Beyonce - Why Don't You Love Me

VMAs 2010

Oh my FFAs, I know it’s been a while since I updated you guys with some "FABOLOUS" Fashion. It’s was a crazy week for me last week. After my one-day vacation to Fashion Night Out, it was all books for me after that.

But enough of that, let’s talk about what I missed last week. So we all know that September 12th was the Video Music Awards. Sitting here watching it, it has me amazed with the creativity that some of these celebs came out with. Filled with so much creativity, so many celebs; from Cici, to Gaga, Usher, Justin B, Nicki, Drake just to name a few. Talk about a party! That sure had me on my toes. Anyways, so we all know what I’m going to be talking about. If you do not know, then here let me help you, “FABOLOUS FASHION” of course!

The most talked about celebrity of the night?
The one, and only, Lady Gaga! So, she appeared first in a lovely Alexander McQueen gown, which was to die for and we can’t forget her killer Alexander McQueen heels. Literally! Then she came out with a FABOLOUS meat dress, something that I so did not expect. Made by: Franc Fernandez. From her purse, to her shoes, to the hat looking thing slopped on her head. I will say no more, only Lady Gaga can do something like this and get away with it.

Lets take a look at some of the images of this crazy party.

I Just have to leave you guys with my fav song for the night. Far East Movement - Fly Like A G6. Wish it was a video but I don't think there is one and if there is then I just can't find it.
