FASHION: VIVICA LOOKS FOR STYLIST / BEYONCE & SOLANGE IN TOKYO / JILL SCOTT + ASHELY STEWART
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Vivica at Fall 2008 Paris Fashion Week (Splash)Vivica A. Fox is set to host a new VH1 reality series titled GLAM GOD with VIVICA A. FOX, which searches for the next celebrity stylist:
With Vivica A. Fox as host, she will be looking for the stylist who has the vision to pull together a complete look – whether it be for the carpet or an everyday event.
GLAM GOD with VIVICA A. FOX, will showcase 20 stylists as they compete head-to-head for $100,000, the chance to style an A-List celebrity and the title of GLAM GOD.
This competition reality show is open to stylists of ALL types and skill levels as long as you think you have what it takes to be the next guru to the stars just like Robert Verdi, Phillip Bloch or Rachel Zoe. SOURCE
No word on when the show will premiere but, its currently filming now. Auditions for the show were held March and April…
Beyonce & Solange on billboard in Tokyo (Splash)Beyonce & Solange made a huge debut in Tokyo last week - as the featured stars in the summer campaign for Japanese accessory designer Samantha Thavasa.
The sisters promote the designer’s summer line of Hand Bags, both appearing on a billboard overlooking the Tokyo’s Fashion District. Beyonce has been featured in Thavasa ads for some years now, but this is the first time her sister has joined along with her.
Speaking of fashion and Beyonce - among the many rumors she’s currently been in, I’m hearing she I supposedly doing something with Chanel, but no word on that one. One thing I do know for certain is she and her line Dereon are receiving backlash for a kids ad that was put out this year…
Jill Scott at “The Real Thing” reception (splash)
Jill Scott has collaborated with plus size retailer Ashely Stewart to design the Butterfly Bra - the bra made for the very beautiful and busty woman. Last week Scott held a press conference to announce the official launch of it at Ashley Stewart’s flagship store in Harlem, New York City:
Sometimes I wore two bras at once, one for lift and one for shape. I’ve had custom bras made in London, France and sometimes the support was right but the style was wrong.” The bra was designed to tackle issues common to very ample women: bad underwiring, lack of coverage in the front and straps digging in too deep into the shoulders. With this in mind they filled the under support with gel! Fantastic concept.
The price for the bras start at $38 and are available at ashelystewart.com

Cool idea Viv. Bey and Sol look alike in this pic. Jill I feel your pain even though you got me beat by a cup. I like the dress, but this pattern all over, is too much. It brings to much focus to her top. I hope she designed some minimizers too.

Now I understand why Beyonce has been wearing so much Chanel lately, and I’m glad to see Jill doing her thing. Vivica will hopefully find a stylist for her damn self, because she is not the most fashionable actress out there, but I’m glad to see Viv making that paper!!!!

I WISH I would’ve know about the stylist show auditions….well, I’ll continue to dream and put things together fabulously. Wow, I’m wondering how that gel in the place of the underwire will work. It’s soooo hard being a large-breasted woman and finding a bra that supports as well as looks cute.

@3, 8 Well they are looking grown in the ads… In the ad they have these little girls with TONS of makeup, stilleto boots, and too much glitz. They look like the little girls in pageants made to look like mini adults. Completely inappropriate. She should of had it like Kimora does with her kids line. Its stylish but not over the top.

what does vivica know about a stylist?
to all my fellow busty ladies here i have a few words for you….
Fantasie
Freya
Cacique
all make bras up to cup sizes very far into the alphabet….
Jill is not the first to tap into this market. I wear Fantasie and they are fabulous. If Jill was wearing two bras it was because she was not wearing the right size or brand. I may check out her bras, but I’m very happy with Fantasie and don’t love the idea of any extra straps across my back. But if folks find relief with her bra, good, because I see tons of women wearing ill-fitting and ugly bras. It’s getting the right size that is important and many of us are wearing bras that are just too small.

Vivica and style shouldn’t be used in the same sentence. That billboard with beyonce and solange is not hot…sorry…if you’ve seen the ad campaigns other celebs have done, this one makes you think it might be the work of an eager fan and his photoshop. The Chanel thing sounds interesting, on another note… well, because I seriously wonder what she might be doing for them when the mention of the “House of Dereon” evokes laughter. Hmmmm, maybe they’re using her in their campaigns…but then wouldn’t she have been at the unveiling of the latest line?
I wonder what movie Jill will do next? I saw her in this indie flick and she isn’t even close to a bad actress. I think because her natural voice is so mellifluous.

concreteloop, that ad did not come out this year, it came out in NOVEMBER off 07 which was SIX MONTHS AGO.
i just think that people have a problem with the ad six months later because they want to pull homegurl back in the spotlight to ask her questions about her wedding. they think they slick!!! congrats to the girl on making history

The only reason that there is the backlash because people wanted to divert issue from Miley Cyrus who doesn’t even compare. This ad was out a while back, and it only came under fire because of Cyrus’ half-naked Vanity Fair cover. Everyone really needs to stop doing this to B. If anything, the ad is reminiscent of playing dress-up. Ladies and maybe some fellas, how many times did you play dress up and put on your mom’s makeup and pretend to wear her heels. The models are also multi-ethnic.Also, guessing by the props used, they are pretending to be rockstars.The clothes don’t have messages scrolled across their chests or butts and you don’t have to buy them.

Beyonce and Solange look GREAT, Im glad to see them working together on something. I wonder if they will ever perform together…
Vivica needs her own stylist… How did they pick her to host that show… She needs to host Dr.90210. Love her but I really HATE that face lift/lip injections/cheek/chin implants… HATE IT… Great personality though (well before 50 had her droppin it like its hot on stage) .
Jill - Love you and so happy for your new bras… Heyyyyy. I heard her on the radio the other day and I wish her much success. LMAO @ two bras though… LMAO… And I can laugh because i have big breast too.

Oh and the Deron Kids Ad… Just wrong, I remember saying that when I first saw it. I didn’t even want to look at it. I like Kimoras ads or rocawear kids ads. They look natural, fresh and cool. I know little girls play dress up but that was just wrong. I always think about child molesters when I see little girls in too much make up and grown up clothing. People need to realize children are being preyed on. Do they know how many Americans go to foreign countries to have sex with kids. Its sad. Not sure if it was Beyonce who made that choice for the kids but if it was then she was wrong and should change it….

Not true…she was under scrutiny well before the Miley ad. The thing with the ad is fashion insiders don’t take her clothing line seriously so it already carries a negative connotation…so when it turned out that the new ad was actually sensational in itself, there was nothing left for “serious” journalists/outlets to do but address it. In other words, it’s either this or nothing when it comes to that clothing line. Either it’s going to be typically shitty and not even come close to the radar or it’s going to be shitty in a remotely serious way and come under scrutiny for that.

um, the time to have scrutinized the ad was 6 MONTHS ago. people so desperately want her to go away then when she finally does, they pull up old crap because they miss her. if the ad is that bad, then it’s time people go after pagent girls

#28 where have you been? they absolutely DO go after pageant girls. Or did you miss the 292,926,295,627,322,929 specials on the subject? What about the dozen reality shows? It’s quite the controversial topic in this country. And I’m sure Beyonce saw nothing wrong with it because she, herself, was a pageant kid and every bit as made up and over as the girls were in her ad. And, because of that, I think they should have left her alone. She’s tacky and bleak…sure, she’s going to think the line should be an exact facsimile of the adult line but in smaller sizes. That’s pretty much standard Beyonce.

I’m happy for Bey and Sol but I don’t like this pic. You can tell they really put some photoshop in it to tweak their faces. If you are familiar with intense photo editing then you know what I mean to make them more acceptable by the company’s buyers. Even though they are famous many investors are still not very keen about African American women having power. Even in the new age.
I’m happy for Jill and I’ll try out that new bra because I’m losing weight everywhere except my boobs so thanks!

Anyway, look the Bee and Solo ad, and yes, I do think she has a deal with Chanel in the works.
Jill Scott is beautiful.

Congrats to Beyonce and Solonge, and I have never seen people over react to an ad like this it’s ridiculous. The girls in the ad are covered from head to toe with clothing and accessories. The way people are talking you would think they had the little girls in bathing suit looking attire bent over something, it’s just silly. The ads may be alittle over the top with the make up and heels the one girl has on, which look like there too big for her so I’m guessing they were going for a playing dress up theme, but all this about it being overly sexual is just pure bullshit. People really are looking to be offended and to find something negative to say about a black woman achieving success. Rock on Ms. Knowles.
And to Jill you go girl glad to see you making moves especially ones that relate to you. Celebs will through there names on anything to make a buck and swear up and down the use the products they endorse knowing dame well it’s a lie, but I don’t blame them lol, hell make that money as long as you ain’t endorsing crack, lol I’t alright with me.

I must agree with many other bloogers, I don’t see anything sexual about these ads. A little over-the-top, yes, but it is clearly the sign-of-the-times. This line is going nowhere folks, so stop hating which a LOT of you are doing. If you don’t know what is happening around you, please read and listen and see. Beyonce didn’t start it. How many of you who criticized her give your daughters Barbie dolls??? The mainstream media has your mind all messed up. Those who feel its sexual need to stop, your ignorance is overwhelming. And you my friend are the most dangerous. Those people who make molehills into mountains for the sake of destroying others. Hope you’re having fun, but you really need to find something useful to do instead.

i support Jill 100% and would love to try these bras and this its a good idea but….who pays 38.00 for a bra! Ashley stewarts better start handing out coupons! i love to shop and i will spend if i think its worth it so i will try it and if it doesnt do all thats promised i am gonna be mad about the 38.00 because thats 2 playtex bras which do the job for these DD’s!
Also the house of DEREON KIDS AD was a bit much! too many child molesters and stuff out here to go that far with small children. lipsticks and heels and boas should not be on the list at that age….more like ponytails & dolls! this is why there are so many kids trying to be grown because this is what they see and nobody is teaching them better. the clothes are cute but more innocense was needed in that ad!

#15 before you accuse somebody else of using different names I suggest you stop switching your name yourself.SMDH You are obsessed with Beyonce and it is quite sad. I think you know you have an obsession which is why you keep changing your name so no one will notice. How many times are you going to say the same crap about Beyonce over and over under different names on blogs? What you think dont matter, her fans outnumber you. She is still going to be rich, beautiful, and successful at everything she does at the end of the day. Get a life besides obsessing over Beyonce and attacking every person who compliments her.SMH

Beyonce stans kill me trying to defend her for everything. People are entitled to their opinions. Stop wasting space on a blog to talk about how much you adore her and how talented she is and how everyone is just jealous. Save that shyt for her STAN website.
The kid ad was extremely inappropriate. The babies may be been covered up, but they still looked like hussies in the making.

Congrads to Jill! It’s about time they start designing undergarments for the thicky thick girls that hold them thangs up! Imma put my sisters on game. Now if someone could come up with garment that fits slim women with real curves up top.
I personally am tired of going into Lane Bryant’s just to get mean mugged by customers and being told to shop somewhere else by employees because I am small. Yeah, size 10 and Lane Bryant’s is the only place I can go into to try on a 36DDD.
Anyone got some suggestions…besides Fredrick’s Hollywood? They usually run out that size quick. LOL – Forgive me. Got a little personal but you just don’t know!

I think that it is sad that ppl are actually agreeing with Fox News. They always have something to say about something that should not even be in the news. They should be covering real stories. Anyway I am almost positive Beyonce and her teams goal was to make an ad showing girls playing dress up. The girls are not in provacative positions and are fully clothed. They have on a little lipstick but what woman did not wear their mothers lipstick when they were girls. the clothing is beautiful and so is the ad. U dont hear any positive positions on the ad. Like the little girl playing the piano, or having a tea party. It is a realistic ad.
Also we dont have to live our lives in fear of pedophiles. They are attracted to children regardless of what they are doing. ANd we should not be punished because of the crazy ass ppl out there. Beyonce and her team is not trying to attract pedophiles. Because if you see anything sexual about this picture you have issues…

I think the Bey ad is old news and it’s sad it’s even an issue today. I see kids wear way worse and I really don’t see how anyone is losing sleep behind any of the shit. Everyone stated their opinion, no need to keep coming back trying to prove your point…no one cares.
With that said…I LOVE JILL SCOTT and who ever wins that stylist competition, Vivica needs to take heed lol

I like Jill Scott but she need to lose some damn weight. She almost look as big as her character in Why did I get married. I don’t even think Aretha was that big at Jill’s age. If Jill continues with her unhealthy lifestyle, she will only get bigger. Aretha didn’t start out a size 32. Jill is single, no kids and paid! She better get her a life coach or something. Her size don’t have to be in the single digits but damn, can she get in the teens?
