Moesha rode up for the party on her Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe. She had left behind the last chapter of her unfinished doctorate dissertation, several loads of laundry, a royalty check from her publisher, and a moody husband. Makayla and her comfort cat Cristobal have just flown back from Fashion Week in Paris where she was on assignment for Harper’s Bazaar reviewing the Balenciaga couture collection and scoring an invite to CR Fashion Book’s ‘La Nuit’ afterparty. Her current boyfriend’s phone calls have been going straight to voicemail all weekend.
Moesha: “Makayla and I have been best friends since sophomore year in college. Through different life choices, three marriages, two children, several homes, an assortment of work situations as well as some slights and misunderstandings along the way, she and I have maintained a friendship that is enriching, edifying, full of openness and sometimes insanely complicated.”
Makayla: “When I received my invitation to the Garden Party in the mail I had just two questions. “Will Moesha be there? and “Are they serving Dom Perignon or Veuve Clicquot?”
