Laina & Angie with Samuel Dalembert - NBA center for the Philadelphia 76ers
HOW DID THIS PHOTO OP COME ABOUT ?
Laina: Me & Angie (and our friends Michelle & Angel) were in New Orleans for my 23rd Birthday during All Star weekend. Yes, that's right - we witnessed Dwight Howard become Superman at the Dunk Contest. On this particular night we decided to go out to a club called 360 where Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul were throwing a party. We ended up meeting and talking to Sam, who was beyond cool and down to earth. We got into talking about how happy he was that he had recently got his Canadian Citizenship - (he is from Haiti but grew up in Montreal) - after a few minutes of talking it ended up being us in the corner hollering 'the Canadians are taking over the party!' haha. Funny story. Really great guy.
Angie: What she said.
WHAT MAKES YOU ALMOST FAMOUS IN VANCOUVER ?
Laina: Hmmm aside from being a bar star? HA - JOKING!! We are in the process of starting up our company, Dope.Girl.Fresh. which is a girls clothing & accessories line of vintage, re-worked vintage and a small sprinkle of original pieces sewn by me.
Angie: I hope we're known for starting a movement in this city for the ladies. There are so many talented, creative females here. We want to dress them all!
FAMOUS SIGHTINGS WHERE CAN WE SEE YOU NEXT ?
Laina: We just had an event called 'Ladies Night' which was a shopping party/introduction to the gear. We will be fully up and running online at www.dopegirlfreshattire.com any day now!
Angie: Yup, online. Facebook, Twitter, all that. Look us up!
