Things that make you go Mmmmm......

____________________________________________________________

As I was sitting enjoying my favorite guilty pleasure -eating Mexican food - and flipping through my December 2009 issue of InStyle Magazine, I wondered "Does Beyonce really wear her line, House of Dereon!?!?!" Then I began to think about other celebrities who have their own clothing line or perfumes - are they really wearing their own brand?Is Jennifer Lopez really wearing Sweetface and spraying GLOW on her body!?!?Is Kimora Lee Simmons really rocking bedazzled and gaudy gold-embroidered Baby Phat!?!?!How often is 50 Cent really sporting G-Unit!?!?!Besides the sweatsuits, have you seen PDiddy wearing Sean Jean!?!?

The only 2 celebrities, I HONESTLY think wear their brand is Jessica Simpson - her clothes and purses are HOTNESS and her perfume smells YUMMY- and Gwen Stefani of L.A.M.B. - her collection is FIRE.

What are your thoughts!?!?!

SINGER OLIVIA HAS A NEW LOOK....

It looks like G Unit's first lady Olivia is rocking a new look these days.. She's on the cover of City Scenes Magazine rocking a Funky new do'.. I was wondering where this chick's been... Can we get a single, a hook on somebody else's track?? lol...In the current issue, Olivia chats about what she's been up to & where she's headed.. Hopefully we'll see more of her in 2010...Anyway.....I love the look.. But how do you feel about it?

"Drama in the House of Dereon!!!"

by Anita F. Hill

These days, Matthew Knowles, daddy and manager of Beyonce and Solange, just can't catch a break!!!...These last few months have been packed with drama. Back in early October 2009, it was reported that Matthew Knowles allegedly had a baby on the way by no-name actress Alexsandra Wright.

(I couldn't even google her!) Then on November 11, 2009, it was reported that estranged wife and House of Dereon designer and owner, Tina Knowles, filed for divorce after almost 30 years of marriage.....Now here it is January 2010 and the last member of Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams has fired Matthew Knowles as her business manager. (Kelly Rowland fired Mr. Knowles in early 2009.)

Michelle stated:

"After much prayer and consideration I have decided to part ways from my management team, Mathew Knowles and Music World Entertainment. From my time in Destiny’s Child to my solo career, I am grateful for everything Mathew and his team has done for me. We’ve shared great success together. However, as I move in a new direction in my career, I felt it was time. I wish Matthew Knowles and the Music World Entertainment family all the best.”

This just proves the saying, "More Money, More Problems!" to be true. No matter how much money the Knowles family may have, these are some seriously difficult issues for ANYONE to have to endure, especially when you have to deal with them publicly. I personally pray for them during this difficult time and I hope that Mr. Knowles takes this time to take a self-inventory and makes some managerial changes in his own personal life.

Giving Back Through Fashion: "How You Can Help Haiti through Purchasing Timberland Products"

by Anita F. Hill

For those of you who may not know, but Wyclef Jean recently partnered with Timberland to support reforestation efforts in Haiti. In October 2009, Timberland launched the Timberland Earthkeepers Yele Haiti boots and most recently added Tshirts designed by Haitian children to the collection. Initially, for every purchase of of the Yele Haiti collection, Timberland was to make a donation to Haiti to help plant a tree in Haiti and promote environmental education. However, with the tragic earthquake on January 12, Timberland will now make the donations toward the country's earthquake relief. Timberland has also set up a link on it's website where you can make a donation to help Haiti's earthquake survivors, raising 1 million dollars within 24 hours.

Let Kim Kardashian "ShoeDazzle" You, boo!......

By Kesha Denise of Funky Flair Boutique

A lot of people think that Kim Kardashinan is nothing but a pretty face (which she is) whose claim to fame was being boo’d up with Ray J. NOT!

Kim Kardashian is one of the most fashionable celebrities in Hollywood. But before she became the “infamous” she was a fashion stylist and closet designer for years and has always felt that everyone could use a stylist to keep up with trends and fashion. She absolutely loves fashion and believes that wearing the perfect outfit makes every women feel special, so she opened DASH clothing boutique in Calabasas, California. And her newest baby is “ShoeDazzle” because she wants everyone to get red carpet treatment.

ShoeDazzle.com is the business, yall! You pay a monthly fee of $39.95 and you have choice of 5 shoes to select from and then WAALAH! you get a pair of “cutie-pa-tootie” type shoes. If you don’t see a pair of shoes you like for the month, you can select the “Skip This Month” button and you will be not charged. It’s just that easy. I just signed up and waiting on my box to arrive! Yeah baby!

So step up your shoe game collection and pound the pavement in your fly stilettos, boots, or sandals with ShoeDazzle.com

Who is the Baddest Chick!??!?.....

By Kesha Denise of Funky Flair Boutique

I think Beyonce, Rhianna, and Trina are definitely knocked off the roster when it comes to this chick and I’ve loved her, adored her, and been collecting her since the tender age of 3.

Her name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Confused!??! Ok, most of you know her as BARBIE! This diva has everything- looks amazing for 50 years old, tons of careers, cars, her beau Ken, a big sister to Skipper, tons of girlfriends, but what’s most important is that she is always a FASHIONISTA in everything she does.

Barbie is such a “Bad Chick” , that during New York Fashion Week back in February, Mattel staged a full-scale fashion show with designers creating life-size outfits inspired by the doll – such as Vera Wang, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Rachel Roy, Anna Sui, and Diane von Furstenberg.

But WAIT!?!? It gets better, this month, Barbie will also be wearing a pair of RED BOTTOMS! Yes, you read correctly. Barbie teamed up with Christian Louboutin and goes ultra glam with sleek makeup, a fiery red mane of luscious locks and of course, pairs of Christian Louboutin designed shoes (complete with miniature shoe boxes and cloth shoe bags). Turning up the va-va-voom factor, Barbie wears a sleek black catsuit perfect for strutting her stuff.

So if you are Barbie collector, like myself, get your coins saved up and be ready to drop $150 on this BAD CHICK!

XOXO,

Kesha Denise

"What's New for the New Year?"..........TURQUOISE!!!!!

By Anita Hill..

Well, THE WORD IS OUT!!!....and according to Pantone, the official color experts, the new "it" color is TURQUOISE! This year we will see turquoise everything, apparel, accessories, make-up, even home fashions and electronics. Hmmmm.......This is interesting, last Spring we saw a lot of blues, but mostly darker hues like navy. Many are saying its kind of symbolic, since last year many of us were suffering from depression because of the recession, and we definitely had the blues. But this year, things are expected to be a lot brighter....and we're starting with our wardrobes. A few celebrities have already been spotted in the latest trend, please view a few of my fav's.

FANTASIA.. This might be your year to Shine!!!

So I'm flipping through my television during the Christmas holiday & I notice yet another celebrity has their own reality tv show.. (Sidebar thought, this has been the ongoing trend for celebs these days. Is this what making a dollar boils down to?)..But anyway guess who??? As if you already didn't know.. Song bird, Fantasia.. Interesting, you say.. Well, I say the show may actually be good.. It looks like VH1 gave her a slot & the premise of show will chronicle her life as a singer and single mother. Interesting enough to see.. The show premieres on January 11th @10pm...

Also, I can't forget about Atlanta's very own THE GLAM BAR which was featured in this issue of UPSCALE MAGAZINE.. Kudos to this salon as well as THE GARNER CIRCLE as its becoming one of the HOT SPOTS in ATL to get those DO's done!! page 56 is where its at..
