The 5th Annual Hoodie Awards that took place over the weekend in Las Vegas, and was hosted by Steve Harvey. I know what some of you are thinking…what the hell is the “Hoodie” awards?
In case you haven’t heard of it, the Hoodie awards is the award show for the people. Celebrities give out awards to categories from “Best Barbor Shop” to “Best Fried Chicken Spot” to communities nominated. Guests this year included Tichina Arnold, Tank, Musiq, and Mo’Nique…

Everybody looked better at the BET hip hop awards, most of these people look like they went to Rainbow and Ashley Stewart for their clothes and Gussini for their shoes.

couldn’t they think ofa better name than “hoodie”? (i’m assuming “hoodie” means “hood”). once again, black folks are negatively labeled. *rolls eyes*

I agree with #7 on Tichina’s bra. Didn’t she just have a baby or something? I can’t believe Kym is wearing that cheap sundress. I bought that exact dress this summer from a basic clothing store for like so cheap.

Why is Tichina wearing her bra and a hiked up skirt? That’s terrible.
I see Steve got rid of that miserable-faced ex-wife. Man she was sour. At least this one has some fashion and photo sense…

i like musiq soulchild’s musiq…but if u look closely u can see his “glass eye” behind his shades,,,,,mo’nique could get it, she looks good for a BIG girl..BUT i heard she dont shave her legs and in that pic it looks a little fury on her legs-not sexy…maybe im too young to know who Salli Richardson is but she is fine as hell…

Steve’s son is too clean! His shoes match his tailored made walking suit.
Sallie Richardson?? girl where have you been? She still looks really pretty, but that Judge Hatchett season 1 hairstyle has got to go!!
Kym, it is after Labor Day. Please take off those white boots and throw them back under your bed. I know it’s the hoodie awards but you don’t have to come dressed like the life-size version of the award.
Dawn still looks like she did when she was Jaleesa on “A Different World”.

After all these years, I’m still in love with Salli Richardson. With her flat-ass chest.
Steve, the tail of a man’s suit should never extend lower than the middle of his thumb. Your lil man gonna get you for this one.

I wish Steve would have put his son in the middle or someone would have wrapped their arms around him so that he didn’t look like the odd man out.It’s just so awkward with him standing on the side.I remember when they first started doing th Hoodie Awards when he was with 100.3 the beat(V103 is the new name I think).It has the perfect name but I respect them for honoring the people who rarely get the appreciation they deserve.

Sorta look like Steve’s son borrowed one of his suits(jk)–anyway, Rebel, that is not a cute family pic–look how they forgot to include the son, he should have been in the middle or at least Steve’s woman should have put her arm around him. It looks like they forgot he was there with them(in the pic).

I hate every suit Steve Harvey has ever put on his body! I can’t stand when people say he looks nice either lol. Just because you got a suit on, it doesn’t make it nice lol. His damn suits don’t even fit! Just yards of fabric for no reason lol. He needs a tailor and quick! They already about 30 years too late lol. My man been dressing like that forever! Let’s not talk about the box cut…
geesh…*shakes head*
He’s still my dude just his dress game…
-6 LOL
Damn a lot of these people look a mess lol…Why Dawn Lewis look like she about to star as Tina Turner in a new film LOL

Steve Harvey and family–Nice.
Salli–SEXY.
Tichina–Fly as ever.
Mo’Nique–Haters keep on hatin’, but I love Mo. She’s undeniably beautfiul and she knows how to rock whatever style she has on. Go head Mo.
Tank–This brother can come to my place anytime. I’d have preferred to see him WITHOUT CLOTHES, lol!! His body is off the chain, and I wonder what he’s packin’ down there
Musiq–Love your music, but sorry, you just didn’t look right here.
Kym–We got ourselves the H.A.M. Looks like Jackée Harry gone wrong (love Jackée though)!
Anthony–OK.
Dawnn–Fierce.

Steve w/ fam looks like the fiancee was more interested in the photo op. & clearly forgot the son was there. Step child syndrome.
Dawnns dress is just a tad too short for her.

Unsure about Tichinas bra dress.
Everybody else looks good.

How gorgeous is Salli Richardson?? I mean, I don’t care what you guys say, she was always prettier than Halle Berry….I could never figure out why she never went to that next level the way Halle did…strange, because she’s just as good of an actress.

why is it when people with celebrity status make it out of the so called “Hood” and don’t look back at the community that has made them who they are, or called sell outs and they have forgotten were they came from. Then you have celebrities such as Steve Harvey that try and give back to the community which is better known as the “Hood” and salute those business that would have not been saluted at any other awards show which would not only give them better notoriety but also more business generated their way, we have such a negative response? To me it seems like whatever road you try to take people have something negative to say… Should they have called it the ghetto awards which truth be told that’s what upscale America would call the “Hood”, it’s like we can call it the hood but don’t broadcast it to the world..come on people some of the most respected and wealthiest people generated from the so called ghetto. When the BET awards started it was frowned upon and it has really grown into something big with sponsors from all over. I think we can be our worst enemy at times because these people are being recognized and as well as they should be because we grew up on their services (food/car wash/ Beauty shops etc..) and some people travel far and wide from all over to visit them. So I think we should support them especially when no one else would… And thanks to concreteloop for bringing us this event, we would have never seen it on entertainment tonight oh I guess we would have respected it more umhhhh. Just something to think about and that the have people like Tashina, Monique, Tank, Mosique etc to support it as well.

Glad you brought that up, CL. Steve Harvey, even in his celeb status, was a local DJ on our local radio station in LA. He started the Hoodie Awards locally as a tribute to some of the unsung heroes of the said categories. It was always great to hear.
I must admit, on one hand, I am glad the hoodie awards has been expanded to include national unsung local heroes, so to speak, but it’s a little bittersweet losing the local touch, of having the awards done locally. But in order to grow, you must grow.
I love them.
69.
WOW!
Monday, October 22, 2007 /
40 is looking greaet on celebrities these days and to that end Salli looks beautiful!! A little on the thin side, but she is still pretty. LMAO at #22 “Dawn’s Bank Account….”
Does Steve Harvey really wear a toupee? I could have sworn his hair was really thin during his first days on the Apollo LOL!!

ThinkAboutIt
Monday, October 22, 2007 /
Steve’s idea for recognizing businesses and organizations from the community is a very good idea. They recognize people and organizations that probably would not otherwise be recognized and that’s great — it’s time though, to step it up a bit.
Most of these guests look like they gave no thought to their outfits, and if they did, that’s even worse.
The picture with Steve’s son looks a little awkward, almost like he wasn’t supposed to be in the picture. That’s not a good look. I know Steve loves him to death, but when you remarry, you need to be more mindful of even small issues and how it impacts children.

______________________
He’s wearing something, because back when he was on Def Comedy, his hair was really thin too. Whatever he has, it works for him, and he always has his hair looking tight, but I think that’s why he can’t wear it shorter.

Was this best dress contest or were they there for something more meaningful? That’s why black people can’t keep a bank account because you will go and spend $1,000 on a out fit and live in the projects paying $30 for rent???? Because some of us try and live beyond our means .. White mega stars show up at awards with a Wal-Mart shirt a chain belt and cut up jeans which I see have spilled into the hip hop community (nice look)…. Any way ask Toni Braxton why she was rich one day and broke the next if you look into it, her expensive taste for gowns which could cost her tens of thousands of dollars contribute to her having to file bankruptcy. Hey they showed up that’s all that mattered!
