    It’s been several months since Cynthia Bailey‘s modeling school ‘The Bailey Agency‘ closed it’s doors and speculation began immediately that the business had failed.

    Contrary to internet rumors, The Bailey Agency School of Fashion, which opened July 5, 2011, had actually outgrown its space and the location was placed for lease as the new location was being completed.Peter Cynthia Derek Blanks SFTA

    Bailey has now joined forces with celebrity photographer Derek Blanks, and the two have combined their successful businesses and now share a location. Seems like a win/win collaboration… Cynthia has all the young, up & coming models in need of headshots and Derek is quite well known for creating brilliant photos!

    Bailey and Blanks celebrated the grand opening of their new location with an all White party last weekend, which (coincidentally) will be aired on the upcoming 6th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    Nene Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore & Porsha Stewart all joined their fellow Atlanta ‘housewife’ in celebration of her grand opening. Fashion Queens, Derek J and Lawrence Washington also showed their support.

    Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta held her huge vow renewal wedding ceremony alongside her fake ex-hubby Greg last night in Atlanta (June 23, 2013).

    The ceremony was being taped for Nene’s RHOA wedding spin-off, ‘I Dream of Nene: The Wedding’ and guests of the swanky event were required to sign confidentiality agreements in advance.

    Of course you are aware that the ‘bloggers’ who brag so much about being at RHOA events can’t actually BLOG about them until they air, but fortunately for you… I stayed away so that I could spill ALL THE TEA in advance!

    BTW… I had a dream last night that may have been a premonition:

    RHOA’s Peter Thomas Announces 1st Annual ‘UnScripted Reality Awards’… [PHOTOS]

    May, 1 2013 | Written by ATLien

    ?Peter Thomas Dave Mays Unscripted Awards

    The City of Atlanta has officially transition from the great ‘music boom’ of the 90’s to the ‘reality show mecca’ of the new millennium and as evidence of this known fact, ‘Househusband’ Peter Thomas of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has created a new awards show.

    Cynthia BaileyPeter invited a few reality stars and several media outlets to his Bar One Restaurant and Lounge last night (April 1, 2013) to make the special announcement.

    Thomas, along with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Benzino and David Mays (the founders and creators of ‘How Can I Be Down’ Music Conference, The Source Magazine, The Source Awards and Hip Hop Weekly), have teamed up to produce the first ever “UnScripted Reality Awards.”

    The UnScripted Reality Awards will honor individuals who star in the plethora of reality shows that entertain and intrigue us.

    There is an award show that acknowledges and honors the incredible talent and overwhelming influence of Reality TV Stars. Just as the film community has the Oscars, the music community has the Grammys, and the television community has the Emmys, this award show will bring focus to the genre that is steadily making a huge mark on popular culture.

    In addition to Peter and his supermodel ‘housewife’ Cynthia Bailey, several reality show stars came out hoping to score brownie points for an award in support of the new venture, including cast members from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, The Kandi Factory, Married to Medicine, R&B Divas, Basketball Wives, Big Rich Atlanta and more.

    RECAP: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5 Reunion (Part 3) + Watch Full Video…

    Apr, 21 2013 | Written by ATLien

    RHOA S5 Reunion 3 SFTA-7
    The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s 5th season has finally come to a close with the airing of the third installment of the reunion show (April 21, 2013).

    RHOA S5 Reunion 3 SFTA-1All of the Atlanta ‘househusbands’ joined the set for the final installment of the reunion and all the gentlemen had their ladies backs.

    Peter Thomas
    , Gregg Leakes, Todd Tucker and Apollo Nida all spoke up in support of their women while Kordell Stewart and Walter Jackson were noticeably absent.

    [READ: Walter Jackson Wasn’t Invited To RHOA Reunion and He’s NOT Happy… ]

    It’s no secret now why Porsha Stewart’s husband Kordell wasn’t in attendance, since he actually filed for divorce the day after the taping. (I’ll address that later in this post).

    Kandi Burruss and her fiance Todd Tucker were first up as they spoke about their relationship.? Bravo’s Andy Cohen reminded the Grammy award winning ‘housewife’ that it was actually a witch doctor in Africa who predicted the relationship during season 4, stating that the love of her life was with her… and always watching her.

    [PHOTOS: Kandi & Todd’s Cute Couple Photo Shoot… ]

    At the time,? many felt they were referring to Kandi’s? deceased former fiance Ashley “AJ” Jewell, however it was actually Todd, who was a producer on the set at the time, who was actually always there… watching. *creepy right?*

    [Sidebar: That same witch doctor told Nene Leakes that she had a good man in her husband Greg and told Sheree Whitfield she would die lonely and alone in her large home.]

    5 Things I Learned From RHOA S5 Ep18 – Watch FULL Video…

    Mar, 18 2013 | Written by ATLien

    RHOA S5 Ep18 StraightFromTheA-11

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta aired it’s 18th episode of the 5th season last night (March 17, 2013) and the focus switched back to Kenya Moore and her fake ex-boyfriend Walter Jackson all over again.

    This time around, Kenya recruits former Atlanta Falcons player Jamal Anderson to show and prove that she still has a few romantic options, however her ploy merely proves that she’s willing to do anything and everything to keep the drama going.

    [FLASHBACK: Peter Thomas Hosts Black Tie Event + Kenya Moore Steals The Show With Dramatics… (PHOTOS)]

    Moore’s fellow RHOA “newbie” Porsha Stewart sheds a few tears in this episode, as she and her “controlling” hubby discuss how her budding career will affect the chores she has at home.

    What’s @porshadstewart‘s career tho? Is it being on #rhoa ?? I’m confused…. #straightfromthea

        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. 👽🛸

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?
