Two of my fave supermodels in the making, Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn are gracing the cover of the November issue of Teen Vogue. They look amazing and I am loving the red lip they're serving (Seriously. I demand to know what it is...)! Check out some snippets of their interview:
"It's competition," Jourdan says. "There aren't a lot of us, but instead of sticking together, we're pitted against each other. People will say things in Chanel's ear like, 'Jourdan is taking your spot,' and then they'll say to me, 'Don't trust Chanel.'"
A large part of the problem stems from the ridiculous idea that there's only room for one. Chanel says, "You're being told, 'So and so is only booking one black girl. It's either you or Jourdan,' So we'll be sitting in the lobby looking at each other like, 'Okay, I want this job, and she wants it too. Which one of us is going to get it?'"
I just may have to pick this issue up! The photos alone are gorge, no? For more of the interview, go to TeenVogue.com.

Chris Rock, Oprah and Solange Talk "Good Hair"
In case you missed yesterday's Oprah (like me), here is some footage of Chris Rock, Solange and Oprah talking Black hair. Take a look!
And actress Nia Long hit up Chelsea Lately to talk "Good Hair" as well.
I can't WAIT till this film comes out! "Good Hair" hits theaters October 23rd.
Beauty Roundup: VH1 Hip Hop Honors
Sigh. I hesitated to even do a post on VH1 Hip Hop Honors. I mean, the male dominated foolery that is is show is hardly a hotbed for A-List beauty looks. Am I a bit biased? Yes. Do I care? Not really.
However, I was able to spot a few hip hop and R&B divas sporting some noteworthy looks, so here it is, the Beauty Roundup!
For me, Eve had the best beauty look of the night. Her smoky purple eye, super lush lashes and glossy pink lip proved to be both pretty and edgy. This look is definitely one we should all try this fall!
Chrisette Michelle stuck with her usual look, so she didn't wow me with her hair or makeup. But she did look cute as always.
Foxy, oh Foxy. I was diggin' her simple but pretty makeup until she threw those "lash feathers" into the mix. They don't even appear to be placed correctly! One false blink and one of those suckers could have ended up on the red carpet. Extra. Just extra...
Ashanti is still rocking her faux sidehawk (*side eye*), and her makeup was gorge. A colored smokey eye and light colored lip was clearly the look of the night, and Ashanti wore it well!So what do you think? Did the ladies represent and bring some glamour to the show, or did they fall subject to the foolery of the night?
Beauty Roundup: 2009 Emmy Awards
I didn't catch the Emmy's last night, but you know I had to scope out the red carpet beauty! Overall the beauty looks were a little underwhelming, but a few bombshells managed to stand out. Check 'em out!
Vanessa Williams gave up her usual glam last night. I'm loving her brown-based smokey eye and mauve lip. A great look for us brown girls!
Chandra Wilson looked lovely last night. It's always nice to see her out of her Grey's Anatomy scrubs! It looks like she's either growing her hair out or she added a few extensions for the evening. Either way, I'm feeling the extra body and curls!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes won my award for most glam look of the night. Her hair sported 40s style waves, and her golden eye makeup and bright red lip were total old Hollywood glamour! This is her best red carpet look yet!Who was the most fab of the night? Vote!
Beyoncè Set to Launch Her Own Fragrance
Well, we knew this was coming. Beyoncè, aka Sasha Fierce is set to release her own fragrance next year.
You may recall that B was the face of fragrances for Giorgio Armani and Tommy Hilfiger in the past, but this time Mrs. Carter will create this scent with the fragrance gurus at Coty, Inc. (the fragrance corporation known for creating pretty much every celebrity fragrance in the last several years including scents from J.Lo, Halle Berry and Sarah Jessica Parker).
Her statement:
“For me, fragrance reflects a woman’s attitude and unique sense of style,” said Beyonce. “While I love various perfumes, I haven’t found a scent that truly personifies me as a woman. Working with Coty, I was able to turn my ideal fragrance into a reality by creating an alluring and sophisticated fragrance; one that’s reflective of my inner power. It’s a true privilege to be working with Coty and I can’t wait to share this personal side of me with fans all across the world.”
I'll definitely be giving this a sniff! Will you be giving Beyoncè fragrance a try?

Fab or Drab: Cassie at "The September Issue" Premier
It's Friday, so I figured we'd end the week with a rousing game of Fab or Drab! If you haven't heard about the highly anticipated documentary "The September Issue", you must have been living under a fashion rock these last several months!
Fab or Drab?
Leave a comment and tell us what you think!
Also, check out the trailer for "The September Issue"
Solange Knowles Is Pretty In Pink
Solange and her big sis Beyoncè were in Japan over the weekend promoting a collection of handbags from Japanese designer Samantha Thavasa. I just had to post this pic of Solange because I think she looks absolutely stunning!
People have been giving her a hard time lately about going natural, but as someone who once cut her hair this short, I know the guts it takes to make such a drastic change.
If you're considering making the big chop, and are worried about looking like a boy, Solange is a great example of how gorge you can look with super-short hair!
Here's how to recreate her look:
HAIR: Hair is super easy to take care of at this length. Just apply a little bit of Kinky Curly Curling Custard, $17 to wet hair and you're good to go!
SKIN: Having flawless skin like Solo's goes a long way towards a fab look, but Cover FX Powder FX Mineral Powder Foundation, $32 covers any imperfection for a perfect, natural finish. Brush a little NARS Blush in Taos, $25 on cheeks for a pretty flush.
EYES: Try L'Oreal HIP Metallic Duo Eyeshadow in Gilded, $8 for a golden, smokey eye. Sweep the gold shade from lash line to brow bone. Using a eyeshadow crease brush (I swear by Sephora's), brush on a little the deeper shade in the crease of the eyelid. Top it all off with Ardell Strip Lashes in #116, $4.
LIPS: Finsh your look with a swipe of Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipstick in Ms. Understood, $9!
Try it out and email me a pic!

So, what did you think? Will you be checking out "Good Hair"?
Pick My New Hairstyle!
Ok, so my natural hair journey will be ending tomorrow and I'm in the market for a new 'do. I've got about 4 months of growth so I'm looking for a short and sexy style (my favorite!).
I decided to peruse the pics over at Essence.com and I found a few that I'm really feeling. Then I thought, "Why not have my readers help me decide?!"So, take a look at the pics below and let me know which hairstyle you like the best!
Halle Berry with softly-spiked, finger-styled hair.
Eva Marcille with short, tousled waves.Ciara's Short New 'Do: Fab or Drab?
What do we think? Is it Fab or Drab?Fab or Drab: Victoria Rowell and Keri Hilson
It's been a while since we've had a Fab or Drab face off, so take a look at the divas below and tell me who was Fab and who was Drab!
Actress Victoria Rowell at her wedding over the weekend. Gorge look for her! I know people say women over 40 should wear long hair, but I think she looks fab!
FAB or DRAB: CFDA Awards
Last night the Council of Fashion Designers of America held its annual award ceremony in NYC, and everyone who's hot in fashion turned out. A few brown beauties turned up as well to hobnob with fashion's elite. Let's take a look!
I think actress Zoe Saldana had the freshest, prettiest makeup of the night, no?
Former model and Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi looked glowey and gorgous. This is a great look for her!
Rachel Roy, designer and ex-wife of Damon Dash, looked glam with a slightly bronze eye and bold red lip. Y'all know how I love a red lip!
Drab...
This really pains me because these are two of my absolute favorite people. But...
Model and philanthropist Liya Kebede didn't look so great last night. She has gorge skin, but a little undereye concealer wouldn't have hurt, would it?
Sigh. I don't know what to make of my girl Kerry Washington. She usually looks super stunning, but last night I just wasn't blown away. Next time, Kerr?
Coming Soon...
