Hotels in Ghana
Plus, there were too many gorgeous African men you could "men" watch all day. . . It was hard not to say, "I like that one. Wow! and that one too. Wohoooo! What about him?" Lol! It's a great hotel for people watching, meeting business and social acquaintances and enjoying nightly jazz performances. Besides, I was also impressed that they willingly got on the band wagon as sponsors for the UN Catwalk the World Ghana event. It's nice when inter-Africa/foreign businesses in Africa give back. A bit social responsibility never hurts.
Fitness/Staying fit is an essential part of a Ladybrille woman. It's nice to know you can travel with your "fit" lifestyle intact.
The tropical like gardens located behind the hotels garden was a nice way to relax and take it all in.

UN Catwalk the World Ghana-Fashion for Food
Nigeria's Designer Deola Sagoe brought Africhic Sexy Back! Supermodel Oluchi Struts one of Deola Sagoe's designs on the runway. I am generally not a fan of the puffy slips and bagged hem baby doll dresses but this look works. The heart shaped neckline, cute bow and brilliant combination of rich textured silk with 100% cotton ankara printed fabrics makes this number haute!
Kofi Ansah wowed the audience with his diverse take on the Kente fabric. Especially to my African-American fashion-forward readers, who knew you could be a princess in a gorgeous ballroom gown with fabrics made out of Kente?
Stoned Cherie was very urban chic!
Ozwald Boateng was spectacular with his "Men in Black" type theme
Ozwald Boateng gives british model Toby a totally Parisian GQ touch.
Luxurious and supercomfortable looking pants. Ozwald's confident swagger is super sexy. Here he is doing a cool dance at the end of his show.
Damon Dash, Rachel Roy, Ava and Boogie were in Ghana for the event
Guests also included Noni Gasa, 2005 Face of South Africa Sanlam Fashion Week
