Reality stars play dress up for “Forever Relevant” costume gala

Halloween is more than a month away, but reality TV stars never need a reason to get dressed up. Celebs such as Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks (pictured above), Cynthia Bailey, and others turned out for Kenya Moore‘s “Forever Relevant” costume gala dressed up as film and song legends Pam Grier, Diana Ross, Dorothy Dandridge, Diane Carroll, singers Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, Tina Turner, and more legends! Nicole Garner of The Garner Circle PR organized the event.
Photos by: Robin Lori.

I’m going to take a wild guess that Kandi Burruss is supposed to be Tina Turner.

I have no idea who Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas are supposed to be. EDIT: Tami says they are dressed up as Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. I don’t see it.

Vegas is the RARE city where it might be cheaper to book sep. B/c it is a city of MAS hotel roomage. Hence you can get a room at a nice spot for cheap. How many rooms yall getting…how is it gonna be split etc. also factors in.

Thats when I went to Vegas…my sister’s 40th. We had a “Hangover” esque time… Told yall we made us a friend first night there…she was hanging with us…showing us the local spots…we was leaving and saw her standing upright.. on the side of the building…taking a piss.
