Your cooperation in forwarding this post to Bobby Valentino would be much appreciated. Now this is how you rock a plunging neckline on a red carpet the proper way!

I love both of my parents dearly but I would have loved to trade them in for a week or so for Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson during my high school years. The first order of business would be  a parent teacher conference with all my instructors so I could sit back and watch them squirm around in their seats.

I am quite confident that at some point during the conference Nick would  have to run his hands through his hair in  order to cool down his frustration over being  mistaken for a cafeteria worker and leave traces of Pink Oil Moisturizer on everything he touched thereafter.
