If not, you'd better hurry, the weather has taken a nasty turn for the worst. Safely tucked away until next season are my ballet flats and sandals. Out have come my uggs, sneakers and boots. I'd like to think that I'm ready for the worst of it but I do, however, need a leather, flat boot to wear with my sweater dresses and skinny jeans. I've opted for Steve Madden's slouch "Cybul" boot (pictured above). </div><div> </div><div>It's true. A girl can never have too many heels, but she must also keep a trusty pair of flats by her side.

Popular icons that have overcome serious challenges or given back to society are recognized by the fashion magazine. Among the winners are Maya Angelou, Rihanna, Serena Williams, Susan Rice and, of course, Michelle Obama.<br /><br />The First Lady is interviewed by guest writer Katie Couric, and she gives this great advice to women still looking for love...<br /><br /><em itxtvisited="1">"Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long. Then it's 'Who are you as a person?' Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul.

The eccentric songstress will be showing off George Esquivel's unique shoes. Here is the blurb from the article:<br /><br /><div><p><em>"It's hard not to get ideas when I'm meeting with Gwen [as in Stefani] and the Killers," says George Esquivel. "My work evolves by designing for people." Since 1994, the Southern Californian has been crafting custom shoes, and even with an ever-expanding client list, the majority of his footwear is made to order by hand in his Buena Park studio.<br /><br />Though they're fashioned out of the same Italian leather used by Louis Vuitton, his boots and oxfords are unique in their colors and burnishes, which Esquivel still does himself. "It's a punk attitude," says the designer, whose wares were first noticed by his fellow music scenesters in the nineties. "I'm not a guy who grew up on the East Coast wearing suits." So not proper, but for Esquivel wearers, just perfect.</em></p></div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-85863890866208036722009-10-24T12:13:00.013-04:002009-10-24T21:50:45.021-04:00Shine.

Since it's inception in 1998, the all girl group has been through three line-up changes. The most recent has left not one original band member in the group! That hasn't stopped their flow. The girls are in the midst of a relaunch that includes a whole new sound and provocative new image to boot. Pictured above is North African (Moroccan) member Amelle Berrabah. She joined the group in 2005 replacing Mutya Buena. She recently <a href="http://stealstyle.blogspot.com/2009/08/hair-stories-to-shave-or-not-to-shave.html#links">shaved the side of her head</a> to give herself an edgier look.

Mattel announced today an all new, permanent Black Barbie doll line. The new dolls have features that more closely resemble those of Black people. That means fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinct cheekbones and "curlier" hair. The <em>So In Style</em> line, or S.I.S, features Kara, Trichelle and Grace who are three best friends in tune with fashion, fun and music. You can click <a href="http://barbie.everythinggirl.com/activities/friends/soinstyle/">here</a> to learn more about each doll. Each doll features its own unique personality and style and reflects one of three various skin tones - dark chocolate, milk chocolate and caramel. The line also features a mentoring theme and each doll comes with her own little sister. The little dolls are called <a href="http://i34.tinypic.com/2z7j1pk.jpg">Kianna</a>, <a href="http://i33.tinypic.com/29wpslj.jpg">Courtney</a> and <a href="http://i37.tinypic.com/287iqyp.jpg">Janessa</a>. The big and little dolls hope to inspire mentoring in the black community (and all communities for that matter). Tell me if you like the dolls or not. My only gripe is the hair. I wish one of them could have had a more "natural" look but hey, this is progress! I wish these dolls were around when I was growing up. I LOVED to dress them up!<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt38HQn3oWoDCgmsC9jiM5mQ0Q0Cz2fSh0ElvXTvbwfZq-QsB98_AqG6LeMY5O2A7JqkXM5L0tWYPZmGEaqFBZuJ7UfxQpBGacUNrByaOqo8JTTMPh3L4xL_6Z9T0L-BbUvMJu/s1600-h/3.bmp"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 256px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387067438507830914" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt38HQn3oWoDCgmsC9jiM5mQ0Q0Cz2fSh0ElvXTvbwfZq-QsB98_AqG6LeMY5O2A7JqkXM5L0tWYPZmGEaqFBZuJ7UfxQpBGacUNrByaOqo8JTTMPh3L4xL_6Z9T0L-BbUvMJu/s400/3.bmp" border="0" /></a><em><strong> The dolls from left to right:</strong> Kara, Trichelle and Grace.</em></div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-9431457036531728172009-09-26T17:11:00.003-04:002011-04-16T16:47:43.784-04:00Goapele Covers Diablo Magazine...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLErhengyxxNoBVcOePPWOOui_5G3BD2VwEsYTbgdPJawGKAAlVkS4-8KL8Q9mgazUW6m24PGnjgpK9eqNGqU0M7aQWFACBf2emi_cP6R076IWq58Z9Uf4JOzPCsyCG3TGfwB_/s1600-h/Goapele.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 245px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385887317350785906" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLErhengyxxNoBVcOePPWOOui_5G3BD2VwEsYTbgdPJawGKAAlVkS4-8KL8Q9mgazUW6m24PGnjgpK9eqNGqU0M7aQWFACBf2emi_cP6R076IWq58Z9Uf4JOzPCsyCG3TGfwB_/s400/Goapele.jpg" border="0" /></a> Goapele is on the cover of the San Francsico East Bay magazine "Diablo." The songtress discusses her new album <em>Milk and Honey</em> and new business ventures including a nightclub and clothing boutique. Here's a snippet:<br /><br />Born in Oakland in 1977, Goapele (pronounced gwah-puh-LAY, which means “to go forward” in her grandmother’s Setswana dialect) is the daughter of an exiled South African political activist father and a New York–born Jewish mother. Her parents married in Kenya, then moved to the East Bay.<br /><br /><em>“Music and politics were integrated into my upbringing from a very young age. A lot of my family is from South Africa, and during my childhood, there was a rich South African community in the Bay Area,”</em> she says.<em> “There were lots of parties where people would break into singing a cappella or playing conga drums.”</em><br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.diablomag.com/Diablo-Magazine/October-2009/Old-Soul-New-Scene/index.php?cparticle=1&siarticle=0#artanc">here</a> to see more pics and read the full article.Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-6488112580933867282009-09-08T20:20:00.011-04:002009-09-08T21:24:33.149-04:00Rachel by Rachel Roy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx5DQ63lsG27grg-LJiN3ci3QzzRGISPycVi5hwtp_r_5NbwNdvGL-AfUTegIJERrTa_fhHnaO4ZBF3U9B-0vWvj3Y-UgDbD2mSq-imt33ZUehhq_-OO2zufFELlHeO4eqSXjt/s1600-h/rachel-rachel-roy-for-macys-lookbook-24-500x375ee.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 288px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379259402682244978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx5DQ63lsG27grg-LJiN3ci3QzzRGISPycVi5hwtp_r_5NbwNdvGL-AfUTegIJERrTa_fhHnaO4ZBF3U9B-0vWvj3Y-UgDbD2mSq-imt33ZUehhq_-OO2zufFELlHeO4eqSXjt/s320/rachel-rachel-roy-for-macys-lookbook-24-500x375ee.jpg" /></a>You may of first been "introduced" to Rachel Roy through her husband, Roc-a-Fella co-founder Damon Dash, but these days her name has become synonymous with emerging fashion. The young, high profile New York designer has come a long way. Over the last couple of years her label has expanded and now offers a more affordable line appropriately titled, "Rachel, Rachel Roy." The likes of <a href="http://i31.tinypic.com/30adv9h.jpg">Joy Bryant, Padmi Lakshmi </a>and even <a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/293u5vl.jpg">Michelle Obama</a> wear her designs (probably from her original line Rachel Roy New York). But despite her star being on the rise, she's still a dedicated mother of two who hasn't lost sight of what's important. Posted below is "Behind the Lens" - the three part video series filmed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Douglas Keeve. In it Rachel Roy reflects on her past, present and future and there are plenty of cute scenes with her adorable daughters, Ava (9) and Tallulah Ruth (1).

In fact, let's give them their credit, they are no longer "up-and-coming." These ladies have ARRIVED! Chanel <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Iman</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sesilee</span> Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Arlenis</span> Sosa look nothing short of fabulous in this photo shoot. And if you don't believe me, take a sneak peak at the video below which features behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot. Naomi Campbell may still be forging ahead but these girls are bringing in the rear. On my cue everybody sing... <em>"I want to love you, P.Y.T. Pretty Young Thing. You need some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">lovin</span>'. T.L.C...."</em><br /><br />P.S. Jourdan is supposedly pregnant, hence the strategic placement of Seslie's arm. Also peep the 1:03 minute mark in the video. Congrats Jourdan. You're repping for the U.K.!<br /><embed height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OsS0mUillR8&color1=" color2="0xcfcfcf&feature=" fs="1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-27384371880425975892009-09-01T21:43:00.002-04:002009-09-01T21:49:21.851-04:00Alexandra Burke<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87EANYdUm51npF2mukfPWN0c1frm3Ay8iMzo_gs6Np1EyiGiXp-UrLF5n3mlKN6rWNzXsPndDgoJm59Xg5gmDbbvgMyOX9RzLzzMsq5w1fAnXpBLXE4EVESHrzgDEpk_azuEz/s1600-h/Alexandra+Burke+out+and+about+last+week+for+her+birthday,+August+2009..jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376680014299359650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87EANYdUm51npF2mukfPWN0c1frm3Ay8iMzo_gs6Np1EyiGiXp-UrLF5n3mlKN6rWNzXsPndDgoJm59Xg5gmDbbvgMyOX9RzLzzMsq5w1fAnXpBLXE4EVESHrzgDEpk_azuEz/s400/Alexandra+Burke+out+and+about+last+week+for+her+birthday,+August+2009..jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>Alexandra Burke out and about last week for her birthday, August 2009.</em></span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6tap-bwwYByZu0OcCas2__yxDACmXl7-JMAgUi2qIWp5Zgzh-d_DdUQMtJ8DJMonM3xHTmP3GD41vUPY6b8-iHISDQkNXK-VG57Ru_KQeIFcHm0iptjqwm3jbw6_edRF2WSl/s1600-h/Alexandra+Burke+out+and+about+last+week+for+her+birthday,+August+2009.+-+Copy.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 227px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376679945255044418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6tap-bwwYByZu0OcCas2__yxDACmXl7-JMAgUi2qIWp5Zgzh-d_DdUQMtJ8DJMonM3xHTmP3GD41vUPY6b8-iHISDQkNXK-VG57Ru_KQeIFcHm0iptjqwm3jbw6_edRF2WSl/s400/Alexandra+Burke+out+and+about+last+week+for+her+birthday,+August+2009.+-+Copy.jpg" /></a> British X-Factor winner (the equivalent of American Idol,) stepped out last week in a gorgeous floral print dress that only cost $50.

There really is no excuse to let this dress go.</div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-8785622728367749192009-08-17T06:45:00.002-04:002009-09-07T17:55:26.221-04:00Hair Stories: To Shave Or Not To Shave<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFH65dhShQTBgBV61ZF5Rc7lML0NoTvxUC5AvwpUQGMlPtD9Syb9HiQV19jgiYUAqH7UER1avcXpugVHK3cNEkVtMGAkNVDdtT4jMwXg54PI5Xbm_POh8sX50MeRRkBd_P_8u/s1600-h/shave2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370325885630341122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFH65dhShQTBgBV61ZF5Rc7lML0NoTvxUC5AvwpUQGMlPtD9Syb9HiQV19jgiYUAqH7UER1avcXpugVHK3cNEkVtMGAkNVDdtT4jMwXg54PI5Xbm_POh8sX50MeRRkBd_P_8u/s400/shave2.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Cassie Ventura, Lala Vasquez and Keyshia Cole all took the plunge and shaved one side of their head!</span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8rRF2wAjcoc3XFnKsvwrGjmfpfHYz55chQmlSWwvtEEsNe3vDLBMBxg_9oyYYJZ-1pB9AdPYxoH6U6x4we4wfnGYU7FRsEnDxxquI1gdZ4uGM28tIMO9juAo7AP1GP2WHWrBa/s1600-h/z3n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 264px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370325688083033986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8rRF2wAjcoc3XFnKsvwrGjmfpfHYz55chQmlSWwvtEEsNe3vDLBMBxg_9oyYYJZ-1pB9AdPYxoH6U6x4we4wfnGYU7FRsEnDxxquI1gdZ4uGM28tIMO9juAo7AP1GP2WHWrBa/s400/z3n.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 1.</strong> ConAirPro Moda Groom Single Speed Clippers, $79.99, </span><a href="http://www.groomers.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.groomers.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> <strong>2. </strong>Creme Of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo, Kiwi & Citrus, $3.99, </span><a href="http://www.walgreens.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.walgreens.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> <strong>3.</strong> Kidada For Disney Couture Pocahontas Gold, $78.16, </span><a href="http://www.asos.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.asos.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 4. </strong>John Hardy Baby Monkey Silver & Black Palm Wood Hair Brush, $52.50, </span><a href="http://www.jewelrygalboutique.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.jewelrygalboutique.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 5.</strong> Aveda Brilliant Humectant Pomade, $22.59, </span><a href="http://www.target.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.target.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 6. </strong>Orangewood Large Porcupine Boar Brush, $6.99, </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.sallybeauty.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 7.</strong> scunci Classic Pins. $1.29, </span><a href="http://www.walgreens.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.walgreens.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong> 8.</strong> Tui Leave in Conditioner, </span><a href="http://www.carolsdaughter.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">www.carolsdaughter.com</span></a><br /><br /><div>It used to be that the ultimate hairstyle statement for a woman was to shave your head bald (or close), but these days celebs have put their own twist on the avant-garde style. If your not sure that you, or your head shape, can pull off a completely shaved look, ease yourself into the style by going partially bald first. Cue Cassie Ventura, Lala Vasquez, Keyshia Cole, Raven Symone and the pioneer Kelis. They've all put their unique interpretation of the style by adding hair dye, patterns, track lines and even ultra girly curls on the side of the head still with hair.<br /><br />If you're going to try this style be prepared. Stock up on bobby pins to stop your long sided hair from falling across the border. Also, invest in a good pomade to keep your shaved side neat and frizz free. As always, keep your hair healthy with a good conditioner like Carol's Daughter's Tui Leave-in and Creme of Nature's moisturizing shampoo. So come on ladies, do Grace Jones proud and get the clippers out!</div></div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-69500410124521582192009-08-14T07:48:00.002-04:002009-08-14T07:48:00.240-04:00Take a Leaf Out of Her Style Book: Zoe Saldana<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFI4YL985_GTW38FC7oqAexXRR6EZ7zWMrbXcRVVJ9_oTMn3S58Wot2LQWHMiYhuvYO1iRMFpyaDtn9CMRmV5b11SREGTOaW78uaZacuYlyW2GCyYQgkPDvLmmmPqZISPloPgm/s1600-h/Zoe+Saldana+attends+the+%27Star+Trek%27+Germany+premiere+on+April+16,+2009+in+Berlin,+Germany..jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369276845641807938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFI4YL985_GTW38FC7oqAexXRR6EZ7zWMrbXcRVVJ9_oTMn3S58Wot2LQWHMiYhuvYO1iRMFpyaDtn9CMRmV5b11SREGTOaW78uaZacuYlyW2GCyYQgkPDvLmmmPqZISPloPgm/s400/Zoe+Saldana+attends+the+%27Star+Trek%27+Germany+premiere+on+April+16,+2009+in+Berlin,+Germany..jpg" /></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Zoe Saldana attends the 'Star Trek' Germany premiere on April 16, 2009 in Berlin, Germany.</span></em><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRN9pJN5PnyoNuWMrYaXqy49pRU08rCGJAXzlcV5DAiOdM7vR7TwTGpFidk4mjiCW7NceCf_8UcoD4PfDrqwUFBmbDyuxcvsZzha_1OMDNmX8xRwejvSUEUY4oSsAye51WRQHJ/s1600-h/StarTrekLosAngelesPremiereArrivalsGraumansChineseTheaterHollywoodCA4302009..jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 289px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369276667311661586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRN9pJN5PnyoNuWMrYaXqy49pRU08rCGJAXzlcV5DAiOdM7vR7TwTGpFidk4mjiCW7NceCf_8UcoD4PfDrqwUFBmbDyuxcvsZzha_1OMDNmX8xRwejvSUEUY4oSsAye51WRQHJ/s400/StarTrekLosAngelesPremiereArrivalsGraumansChineseTheaterHollywoodCA4302009..jpg" /></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Zoe Saldana arrives at Star Trek Los Angeles Premiere at the Graumans Chinese Theater in Hollywood CA on 4/30/2009.</span></em><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSP3yBqMSfCre4En1fpKxU1Jh2P3_QKbrVWXCL__FN2jdBmGrVunNi7pMVX1eJEslBgKLysElsVBU1xmlkM8rIbh3Agtn2sW3UOLh_ZjGyF16mhM1DQNfSS8L8dNjQaMa_Lh_X/s1600-h/Lela+Rose+Front+Row+Spring+09+MBFW+WwU2dowWWuol.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369276561633601506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSP3yBqMSfCre4En1fpKxU1Jh2P3_QKbrVWXCL__FN2jdBmGrVunNi7pMVX1eJEslBgKLysElsVBU1xmlkM8rIbh3Agtn2sW3UOLh_ZjGyF16mhM1DQNfSS8L8dNjQaMa_Lh_X/s400/Lela+Rose+Front+Row+Spring+09+MBFW+WwU2dowWWuol.jpg" /></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Zoe Saldana sits front row at the Lela Rose Spring 09 Fashion Show</span></em><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1e81XeOb7N8kDxee4IvN9uTzf_1QQJpYDx_HYUacvnMF8WIF4xCBInYdiY53sgDzuUYRxubqlyNwpN0fRDNB5UQeqlKhZRz3D37SSyoyejMGZmyPus0cGjI9kOz_h8Qbzf44n/s1600-h/Zoe+Saldana+arrives+for+the+UK+Film+Premiere+of+Star+Trek+at+the+Empire+Leicester+Square+on+April+20+2009+in+London+England.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 248px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369276456095846770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1e81XeOb7N8kDxee4IvN9uTzf_1QQJpYDx_HYUacvnMF8WIF4xCBInYdiY53sgDzuUYRxubqlyNwpN0fRDNB5UQeqlKhZRz3D37SSyoyejMGZmyPus0cGjI9kOz_h8Qbzf44n/s400/Zoe+Saldana+arrives+for+the+UK+Film+Premiere+of+Star+Trek+at+the+Empire+Leicester+Square+on+April+20+2009+in+London+England.jpg" /></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Zoe Saldana arrives for the UK Film Premiere of Star Trek at the Empire Leicester Square on April 20 2009 in London, England.</span></em><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOwBCeFZryKgzkTFUkZehj16nxWIYMxOHdYplzhyphenhyphenBVeM2NfGMz9zK4LuhaWS9w3fs7ayvSCtySYUU2JWVyPsXMoxjfMF-0-5N6S3tMwnw27lP5uMidV5kSKtFokx1udc0zV3Sh/s1600-h/normal_0009.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 273px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 337px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369276288818302946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOwBCeFZryKgzkTFUkZehj16nxWIYMxOHdYplzhyphenhyphenBVeM2NfGMz9zK4LuhaWS9w3fs7ayvSCtySYUU2JWVyPsXMoxjfMF-0-5N6S3tMwnw27lP5uMidV5kSKtFokx1udc0zV3Sh/s400/normal_0009.jpg" /></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Zoe Saldana appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 6, 2009.</span></em></div><div></div><div><br />Zoe Saldana and her stylist have had a busy summer. With the release of her summer smash "Star Trek" the Dominican diva had to come hard (and correct) on the red carpet. Naturally, Zoe delivered. Her style is simple. Pick a dress that will shine in its own right. Whether its large bows or bouncy frills, Zoe's dresses have people running to the internet to find out what she wore. To wear a dress with this much punch, you need confidence.

This is long overdue... like 200 years! When I first saw the trailer I was unsure about how this was going to pan out. Will the movie really explore the hair issues in our community or will it be nothing more than a superficial mockery that just scratches the surface? I watched the trailer several times and concluded that Chris Rock is just trying to add some humor to a somewhat sensitive subject. I am confident the movie will be equally entertaining and informative. </p><p>That said, are we as black women ready to face the questions that will undoubtedly come from those outside our race. Movie critics at the Sundance Film Festival, where the movie won an award, lamented on how they had "no idea" that black women went through so much to "look good." I personally do not want nosy commuters asking me if my hair is a weave on the rush hour train to work! Either way, this will undoubtedly be a milestone in our history. The movie has a lot of money behind it and will me watched by millions. I just hope it lives up to the hype. I equally hope Chris Rock interviews some natural sistas in an effort to dispel the myth that natural hair is hard to maintain.

And so I think this enthusiasm is really healthy because it’s going to allow us to all be a part of the solution — which has always been a part of his vision. I think he is an incredible leader. I think what he’s done just in the short time that he has been in office has been so inspiring. It’s pretty incredible. It makes me proud to be an American again.”</em>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06082597406670257501noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299982.post-6147965626420212592009-08-11T07:10:00.001-04:002009-08-11T20:03:35.132-04:00What Say We...

Twenty year old Rachel Christie took the crown at London’s Metropole Hilton Hotel beating out 14 other finalists. During the pageant Christie won the Helen E Cosmetic Award which guaranteed her a spot in the top 15.<br /><br />Her crowning does not come without controversy however. Viewers were given a chance to call in their votes for the winner. One of the finalists, Zoey Samale received 2,013 votes. Rachel Christie only received 9. The viewer vote was not the deciding factor however and the judges ultimately picked her as the winner leaving some voters outraged.<br /><br />The new Miss England is an athlete that competes in heptatathlons and specializes in the 400 meters. She is also the niece of the “most decorated” Olympic British athlete, Linford Christie and models in her part-time. Christie will compete in the Miss World Competition in South Africa later this year.<br /><br />It’s nice to see that the Black beauty is being recognized worldwide.
