OUT & ABOUT AT THE FABTASTIC! FAB NIGHT OUT 2012

As busy as last night was, with so many A-class event happening all over the town. The FAB Night out 2012, still delivered on my counts. The venue of the event was The Landmark event center, along Oniru Road, Victoria Island. On getting there, we knew immediately that it was going to be a very big night. If we are correct, this is probably the biggest FAB Night in the series ever. The venue, was so well decorated in black and white, it was like we were in a dream land in one of the Arabian night series. Well packed and well decorated round tables for the A-class guests that were expected. 

Security was on point, invitation cards were inspected, tables allotted and guests were led to their tables by the very gorgeous hostesses that dotted everywhere, just in case you were thirsty, there was a bar on the side preparing fantastic cocktail using Jack Daniels as the base, the JD company were one of the event's supporters. Though the event scheduled to start at 6pm didn't start on time, we think it kicked-off at about 8pm, many who came looking gorgeous, waited anxiously for it to begin. 

We saw many guests, that included the day's co-host- Bright Okpocha, AKA Basketmouth, who came in looking very dapper, with his adorably gorgeous wife in tow, we saw Ayo Finnih, Karen Young, Omotoke Makinwa, eye-popping Toni Tones in that sheer piece by House of Nwocha, Isoken Ogiemwonyi of Obsidian, Ghanaian designer Deborah Vanessa, Omowunmi Imokhuede, Lola Odu of Lo Lavita, Ojy Okpe, the delightsome Liz Yemoja, Vicky Heldan, madly gorgeous Osas Ighodaro, ex-miss Black USA 2010, MD of Sahara Grp, Tonye Cole, red-hot Seyi Shay in that red-hot,polka-dotted Tiannah styling number, Joan Okorodudu, founder of Isis Model Agency & NNSM, former Best Model of the World, Olubunmi Ademokoya, Franka Asindi, editor of Complete Fashion Magazine, Olayinka Fashola, creative director at MOOFA, Beverly Naya, Isi Atagamen, Kunbi Oyelese, ED at POLO Ltd, Jennifer Obayuwana, Eku Edewor, Dolapo Oni and so many others.
