God, Naomi is like Halle and fine wines - they just get even better looking with age…
Loving me some Queen Latifah (can’t wait to see her in Valentines Day - out next year, looking like the next He’s Just Not That Into You - got a sik cast)…

i liked the short black bob on raven, the one she wore on the tyra banks show about ‘good hair’. mary’s outfit is horrendous, seriously does noami ever age? she looks exactly the same as she did when she first came out, i guess the old saying is true ‘black don’t crack’

Yea looks like Raven slimmed down a bit or maybe it’s because she got on black….Janele monae needs a new stylist..that tuxedo look is fading away! and them brows need arching.

I agree, it does look like Raven has lost a couple of pounds.
I would get so sick and bored of always wearing the exact same outfit (Janelle Monae).

Lmao, “The 4th Annual”? For real? Seems like they have one of these “Goddesshood/L*sbianism” encouragement award galas at least 3-4 times a year.

My girl Mel! She looks so pretty. Raven Simone came out from??? But her hair is cute..outfit, can’t really comment. As for Tracee, I love her, but she needs to at least tame her hair! and why does that girl behind Regina King look like she’s a psycho fan?? Ugh!

SAY WHAT???

@omit-the-small-ones
“TAME her hair” - gosh what the heck does tame mean?? get over it black folks have healthy big hair…who gives a shit what the rest of society thinks, i wish more folks would step out of this dull as box America paints as “order, structure and productive”…
Anywho all the ladies look nice, Regina’s arms are killer and i admire them! i hope she play Michelle Obama.

King Latifah’s hands look very manly. I know I know that was wrong, but damn Tifah what’s up. Melanie is going to be shitting on them when they realize her talent.
Raven fuck what they say, you look good girl, take care of yourself, your 40 million in the bank assures you of that. You look great.

Does the ‘BLACK GIRLS ROCK’ AWARDS seem slightly racist and sexist?
I understand honoring the achievements of exceptional women of color, but “Black Girls Rock!” Who came up with that title?

For a minute I thought Raven was Lala until I looked a little closer. Raven is such a pretty girl & her size works for her. Dang, Mary disappointed me today, she is usually on point. I love Queen Latifah but hated the outfit. Thank you to whoever said Janelle Monae needs a new stylist.

i wonder if they have a white girls rock? it would probably get protested, huh?

If not a protest, certainly a hung jury due to insufficient evidence. There are two things that are for sure: White men can’t jump and white girls don’t rock. It’s more like a bucking motion. lol!
