Singer Ciara took time off from headlining the Screamfest tour to promote Rocawear’s I Will Not Lose campaign at Macys Herald Square. I cannot even feign the slightest bit of interest in this story because I really think it’s boring at this point. What are we suppose to be buying, the sob stories in these commercials of the clothes? I want to see a hot fashion spread or something from Ciara, anything except what we are getting now. Rocawear has a beautiful young woman as the face of their women’s line and yet has no idea what to do with her.

Singer Keyshia Cole is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, Just Like You, and photos from that upcoming project have now been released to the public. Keyshia keeps the blonde trend going as she did with her first album and basically looks exactly the same, sans a few orange streaks here and there. I honestly wish young singers of today would take a cue from Janet Jackson and switch up their looks with every album. This gives fans something to look forward to and if done properly, can help establish you as a fashion icon.

With word that Vibe Vixen would be no more after the Aug/Sept edition, folks are once again scratching their heads and wondering why so many magazines aimed at Black women seem to fail. Granted, few magazines are ever geared towards sisters, but in the last 3 years, 3 of the most visible to do so, have ceased publication: Vixen, Honey and Suede. Now in the past I have written about exactly why I believe Honey folded, but Suede came and went so fast that I never even saw it, while Vixen was an on again- off again project that just never really took off.

As previously reported, Vibe Vixen has released it’s final issue with Rihanna on the cover, and in true Vibe style, they sent me my digital and print issues weeks late. I am somewhat forgiving though as this issue doesn’t appear to be half as boring as many of the others. Hoping to go out with a bang, Vixen not only featured Rihanna on the cover and in an amazing fashion spread, but also had a great round table discussion with various women in the entertainment field about the representation of Black women in the media and even threw in a little scandal by featuring a very in depth interview with Karrine Steffans. Oh, and did I mention fellow Brown Sista blogger, Natasha Eubanks of YBF, is also featured in the magazine?

I was totally bored today and had posted all the articles I intended to post until I came across these gawd awful photos of Meagan Good and her new boobs decked out in a dress I have seen her wearing several times before. Now I know in the past it has been said she had been augmented but I didn’t believe it or care for that matter. It’s not like plastic surgery is new to celebs. But once I got a whiff of these new uber boobs of hers, I was too through. For a sista who is always complaining of not being taken seriously as an actress, she is making all the wrong moves in order to be taken seriously.
