COMING SOON : The MRS. CARTER Show World Tour


Hola peeps!  So who’s struggling today because they wanted to stay up late on Superbowl Sunday *slowly raises hand*?  Well I thought that it was great; the Ravens won and Beyonce shut it down during half-time!  Speaking of which she is in heavy promo mode and next up for the queen is The Mrs. Carter Show…yes a world tour is coming to a city near you.  I suppose I better try and get my tickets early because I definitely want to be at the Barclays Center on August 3rd!

Celeb Spotting—Kelis


Hola peeps!  Busy week and there is no stopping us now!  Browsing the web I came across these pics of Kelis with her fab curly fro and her cutie pie son Knight.  I’ve been a huge fan since her “Bossy” days and I must say she is running a close race with my girl Tracee Ellis Ross in the best curlz category.  However if you have been longing to hear more of her music don’t fret because she released single “Copy Cat” earlier this month and album #6 will drop in 2013.  So much to look forward to…yippy!

Monday’s Muse—Inna Modja


Hola!  Welcome to Monday!  Today’s muse is the gorgeous Malian-French singer/model- Inna Modja *Inna Bocoum her real name*.  Born in Bakamo, Mali of a Fulani family with seven children; she started singing at the young age of 6 in the choir.  Inna is so talented that she was easily able to adapt to singing in different music genres (heavy metal, swing, disco…) however she has since settled on pop soul.  Take a look at the pics…true beauty!

She is simply beautiful and the hair- LOVE!  Check out her video “I’m Am Smiling”…she makes us natural chicas proud.  Enjoy!

Solange is Back….singing again that is…


Hola peeps!  Well our fave cool sista Solo is back with her first love—music.  It has been four years since her last album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams dropped yet she kept busy during her hiatus.  She has DJ’ed across the globe, is currently Madewell’s fashion it girl and until recently was the spokeswoman of Carol’s Daughter Transitioning Movement *also a natural hair muse for many*.

I suppose that even with different projects going on she wanted to go back to her singing roots. Her new album in which she worked with Pharrell Williams on is set to debut in early 2013.  I can dig it…VA homie Pharrell + Solo…I can’t wait to see what they have come up with.  For now here is a snippet of her single “Losing You” which comes out on Oct 2nd.  Enjoy!

reCAP—Best in Show (BET Awards)


Hola!  So, did you guys watch the BET Awards last night?  I must admit normally I don’t watch the full show but this time it was a bit different.  Eager to see the Whitney Houston tribute (everyone had been waiting/talking about it) and a glimpse of Bey and Jay (love them!) I planted myself in front of the tube and tuned in!  Well, if you missed it I am going to touch on my version of a recap—Best in Show.  Overall I wasn’t wowed by the celebs’ choices of fashion for the night so I am focusing in on the best performances (IMO), a bit of hair and anything else that caught my eye.  I hope you enjoy :-)

Monica Brown - 2012 BET Awards - Show

Monica Brown—one of the best performances of the night.  She sang her heart out during the Whitney Houston tribute and looked gorgeous doing so in a dress from the 2010 collection of the late Alexander McQueen.

Chaka Khan Singer Chaka Khan performs onstage during the 2012 BET Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on July 1, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

Chaka Khan also sang a song for the tribute and she looked equally as fab!  Check the slim figure and that hair—beautiful!  She is giving the young and old a run for their money—we all should take note…being healthy does a body GOOD!

Jay-Z (L-R) Singer Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z attend the 2012 BET Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on July 1, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

Power couple—Jay and Bey!  All smiles…happiness is the key to a great relationship and you just can’t hate on that!

Awe look at the sistas—cute!  Love that bright fuschia on Solange, oh and the Poetic Justice braids (that you really can’t see in this pic)!

Elle Varner Singer Elle Varner poses in the press room at the 2012 BET Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on July 1, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

A shame—it’s a shame how beautiful Elle Varner is!  Peep the curlz–honey is fly!

D'Angelo - 2012 BET Awards - Show

VA homie D’Angelo made his first appearance in 12 years.  He sounded the same which was good, yet failed in the wardrobe department.  A slick suit and a little moisturizer on the natural fro would have stepped up his game.  Whateves…glad to hear his voice again!

Frankie Beverly - 2012 BET Awards - Show

Frankie Beverly and Maze brought the smooth grooves to the show.  They still got!  He won the Lifetime Achievement Award–congrats!

Tyrese Gibson - 2012 BET Awards - Show

Tyrese performed one of Frankie Beverly’s songs during the tribute to him.  He cleans up nice and sounded great!

There you have it!  This pretty much sums up my highlights of the night.  What about you…who was your fave?  Do tell…

Oh and don’t forget to check out her new single “New Day”.  Something tells me Mrs. Beatz is ready to bring the heat!  Do U Like?

Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix


Hola peeps!  I stumbled upon these pics of Andre 3000 in costume, as playing Jimi Hendrix in an upcoming movie about his life.  Well from what I see he has definitely nailed Hendrix’s eclectic style.  Oh and peep the fro…that is dead on Jimi.  This is a perfect match up for Andre 3000, I am sure that he will do well!

I can’t wait for more details of the movie to come out. What about you?

Monday’s Muse—Hollie Cook


Hola peeps!  You may or may not be familiar with today’s muse—Hollie Cook.  She is a singer that hails from across the pond and is the daughter of British drummer Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols.  Her music is an eclectic mixture of different genres—you will be turning it up!  I cannot forget to mention that gorgeous mane of hers…love it!

Beautiful! *note to self…revisit finger coils*

Her tresses are simply gorgeous!

Check out the video for her song Body Heat!  Nice reggae vibe and perfect for summer.  Enjoy!
