The Simmons boyz are sooo cute,as are kimora’s younguns’.Nia long is a natural beauty,but there is definitely something about that one Simmons girl that screams,if my uncle wasn’t rollin’ in dough,”I would look MUCH more greasy and MACK THE KNIFE than this!!” I’m not going to point out which one,solely because I have no idea whose name is what,or whatever.Y’all know who I’m talking about.You have eyes.

RUSY GON HAVE TO GET BUFF TO BEAT THE LIL MEN THEM DOWN CAUSE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS THEY GON COME KNOCKING. HMMM…WHEN I LOOK AT MING LEE I GET THE FEEL SHE IS A SPOILED BRAT. AND AKOI JUST SEEMS SO SWEET AND WELL BEHAVED.

If they date that would be incest so…
You people are so wrong I actually like Angela better, her sister seems fake and ditzy to me. The mom seems like she is always drugged…whatever.

everyone looks great. tianna should do a “who rocked it better” for Angela, and Justine’s shoes.

I looked at Deorah Cox and was like who the ef is that? till I read the caption. What is she doing now? Is she on Broadway?

Simmons- they all look great in their different shades of yellow… and it’s nice that the kids look like they genuinely get along.

Everyone else- Nia Long looks the crispest…white dress, flowly hair, natural makeup–like a goddess.

@15- All the kids in the pics are 1st cousins. Their fathers are full blood brothers.

The Simmon’s family is Beautiful, I wish we had more black families out there doing da damn thing… I love that whole Yellow theme.
Nia Long looks georgous as always.

*Am I the only one tired of Melyssa Ford ?

I maybe the only one that thinks this but.. NOTHING about Vanessa says model!!

I hope Justine stops the whining she does and STOPS answering her phone with “Praise the Lord”.. and whips Russy’s stealing ass

They are a “different” looking family..

#11.. WHEN I LOOK AT MING LEE I GET THE FEEL SHE IS A SPOILED BRAT. AND AKOI JUST SEEMS SO SWEET AND WELL BEHAVED.

I definitely agree with this. I see Kimora in Ming every time she poses and Aoki seems much quieter..

32.

Nice families.

Kevin Liles could be Russell’s brother, there is a great deal of resemblance between the two.

Deborah Cox looks good. She has a jazz album out, it’s awesome.

34.

Frank Jumbo

Tuesday, July 31, 2007 /

#30 you’re right…nothing about Vanessa says model and that’s why she’s the shit. Even though she’s spoiled to death she’s ABSOLUTELY BLAZIN!

#29 sorry you’re tired of Ms. Ford but I’m not…she’s fire too.

Thanx for these photos! The Simmons family has done well.

Interesting photos. . .LA Reid was there??? I thought he was suppose to host the Usher/Tameka wedding on that day. Unless he has a twin, I am confused as to how he was going to be in two places at one time.

Tuesday, July 31, 2007 /

why are the comments so huge now? a couple of minutes ago they were normal size. Anyway, this is the family black america needs to emulate. They are doin the damn thing! Supporting one another and rollin in the dough. I guess i am the only one who thinks Angela looks better than Vanessa. Angela is gorgeous, leave her alone!!!!

MODERN GODDESS

BEAUTIFUL BLACK FAMILY THEY ALL LOOK NICE IS THAT YELLOW.

NIA LOOKS CUTE

I DON’T KNOW WHY PPL ARE COMING DOWN ON MELYSSA FORD. WHAT DID SHE DO THAT WAS WRONG? BEING A VIDEO GIRL? OH PLEASE!

YOU KNOW THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WOMEN WHO APPEARED IN MUSIC VIDEOS WRE NOT REFERRED TO AS BITCHES AND HOES. BUT AGAIN AS THUG CULTURE TOOK OVER RAP, THE WAY WOMEN WERE TREATED AND TALKED ABOUT DEGRADED AND THAT INCLUDES THE WOMEN WHOM THESE MEN EMPLOYED TO BE IN THERE VIDEOS.

RAPPERS WOULD TALK ABOUT WOMEN WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN FULL-CLOTHING OR WOMEN THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RAP GAME. OPRAH MIGHT I ADD. THEREFORE RAPPERS USE TO TALK ABOUT WOMEN IN GENERAL.

MEYLSSA FORD IS JUST SOME POOL GIRL FROM THE HOOD WHO NEEDED TO SLLEP WITH SOMEONE TO PAY HER BILLS. SHE HAS ENDORSEMENTS AND DOES QUITE A FEW THINGS PPL DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. MIGHT I ADD SHE’LL BE IN A MOVIE TOO.

HOWEVER JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A VIDEO VIXEN PPL LIKE TO TAKE SHOTS AT HER LIKE THEY DO ALL WOMEN. ALL I EVER SEEN MELYSSA DO IS SHOW HER FACE IN VIDEOS NOT ONCE DID I SEE HER BE A “TIP DRILL” OR TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD THAT SHE FUCKED 1OOO MEN. NOT ALL VIDEO GIRLS ARE LIKE SUPERHEAD.

This is the cutest family…I love em!

Russell lil girls are so beautiful…but my favorite for some reason is the youngest daughter, I think Aoki…she just seems a lil less girly than her older sister, lol…Ming be over there like, “Ooh camera, I gotta look cute” while Aoki be like, ‘Sup? What it do? If I’m posed I’m posed, if I’m not, whateva’…but they’re both cute, I’m just feeling Aoki’s cute, tom-boyish style…not too cutesy lol

They do look wonderful all together with all that pretty yellow on ! Runs daughters look nice as they do most of the time.They are very stylish and pretty young ladies. The oldest could be a model and the next to oldest has strong resemblance to her dad! Is the ldest son Runs (are all of his chiuldren by Justine, does anyone know.I heard the daughters werent)That oldest boy looks like him also!The young boys are cute,but they look mor elike their mama to me. Ming & Aoki are cute as always! Runs wife looks very nice and conservative .
