Hey Bombshells!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the book launch party for my friend Demetria Lucas aka A Belle in Brooklyn. The award winning writer and relationships editor for Essence Magazine penned a sassy tome called, “A Belle in Brooklyn: The Go-To Girl for Advice on Living Your Best Single Life”. The blockbuster book drops today, so Demetria welcomed lots of industry insiders and friends to a penthouse to enjoy Belle cupcakes and drinks by X-rated Fusion Liqueur.

Take a look at a few snaps:

The fabulous Bevy Smith was in the building, and delivered a speech during the festivities.

Friends Michelle, Arlene, and Kai came out to support.


Gardy and Calcie were amongst the many men in attendance.

A fan holds a Belle-tini and a signed book.

Of course I snapped a few pix!

And a quick twitpic with the Belle of the Ball.
Speaking of Belle, check out her outfit!

She was blinging in an optic white dress from ASOS, sparkly heels, and diamond bangles.
It was a fun night.

  1. Nice pics! Lovin Belle’s dress and shoes. I can’t wait for the event here in DC! I picked up the book Saturday and finished by Sunday. Excellent summer read and nothing like any other “relationship book” I’ve ever read. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!!

  2. Thinking about going to Belle’s event tomorrow in Harlem! I love your necklace, Claire!

  3. this post makes me want to hide myself and my B-cups under a rock or something….i never wanted cleavage so baaad! everybody looks gorgeous and sexy!

  4. The Belle is wearing my Aqua dress! Its looks good in white..wishing I got that color instead….

  5. I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way (because I mean no malice), but I don’t think your hair does you justice Claire.

  6. Great pics and I love your handbag. Also your hair looks fine. I think people always find something to grip about.

  7. Belle’s hair is always on point! Claire those soft colors are looking good on you!! And I love the way your hair looks in the pic w/ you and your crackberry ;0)

  8. Claire I was just gonna Mail Bomb you about your amazing look… You must have known, and went ahead and added it!

    You are stunning!

  9. @ Claire; You look BEAUTIFUL woman! I just <3 everything. Especially the necklace. Coudl you make a post on this please?

  10. @Claire. You know I’m not quite sure. When I was looking at the photos, I just kept thinking you’d look great with more volume and movement in your hair. Anyhow, don’t mind me. You looked chic as always :)

  11. fabulous. i love when folk take responsibility for their lives and create opportunities for themselves while lead them to attain goals. I could use some of that thinking power! Looking hot Claire :)
