Janelle Monáe is beautifully bizarre. A tiny, Oreo-clad enigma in saddle shoes and tails. And then, of course, there’s the ever-present bouffant with a personality of its own. You may recognize the ArchAndroid by her uniform and chigon, but until you’ve witnessed her perfectly-poofed pompadour explode into an untamed corkscrew mane, you haven’t earned the right to call yourself a fan.

Vogue completely dispensed with teasers on its cover this month, simply printing an oddly blurry photograph of Campbell and the headline “Naomi Campbell: the editor.”well, almost all of them” — as well as was polite to everyone, even when she was in a bad mood. High praise indeed.
In her letter to readers, Naomi Campbell includes a handwritten message, “Love and light to Russia,” and says she chose to do the guest editorship because she lives in Russia and because the Russian edition of Vogue has a “special freedom.” She also drops a mention of the fact that one of the shoots is in front of the Moscow City skyscraper. “That was built by my boyfriend,” she says.
This is the second time Campbell has gone native and made a star appearance in media aimed only at Russians. On New Year’s Eve, she appeared on Channel One’s seasonal “Olivye Salad Show” with Doronin, giggling and speaking English.
Russian fashion designer Igor Chapurin asks her in an interview section: “Are you afraid of Russia?” Campbell says no, although she says she was initially shocked at the lack of black people. “I even go to the supermarket sometimes, even though my friends say I shouldn’t,” she reveals. “I’m just a person like anyone else.”
Campbell even writes an article about her regular meetings with former South African leader Nelson Mandela — “my grandfather, the sunniest person on earth” — although, this being Vogue, Mandela only gets one page.
It’s not clear whether Campbell herself wrote the articles that came out under her name. An article where she interviews New York gallerist Tony Shafrazi ends with the cringe-inducing line, “I blushed, but as usual no one noticed.”
*Supermodel Naomi Campbell, against her own expectations, is planning to celebrate her 40th birthday in grand style with a party on the French Riviera thrown by her billionaire Russian boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin.
“I thought I’d never actually make this birthday,” she said. “I’ve had times when it was hard for me to look at myself in the mirror, because I didn’t really like who I was. Anger wasn’t the only one of my issues — I have lots of them. I had to get clean and stay in the AA program. I understand what keeps me on the right path.”
Doronin is reportedly spending “millions” organizing “the party of the year” for the runway diva that will coincide with the Cannes Film Festival in May, reports the New York Post.
I have a Clarks weakness from long time. Growing up, my house was always filled with the sounds of Wu-Tang and to this day I’ve never seen anyone with hotter Clarks than GhostFace Killa aka The Wallabee Champ !!!! I remember when I finally got my first pair in 3rd or 4th form – the girl version to my brother’s black leather on black cheese Wally’s from the lil Clark’s shop that was by the bridge by Cassava Piece (they turned it into a cell phone shop later right?) Sadly, I also have the memory of polishing my brother’s tan on white’s so that he could be buried in them and step fresh during through that transition :(

The one shoulder dress made an appearance on the catwalks earlier this year as spring & summer dresses and it has now transformed into the Fall style of more structured and snug fitting dresses.
The idea is to play with the neckline from different angles. Here’s Alesha Renee @ the Hip Hop Honors last week in a Renee Miller dress and Louboutin heels.

This is more than just ‘blackface’ since Dutch model Laura Stone’s entire body is painted brown.
French Vogue has flipped the script again and while it is being argued over whether it is politically correct or not, many black girls grow up thinking the lighter their skin the better, so to see the opposite is a new phenomenon. Others are upset.
The pictures are very Grace Jones-esque, but you be the judge!!
See Stone on a non-black day, in whiteface, & raunchy…
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Baggy jeans and oversized T-shirts used to be everywhere from the city streets to the runways of designer labels, but these days sportswear and urban lines are looking to create new, niche looks.
Urban labels, traditionally inspired by city youth culture and underground music, say they want to reinvigorate a streetwear look that grew too mainstream, corporate and overcrowded with brands by music stars such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z.
