Check out these beautiful photos of Kelly Rowland from a recent Mark Squires photo shoot. I’m loving these shots!
Kelly recently spoke to Essence magazine about her child-hood struggle with her image:
Kelly Rowland once wanted to look white. “It’s said that brown-skinned girls don’t sell magazines and that’s so sad,” the sexy songbird tells next month’s Essence. “I remember wishing I was more fair-skinned, but Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mom, would say, ‘Don’t you know how beautiful you are?’ She made me come into my brown beauty. I didn’t get it, but now I do. I am chocolate and beautiful and loving it.” [SOURCE]
One more photo after the jump!
Kelley looks kind of like a classy drag queen, you people treat her like she is handicapped or something, what! just because she is dark skin I am suppose to think she is beautiful, uh no! I do not think Kelley Rolaid is beautiful, she looks nice yeah I will give her that.
I think mia cambell from the show “in the house” is a pretty dark sista, and gabriele union! If Kelley’s ass was broke she would look busted, what you guys are seeing is money making her look like she does.
The pics are fly BUT real talk- Most little black girls have this same story unfortunately.
Will she ever address her nose job?? She obviously never got over her issues since she underwent rhinoplasty to achieve a more European-looking nose.
yes she is a contradiction with her nose job and yak weave. silly promotion.
@173, Hatig on what???The bitch don’t even sell no records. Anyway, I think she is beautiful. O yeah #62 your comment is hilarious and true. All of a sudden she got confidence just cause tina said she was beautiful. Give me a fuckin break. Like I said. She getting checks 4 kissin they ass.
MAN kELLY KNOW SHE NEED TO STOP…. SHE IS GORGEOUS TO ME, SHE A BAD B**CH!!!
Kelly almost lost me with this bullshit. As the only darkskinned child of my mother’s 4 children, I was abused mentally and physically by a woman who hated her own race…yes im talking about my mother!!! She wouldn’t even allow me to call her mother in public, she would make me call her auntie, and when her new boyfriends would come over to meet the family she would stash me in a room by myself with magazines to read until they left because she didn’t want her boyfriends to see that she had a darkskinned child! I beautiful, and unfortunately so is she, but she called me ugly and BLACK all my life….it killed my self esteem when i was young, but when i grew up to discover that my mother had a HUGE problem with her own self esteem issues (She is brown as well, but used to use creams to lighten her skin) I realized that there was nothing wrong with me, and I love who i am! I never wanted to be lightskinned, SHE wanted me to be lightskinned and whats ironic about it is that i look more like her than any of her kids!!!! I wish i was DARKER than this, simply because i feel that i would be beautiful regardless of how dark i am!! The world is a cruel place….There are kids that suffer everyday for this type of foolishness we carry on within our own race….I was raised by my Grandparents because of it…….THIS SHIT NEEDS TO STOP! http://www.myspace.com/krsgainesville
