Opening Act-Shutting them Down and Up!

Beyonce silenced her critics for lip-syncing the national anthem during the Inauguration by opening her Super Bowl press conference with a live version.

Any Questions?

Mrs. O is wearing Jason Wu once again.  It's a halter-neck ruby chiffon custom gown with velvet details, and Jimmy Choo shoes.  Even though she's spectacular, it would've been nice to give someone else a play this time around.

Just sayin.

Say Grace

I always say grace before I eat.  From now on before I say "Amen", I'm going to visualize Jennifer Hudson, and thank God for helping me make good food choices.  She is inspirational!

Stunning...To Me Too!

Things have been a little dark for me right now, but....this image made me remember that there is beauty-even in the dark.  Thanks for the much needed reminder Monica. 

If you don't know Monica Mingo-click on her name above and get to know her.  She is a woman who lives by her own lights, tells it like it is, and is as funny as she is brutally honest.  She always (SIP excluded) comes from a place of love-even if its tough love.  Her posts invite discussion, and the "tribe" is a delightful mix of women (sometimes men), who are just as insightful, wise, and entertaining as she.  If that's not enough for you-she makes films-good ones. 

Check out her blog-she is a phenomenal, inspirational woman.

Iman, 54, is flawless at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards June 7.  

She was honored with the Fashion Icon Award.  Let's have a moment of silence on that 54 years old.  Proof that elegance still reigns supreme and that women over 50 can still make it rain.

Lauryn Hill

It's so good to see Lauryn Hill again after such a long absence.  I still have her in my ear.  Her album twelve years ago still sounds good to me.  It's probably more relevant than what's out here now.  I would however offer a small piece of advice before hitting that carpet again-groom your brows baby.  It makes all the difference in the world. Here are a few products to consider:
