Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation held it’s 8th Annual ART FOR LIFE, benefit event celebrating the creative energy of New York City youth this weekend in East Hampton.
This benefit is one of Rush Philanthropic’s most important annual fundraising efforts, attended annually by a sold-out audience of leaders in the entertainment, arts, business, and philanthropic communities.




Beautiful Family, Love to see that, Looks like a lovely affair …….until we get to that hooch that sticks out like a sore thumb…she can declass almost anything
why are the comments so huge now? a couple of minutes ago they were normal size. Anyway, this is the family black america needs to emulate. They are doin the damn thing! Supporting one another and rollin in the dough. I guess i am the only one who thinks Angela looks better than Vanessa. Angela is gorgeous, leave her alone!!!!
BEAUTIFUL BLACK FAMILY THEY ALL LOOK NICE IS THAT YELLOW.
NIA LOOKS CUTE
I DON’T KNOW WHY PPL ARE COMING DOWN ON MELYSSA FORD. WHAT DID SHE DO THAT WAS WRONG? BEING A VIDEO GIRL? OH PLEASE!
YOU KNOW THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WOMEN WHO APPEARED IN MUSIC VIDEOS WRE NOT REFERRED TO AS BITCHES AND HOES. BUT AGAIN AS THUG CULTURE TOOK OVER RAP, THE WAY WOMEN WERE TREATED AND TALKED ABOUT DEGRADED AND THAT INCLUDES THE WOMEN WHOM THESE MEN EMPLOYED TO BE IN THERE VIDEOS.
RAPPERS WOULD TALK ABOUT WOMEN WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN FULL-CLOTHING OR WOMEN THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RAP GAME. OPRAH MIGHT I ADD. THEREFORE RAPPERS USE TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN IN GENERAL.
MEYLSSA FORD IS JUST SOME POOL GIRL FROM THE HOOD WHO NEEDED TO SLLEP WITH SOMEONE TO PAY HER BILLS. SHE HAS ENDORSEMENTS AND DOES QUITE A FEW THINGS PPL DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. MIGHT I ADD SHE’LL BE IN A MOVIE TOO.
HOWEVER JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A VIDEO VIXEN PPL LIKE TO TAKE SHOTS AT HER LIKE THEY DO ALL WOMEN. ALL I EVER SEEN MELYSSA DO IS SHOW HER FACE IN VIDEOS NOT ONCE DID I SEE HER BE A “TIP DRILL” OR TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD THAT SHE FUCKED 1OOO MEN. NOT ALL VIDEO GIRLS ARE LIKE SUPERHEAD.
Nia is my bestfriend. Love that girl.
)The Simmons look absolutely wonderful.
What a beautiful family; the Simmons are.
Thats a nice family.
This is the cutest family…I love em!
Russell lil girls are so beautiful…but my favorite for some reason is the youngest daughter, I think Aoki…she just seems a lil less girly than her older sister, lol…Ming be over there like, “Ooh camera, I gotta look cute” while Aoki be like, ‘Sup? What it do? If I’m posed I’m posed, if I’m not, whateva’…but they’re both cute, I’m just feeling Aoki’s cute, tom-boyish style…not too cutesy lol
Everyone looks great..with the exception of Melyssa Ford..she looks kind of worn out..and is it just me or does NIA’s skin glow?! absolutely beautiful……..xo

Diggy & Russ Jnr. so so cute!
They do look wonderful all together with all that pretty yellow on ! Runs daughters look nice as they do most of the time.They are very stylish and pretty young ladies. The oldest could be a model and the next to oldest has strong resemblance to her dad! Is the ldest son Runs (are all of his chiuldren by Justine, does anyone know.I heard the daughters werent)That oldest boy looks like him also!The young boys are cute,but they look mor elike their mama to me.

My girlfriend and I did the event this past weekend at Russell Simmons home in the Hamptons and it was so much fun. Took real nice picture and everyone looked great. However Nia Long acted very shady to fans that wanted a picture with her, she refused everyone. While everyone else that actually still have an acting career was nice to all their fans.
Ming Lee Simmons,Aoki Simmons,Kimora Lee Simmons,and Ruessll Simmons!!
Ming Lee Simmons,and Aoki Lee Simmons
