A huge 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti, late Tuesday afternoon, and most areas in its capital, Port-au-Prince is under severely damaged condition. Although no number of death toll has been confirmed yet, hundreds of thousands of people are feared to have been killed, following the devastating disaster. The world immediately turned its attention to the suffering country, especially from public figures with close ties to Haiti such as musician, Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti and “Heroes” actor, Jimmy Jean-Louis, who in the series played a character called “The Haitian”.
The Simmons sisters haven’t got such close bonds to Haiti, but the girls do care a lot and very aware of what’s going on. The awareness doesn’t only involve Vanessa and Angela Simmons, their cousin Jessica and friend, Shawna from their reality series, Daddy’s Girls, also showed concerns about the Haiti devastation.
Shawna tweeted earlier:

Talking to my dad about putting on something to help rasie money for Haiti @angelasimmons @v_simmons we should get on it.
Which Vanessa Simmons replied with:

WOW! UPS is shipping anything under 50 lbs to haiti FOR FREE! thats cool #noexcusenottohelp
Ok u have to donate to thru redcross first…but still worth it
And Jessica tweeted:
if each one of my followers donates $5 to help @wyclef & Haiti by textn YELE to 501501 we can raise $159,150..that would b a tremendous help
Meanwhile, although not saying anything much, Angela Simmons kept re-tweeting Jessica and Vanessa’s tweets about Haiti and showing her concerns by doing so. Looks like all the Daddy’s Girls gang, like us, are also saddened by the tragedy. Maybe some of you still have no idea on how bad things are in Haiti, right now? Well here are some pictures to give you an idea.
Really heartbreaking. Let’s all help the Haitians, Pastryheads. You can go to http://american.redcross.org to find out how you can help provide relief to the earthquake victims.
Let’s take the spotlight off sisters Vanessa and Angela Simmons for a while. We know this is a blog about their hot shoe and clothing line: Pastry, but this is too good to pass. Besides, if you love Vanessa and Angela, you usually love the whole family too, right?
Well this weekend, it’s our pleasure to give you a sneak peek of what went down in the 10th Annual Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation youth holiday party at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. Why? Because the Simmons men were all there, from Rev. Run, JoJo Simmons, Russy Simmons and the busy bee: Diggy Simmons. Diggy rapped in front of the audience and his performance was well-received. As you might already know, Diggy has recently released his mixtape: “The First Flight”. So enjoy the pictures, Pastryheads, and have a great weekend!
Ok, who’s crushing hard on Diggy right now? Spill!
As previously reported by PastryShoesCollection.com, the Simmons Sisters spent last weekend in Dallas at the Dallas Rocks Benefit Dinner, hosted by their uncle Russell Simmons Diamond Dinner benefiting Diamond Empowerment Fund (D.E.F.) honoring Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager. Vanessa and Angela looked fantastic. Today it’s all about the pictures!
Vanessa and Angela with Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush-Hager. Girls, you all look fabulous.
That is an interesting backside of Angela’s dress. And look at those Malachite bracelets! The girls clearly supports the Diamond Empowerment Fund set up by their uncle Russell. By the way, we’re starting to feel Vanessa’s bangs.
Angela and Vanessa weren’t the only ones there. In fact the whole Simmons clan were there. It was a family affair!
Of course they were all there, it was Rev. Run’s 41st birthday too. Loving the birthday cake!
And Rev wasn’t the only one getting love. Justine Simmons also got love from the girls and they looked soooo cute!
While Rev Run hung out with his boys. Don’t you just love to see the Simmons boys in a full-formation?
And last but not least… the man of the hour, Uncle Russell Simmons.
Loving this family more and more!
We all know the economy is not exactly at its best. But we all still have to buy stuff (read: Pastry Shoes). Russell Simmons, the philanthropist, entrepreneur and uncle to Vanessa and Angela Simmons created something different that can help us all in controlling our personal finances -especially avid shoppers like us!
Introducing: the RushCard.
RushCard comes in two versions, the RushCard you can see in the picture; the black and pink Baby Phat design. With options for a ‘pay as you go’ plan and a monthly plan, both cards offer:
There are additional features which will make you be able to…
What’s good about a pre-paid card like RushCard compared to a bank-issued card in a way is that there’s no more overdraft bills and you’ll be basically free from general spam mail from the bank. However there are transaction fees that come with these types of cards, so that’s something to watch out for. But hey, it’s all better, anyway.
Did you know that by now, there’s already over 2 million people helped out by RushCard?
In this economy downfall, RushCard seems like a good card to hold on to as they have an optional service that helps build a positive credit rating by reporting the regular bill payments you make with your card to participating credit reporting agencies.
RushCard is the only prepaid card that has this service for their customers.
So how do one get a RushCard? Well, all you need to get approved is your social security number and be over 18. What do you think, Pastryheads?
Go here to get approved instantly for the RushCard.
You all know that the Simmonses has two really successful young girls: Pastry owners, Vanessa and Angela Simmons. But don’t forget that the Simmons family also has such fine men. First it’s Rev. Joseph “Run” Simmons, the wise dad / hip-hop legend and then uncle Russell Simmons the entrepreneur, then it’s down to the kids: Jojo the rapper, Diggy the clothing designer AND rapper, and last but not least the cute -but often overlooked, Russy.
And to prove how he’s all grown up and getting cuter with a high fly factor, here are some Russy pics from the LIFE Project for Africa event a couple of days ago.
Add a few more years and he’ll be a superfly Batman in his own right. LOL. Anyway, Russy kicked it with the girls and he seemed to enjoy it.
But there’s only one girl he’s got his eyes on.
Aaawww… how cute is this. Russy and mom, Justine Simmons. They know how to take a good picture!
But what’s the event all about, you ask? Well, LIFE Project for Africa has a mission to save life and give hope to the poor in Africa, through services that promote HEALTH, provide EDUCATION, tackle POVERTY, provide HOMES (Shelter) to the homeless, and support ORPHANS and vulnerable children among the very poor communities. According to their website, currently LIFE Project is doing quite a lot of things to benefit the unfortunate people in Africa such as:
So Russy Simmons was there for a good cause. A very important cause, that is. Good to know that. If you want to help out, you can check about LIFE For Africa at their official website at www.lifeprojectafrica.org.

While Vanessa and Angela Simmons are busy with their Pastry Shoes line, Diggy Simmons have been working on a mixtape with DJ Spinking and he leaked a preview of his upcoming track for the First Flight (prequel) mixtape. Check it out.
Wow, boy sounds good! If you remember, Diggy Simmons once was caught rapping with mom, Justine Simmons on a Run’s House episode and just recently he did his own version of Keri Hilson and Asher Roth’s “She Don’t Want a Man”. Well, looks like one more Simmons is ready for the spotlight.
What do you think of Diggy’s track, Pastryheads?
