Ugh, what happened to Brandy? She looks like trash! Worse than Fantasia!
Mya looks decent. But her face is too cartoony. Big lips, big nose, big eyes.
I love Serena.
Vivica A. Fox is a mess. She looks like black Barbie.

Brandy needs to fire her stylist; that wig looks like it is running towards the back of her head. It is not lying flesh with her scalp; LOrd, she could have at least gotten a sew-in or glue for that matter.
Beyonce can sing but she damn sure can’t act know is her clothing line hot!!!!
Mya looks like a brown smurf; la la lalala la lala la!!!!!!!
Serena weave’s, well it always looks like weave!!

stunned by Brandy’s appearance. Something is going on with that girl.
Mya does look orange and so does Vivica for that matter. Too much fake bake. Vivica doesn’t look real but doesn’t look as pulled as usual.

Damn I can’t believe Brandy is looking that bad. I love her ever since “I wanna be down”, but God she should’ve stayed home. Blogs everywhere are gonna have a field day with this one. Everyone else looks cool but it does look like Mya’s hair is falling out in the front. And she’s always showing up at events. Why? She doesn’t do anything.

I know that Brands has a contract with a hair weave company…I was going into a beauty supply store and saw Brandy’s picture with some weave hair…and it said “It’s the hair that Brandy wears”….now ain’t that putting it on blast….how long is that contract….because the hair is wack….she is lookis kinda crackish in that picture…Fresh cheeto is the perfect word for Mya’s complexion…..when I saw that pic I just noticed a kinda orange hue about her….Serena looking alright….I just can’t co-sign on that look. Vivica…whatever. Beyonce is looking kind of sad or something…or maybe just hungry! B you not supposed to be a size 4 it’s alright! (sliding B some Popeye’s chicken)

Everyone else is looking quite good! Although Vivica is looking more and more fake.
And why, oh why do these RICH black celebs insist on having bad weaves!!!? I understand they’re human and can have there “jusbummy” days but with millions of dollars in their accounts, why don’t they do the Beyonce and get with the infusions already!! Cheap weave is an insult to a woman with money like that!

I wonder what happened to Brandy. She used to be so pretty. Her lips have that “i smoke fat blunts” look. I dunno.
Mya..perfect..what else is new? I just wish that she could finally come out with an album to take her to the next level.
Serena..should just leave that hair alone and get her some micro braids! Cause this weave looks atrocious! Cute outfit, though..
Vivica..should go sit her old ass down somewhere. She should slow down before she lands in fergie-ville!
Beyonce’….beeeyoootiful! I love her so much! However, she may be taking this “pink” thing too far.
I agree with the weave comments. I live in Arkansas, about as far away from the lime-light as you can get, and all my friends’ weaves look 100% better than most of these ladies’. Whats goin on?

Actually, pretty much all female celebs wear weaves these days. And, to be frank, the white girls’ weaves are often much worse than anything you see Serena with (and at least she has a little bit of an excuse cuz she’s an athlete and sweats). I think it’s difficult to spot white-girl weaves because as black women we look at the differences in texture to spot a weave. With white girls the texture is the same but the color is what tips you off that it’s a weave. You wanna see some bad white-girl weaves, look at Britney Spears or Jessica/Ashley Simpson. Oh, and Xtina Aguilera. Them hoes always have fucked up weaves!!
BTW, I, for one, can’t wait to see the Pink Panther. That shit looks like it’s gonna be really funny, plus I love Steve Martin and it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Yonce’s as well.

Why do SOOOOOO many black American women wear wigs and weaves AT ALL? It seems black women do so much now days to make themselves look like the mainstream, yet black men are STILL going to white and non-black women in droves. I mean hispanic women have now replaced light-skinned black women as the preference in the the black community. What is going on with us? And black celebs with their caucasian hair, fake noses, and fake lips are doing no good to change it.

DAYUM!!!!@brandy and that big ass head. WTF is wrong with these celebs. You know when shit don’t look right. Somebody needs to do an intervention cause this shit is getting out of hand. The way that wig is styled is just making her head look even bigger. There are some people who can’t afford to do the natural look and go with out any makeup and Brandy is one of those people. This is fuckin ridiculous! Can I sue for cruel and unusual punishment for having to look at these H.A.M.’s. Please go back to the braids! What else do you have to lose? So what if your edges broke off, the braids look a helluva lot better than that shit!

Brandy and her wig should just turn to dust, go away already.
Mya looks like Mickey Mouse.
Viveca and Serena look good for a change.
And I agree with the some of the previous posts, Beyonce has lost a lot of weight, bowing down to that Hollyweird standard. Don’t do it B!

the answer
Wednesday, February 8, 2006 /
I think many black women (not just Americans, I see black women in other countries doing the same thing) wear fake hair because they chemically relax it. Relaxing your hair IS damaging your hair and then they wonder why their hair “don’t grow”. Relaxers make the hair strands weak and cause them to fall off easily and faster. This makes hair seem not to be growing when it is, but relaxing it just makes it fall off so the hair length doesn’t change or becomes shorter. A lot of (but not all) black women w/ relaxers have this prob and resort to extensions. They really should be relaxing less often or not at all. Kinky hair is fragile not invincible.

Hell Brandy, hit me up and fly down to MD and I’ll toss u the digits of someone who can actually make a weave look like real hair.
lemme stop. Still got love for the lady. lol
YAY for Mya! She’s been looking more fabulous lately; no more hoish photos. She must have an album coming out.
Viv A. Fox looks nice. Still a little stiff, but I love her.

-Brandy & Mya have some similar facial features. IF Brandy was Mya’s skin tone we’d all think she looked a lot better than we do. Im guilty of it too, at first glance I recoiled….but honestly it’s her look. I think a bob cut would compliment her better tho.
This is the best Ive seen Viv look in a minute, Im guessing she learned not to go out too soon after Botox
Lastly, I REALLY wish Beyonce would give the long, FLOWING, fake hair a break. Just a rest, please. Everyone in Hollywood wears hair extensions, but it saddens me that Black women are CONSTANTLY with the long blonde weaves. I KNOW we have some natural beauty girls. Why cant we show it & not conform to westernized ideals that always pitted us at the bottom of the bag ANYWAY?

Wednesday, February 8, 2006 /
yo-that is CLEARLY not Venus, it’s serena. They’re siters, but they’re not twins.
“Baby”-Beyonce may very well have had “beautiful hair” as a child, but she’s been sporting more than “a few pieces”. There were pics floating around showing the netting from her wig at the hairline. She has been wearing JUST as much weave as all these women.
“the answer”, “anyonymous poster” & Ginger…ITA with you guys.
Also, it’s not so much that these women have ‘low rent weaves’, they spent hundres & thousands for most of this, it’s that too many of them are forcing hair colors & textures that dont blend with their natural looks. We’re all trying to be Black Barbies, and some of us are the opposite of that so it will look whack 70% of the time.

Brandy looks terrible and I am saddenned because this is just not a bad hair day. This is an ongoing problem. I dont think its about her skin tone either because Gabrielle and Naomi are attractive and many people agree with this. Yeah it is funny that we’re distracted by brandy’s hair that no one notices the lady next to her cheesin. Also just cause you have nice hair when ur little doesnt mean it will extend to your adult life. It only takes one bad hairstyle to make ur hair break off badly.

Beyonce has lost a lot of weight. i think she looks good. And her weave doesn’t look that bad. It’s alright.
Vivica look like the poster child for “Nip & Tuck.” She looks way too plastic-like.

i’m wit iesha on this one. what dfuck is wrong witchyall? i get so tired hearing this b.s. about what/who represents the standards of black beauty. the fact of the matter is that we’re an ethnicnally mixed/mingled group of people in this country! i bet less than 10% of all black ppl have pure lineage back to africa in their family trees. so get the fuck over this shit! yall as bad as the fuckin rednecks and that civil
war shit! our culture has come a long way in terms of social acceptance, and some sacrifices have been made on our behalf by our ancestors! if mya aint beautiful in your eyes, dont let it be because she got light skin and fine textured hair(although she do look like a mouse!) I dated a girl who could’ve been her twin once, same features, skin
tone like coffee and cream, short and phat as hell! all the sisters hated her and she had to tuff herself up just to get by. thing was, she was pure blood ethiopian, african thru and thru. Now, india arie look like a wildebeast to me, and jill scott look like somebody’s idea of a hippopotamus! I say that because facially that’s what i notice about some folks faces, but i notice how they shine when they perform; i see their beauty! I can get wit that about them, just as i can get wit mya or halle or any other so called europeaned featured black woman. Bottom line about this, we live in america, which is about selling product, whatever that product may be. If a black woman wears extensions, lightens her skin a bit, narrows her nose, whatever, if she’s trying to make herself more palatable to mainstream audiences, i aint mad at her. It’s called capitalism, baby. If doing some thing that would enable me to earn more money, get me more opportunities to live the type of life i want, reach more people and give them good memories, why wouldn’t i try to alter myself if i could? I’d still think of myself as black, and you’d best believe some hateful person would consider me black ina negative way! Point i’m tryin to make is in 2006, 2006! we’re still bitchin about what’s an authentic representation of a black person! It’s not 1965, people! Fuck the social politics about uplift, it’s about moving forward! Hatin someone over skin tone or hair texture is just ass backward!!! Applaud and support any of our celebrities
who try to gain fame and fortune without preachin violence or misogyny.

reply to stuk/in/70’s :
I think you are missing the point.. People are not saying that light skin and “nice” hair is wrong. What is wrong is that black ppl only see that has beauty.
everybody has a differerent opinion when it comes to beauty. hally berry is beautiful and mya is not.
lauryn hill is beautiful and whoopi is not. I am not looking at their shade their actual face and features is what makes facial beauty not skin tone. but black ppl are stuck in the “tragic mulatto” image of the past. we have not moved on and when are able to apprecialte those who do not fit the european standard of beauty.
black is beautiful because it comes in array of colors. But we only have one standard of beauty and we can not blame it on mainstream media (whites ppl) It is only us. Within africa there is so many beautiful people. but in black ppl only will admit to the beauty of the east africans (ethiopians) as opposed to saying that nigerians or ghanians are also beautiful. Ask your self why..

it’s interesting. i’ve dated women from nigeria, ghana, jamaica, west indies, ethiopia, eritrea, african american, india, and other countries. the countries i mentioned, all the women were dark, all were beautiful, if not physically, then definitely spiritually. i was making a point in response to some of the comments i read about mya. you’re right in that beauty is one’s personal preference. it just seemed to me that some comments were based on her looks versus someone darker, considered more authentically black, and i’ve seen that before. it’s ugly spiritually. i know some folks scarred pyschologically for years, even life, from some elementary, junior or high school bullshit. i think you missed one very important thing i said. isn’t ethiopia in africa? wouldn’t that make the woman i talked about less mingled with european blood than either you or me? or is it that ethiopian’s features are less like what’s considered authentic in our culture and that makes them undesirable to us? of all the nations in africa, ethiopia is the least invaded, occupied or conquered country on the continent. that means less intermingling among different people. it also means that we do come in all different shades and features, whether we’ve mingled or not with other cultures foreign to our ancestral home. what i meant to convey is that we hate on and ostracize people for the pettiest, ugliest reasons imaginable. it’s stupid and small/narrow-minded, ugly to the core. really, its a symptom of poor self-image and of a need for serious self examination. as for my other point, i used specific examples that you jumped on in your reply. let me put it another way; our ancestors did what they could to survive in this imperfect, harsh society. they did whatever they felt was necessary with an eye towards the future and a better day for people of our culture. things aren’t as good as we would like them to be today, but don’t doubt that we have better opportunities, more acceptance in this country because of our ancestors investment. we are american because of their sacrifice, and as such we have knowledge of how this country works. so if you or i work at a dream we have in order to live a desired life for ourselves, our children and family, we most likley will reach a point where our progress could collide with whatever we decide we won’t do to compromise our integrity/self-respect. the choice is becomes, do i hold on to my values and stagnate, or do i compromise, make peace with my decision, and move forward with my dream, which eventually enables me to live the life i want for me and mine? put it another way, i’m selling chicken to a small loyal group of people. those people are my people, like me and there are others, not like me but familiar with my food. i make a good living, but not so good that i’ll have some freedom to do other things cause i don’t have to work to earn more money. now those other people not like me have copied my chicken and are selling it to their people and are making a killing, even tho their chicken ain’t as good as mine. what’s more, my chicken is a little spicier and only the hardiest appetites can handle the flavor. if i modify the recipe a little, it’s still better than the other peoples chicken and i can get more business, more income, and so on…..now, my people, my customers from the jump, scream sellout!!!forgot where i came from, you know the routine. the fact is i’ll only earn so much from my people because they only have a limited amount of money to spend, and eventually they will tire of my food and move on to something else. me myself, even i have doubts inside if i am selling myself out and abandoning what i thought was part of what defined me as one of my people. i’m making this up to get my point across, but you see where i’m going, right? what i do for myself, and for the ones i love and care about(such as blood and the overall community and culture) to achieve the life and freedom i want to hopefully give something back, that’s what eventually defines the type of person i wish to be, and not some other person’s ideal of what or who is real or authentic. feelme?

I’m a fan of Brandy’s music, but I have to say that she looks VERY UNATTRACTIVE in this pic. I always ignored people when they talked about her looks, but now I see why. She’s a homely girl. But I still love her music!! That’s what matters.

Brandy looks a hot mess with that big hair, but she is still a beautiful person.
Mya looks like the dragon on “The never ending story”. Poor thing.
Vivica, Beyonce, and Serena looks cute.
