(REPOST) RC attends Trina Braxton’s 40th Birthday Bash [PHOTOS]

Written by | Ray Cornelius

The Braxton Family Values episode featuring Trina Braxton’s 40th Birthday Party airs tonight at 9 p.m. EST on WEtv and yours truly was there. I had such a blast covering it with my photographer, Megan Alodie and catching up with my friends, Thomas Harrison and Russell Taylor. A very BIG THANK YOU to publicist extraordinaire, Jonell Whitt for the invite.  I’m hoping the camera captured the above featured photo of me with the birthday girl and RHOA star Porsha Williams.

Ain’t No Party Like a Braxton Party, Cause a Braxton Party Don’t Stop!

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the 40th Birthday Celebration for singer, songwriter and reality star Trina Braxton. The super hero-themed party was held at exclusive ilounge in the East Atlanta Village.

All of Trina’s famous sisters attended the private event dressed as their favorite animated character including Toni Braxton as Storm and Tamar Braxton as Poison Ivy. Mrs. Evelyn Braxton wowed party goers as the deliciously evil Cruella Deville while Traci Braxton and Towanda Braxton arrived as sexy super sheroes. Trina made a grand entrance to her smash hit record, “Party or Go Home” wearing an all-black costume A la New Orleans Mardi Gras. She later thanked her family and friends for coming out to support her big night.

Also in attendance were some of Trina’s besties including “Married to Medicine” star Dr. Jackie Walters, “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Porsha Williams, fashion designer and reality star Reco Chapple, VH1 You Oughta Know artist Russell Taylor, media maven JaQuitta Williams and actress Reece Odum. “Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta” stars Benzino and Althea “Thi Thi” Heart were also spotted in the crowd.

Attendees rocked the dance floor to the hot sounds from DJ Johnnie Dynamite and dined on delights from Conch City Seafood Restaurant. There was also an opportunity to take a souvenir photo in the Big Bad Booth.
