The FAB Awards 2017

Kathy Blaze and Terrance Hudson

The Fashion.Art.Beauty multi-faceted fashion show was spectacular this year! The runway was filled with ridiculously creative hairstyles, body painting and some of the most amazing couture to be seen in the desert.

FAB Weekend founders Terrance Hudson and Kathy Blaze Jefferson pulled out all the stops in the ballroom at the Embassy Suites Resort in lush Scottsdale Az. The red carpet was buzzing with partygoers and all who wanted to get that selfie

 

 

 

on the runway. Vendors lined up to show off their wares from the likes of Prince Hunter BowTies, Fibi&Clo, Damsel in Defense and a wee bit more. 

 

FAB did things slightly different this year with the event.

Instead of the extravagant hair wars and models wars they decided to present

awards to those who are deemed worthy by their peers. Once the nominations were set the voting went wild. I know a few who voted every day sometimes twice. There was so much amazing

talent nominated I was in a quandary on choosing the best of the best.

And yes of course, I voted for all my compadres. I just love seeing this level of talent coming from right here in Arizona.

And I can't forget a shout out to the best host who's always on point Mr. Dizzie Ramsey. This guy right here ALWAYS keeps the crowd pumped.

There were so many designers on hand it made your head spin.
