Passion for Fashion sisters!

 Miss Angela and Vanessa Simmons , daughters of hip-hop legend "Rev Run", were about a few days go celebrating Vanessa's 29th birthday. They both are stunning and beautiful business women. They are the face of the sneaker line "Pastry" the colorful sweet candy sneakers. They never cease to amaze me when these two hit the party scene. We desperately miss "Runs House" and "Daddy's Girls."

Looking Good.

Rihanna, a Danger to Brands?

Princess Rih Rih is always in the headlines. Whether it be for new music, smoking ganja out in public, being seen in the same place as Chris Brown or fashion. But this time, Rih's name is ringing bells because she has just been dropped by Nivea.

As a Rihanna fan, I know just like everybody else that Rihanna is the QUEEN of switching her style up. On Monday, she can be a 1950's pin-up and by Thursday, she's street chic a la 90's Aaliyah and TLC. Apparently, Nivea is NOT a big fan of change. The head of Nivea's parent company, Beiersdorf said to German media that they would not be resigning Rihanna because she doesn't fit their family image.

"Rihanna is a no go. I do not understand how to bring the core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna. Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability."

Granted, Rihanna doesn't scream "family image"; she's more of a young sex symbol a la the infamous Marilyn Monroe. But let's not forget Rihanna is only 24 years old -- she's living that Y.O.L.O. lifestyle. And truthfully, Rihanna probably doesn't give a flying fuck about being dropped. Rihanna is VERY popular, she can bounce back from this and probably snatch up ten more deals but what she should remember is that brands like for their spokesperson to be consistent. If they saw you as wholesome on day one, then you better have that wholesome image until your contract ends. Brands and endorsement deals are important to any celebrity.

Make wise decisions people =)

Photo Op: First Public Pic of Penelope Scotland Disick

Last month we shared the news with you that Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to her baby girl, Penelope. UsWeekly have Penelope's debut paparazzi photo on their cover which she also shares with big brother Mason and mommy Kourt. (Umm, where's Daddy Scott? Never mind, it's none of my business. What do I know, I'm just a writer.)

Little mama looks like they disturbed her nap time lol. What do you think of little Penelope Scotland Disick?

Princess Rih-Rih Copying Teyana Taylor?

I am a huge Rihanna fan!!! #Rihanna Navii. But rumor has it that Rihanna is copying Teyana Taylor's style. I beg to differ. In recent interviews Teyana  says she paved the way for artists to dress street but still chic and hott!. It is true from the time I met Teyana back in the 2000's she always wore hats and sneakers, with that hood type style that was always fresh and hott. I would not deny that, but saying she paved the way.? That is kind of stretching it.

In a interview with Complex Magazine Taylors emphasize how she does not take Rihanna using her style in a negative way. But when Rihanna posted her pictures on Twitter and Instagram like she uaully does; Teyana fans took to twitter to beam about how Rihanna was copying her! Uh I think not. So Taylor responded by retweeting the picture, and joked about with her fans making statements about Rihanna's picture. Stating, "That isn't Teyana.

"Speaking of your style, you were one of, if the not the first, chick to bring back the more street look for women. You were wearing Jordans and BBC and fitted caps when you first came out. Now Rihanna and Rita Ora are on it. Do you feel like that’s your look?
I do feel like I influence a lot of artists. But the way I look at it is not in a negative way. I love them. When I came in the game, it wasn’t okay to be a girl and wear sneakers and hats and street wear. They called me gay. Now the tomboy thing, it’s sexy. Rihanna and Rita Ora are fly and sexy. I’m happy I was able to pave that way. I love seeing our artists dressed like that. You ain’t gay if you throw on sneakers and a hat. Nobody can take that away from me and say, “Oh, she didn’t start that trend.” They all know. I’ve always been about this life and mixing kicks with high fashion on some ghetto chic shit."

I do not really see the fuss over all of this. Rihanna always dresses like  this, she is in a category by herself. Teyana wears her style very well so does Rihanna, so does a lot of the regular girls I run into daily. Taylor is not the first to wear kicks and hats. Styles are recylyed we all copy each other in a sense. But I am not sure whether Teyana was trying to be negative towards Rihanna about the pic. Should we stress it? NOOO its just a damn pic. Do ya thing Teyana and Rihanna!!

Solange Inks a New Deal

Over the years Solange has truly broken out of the shadow of Beyonce's little sister and she's making a name for herself as a singer, DJ, fashionista and an endorsement magnet. Solange has inked endorsement deals with some major companies such as Carol's Daughter, Rimmel London and now she can add the clothing brand, Madewell to her resume. In my opinion, Solange is the perfect spokesmodel for the brand who's slogan is "Mix Well. Madewell."

Below is a behind the scenes look of her Madewell shoot. What do you think?

Aaliyah's Family NOT Supporting Any New Aaliyah album

The media has done it again; toying with Aaliyah's memory and legacy...

The following post is from NecoleBitchie.com. Please read on and tell us your thoughts...

Over the past few weeks there has been talks of an Aaliyah posthumous album (executive produced by Drake and his producing partner Noah ’40′ Shebib) as well as talks of a biopic which has been going on for years. Then there has been the discussions on whether Missy Elliott and Timbaland, who produced the bulk of Aaliyah’s ‘One In A Million’ album, should be involved in the project.
Truthfully, we could probably all agree that an Aaliyah album at this point would be sketchy, no matter who produces it. All of the material she recorded is over a decade old and are probably leftover scraps that didn’t make her album or unfinished songs. Case in point: Her verses on the newly released track, ‘Enough said‘ with Drake sound as though they were unfinished.
At any rate, her brother Rashad, hopped on her facebook page yesterday and claimed there is no Aaliyah album in the works that is endorsed by her family.

“there is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family.” -Rashad Haughton (regarding upcoming album release rumors)

That’s confusing since her label’s logo (ran by her uncle Barry Hankerson) was included on the official artwork that was released. That track was definitely endorsed by the label. This could have all been Rashad’s way of saying that the project (which may be in production) is not supported by her immediate family.
Over on Miss Info, a solid source told her that the posthumous project is in the works and Timbaland is producing at least two songs.
On her facebook, Aaliyah’s brother also shut down rumors of a biopic in production by first posing the question, ‘Biopic Yes or No?’ and then posting,

“No female I’ve seen can play my sister.” -Rashad

As an Aaliyah fan, I'd still love to see a movie about her however, a full blown album, ehhhhh not so much... Now that I think about it, a movie might be kinda far-fetched too. That's like somebody doing a movie about Beyonce. And y'all know I lovessssssss me some KING BEY!
