"Basketball Wives" [RECAP]: A Trip To London Fashion Week

This week on “Basketball Wives,” the girls began their annual girls trip and we know how those can go! For this year’s excursion, the girls chose to jet to London for Fashion Week which was perfect for Evelyn because she could debut her new clothing line in the midst of it all.

The girls got there safe and sound and actually managed to put all of their differences aside and enjoy their time across the pond….well, not without a few upsets, of course. Tami had a big scare and there was plenty of shade to go around, though Suzie and her alter ego, Little Tami, were in check! Surprised? Me too! Find out what happened inside.

The ladies arrived in London in style, but after being in the UK for about 20 minutes, Suzie immediately wondered where the strip clubs were and if the strippers got spray tanned or just danced pale. Leave it to Suzie to turn even a trip to London into a sexual encounter. At least she broke the ice, sort of.

Tasha saw this as the perfect opportunity to throw a couple jabs in Suzie’s direction, suggesting that Suzie had been feeling extra “froggy” these days and that she should take her meds. Here these two go again! Suzie told Tasha that she did like her at first but not so much anymore, and that she was just way too stuck up. Meanwhile, the rest of the ladies were just praying that tension didn’t rise any higher at least until they all got out of the car and into their hotel rooms.

Once they all checked into their hotels, they decided to meet again to toast to a great vacation ahead of them. We all know that liquor mixed with bad attitudes was a no-no for this group, but as usual, they insist on getting drunk and partying with their frenemies.

Tami brought out Tasha’s “birthday gift” which was a bottle of the most bougie wine she could find. Although Tami brought the wine as a joke to show Tasha how bougie she really was, Tasha took Tami’s present as a kind gesture. “Actually it was supposed to be a little diss but that child, she so bougie, she received it with open arms,” Tami said. Girl bye, none of you would turn down a good bottle!

It was obvious that Tasha and Suzie couldn’t be in each other’s presence for more than 5 seconds without one making a jab at the other because before we knew it, they were at it again. It didn’t look like there was any hope that these two could get along, even in a beautiful place like London. SMH.

While in London, Tami received one of the biggest scares of her life: her daughter, Jazz, was robbed at gun point. Tami was of course very shaken up and couldn’t rest until she knew that her baby girl was alright. She told Suzie to let the other girls know that she wouldn’t be able to make the first round of fashion shows because she was dealing with drama at home, but assured the girls that once everything was taken care of she would make the next set of shows.

When Suzie relayed the message of Tami’s family issues back to the other girls, they were all shaken up and understood Tami’s concern. They all had daughters of their own and knew exactly how Tami must be feeling at the moment. This issue seemed to put everything in perspective for the girls, especially Tasha and Suzie. The ladies seemed to have a silent agreement that their argument was petty and there were bigger issues in the world they could be worried about.

Later at dinner, all of the ladies got together and Tami brought up Tasha and Suzie’s feud. Both of the girls apologized to each other and it seemed as if all was well and everyone looked happy, for now.

Evelyn’s Fashion Debut

The time had come for Evelyn to debut her fashion line, Vida Lux, during Fashion Week. Although she was a nervous wreck, she was ready to show her creations to the world. She enlisted her daughter, Shaniece, to model for the line and be the face of Vida Lux as well as a couple other models from the UK area.

The show was perfect! All of the models looked  great and the dresses looked amazing! Ev was very proud of her creation and all of the girls were extremely proud to be there to support their friend! Evelyn also announced at the end of show that some of the proceeds would go to Evelyn’s new foundation for battered and abused women! Way to go, Evelyn!

What did you think about Ev’s fashion line? Would you buy any of the dresses?
