I guess we can now call them International Business women – d Brits def luve them tho!
love them but what horrible shoes, LOL, and at 29 i’m sure i’m far from their target demo but trust and believe even at 19 i wouldn’t have worn them…
Got to love black successful women
Go head then ladies! You can’t knock their hustle. Get it! I like Angela’s ring and they both look great.
GREAT JOB THE INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS ARE THE BIZNEZZ!!!!!
I purchased some of these delightfully cute pastry shoes for my seven year old daughter at the beginning of the school year, however the bottoms are now flapping on both shoes. This has never happened before in any of her shoes, as a black business owner myself I want to support black business and give them one more try.
Has anyone else had any experiences with these shoes good or bad? Maybe, we purchased a bad pair?
I purchased a pair of High Top sequin on the side all black pastrys in October 2012. In less than 2 months, the sole stated to come unstitched or unglued. I will NEVER purchase another pair. I liked the shoes & wanted to support the girls but spending my money wisely is more important.
Vanessa always looks great…Angela is another story…I just don’t know what it is about her that bothers me
young entrepenuers always good!
If their shoes are already givin problems for the consumers – that cant be a good look. I need these black business people to start ensuring they have some quality products – I love me some Kimora but sometimes you ask yourself will she really wear some of those baby phat or even Kls clothes you see in the stores!
get it girls…
I love the shoes, even at 27… I still rock them because I have an eccentric style so they work for me!!
I love these two, Angela is hilarious
These young women are great role models for young girls aspiring to get into fashion. International business women and they aren’t even 25 yet.
Go girls! They seem to be intelligent and know what they want. And I know they’ve bee raised right.
I CANT WAIT FOR THEIR SHOW!!!!
ohh…And Vanessa looks really cute with that hair cut! Love Angie too
LOL, I agree #13, Angela is so brolic and New Jersey w/her accent, I love it
lol…dang Angela and Russy look SO MUCH alike GEESH!
Love them!! They gave to much short notice for this, otherwise I would’ve went down to catch them.
I see why they called there line pastry …like duh!!! cuz there so sweet
Their pops is a legend. They however, are famous for ____________??? Yea, I dunno either.
Nepotism at it’s finest.
I’m all for advancement but make sure you sell a quality product that you believe in…..
I’m all for advancement but sell a quality product that you believe in. If you believe in it then the consumer will too.
Their father is a legend. However, who wants to tell us what they are famous for?
Nepotism at it’s finest
#22
They’re fake…Angela wouldn’t wear that trash
They we’re introduced in Amsterdam too, I wonder if they will come here to promote also.. I love them shoes, when i was in ny i bought 2 pair.. lol
well now i dont have to do that anymore..
However, they are doing the damn thing!
Wow i didn’t know they were gonna be in London, if i did i probably would have gone to see them.
lol i had an invite to this…but i didn’t go cos i thought it was just for chicks? but damnnn they are FIIINE (the sisters, not the sneakers)
THA SHOEZ ARE 2 CUTE SOO RETRO, 80′S STLYE! LIKE MINEZ I GOT LIKE 3 PARIS OF EM! U ROKIN THA PASRTYS THEY GOTTA MATCH WAT U WEARIN!
love those two!
its just too bad those shoes are hideous.
They do seem like nice girls but I agree with #22…w/o their last name, daddy and uncles fame, or the show, there would be no shoe or clothing line or magazine.
Glad the girls are still doing their thing!
Love Angie, and Vanessa is just okay, a bit in the clouds, but thats okay since shes also classy…The clothes are on the rise, meaning I see peop buying and wearing them, but I have never seen a child or adult rocking the shoes. Ps. KiKi Mo, Kimora is that chick, everything is materialistic eye candy and must have.
The girls are not sitting on their ass living off their parents, they are not on drugs and partying hard, they are not in trouble, they have a career that they creative started, yes they had a platform, but we have seem many celeb kids ruin that platform…they were born in that household and that does not make them a product of…what are they famous for?…HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION…EQUAL SUCCESS, RICH, MIDDLE CLASS, OR POOR.
Can someone tell me how much the Pastry’s cost??
ARE ANGELA AND VENESSA STEP SISTERS?
they makin their money tho
for some reason i dont like the younger one.
As a consumer…it is my opinion that if celebrities are creating a label, if I don’t see them rock their own ish….why would I be inspired to rock it. Like why would Vanessa be promoting Pastries and have on Gucci boots….I’d rather have the Gucci boots.
Its true they wouldn’t be business owners without the hand of their father, BUT these girls are establishing careers for themselves. Their making their own money! Unlike the Whoredarshians or HoHiltons who milk thier parents fame!
I think Angela and Vanessa are great role models, they carry themselves well and are ambitious girls. Its also a shame that the media give more attention to Parasite Hilton than they do to the girls who at least have some talent/intelligence.
21,22,23 you two are haters at their finest! That is not an opinion that is just trash coming out of your mouth. You see how some people on the post made valid points as to some things they may be doing wrong, like not having the best quality or not self promoting your brand at these events, that is positive critisim.
but these girls are hard workers you can clearly see that so stop it. Lets be realistic for a moment eveyone knows in Business it is not what you know it is who you know.
So to sum it up….. cut it out
Happy Turkey Day All!
I surely wish I had family start up money and pull!
ITA@ with M. LOVE. Kimora is the only celeb designer I see rocking her tacky line 24/7. I can appreciate that she at least stands by her label.
Why would you wear another designer’s shoes to promote YOUR shoes?
@ 32 DONT NO WHEREU BE AT A LOT OF PELOPE WHERE PASTRY KID!
USALLY AT LOT OF HIGH SHOOLERZ WHRE THEM
AND 80′ S BABIES WHERE THEM TO GO TO NYC ULL SEE THEM
I HAVENT HAD ANY OR HEARD OF ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR SHOES… BUT THEY’RE DOING THE DAMN THANG I AINT MAD AT EM!
The Simmons girls seem like great people but to say they put forth ‘hard work and determination’ is a slap in the face to all designers out there who start out with no name, no connections and establish themselves in the fashion industry. Noted: Angela did go to college for fashion. But lets keep it real. Nepotism & the fact that their family was in the business/famous is the reason they have their own business not because of what they did but who they are, thats just stating facts.
May I add I like the girls, but I don’t like the shoes.
But what shocked me was when 13 year old Diggy announced that he wanted his own clothing line, and that he got one after asking Uncle Russell on just idea/concept alone. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Furthermore don’t label others as haters when they’re stating facts. But ultimately, It is what it is.
i luv their shoes. i have a “different eccentric” style so it works for me
as for the person with bottoms flapping. u probably baoght a bad pair cuz i have 4 pairs and i wear them on the regz and they are still good and i bought mine a year and a half ago. and wear them everywhere cuz i cant afford to be buying shoes that i wear twice a year LOL
oh and the thing about designers not wearing thier own stuff LOL.
even beyonce wears mama tinas creole creations sometimes.
but imma guess that the girls wanted a more professional look and you cant be all professional with kicks.
haters to the max!!!!
these girls got connections to get thier foot in the door. the rest is on their own. cant knock the hustle
I mean I THINK they’re cool peoples, but they shoes is ugly lets be honest-
But no the less much respect, GET YOURS SHYT!
I gotta support young, black entrepreneurs!! It’s great to see Angela and Vanessa pursuing their own business ventures, and not just being content to sit back and live off Daddy’s $$. (Like so many of those so-called “socialites”). Kudos to both of them.
“Gossip Girl”
You’re full of shit. The most popular “socialites” (Paris and Kim), have probably made more money on their own than both Angela and Vanessa combined.
AND WHY ARE MY DAMN COMMENTS ALWAYS “AWAITING MODERATION”
@35 -
no. they have the same dad and mom. jojo too.
#39
2003 called they want the word “hater” back
@ 50 – Too bad those socialites claim to fame was a sex tape and being party animals, and one of those socialites’ had to befriend the other, and ride her fame. Yeah, we should all praise and envy their rise to the top.

History in the making

. Its also a shame that the media give more attention to Parasite Hilton than they do to the girls who at least have some talent/intelligence.
============================================
I agree with this. It is a shame that they are nice girls promoting a positive image and get little attention, yet the socialites with trashy images, the media shoves them down the public throat, and tries to past them off as ‘sweethearts’. If the black girls had a trashy image, they would be unforgiven.
But I still behind what I said about the Simmons children riding their. It would have been nice to see them go out ,w/o asking their dad or uncle for help, and make moves on their own. That’s hasn’t been the case, except for Angela’s modeling and acting career, which she was doing before the show. She did not go to Run and ask for her to hook him up with his connections. She was out grinding on her own. Do you really think that if they didn’t have the reality show to promote the line and sell their personalities, that the show line would be successful – or even exist? They ALL use the show as a vehicle to promote their business ventures. And that’s what reality shows have became for all those that have appear in one, and that’s why so many have jumped on the bandwagon.
It’s funny how all the Simmons chitlins are expanding on buissness ventures. Two have a shoe line, one is pretty much living in the shadows of his father “New Age Run DMC”, and the other one begged uncle Rus for his clothing line.
NEPOTISM riding the coat-tails of your families fame. I think maybe that’s why people can’t take them serious.
I know, I can’t. They’re a joke
Setting a positive example would be going to college, receiving a quality education, and utilizing what you just learned to set up your OWN business ventures.
To # 55 – Vanessa has a quality education from St. John’s University and is utilizing what she learned so you should be careful what you say…I know because I was in her graduating class.
GO V&A – get your promo on…my cousin actually wants a pair of pastries!
imma need for her to take that raged weave out
geesh!
#21 ah don’t be crazy.#1They’re famous for the reality show and introducing the pastry kicks on the show.DUH!
And i see they’ve received some folks who are jealous of them already.They’re under the age of 25 and Have already received success that a lot of people reach at the age of 25.A lot of people have said sometimes its who you know that helps you make it.Well for them its who they are…their upbringing.Their father and uncle…has given them a chance to succeed and whatever they want to do.You can’t hate on that…
When someone is successful in a family such as the father.And to be an unselfish man like Rev Run.He has given his children a chance to succeed.Russell is their uncle and he is the reason. for the upbringing of pastry kicks as well.He OKed it….
#2 Misery loves company.Don’t hate,Congratulate….
They’re two beautiful young black women
who came up with an idea and seen an opportunity and Took it.
Any who who takes them as a joke is a joke.It is what it is….
Congrats Vanessa and Angela.
I purchased a pair of pastry kicks last yr and will be purchasing some more.They’re good quality sneakers…my sneakers still looking fresh.Might I add that they’re very comfortable as well.My favorite Pair!Purchased them from drjays in NYC.
