“PUT ON THE GLOVES FASHION SHOW”
TAKES ON BULLIES ONE PROM AT A TIME
Nobody likes a bully! And that's why on on Thursday, January 27, 2011, the first annual “Put on the Gloves” Fashion show will be filled with hundreds of people who are ready to take a stand against bullying of LGBTQ Youth. This unique fashion show  promises to “take on bullies one prom at a time”, and will benefit the Trevor Project and the Capital Queer Prom.The event will feature cutting edge designs and will be attended by hundreds of local community leaders, LGBTQ activists, and supporters of the Trevor Project and Capital Queer Prom.


“Taking a stand against bullying is not just a gay issue.Young children, teenagers and even adults of all walks of life are harassed daily, just for being different. It is ok to be different and this event sends a message that we will support teens in crises, and that things will get better,” says Eboné Bell, Founder of B.O.I. Marketing & Promotions and Executive Director of Put on the Gloves and the Capital Queer Prom. “We are now calling all friends and allies, to take on the bullies…one prom at a time.”


“Fashion is the ultimate expression of self,” says Elaine Mensah founder of Fashion BS, a premier podcast for the world of fashion, “What better way to celebrate Capital Queer Prom and the Trevor Project but with the most fashion forward formal attire and accessories.”

I interviewed the lovely Mya back in '09

The singer, actor, dancer also known in the biz as a "triple threat" was back in her hometown of DC not too long ago, shooting a music video at hot spot Lima, for her new single titled: "Love is the Answer" with Miami producer and DJ, Cedric Gervais.


I love how she's mixing it up with this new house/dance track.

Also in attendance at the event will be celebrity stylist and author Phillip Bloch,
Fox 5 anchor Will Thomas,and Anji Corley of WPGC 95.5.
