Boris Kodjoe Ziami Showcase@The Wortham Theatre



Houston's very own future supermodel Gregory Malonson.








Boris Kodjoe & his equally gorgeous brother Patrick Kodjoe debuted thier custom clothing line Ziami at The Wortham Theatre over the weekend. I can really appreciate Ziami's concept of tailor making clothes to drape the individual's personal body needs. You don't have to spend a lot of money to look like a million bucks sometimes all that's necessary is a good fit especially for those of us with a little extra junk in the trunk. I was also impressed with the monogram tags that can be added to personalized your clothes. My favorite piece from the women's line was the blue pants suit pictured above. The studded jeans out of the menswear line were hot although I would've like to see a women's version. Ziami is not only promoting their clothing line they are also hiring individual sales rep's.

I had the opporunity to mix it up with Boris after the show and I have to say that as hard as it was to look at him and not fantasize about slurrping him up like the brown sugar that he is I managed to keep my professional demeanor. Unlike the other times that I met him and was so awe struck that I forgot we spoke the same language. This time I remebered my native tongue (No not that one your thinking) and spit my German on him. As he was exiting the stage I said "Entschuldigen sie bitte..." He turned and looked a me with those beautiful eyes of his & a familiar smile spread across his face.
I introduced myself and asked "Woher Kommen Sie?" He looked impressed and responded "Austria" all the while posing for the local paparazzi.
I responded "Aagh! Iche bin Deustcheland geborgen. I thought you were from Germany."
Social Privy Tip> It's good to know another language. (I was born in Germany & I had no choice but to learn German because my German babysitter who spoke very little English didn't like it when I grabbed her titty when I was hungry.)
I could have taken the opportunity to reminisce with Borris about the first time we met years ago when he was a modeling with P'Diddy's girlfriend Kim Porter in The Absolute Citron Fashion show downtown at the The Bayou Plaza.(Now he's showcasing his own clothing line at The Wortham Theatre sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka, isn't life funny.) I peeped his swagger on the runway back then and thought to myself Da-yummn! After the show wrapped the models were mingling throughout the party as I walked to the ladies room I noticed him standing by the door with a suitcase. So I walked up to him and told how much I enjoyed the show (yes, I was flirting). I asked him why he wasn't hanging out with the rest of the models & he explained he was waiting for his car service. He wished he could stay but he had a international flight to catch & was concerned about missing his flight because the car service was running late.
You know what they say when opportunity strikes...what in the hell do you think I did? I offered him a ride. (Get your mind out the gutter I really would've taken his fine ass to the airport.) He must have seen something nasty in my eye because he declined. I told him ok, but if you change your mind...
15 minutes later I saw him standing outside by the curb as I was waiting for my car by the valet stand. I looked at him like the offer is still on the table. He smiled with a look of should I? He was probably thinking my mommy told me not to get in car's with strangers but...)
I'm thinking where is that damn valet with my car. How much ish' do I have in my passenger seat? Damn he's got some long a$$ legs will my seats go back? (lol) Do I have enough gas to make it to Intercontinental?
Just then a black town car screeched around the corner. He looked back at me & graciously said "That's me, but Thank You."
I smiled "No problem." But inside my soul screamed "LAAAAAWWWWD! Why hast thou forsaken me!" Ugghh I hate valet.
Several years later here we are again. This time he's a supermodel/actor/entreprenuer with a beautiful family. I ain't madatcha Borris you're still sexy as hell to me & I respect your business acumen and most of all your family values. Also please check out http://boris-world.com/ he needs our help raising funds for surgical research of a medical condition called Spina Bifida which affects his daughter Sophia as well as an average of 8 infants a day.
Luv ya :(
