Hip hop royalties seeking new talents… that’s what we like to call the New Voices Tour. Two hip hop families send their offspring to search for the freshest voices in the music industry. Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and his brother, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, along with producer Antonio “LA Reid”, teamed up and send their kids to select the next big thing in music. Pastry Shoes owners, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, along with Antonio Reid Jr and Aaron Reid are still on tour and after tackling Washington DC, they’re now on their way to Orlando, Dallas and San Diego.
So what’s New Voices Tour anyway? Like we previously mentioned, it’s a competition to find the next big star in music. Winners from each city will perform at the New York finale by Antonio “LA” Reid and “Rev Run”. Aside from that, the winner will get:
an Artist Development Deal With The A&R Factory
a Recording Budget To Professionally Record Your Best Songs
selected Contestants Will Be Chosen To Compete On 106 & Park’s Wild Out Wed
a Full Makeover By A Professional Celebrity Stylist
a Private Showcase With Some Of The Top Music Industry Recording Labels
a Professional Write-Up In A Major Music Website And/Or Magazine

Okay okay we get it, you miss Vanessa Simmons. Â We do too! Â But Pastry Shoes co-owner and Daddy’s Girls star is keeping it low profile. Â Maybe she’s cozying it up with boyfriend Mike Wayans, and busy running things at Pastry headquarters, we don’t know. Â But what we know is… Vanessa is excited about the new Pastry Box of Chocolates collection and tweeted the newest kicks. Â Here they are:
That’s the Truffle Runner from the Pastry Shoes Box of Chocolate Collection. So yummy and sweet.
And this pair is the Krumpit, also from Pastry’s Box of Chocolate Collection. Â Vanessa tweeted: “Dance Kick with Spin and Slide Tech!” Â Sounds really futuristic.
But enough about the shoes, we know you miss the girl, so here’s Vanessa Simmons looking all fab with her homegirls, including her sister, Angela.
The Simmons sisters know how to have fun, and although Vanessa weren’t at the Justin Bieber X Jessica Jarrell concert, Angela Simmons was there and she was very lucky to have been photographed with the Canadian teenage heartthrob.
We. Are. Envious.
Seriously, girls. Â How do you keep up work and having so much fun?
