The Difference Between Royalty and Celebrity
People with REAL money don’t respect entertainers. It’s the difference between royalty and celebrity. Being rich and be wealthy, living large or living in luxe.
The difference was squarely on the minds of all involved in the S-Class Affair hosted last Sunday evening by 19th Hole Magazine, Urban Hype Entertainment, Y! Events, Black Health Magazine, Word of Mouth Atlanta and many, many more. Luxury was the word and the mood du jour as Mercedes- Benz Buckhead served as a backdrop for an introduction to life’s little luxuries. A fashion show headlined by Ken Barber, designer of dare we say, affordable Menswear and located in emerging West Downtown. Barber presented his brand of straight forward Americana men’s wear to a very receptive audience.
Unfortunately, I missed the preceding portions of the fashion show featuring, as I was enjoying hand rolled cigars, South African wine tasting class by ISAW Founder Stephen Satterfield. A South African Pinotage from the M’hudi Vineyard was also paired with a tasting of Seven Sisters Bukketrabe a South African grape light in flavor and color with tasty honey and floral notes. Satterfield explained in a few easy steps how to taste wine, how to tell good wine from bad and how to snag a score a deal if you’re looking for a moderately priced bottle in your local store.
A beginner’s golf lesson was offered by Mr. William Lewis of John A White golf course in Atlanta, GA. Lewis is the first black to ever play on a golf team in the state of Alabama and one of a rare few Black PGA golfers in the US. He started out by teaching everyone the most basic of the basic, how to properly hold your club. He also tossed out a few other points of note including, collared shirts must always be worn on the links and always show up early for your tee time. Failure to do so leads to a penalty at the end of your golf game, meaning no matter how low of a score you shoot that day, points will be added to compensate for your tardiness. In golf the idea is to have the lowest score, not the highest.
Surrounding the event were multiple visual artists, my favorite by far of whom was Mr. Corey Whitehead. Not only did he display his stunning works, but painted live throughout the event.
Simply the best in German auto engineering, Mercedes Benz had on display two top of the line models from, their s-class line including the S550 in Borolo Red, which I was more than happy to pose for a picture with.
Also on the floor was the S63 AMG model featuring a special hand built 508 horsepower engine. The vehicle easily will top out at speeds of 175. The S550 featured 22 inch chrome wheels, a cashmere interior and comes standard with in seat massage navigation, Bluetooth capabilities and also a top of the line pre safe package where all windows and the sunroof will automatically close upon impact. For a mere $118k it can be yours-a deal when compared to the $142k price tag on the AMG.
Larger in size and with more base features than its sister, the E-Class, the S-Class is Mercedes Benz elite fleet of cars all standard with V-8 engines. Anyone ready to take one home should give Charles Wilson a call at the dealership (404) 846 3500.
