TGIF! "hash tag cause the booty don't lie"

 

 

And yeah...even when you edit us - the booty don't lie...

 

 

Werk!

Heeeeeeeya! :)

 

 

Let's go waaaaaay back: Part 1

 

Waaay-black-when! :)

 

Was watching an old episode of Moesha this morning and it got me thinking about all those shows that were a big part of my formative years.

 

1. Good Times

 

 

Remember this "Sugar Shack" Ernie Barnes painting?

 

I didn't quite understand English and I certainly couldn't speak it. But even then, I understood three things: a) Thelma's hair was amazing b) Ol girl had style c) Jay Jay was hi-larious

 

The 'Kid Dynomite"!

 

 

2. The Cosy Show

 

 

 

It was the height of apartheid and a little black girl like myself needed to see this one.

 

That Mr & Mrs Huxtable love

 

 And well if not for that, there was always Theo.

 

 

Cute and fwaaaaayn Theooo

 

3. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

 

 

I can safely trace my hots for funny boys to this show.

 

4. Martin

 

 

This one needs no introduction. Wazzup...wazzup...wazUUUUUP!

 

It's Mz Jenkins beeesch!

 

 

And who can forget that Martin & Gina kinda love?

Classically versatile

 

 

 Named after the date of its birth (February, 1955), this little beaut represents the epitome of style and the ultimate status symbol. Don't let the loaded hipsters who throw it over filthy jeans fool you.

 

 

Legend has it, the Chanel 2.55 bag was one of the most revolutionary of its time due to the introduction of a chain strap, enabling women to carry their purse on their arm instead of in their hand. At this time, when socialites were busy holding their glasses of champagne, eating canapés, and reading their theatre programmes, Chanel recognized a need for women to have their hands free.

 

 

Decades later, the 2.55 remains one of the most instantly recognized iconic designer bags, 'The Birkin' bag perhaps, coming a close second. Even if you don't know what it's called, you know this bag. It's inspired epic imitation. But fret not, mama Chanel doesn't mind. she's been quoted...

 “I would shed tears the day no one copied me.”

Carine Roitfeld over at CR Book (crfashionbook.com) had fun with it. Behold, the classis Chanel 2.55 bag in all it's diverse glory...

*busts this TI move*

 

When the music reaches 'that part' when it's OVER....

 

*busts these moves*

 

Then slides out of this room with this Pharrel move...

 

 

Any questions?

Ooooohkay Chanel Iman! Get it.

Okay, I'll admit. When I ran into this cover shoot while stalking Galore Magazine's 2nd edition (http://galoremag.com/)

 I did this silent scream thing I do when an editorial gives me life. Looks like SO much fun and hawt to def!

 

 

 

 

Werk momma!

 

 

 

 

 

Hot then you're cold

 

I'm not one for a lot of colour, pastels at that. Monochrome is my natural inclination. But this Shxpir shot editorial for Harpers Bazaar China put a smile on my face.
