And the winners are:

Vida Vazquez with her lyrical lines paying notice to Philly’s “trend setting” hair-styles:

I never seen so many neon colored weaves,
Philly’s under-rated you best believe

And Kim C. with her oh-so smarty pants “imma-answer-the-trivia-questions-and-take-out-the-bonus -challenge-all-in-one”:

Feel like i’m running towards the sky as if i was rocky, Amanda Blanks nails claw ya out if anyones try’s to stop me
Mannequins around me because no one does anything but Philly’s hood won’t get better unless we do something

These lucky ladies will each win a price pack of godoies from  Philly’s finest: Magick Outlaw, R.E.Load Bag Co., Fabric Horse and Fleathers By Linda Smyth. Congrats Ladies!!!
