LMFAO @ #12. about Ryan. I love his music…but I swear he reminds me of Shock G aka Mr. Humpty Hump himself…from Digital Underground.

Pam Grier DAMN this is my girl right here!!! Shes what 60 now? Still looks so good. Black dont crack.
That is NOT Vanessa L. Williams (from Ugly Betty), that’s Vanessa A. Williams.
It’s a shame that more of these beautiful sisters dont have men with them. All them black NBA/NFL dudes got women (usually non-black), but no one dating or married to these chicks

Faith is not looking so great…..

black is beautiful, period
Monday, November 3, 2008 /
Can’t believe people always have negative things to say. In re: to the comments about Estelle, you must not be so sure about your own self if the first thing you have to publicly post is your opinion about her looks. I am sure that you’re one who strives to “be” while she already “is.”
30.
I support, SUPPORT! lol
Monday, November 3, 2008 /
Gotta love beautiful black women!

Maybe if the movie Cadillac Records had been an independent film, MARSHA AMBROISHUS could have played Etta James role. She looks more fitting fro the part.
Ryan Leslie is a total mouth-breather.

That is not Vanessa L. Williams, that’s Vanessa A. Williams…Vanessa L. is the light-skinned one! I would think ya’ll would know the difference by now!

I disagree with some of the comments about Estelle.
I think she’s pretty. Its just that the blue eyeshadow isn’t doing her justice.

I was there and the awards were, in three words, FAB-U-LOUS! The reason Faith is dressed in jeans is because she was asked at the very last moment to fill in for Roy Ayers. She just happened to be in town and did BGR a huge favor. She didn’t have rehearsal time with the band and she said she didn’t even have time to run out and buy a cute outfit. She rocked her set like a pro and like she and the band were tight. I give her mad props for coming through the way she did. And if you thought everyone looked nice you should have heard their speeches. So inspiring! I will blog about it tomorrow on uptownlife.net. Peace!

rite ON!!!

How fitting, to come into a post about positivity towards women of color…and spout off something negative about Estelle. *big ass eye-roll*
Those shoes look like they hurt your feet at the end of the night, Erykah.

I am the last person to be star struck…BUT If I saw Iman walking down the street, I’d trip over myself over and over. She is so STUNNING and it seems she gets more beautiful with time!
Most everyone looks decent…LOL @ Erykah’s silly ass hat. I love that crazy chick.

Yeah, Black girls do rock, really love Estelle’s style always have like this regal look going on, but can’t say that i am to crazy about the eye make up here, but i normally like her make up, always flawless, and i see June Ambrose has went under the knife and had a little rhinoplasty.

“To everyone ……. She is ugly And if you have a problem with my OPINION.. You can kiss my Caramel ASS……”
The fact that you have to go there “my Caramel Ass” is a revelation of the insecure self-hating inferiority complex that you are burdened with. Here’s hoping, for your sake, that you encounter a fantastic skin bleaching product.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 /
beauty is in the eye of the beholder…azzhloes
estelle may NOT b attractive to YOU, but i find her beautiful…& she ALWAYS serves when she comes out: sick fits, sick shoes, & I don’t even think she has a stylist, she just knows HOW to dress…which so many other celebrities still haven’t mastered on their own.
big ups to estelle
