Photo by Freddy O Exclusively for Sandrarose.com

My photographer Freddy O and I were invited by Peachtree TV’s Sarah Schmitz to capture exclusive behind the scenes shots of Monica and friends while she filmed her new reality TV series, “Monica: The Single”, on Friday (6/20).

During a break in the filming, Monica joined her cousin Ludacris, Solange, Bryan Michael Cox and Peachtree TV execs at Luda’s new restaurant, Straits. It turns out Solange is a Sandrarose.com reader. She said, “YOU’RE THAT FREDDY O BOY?!”, when introduced to my photographer at the restaurant following her performance at The Tabernacle last night.

We here at Sandrarose.com love the new direction Solange has taken her music in. She can’t help who her sister is. It took courage to abandon the trail blazed by her sister to develop a musical style all her own. And we LOVE it!

We also love Solange’s fashion sense. Here she poses with Ludacris at his restaurant last night. Her shoes are Marni and the bag is by Gucci. I couldn’t find the bag online so if someone could help me with the price I’ll edit this post. More pics on Monday!

Product details below:

Marni Platform Sandals
Sandal in shiny patent calf leather. Two small buckled belts slide into metal slots respectively placed on a raw-edged band round the heel and on two edges rising laterally from the sole and wrapping up the toes. The shape of the sole is really peculiar: it actually looks like a leaf if seen from above.
