If you’re going to walk a Red Carpet there are really only 2 in my opinion.    One for Music being The Grammy’s and the other for Film- The Academy Awards. Of course I recommend getting practice on other Red Carpets but when you walk those two- you’ve arrived!     I’ve never liked Red Carpets.  I’ve never had the dream or excitement of walking down with the artist and making sure they’re in the spotlight with as many photo opps and media outlets as possible.  However, after prepping Grammy’s Red Carpet and being there and walking down with Wayna I felt really proud and actually enjoyed myself.  There’s a big rush and slight nerves that come with the practically 1/2 mile walk and there’s a barrage of large media outlets, bright lights, tons of video cameras and photographers and everyone thinks you’re someone including me which is really the reason I don’t like being on them….The other thing is …If you’re not Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Jay-Z, Kanye, Rihanna- you must look absolutely stunningly gorgeous!   So-  being with Wayna- that part was easy and even though she’s not the ‘A List’ yet- she got almost as much attention.   We did about 12 interviews and tons of photo opps.  A couple folks turned us down like Good Morning America, CNN and a couple other outlets but that was also because a few weren’t set up yet.

Was also incredible to watch Wayna in all her stardom or young starlett qualities and the cameras loved her!  At the end of Red Carpet several photographers shot her by the Wall and fans were screaming out her name.   Hearing that was a gratifying and wonderful experience.

So what did she wear and  how long did the process take to make her FAB!  Well I saw a portion of the behind the scenes and….let’s say it wasn’t simple nor did it take a few minutes!
