Beyonce Knowles has faced controversy with skin color from ad campaigns for skin lightening, now images of her depicting the singer in ‘Blackface’ has blogs buzzing with controversy. However, this is not actually the first time the Houston native had her image darkened for a beautiful photo or film sequence.
In Dreamgirls, Knowles was depicted in various stylized fashion editorial sequences for a film montage. Not only was Knowles’ character in the film beautiful celebrity, but also in an era of Civil Rights. I, for one, can appreciate the images of Knowles as one of appreciation and tribute to icons like Fela Kuti and Grace Jones. However, I can also appreciate the conversation with words like ‘African Roots’ and ‘Blackface’ have meant overtime. I’m not keen on being quick to call industries or companies racist or bigoted, nor am I one to depreciate the efforts of Beyonce to not only express herself but also extend herself and charity work as an American, a Black woman, and female. I do believe, these photos are beautiful and can understand a degree of concern. However, last time I checked, Beyonce is an Independent woman, who knows herself and her own boundaries, as well as the ability to say no. Knowles, I’m sure, as well as all the persons who took part in the editorial, from stylists, photographer, editor, and more had an idea to pay tribute, not disrespect.
Actress, Designer, and Mother, Sofia Vergara revealed on The Talk, not only was she once pressured to lose weight but her more than revealing response that had an audience of women in full cheers. Catch the clip, below:

Just because the images are SO beautiful, natural…my favorite of all time is 1975′s Cheryl Tiegs. She is absolutely gorgeous.”

I was recently posed this very question from friend and responded via Facebook:
I was sad to hear about the lack of physical store availability of the brand. I love their eyeshadows, cleansers, and of course their coveted eyelash curler. The brand has a cult following of beauty editors, makeup artists, and gals who know a good curl is essential to making eyes pop (even on those no-makeup days). Shu Uemura, much like brands like Prescriptives which have a great following of beauty addicts have built a strong reputation for quality and innovation which continues not with counter-space, but cyberspace. For the record, Carol Hamilton, president of L’Oréal USA’s Luxury Division explained: “We love the brand, but it is a very small part of our portfolio.” Hamilton added ”It’s a simple decision after a very complex analysis: we have a very large portfolio, and we want to focus on growing the brands which have a larger presence in the U.S. market.”I am very happy to note that we all have access to the brand which is currently promoting their “Morphorium” line of eye color and palettes through their website. I particularly love the morphorium blue palette. The colors remind of of a peacock set in lush greenery. While the actually application gives off a Katy Perry-esque feel with the pops of color.
Kim Kardashian is a reality tv star, actress, spokesmodel, business owner, and pop-singer but for the March Issue of Bazaar she is also the covergirl and gets to be an interviewer as well as pay homage to the Queen of the Nile. Kim Kardashian not only channels Cleopatra, she had the opportunity to be one of her idols and interview Elizabeth Taylor who played the title-character in the 1963 film, Cleopatra.
When Kim Kardashian said to the screen legend “You are my idol. But I’m six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?” Elizabeth Taylor answered “I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things. But I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS. Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.” Check out the March issue of Bazaar and read the full interview with Elizabeth Taylor. The photo below features Kim Kardashian in one of the original robes from Taylor’s film Cleopatra.

If you run out of shaving cream, use conditioner. And as always it’s best to shave right after a shower and hold off on applying lotion right after shaving to prevent hair follicules from being clogged promoting ingrown hairs.
