Gearing up for a major red carpet event like the premiere for “Empire” Season 2 at Carnegie Hall, sometimes Murphy’s Law sets in for me, LOL.  First, my call time changes from 7pm to 5.30pm (at 3.30pm while I’m about to start getting my make-up done).  Next, just as I think I’m going to make it, my jaw-dropping patent leather Chromat dress splits as I’m running out the door and I had to rush to find another option.  And when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, we hit the worst traffic I’ve ever experienced in New York.  That said, I did eventually make the red carpet – 3 minutes before it closed down!  The rest of the night, however, was incredible.  I got to check out the first episode of the new season of “Empire” and if you thought last season was filled with drama, trust me, you’re in for even more of an exhilarating ride this time around.  The cast, creators, etc. then took to the stage for a candid discussion followed by incredible performances by Jussie, Yazz and Serayah.  It was then time for the afterparties (yes there were several) where I got to hang with the talented cast.

Catch the premiere episode of “Empire” Season 2 on Wednesday, September 23rd and make sure you don’t miss ep 2 on the 30th.  I have a little surprise in store for you guys!
