Writer, Justin Mabrie
Photographer, Phill Cooke
Friday, September 21, 2012 KiKi Shepard’s K.I.S. Foundation hosted the 9th Annual Celebrity Bowling Challenge at PINZ Entertainment Center in Studio City, CA. The focus of the event was to raise awareness for the Sickle Cell Disease and celebrate the 100th year of discovery of the disease.
Celebrity guests and supporters of the cause arrived ready to bowl and have fun! The event brought awareness to the Sickle Cell Disease and an overall good time as attendees had dance sessions while still bowling in the tournament. Many of which spoke on their dear kinship with KiKi Shepard, the event’s guest list consisted of Jenifer Lewis, James Picken’s, Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy), Kim Whitley, Obba Babatunde, Sheree Fletcher (Hollywood Exes), Dawnn Lewis, Dorien Wilson, Elise Neal, Dondre Whitfield, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Mari Morrow, Michael Jai White, and many others in the entertainment industry.
Many of the guests had actual personal reasons to support the Sickle Cell Disease. Dondre Whitfield and Salli Richardson-Whitfield expressed, "Our Best friend’s daughter has sickle cell, if we do an event and the money is going to charity, we are there! Actor Alimi Ballard also spoke on how he has numerous cousins that have suffered from the disease and stated, KiKi is an icon and person I love, had to support without question." 
Dawnn Lewis expressed that the K.I.S. Foundation continues to create opportunities for Sickle Cell honorees, aid in providing healthcare they need, and participate in efforts for continuing education, like going to college. In response to currents talks of A Different World reunion, she excitingly expressed, It’s amazing that people are still interested… and they in works of establishing a speaking tour for the cast to commemorate their 25th anniversary.
K.I.S. Foundation correspondent for the night, Miss Sabah briefly shared her story as a Sickle Cell Disease survivor. Being diagnosed at three weeks old, she knows the pain that goes with medicine, surgeries, and almost having her life at risk a few times. She appreciates that people want to know her story and expressed that most people do not know: It’s not just in African Americans… it’s genetics, in your blood… and you often don’t see it on the outside appearance. Through medicine and vitamins, she remains a survivor!

Summer Crosley: Helping to Protect Our Planet In Style
Model and actress Summer Crosley uses her beauty to help conserve the ocean. "Most people fail to realize the importance of ocean life conservation to protect our planet.
I want to remind my peers and the youth community that littering puts our beautiful wildlife — dolphins, whales, sea turtles, tropical fish at risk of endangerment and extinction." ~Summer Crosley
IM: When you think of fall fashion, what comes to mind?
SC: I think of Chic dressy pants with a satin body suit and some awesome heels, maybe throw in a trench coat to really set it off.

Its always fun being someone else for the day

Designer Carolina Herrera delivers another solid line for Spring/Summer 2013 during day 4 of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Hands down she one of my most favorite designers to watch. She is brilliant with mixing fabrics, colors and prints to perfection. I guarantee she will will be a dominating name in my "Most Favorites" in my Editor's Picks from MBFW Spring/Summer 2013. “With my clothing and fragrances, I believe that it is best to be realistic, but to always mix a bit of fantasy with reality. It’s the same with life, really.” ~Carolina Herrera (via MBFW website)
