This past Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 1, 2011, I had the dis­tinct plea­sure of get­ting in on some BET Hip Hop Awards Week­end action by attend­ing the Sole Music, Char­ity Shoe Auc­tion. Held at Fly Kix, a sneaker shop in Atlanta with a crazy selec­tion, the event brought out celebri­ties and well known personalities.

In addi­tion to the silent auc­tion for the ben­e­fit of Stone Moun­tain High School and Walk a Mile in My Shoes, there was plenty of pic­ture tak­ing, min­gling, and sip­ping of Hen­nesey (not me though! I was work­ing :p).

 

A pair of sneak­ers owned by rap­per, T.I. auc­tioned. His release from a halfway house seemed to give the city of Atlanta and the BET Hip Hop Awards Week­end, just that much more special!

Sneak­ers owned by Kenny Ander­son auctioned.

Sole Music part­nered with Hen­neey to unveil the Hen­nessy Kaws bot­tle, fancy!

I thought the girls work­ing the event were too cute!

Celeb sneak­ers auc­tioned included DJ Greg Street, Don Can­non, Ludacris and Travis Porter.

Just because it was a sneaker auc­tion, doesn’t mean I was going to miss an oppor­tu­nity to talk heels! This is an awe­some shot!

Me and Fly Kix owner, Ebonie Word. I could’ve died when I found out she was the owner! I love find­ing fly women in the most unex­pected of places.

I had such a good time! See more pic­tures of the celebri­ties and shoes on our Face­book page!
