There was a total of 20 hot shot honorees. Some included: Hairstylist Hadiya Barbel( Iman,Ciara, Ashanti, Eva Pigford), Fashion Stylist Atiba Newsome(P. Diddy, Mary. J Blidge), Makeup and Creative Arts Emmy Award winner, Karen Dupiche (Michelle Obama, Steve Harvey, Victoria Beckham), just to name a few. However, it was Misa Hylton and Nole Marin who were the highlight of the Blackout Awards. Misa Hylton who is a well known Fashion Stylist in the hip hop community(and P. Diddy's high school sweet heart and mother to their son Justin) received the 1st ever Naomi Sims Award of Excellence while Nole Marin received the Vanguard Award.
If you're an America's Next Top Model watcher(or at least of the early seasons) then Nole Marin's name should sound very familiar because he was a consistent and favorite judge on the hit show. Now, I'll be honest, although I was excited to meet him, I initially thought he was going to be one of those stuck up fashionistas but I was so surprised how warm and welcoming he was. Out of all the honorees I was able to meet, Nole was the most humble and grounded. He was so nice!!!! He took pictures with everyone who asked and conversed as well. If you asked for advice(which I did), he gave you some. He was such a breathe of fresh air. It just made me love him even more......
Check out some pictures
