Meet Our Louis Vuitton Handbag Winner, Keysha Willis
Our lucky Louis Vuitton winner, Keysha Willis, stopped by Lenox Square Mall over the weekend to claim her Louis Vuitton Montorgueil PM handbag. My apologies to Keysha for the runaround this weekend. We initially told her to meet us at Atlantic Station at 2pm. Then we changed the time to 3 and 4, and finally we called Keysha and asked her to meet us at Lenox where we were doing last minute shopping for Alex Gidewon’s ultra private birthday party tonight.
Keysha was a good sport, and she was so happy when she saw her bag! She said, “Thank you! Oh wow! Oh my God, this bag is thousand dollars? This is really nice! I like Keysha. She deserves this bag because she cares about others and puts others first! Bless you Keysha!
Thank you to Prince Williams of ATLPics.net for the pics!

Louis Vuitton Handbag Giveaway Winner! *Updated*
Thank you so much to all of my caring readers who shared their stories of empathy and compassion for those of us who are less fortunate. I received over 100 submissions for my Louis Vuitton handbag giveaway! I wish I could award a LV bag to everyone who entered, but there can only be one winner.
Despite the fact that only one of you will win the bag, just know that you are ALL WINNERS in the hearts of the people and loved ones that you have touched with your kindness and generosity!
The submissions for the Louis Vuitton handbag giveaway were the most enlightening and heartwarming I’ve ever received. Some of the emails broke my heart.
It was difficult to choose just one winner from the many great entries, but I decided to give the handbag to Keysha Willis!
Keysha’s heartwarming story of unselfish compassion for her adopted sons touched my heart, and I hope it touches yours as well! I have included her letter after the break.
Keysha will have 24 hours to claim her prize by emailing sandra @ sandrarose.com! If we don’t hear from Keysha, a new winner will be announced tomorrow.
Thanks again to everyone who entered and may you continue to enrich others through the joy of giving! There will be another giveaway in the coming months, so please check back!
Special thanks to Tavius Elder at Louis Vuitton!
Update: We we were contacted by our winner yesterday. Here’s an excerpt of what she wrote:
It was great reading all of the well wishes from your readers! One of them even sent me a facebook message to tell me I’d won and to hurry up and contact you! LOL!!

Celebs Out & About: Alicia Keys, La La Vazquez-Anthony, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna
Rihanna was spotted outside her New York hotel wearing denim cutoffs and a plaid button down shirt. It’s amazing how you can see all of a woman’s flaws when you no longer like her. Rihanna’s legs look like meat hooks. Not sexy at all. 
Nicki Minaj was spotted in Miami on her way to open up for Britney Spears in concert on Friday (July 22). Nicki makes sure she is no longer photographed with her loser boyfriend, Safaree Samuels, the one who bashed her in the mouth with her suitcase 2 weeks ago. He still travels with her though. But he carries his weed and drug paraphernalia in his own suitcase. Yes, that’s a Louis Vuitton bag she’s carrying. The shoes are hawt!

Celebs Out & About: Jamie Foxx, Amber Rose
Socialite Amber Rose got a chance to make her own milkshake called “Amber’s Blondie Shake” at Millions of Milkshakes in Hollywood yesterday. Here she is sipping a milkshake with her mom who was also on hand to help her daughter make milkshakes. The action was taped for Amber’s reality tv show, which hasn’t been picked up by a network as of yet. Amber took to her Twitter page to beg her followers to come to the yard, but only 10 of them showed up.
One of them was actor/comedian Jamie Foxx who came out to Millions of Milkshakes yesterday to support Amber and maybe get a taste of her milkshake. Check out Jamie’s $600 Louis Vuitton sneakers.

16-Year-Old named as face of Louis Vuitton label
A 16-year-old who won her modelling contract in a competition has been announced as the new face of Louis Vuitton, according to London’s Daily Mail tabloid.
The naturally beautiful Zimbabwe-born Nyasha Maronhodze started modeling just two years ago after winning the UK Elite Model Look competition in London in 2009.
The tomboy was discovered by a fashion scout in the street in her Northamptonshire hometown and invited down to London to take part in the contest.
The schoolgirl, who arrived for her first casting wearing her school uniform – experienced a meteoric rise through the echelons of the fashion industry, with an impressive debut season that saw her walking for shows including Louise Gray, Clements Ribeiro, Jonathan Saunders during London Fashion Week SS11 as well as Loewe, Emanuel Ungaro, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Louis Vuitton in Paris.
And now, the industry newcomer models couture clothes from Louis Vuitton’s latest collection in a slick advertising campaign art directed by the label’s creative head, Marc Jacobs and shot by world-renowned fashion photographer Stephen Meisel. Source
