When in Manila  — Nicki Minaj arrived at the press conference in a pink glitter cap, soft blue clouds tights and her gorgeous back. I was mesmerized with her looks. She resembles a unique barbie doll. It was held at the Diamond Hotel, July 11, 2012. 

 

Getting up close and personal with Nicki Minaj is a wonderful experience. The security was tight. Since there are also international bodyguards ensuring her safety. Photo taking is not allowed and we were even told that those caught taking pics would be escorted out…. however our WIM team took the courage to grab some photos so we can share with you guys.

Nicki Minaj inspired us when she gave some advice to all the barbs out there. You need to dress up for yourself, not for some one else. You have to look good and feel good because you love yourself.
