FOOTBALL MEETS FASHION IN DALLAS TEXAS


Remi Ayodele Is Set To Bring His Clothing Line Out To The Masses. Thursday July 14, 2011 Is The Date For The WIERDOZ CLOTHING Fashion Event Sponsored By The STORYBOOK RANCH Foundation @ The Dallas PM GALLERY. 



A different approach to fashion shows will be reviled at the upcoming WIERDOZ CLOTHING preview party. Normally this is some thing you would hear known designers doing, not a professional football player. New clothier Remi Ayodele of the New Orleans Saints is the mind behind the clothing line and event experience. The fashion show will remove the traditional runway down the middle that would normally allow spectators to see the garments make their way back in forth. The Wierdoz Clothing show will add a little more creativity and interaction in some of the different staged areas. The fashion show is structured for the guest to experience some of the elements in this fashion business. Featured areas include a mock photo shoot by fashion photographer Roderick J. Pullum. Then there's the Make-up station along with a tattoo area  There will be other staging areas with Wierdoz Clothing and models being showcased at each of them. DJ Parker Lawson will provide the soundtrack for this fashion experience and a sponsored open bar that will feature a signature drink called the "WIERDO". Some of the confirmed guest include Darren Macfadden-Raiders, Michael Huff-Raiders and Akin Ayodele-Bills.

"Green Bay Packers Donald Driver Is Making His Presence Known, More Ways Than One"



Coming off a spectacular season, Donald Driver is definitely in the "Drivers Seat".



Donald Driver is not your ordinary Green Bay Packer for more reasons than one. He's currently the franchises All-Time Leading Receiver, a Super Bowl Champion, book author, named in 2011 the most marketable athlete in Wisconsin by Nielsen ratings and a humanitarian with a big heart.


Donald has come a long way since coming into the league in 1999. Currently a Super Bowl Champion, he's been a three time Pro Bowl selection (2002, 2006 and 2007), currently holds the record at Lambeau Field for receptions & yards as well as seven 1,000 yard receiving seasons. Pretty impressive stats for the Houston, TX native.



Football is not the only thing he's known for these days. Driver has also authored two children's books titled "Quickie Handles a Loss" and "Quickie Makes the Team". He was announced as one the most marketable athletes by Nielsen ratings in WI. Which shows a lot about his character both on and off the field. But it doesn't end there. Donald also received the Walter Payton Award in 2002, the only NFL award that recognizes off the field community service as well as player excellence.


Donald and his wife Betina created the “Donald Driver Foundation” in 2001, which offers assistance to ill children with unmanageable hospital bills, provides housing for the homeless, and donates to a variety of local charities.

When it lands at Arlington’s Cowboys Stadium, it will mark the first Super Bowl in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It will mark a first for a handful of promising young athletes, as well.
