I like the fringe she has here. This is one of the only shoots of her where she looks soft and happy.

What do you think? Is Rihanna too reliant on image? Will her career survive her silence on domestic violence?

Fashion Notes: Silhouettes…
[Image: Beyonce's Lair - that's me folks!]
One of my friends has agreed to make a dress for me in a few months so I have been thinking about what kind of shapes and silhouettes I want for my dress. I love this figure-hugging look that Beyoncé has in the Déja Vu* video.
It looks sensual, but not slutty. It looks the like the kind of dress that your husband wants you to wear lol. The only problem for me is the lack of straps on the dress, which would not work with my chest, trust me.
10 Things A Natural Girl (Me) Noticed in a Black Hair Salon
[I wrote this @ The Afro Spear and have cross-posted it here]
Last weekend, I went with a close friend of mine at a hair salon in east London. My friend was getting a weave done, however, just sitting with her was such a ripe opportunity for me to observe how some black women act within the space of the hair salon.
10. The sharp smell of smoke that was piping out of one patron’s head as she sat underneath the dryer! I never noticed how thick the plumes of smoke can get.
9. How the rattail combs poke in and out of people’s heads as they undo their braids underneath their long weaves.

The Wire on BBC: These 4 Men Were Gorgeous!
The Wire has just come on BBC. The first ever episode so I am watching it now and WOW, how gorgeous are the men here? I knew about Idris’ fine arse being on The Wire but you lot did not tell me about this guy, Wood Harris. I remember him from Above The Rim & Remember The Titans. He is absolutely gorgeous.
Dominic West can get it. We all know I’m about the black but he is with David Beckham and Eminem on the ship of cute white guys.
Idris Elba – This man looks like he could convert any woman. Just beautiful.
4. Michael K. Williams
This man has a nubian, almost regal look to him. Very sexy in my book at any rate.

Quote of the Week/Month: LMAO!
Beyoncéitis is one of most biting, hilarious blogs on the net. I laughed when I read this:
(SIDEBAR: Can we write Beyonce a hot Monster’s Ball love scene or something? I know she’s married but I need passion! Beyonce needs to make us feel like she wants the dick! That’s what wins Oscars!) Continue reading

Food For Thought
After uni today, I went to a talk @ Queen Mary University that my friend alerted me about. It was about entrepreneurial endeavours and there were speakers from Barclays & Accenture. It was a fantastic event, with young students sharing preliminary ideas specifically from an Afro-Caribbean perspective. Continue reading
