fanMAIL: Tameka Foster opens a 2nd store

According to publicist Eileen Arias of EA Public Relations, Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster has opened a second store, Estella HOME, in the Atlanta area.

Eileen writes:

Hi !

On Monday, August 9, Tameka Raymond opened her second store, Estella HOME, and by Wednesday already has the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige shopping!

Estella HOME specializes in custom home decor, candles, body care, jewelry, accent furniture pieces, books and more “home” appropriate items anybody with a flair for fashion and style will LOVE!

Also accompanied by Mary J. Blige was Marjorie Harvey, wife of Steve Harvey.

While at the store Mary J. Blige browsed the jewelry collection, Tracy Mourning’s Honey Child body collection and various throws and decorative pillows.

Estella HOME and it’s sister store Estella both benefit Tamela’s non-profit organization, Lost Ones Foundation. www.lostonesfoundation.org

Check out the pics tweeted by @TamekaRaymond and let me know if you can post online.

Best,
Eileen

The question is: where is Atlanta’s most notorious gold digger getting all this money to open two stores in Atlanta? I know for a fact that she didn’t cash in on her failed marriage to R&B crooner Usher, even though she bore two of his kids.

His prenup was airtight, which left Tameka to scrounge around for other sources of income to support her lifestyle.

Whose the chick on the end? If your going to be a golddigger atleast she’s investing in herself…
Patrice_O

Well good for her.. I don’t understand how someone can beg for donations on twitter one week and the next week post pictures of expensive shoes she just purchased. Do you really need my dollar donation?

Marjorie Harvey and those implants and W I D E clevage :smh:

Usher is still breaking Meka off. He loved her and had children with her. Unlike Puffy I believe usher wants Tameka to be sucessful.

Go Tameka.

Why would she have bad credit. The only thing she has to do is use Ushers’s checks and pay her bills on time.
imarie aka lalie

Business must be going great to open another shop. That’s not an easy task in this harsh economy. Good for her.

I also didn’t know she had a first store. I agree with whatdoesitmatter, at least she is doing her own thing.
pointhimout

ugh, not that voucher bs in east point yesterday. i knew this mess was gonna make national news, making atlanta look bad with thirsty helpless negros.

my first thought too was where is she getting the money? the first store’s only been opened a month or two, right? i think she’s just lending her name (stop laughing) for a fee and it’s not truly her store(s).

The sad thing is they only had 450+ available homes and 16,000 ppl showed up. It goes to show ppl are still struggling.

@point #27
It was on the news in Chicago but I didn’t understand what was going on…were they just handing out applications for a waiting list or are those folks guaranteed voucher?

Go Meka. Glad she is doin’ her.

However, Tameka has always worked. Some years back in like 2003-05 I remember she was in Philly styling Patti Labelle. So she has always had work
Jerrie

Point: The store is named after her grandmother, so I don’t think she’s just using her name.

On VH1 Behind the music Usher said the divorce cost a lot, so there’s some money right there. Also maybe she saved her own. How many kids does she have? Trust she getting that child support!

***************************************************

no, there are 450+ homes in the program (plus some project apartments). NONE of them are available right now. they are just taking applications for a new waitlist. the prior waitlist has been exhausted or they decided to start over with a new one. therefore, not ONE person is getting a voucher right now, just getting on a list.

the sad part is, when you go to vote in the ATL, you see very few of our people. you couldn’t get them out like that for anything but something free.

Go head Tameka… shes always tweets on the store although since the 1st opened she doesn’t tweet as much. At whoever asked, most people with foundations regardless of how much money they have still request donations. That’s how charities work, there is nothing wrong or shady about that if that’s where you were leading. And she always worked, her working is how she met Usher in the first place. I like Tameka, I’ve never understood the hate towards her

How long is the waiting list, Years?

@Anna, #43–on the local news if I’m not mistaken, they said the waiting list was going to be at least a year.
