First Look: Solange Knowles for InStyle Magazine June 2013

After Solange's fabulous entrance at The 66th Festival de Cannes, what better way to celebrate the last few weeks of May than seeing her posing in another gorgeous editorial and this time it's for the June issue of Instyle magazine. I know Solange isn't the only black female celebrity on the planet, but she's hot right now and she's everywhere and folks are going to celebrate her beauty.






This took a while, but I got them, plus I'm still relatively new to this Windows 8 and this cost me a few bucks, so please credit the source when you 'take' the photos.

Actress Danai Gurira Name One Of Peoples Magazine's Most Beautiful

When People Magazine released the details of its annual “Most Beautiful” issue I didn't care to search for the entire list because I was elated that Danai Gurira was selected among those chosen as most beautiful. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is on the cover this years issue and it seems that several bloggers failed to mention that actress/playwright Danai Gurira of the hit series 'The Walking Dead' was also among those chosen to appear in the issue.

It seems like folks only concentrated on the popular celebrities: Kerry Washington, Kelly Rowland, Halle Berry and Gabrielle Union and overlooked Danai's stunning photo. I've been a fan of this beautiful woman ever since I saw her in the movie, "The Visitor" and she's just as beautiful and talented as the rest of them.

"I feel most beautiful when I'm totally in my own skin."
— The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira


She's one of our Tumblr favorites and I've noticed that on Tumblr we seem to celebrate many of the overlooked and obscured beauties/celebrities that others don't talk about unless they're embroiled in some kind of turmoil.


I don't know what happened why certain individuals in the media stopped promoting and celebrating all women and now only choose to concentrate on those they deem as more popular. This crap irks the hell out of me and I don't support brands or people that practice this nonsense.  We've got some talented men and women out there who are super talented, but are getting overlooked because those who think they are influential don't promote them and they follow suit by doing the same exact things. That popularity crap is so high school and not progressive at all. Congratulations to all of you who made the list.

Le Look Du Jour: Ajak Deng and Nykhor Paul for Louis Vuitton Spring 2013

The Campaign Featuring Ajak and Nykhor: I edited the original photo to highlight these two beautiful women as captured by Steven Meisel.



Were these designs from the 1960's inspiration for Marc Jacobs 60's inspired collection for Louis Vuitton and his own namesake collection??

I've seen a lot of collections that are eerily similar to several previous collections that I've seen in the VOGUE and L'Officiel archives and I've been dying to do a blog post about them because there seems to be a lot of copying going on. On a better note: The designers who presented 60's inspired silhouettes had better collections out all of those who didn't anyway.
