  • ATL Housewives Celebrate Cynthia Bailey’s THE BAILEY AGENCY: School of Fashion Launch… [PHOTOS]

    Jul, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Real “Housewife” of Atlanta/Supermodel Cynthia Bailey celebrated the grand opening of her dream come true.

    Cynthia recently held a launch party for her school of fashion, where she confirmed plans to partner with colleague Marcus Jackson of CALIBER Enterprises (a fashion, event and talent management consulting company).

    Coined “The Bailey Agency,” the school is Cynthia’s personal vision for an instructional program that will offer students an intense 6-week course covering all areas of the fashion industry including modeling, photography and production.

    The launch party drew the attention of fashion industry vets throughout Atlanta, such as designer Mychael Knight and celebrity photographer Derek Blanks and was also taped for an upcoming episode of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    That being said, you already know each and every one of the Atlanta “housewives” were in the building (even rumored “newbie” /ex-convict Marlo Hampton) to celebrate the launch and mug it up for the cameras!

    Cute couple 🙂

    A lot has happened in the months since Wiz and I chatted in that conference room.

    In addition to his being attached by the tongue to Amber Rose, Wiz has been gettin’ busy with his Rolling Papers Tour, ‘which rolled up’ to the ATL yesterday (July 12, 2011).

    The event was held at the historic Masquerade venue, which is only so big on the inside, but Wiz and Big Sean performed in an outside setting, where fans were treated to a rock star concert in the sunshine.

    A few of Atlanta’s top DJ’s came through in support of the tour…

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

        🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still clo 🚨 UPDATE: Kenya Moore’s Hair Spa is still closed as of today *Nov 7, 2025! 

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
