everytime i see questlove i really wish he’d just go to a barber and get a trim… just so that the look isnt so ugh… you look dirty dude (imo)… and then after that, go to a dermatologist.
damn jill scott blew back up…..
…and do i even have to say a word about jennifer… that dress accentuates the negatives… she looks like a bobble head… the boots are kray though
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE CUT & PASTE JENNIFERS HEAD ONTO THAT BODY. LOL!!!……JENNY JONES!!
Jennnnifer please stop losing weight now! U r skinny enough….starting to look bad now.
AND EMILY B HAS THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM B/C SHE MOST DEF NEEDS TO LOSE 20 LBS. I’M SO SICK OF HER WEARING OUTFITS MADE FOR A SIZE 4!!! IT SEEMS WITH HER BEING A STYLIST SHE’D DRESS HERSELF BETTER TO FIT HER BODY & HIDE THE UNFLATTERING AREAS BETTER. NOT CUTE EMILY……JENNY JONES!!!
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT DOUGIE FRESH SEES IN JANELLE SNOWDEN. HIS WIFE LOOKS MUCH, MUCH BETTER……..JENNY JONES!!!
Jennifer, looks HORRIBLE! People that get WLS, look horrible after awhile…WOW!! I thought you were suppose to look good after losing weight. This just goes to show,do it the right way. Jill had lost that weight,she looked beautiful, not Jennifer… : (
Jennifer boots are hott, and LaLa dress is banging she looks beautiful!!!
jhud got star jones head sharon jones onpoint and chaka still look good
Jennifer, that outfit is terrible!
Wow Emily looks very nice for change. Luv the dress
J Hud doesnt look bad…I think she’s gaining a lil weight which is GREAT!…I LOVE the fact she cut that hair…the long hair was not doing her justice…KEEP IT UP JENNIFER!!!
The devil is a lie!!!!
If there is one thing that didnt change for J-Hud is the style. She could never dress to save her life, with all the money, still can’t dress, the outfit is too much. As far as the body, she becomes less attractive, on mag covers ansd the latest time I saw her at that fashion event with that designer, she was fab, but this here is not cute.
Jill Scott is a grand dame queen beast as she calls herself, very beautiful woman, awesome figure as well.
Everyone else looks good excepting mary’s blonde wig!
J-Hud….smh.
Jennifer is not turning it in that outfit and hairstyle at all. And only Mary can do the thigh high boots justice.
J Hud may be thin in the waste now, but she still is not cute in the face. I don’t care what they do to her she is not the business, however, I like the dress
LALA is always on point in my opinion. Emily B is thick as hell & it looks good. Jill Scott absolutely beautiful. Love Sheri’s shoes (those are the ones Beyonce has) Marsha Ambrosias is another one that needs a stylist ( I actually think she looked better thick)
Marsha’s dress does her no justice. JHud please put the weight watchers down. Everyone else looks good. Lala, love the hair and makeup. She can wear the red lips without looking clown-like.
yay! u go Emily B!
Love Martha Reeves, you looming good gurl!!!!!!!
Martha Reeves looks great. So down to earth!
