The top 30 entries chosen through user generated voting will be invited to compete in a runway show at a local mall in one of eight participating cities on October 12 and October 13. At each event, they will be judged on their personality, style, uniqueness and knowledge of the series. The winner of the runway show in each city will receive a $2500 gift card for a shopping spree, courtesy of TV One. Participating cities include: Atlanta, GA, Baltimore, MD; Washington D.C.; Dallas, TX; Detroit, MI; Houston, TX; Philadelphia, PA and Raleigh, NC.

Created by Bentley Kyle Evans ("Martin," "The Jamie Foxx Show"), Love That Girl follows the life and times of Imunique Jefferson (played by Bresha Webb), a dynamic and quintessential ghetto-fabulous chick who wreaks either havoc or harmony - depending on her mood. Along for the ride is an unusual cast of characters who equally withstand her whirlwind of antics but can't help but LOVE THAT GIRL. The cast includes Phil Morris, Bresha Webb, Alphonso McAuley, Peter Oldring, Mark Adair-Rios, and newcomers Reagan Gomez and Huggy Lowdown.
