It's White. It's Black. Essence Hires a White Fashion Editor




http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/28/new.york.essence.magazine/

I'm Kinda torn hearing about this because on one side I feel who ever is best for the job is best for the job. Should we even have a magazine dedicated to just one race anyway. Then I remember what the magazine racks look like and how almost every single cover is a not a non white person, how most beauty articles aren't meant for me, and how in the editorial of most I don't see anyone who looks like my family and I remember oh there is a reason there is a magazine dedicated to black women. A magazine that celebrates black women's beauty and accomplishments. And looking on the behind the scenes world of the magazine there are a lot,
a lot less black women holding positions of power. So is it bad that I feel sort of not so great about the fact that a black magazine hired a white fashion director. Hmm. I still don't know how I feel...because would people be up in arms if she was Latina? Still thinking out my thoughts just wanted to share with you what I thought so Far


I haven't even watched the video yet... So I'm sure I will have more to say. What Do You Think?

New Chris Brown....I dig!!!!!


Chris Brown Deuces
We all make mistakes, just make sure that you have gotten the help you need so it wont happen again. I always liked Chris Brown he is super talented....love the new joint!!!!

"She' Mine...So I Love Her!"

Working in retail I hear a lot of women complain. "Oh this is too big. I wish those were bigger, and this is too small" Not discussing the clothing but disappointment in their bodies. It doesn't stop there skin, hair and overall beauty included. I know sometimes we can be our own worst critic but constantly complaining is not the way to deal. Putting yourself down does not make you feel better and probably makes the people around you feel awkward too. Hey we are human we have flaws I get it. And it's not the easiest thing to change your way of thinking right away (I'm still working on it) but you have to start somewhere. My new motto is "She's mine so I love her" Flaws and all be happy, and love yourself. Life is way to short to be down about something. You don't want to look back years from now and remember how you didn't appreciate and love your self and body. If it is something you are truly unhappy with get off your hind parts and change it. No one can do it for you but you, and please don't do it for anyone else but you!

I love these Dove ads. I have to admit when I first saw them I was a little taken back. Only because my media eye had been train to only see certain things. Now I really appreciate the concept.

There are many body and variations. Find yours and look up tips to help you feel like your best self.
No matter your body type there are always ways to dress your self up fashionably and feel confident and sexy (does not mean skin tight and cleavage)
