Miss Universe 2010 | The Black Women

Miss Universe took place on August 23, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Miss Mexico, Ximena Navarrete, took home the crown beating out popular Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillips.

All the ethnic women with African ancestry straightened their hair. Why doesn’t at least one of them have an afro or show their curly locks.

It is the day an age where styles and the version of beauty is changing with in the black culture. More and more black women are going natural and becoming comfortable with their hair. Can we have one fine example of this in the pageant? I guess not.

This proves that the rest of the world needs to play catch up and change their views of beauty. Let’s get a real african women to show her full self including her hair. This ensures freedom.

Kelly Rowland Comes Big with New Album

Kelly Rowland Comes Big with New Album

Kelly Rowland is coming back strong with a new album set to release in the fall and the hair to match. Her latest hits “When Love Takes You Over” with David Guetta, took the world by storm making it one of the hottest songs in the past year. Rowland’s new dance song, “Commander”, will be released in the late summer.

Kelly Rowland is here to stay and continues to move forward towards success.

Her look is great. I am happy she moved towards the curly tresses oppose to the straighter hair. It gives her a different look from anyone else out there and it goes with what she is trying to accomplish.  She must had someone  change her image. This works Miss Rowland!

3rd Annual Gemini’s Give Back Event: Melky Jean Birthday and Carma Foundation

3rd Annual Gemini’s Give Back Event: Melky Jean Birthday and Carma Foundation

Last night, Melky Jean along with her beautiful friends, Ashley Graham, Trina, Vivica Fox, Patti LaBelle, Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih, and her family (all 200 of them) attended her Carma’s Foundation 3rd annual Gemini’s Give Back Event with the celebration of her birthday.

The event was star studded and even had live performances by the entire

Jean family for the Haiti and Carma Foundation. Everyone looked fab, but I am really fascinated by the birthday girls hair. Melky Jean has been rocking this fro for a few years now and I love it.

It is not an actual “all natural hair” thing. She actually sews in fro tracks, sort of what Solange has been doing for the past couple of weeks. There is a new trend starting with these natural fro’s far black women. The fro maybe returning it’s cycle be to now. I believe Melky Jean is the originator.
