique is very appealing and going to be a huge success. We wish her well! I know it is going to due well, the fact that the store is very reasonably priced is going to draw in a huge crowd, because the clothes are damn sure off the chain. So if you in ATL make sure you go out and support my homegirl Kandi.

Look at this rock! This has to be one of the biggest engagement rings I have ever seen! I saw Kim and her “boo” out the other day, and we all know who her boo is, looking all lovely and in love. As happy as they were looking, you couldn’t tell me that these two weren’t madly in love with each other.

So all you haters fall back, Kim and her boo are meant to be together, and no one can stop that. If you have something to say then oh well cause it’s clearly not going to phase them. Kim is currently working to promote er new single “Tardy For The Party,’ but if ya’ll don’t book her for shows, I don’t think she’ll be worrying, cause judging from this ring she will be fine.

Yesterday I was told that the folks over at Bravo are now looking to bring in a character for the Atlanta housewives, who doesn’t mind getting a little gritty. Ever since Nene decided to not give them ghetto, they have been on the prowl for a new housewife to add more drama to the cast.

I was also told that one of the wives will not be returning. Hummm I really don’t know about that? — I love them all, and don’t want anyone of them to go. I was told the person but cant say just yet…  

Here are some pics from last seasons premiere party …

My girls,NeNe, Kandi, Sheree, Kim and Lisa, looked gorgeous tonight as they took over the red carpet of the Soul Tain Awards. No everyone Sheree was not wearing She by Sheree. But Lisa was wearing her line Closet Freak.

I have to say that the ladies looked very lovely tonight on the carpet. And shout out to my homegirl Bre, Kim’s daughter, for showing me love tonight on the carpet. 

Everyone was talking about how good NENE’s hair looked, she gave it to yall last night….

The whole cast of the Atlanta Housewives threw a major gathering for Halloween. My homie Skyylyfe.com covered the event for me and took some amazing pictures of the girls in there costumes, aka eye candy lol. I really don’t know much about the event, besides the fact that it was way on the other side of town, but from the looks of the pictures it was really nice. Also this was Kim’s first live performance, and she wasn’t ‘Tardy for the Party’, although a few of her notes were lol.

Kandi Burruss, cast member of Bravo‘s “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, has opened a clothing and accessory boutique named Tags.  Kandi teamed up with her friend, Peaches Chin, to open Tags, which is located in Smyrna’s West Village. Chin will hold daily management responsibilities and Kandi is the head of marketing and promotions.

Tags stands out in the crowd of boutiques in the area by catering to men in the area. About 60 percent of the inventory would be available to men.Kandi believes that Atlanta is a city of fashion and if you are in Atlanta, you will love Tags.  She suggests that the boutique has more to offer, being that they cater to the men who have nowhere to shop in the area .

Due to the recession, Kandi offers the idea that Tags would be a boutique that offers “luxury for less” with items such as dresses and bags for under $70. She is also open to including pieces from the fashion lines of her reality show cast mates Lisa Wu Hartwell and Shereé Whitfield.

Kandi enjoys the boutique, that serves as a distraction from her tragic lost of her former fiancée, A.J. Jewell says that she likes to keep busy.

Seems like Kandi’s boutique is very appealing and going to be a huge success. We wish her well!

 AJ’s Family is speaking out about the death of their loving son … EUR web is reporting that the blood disorder sickle cell anemia may have contributed to the beating death of A.J. Jewell, his parents released a statement attempting to set the record straight.

      ”Our son ‘AJ’ had the sickle cell trait which caused no related medical problems during his life,” read the statement given to TMZ.com by the family’s rep. “We feel AJ’s death was a result of the malicious attack by the individual and/or individuals present during the fight.”

       TMZ is also reporting that the defense attorney for Frederick Richardson, the club manager who was charged with voluntary manslaughter of Jewell, told the Web site: “I would have liked to have found a cause of death before rushing to judgment.”

TMZ.com is reporting that Sickle Cell Anemia may have played a significant role in the death of Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, the ex-fiancé of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burress. Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Kelly Rose tells TMZ preliminary autopsy results led her to believe that A.J., who died two weeks ago after a strip club brawl, suffered from the life long blood disorder that inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body.

Police say Ashley “A.J.” Jewell suffered severe head injuries during the fight at the Atlanta strip club Body Tap. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, and later died.

“Rose says it’s most likely that Jewell was worked up from the fight — and because of his condition, it’s probable that he couldn’t replenish the oxygen he lost during the incident … which the Dr. says could have fatal consequences,” TMZ reported.
