Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: La La Does Sports Illustrated+Other Ish

  • Posted on Feb 13, 2008 by Natasha

    La La Does Sports Illustrated+Other Ish

    La La Vasquez is all over the pages of the new Sports Illustrated.  And the only thing more interesting than these pics is the fact that this spread is for the Atheletes’ Wives feature…

    She’s rocking a Juicy Couture swimsuit.

    Source: SI.com

    I really hope these are outtakes.  But that new baby has done her body good.

    Congrats to Barack for killing the DC, MD, and VA primaries last night.  Nice.

    And House of Damnitswrong has previewed its new Spring ‘08 line:

    And dare I say it…but many of Mama Tina’s creole creations actually look pretty fab this time around.  I wonder who finally took the wheel…

    The Randomness:

    1. The writers’ strike is over.  Hells yeah.  And am I the only one mostly excited about my secret obsession Gossip Girls returning?  I hear they’re ordering 9 more episodes before the season ends too by the way.

      Someting about her new line doesn’t seem all the orginial. I still don’t see no girls beyonce size in any of these adds. I thought her line is suppose to be for ladies with curves too?

      Lala is looking nice. Honestly, those pictures aren’t too flattering. I hope those are out takes also.

      La la- I s a RMW- Rody made Wrong. Her top is larger then her bottom. She should have had her stylist dress her in a bathing suite that went with her body. The bathing suite is for a big girl, not a girl whose body is out of “wack”

      I saw some of these dresses on Tyra’s show when Tina Knowles was on there. I remember seeing Kelly in that Fire dress… and I’ve Beyonce with a few of the dresses on too. Some are cute, most can go.
      SI “Athlete Wives” - who came up with this concept? Who cares about the wives? I don’t get the point of them being featured in a bikini. Is this some type of competition as to who has the hottest wife, smh. Oh, but wait, since when is LaLa a wife? She has been engaged for like 5 years now.
      Go O!

      LaLa is anything but sexy so please stop it with the sultry and seductive poses. It’s not working.
      Neither is the 4 toes.

      Is there some reason why House of Dereon has shied away from using more ethnic looking models? I mean if Sean John can do an entire show at Fashion Week using all WOC, HOD couldn’t at least go half? Discuss …

      I agree about House of Dereon models. Why are there no chocolate women, or girls from the hood looking young women who are the actual people buying this hot mess. Knowles family, can you give the young sistas a job! I hate that we feel the need to use white people or those who look damn near white to promote our products? do y’all really think those white hos are buying this mess?

      wow…the hate is amazingly funny.
      i think La La looks good…the suit is sexy yet tasteful and it compliments the areas she wanted to showcase. she has great skin and nice legs as well…cute girl.
      we all know exactly why SI decided to do a swinsuit piece on athlete’s wives! most of us could care less…but trust, this issue WILL DO WELL. if they ladies wanna get their shine on that way…i aint knockin’ their hustle.
      and why are we so judgemental on her not being married to carmelo yet??? MAYBE…just MAYBE…she’s taking her time for a reason.

LaLa ought to be shame but she might as well take her baby mama pull as far as it can go cause she cute but she’s got some crazy eyes and she gettin a bit long in the tooth. Mello gonna knock some other young chick up with his stupid self before long

      La La is NOT MARRIED yet and until then, she is his BABY MOMMA. Why would she entertain them allowing her to do something. Do you see Kim Porter out there??? LMAO

      She’s always been top heavy, and she’s always been built up with spare parts–LOL. I don’t know why she agreed to that bathing suit. The shoes must be too big or something, she can’t seem to keep her toes together. How you let your feet be on the ground, outside the shoe???

      I hate to say it but some of them HOD dresses are cute–will I buy one? NOPE!

      Yeah, Mama Tina definitely jacked some of the looks that have already been worn on the red carpet this year. I do like the jewel tones though. LaLa is a wifey (not quite his wife, but more than a girlfriend), but I’m not mad at SI for recognizing the wifeys too.

      La La shouldn’t have participated in such a mockery. Some folks don’t know when thye being made fun of. She has always been top heavy and always shaped like she was built up with spare parts. That bathing suit is not flattering at all. Why she can’t keep her toes together in them shoes? Are the too big or something? She look like she being coached on how to pose—BOOOOOO

      She know she is his baby mama–he hasn’t wifed her and don’t know if he ever will.

      Some of HOD dresses are cute, but will I buy one? Probably not. They too damn expensive for me.

      dani…i haven’t watched any interviews with her talking about her relationship. i havent put that much thought into their personal lives. and i am trying to remain mindful of what being with an NBA player is TRULY like (been there, done that and SO DAMN HAPPY I DIDN’T HAVE ANY KIDS BY HIM OR GET MARRIED!). them not being married yet may not be such a bad thing.
      at any rate…i like the pics. i’m not sure who else is in this issue. i just may pick it up out of sheer curiosity…to see if my successor made the cut. ;-) LMAO!!

      LaLa looks a mess. I really think she should let the weave go. I mean it is the same exact hair that was worn on each reunion show, and now a magazine shoot! Please retire it!
      /
      I thought she was pregnant? I thought I read that here. She’s a hot ass FREAKIN mess, so I really don’t care anyway.
      /
      Please assist her with those toes; Natasha can you please do a “pedicure give-away?” Or maybe offer a certificate to a podiatrist? something has to be done.
      /
      Also, Natasha, Please send her assistant info on modeling or posing coaching. I mean, the reality shows have just begun, the reunion shows won’t air for probably 2 more months, and her only other option is to appear in magazines, no matter how (1) ugly, (2) reject, and (3) irrelevant the “theme” is.
      /
      I had to take a second look. she is not THAT bad…she just should not model (pose), she should never bare those feet, she should not talk, even the voice is annoying. She should never be in front of a camera. Period. She should just go home and tend to the baby. I bet she is great at that!
      /
      Don’t worry about Dereon. They will soon get the hint. One question: Why the hell are THOSE “clothes” priced so high? I guess another one as well: Why are the shoes so ugly?
      /
      OBAMA: I love him! That man is BRILLIANT! I hope you all watched his V.I.C.T.O.R.Y! speech last night. He was in my home state of Wisconsin! I say he will get the nomination. He has about 30 more delegates to go. Keep voting! Natasha, you have done a great job of not only encouraging us to VOTE, but also keeping us all up-to-date on the happenings!

      ++++++++++++++

      Yeah ummm…she can let those other women wear that hot mess.
      Is it just me, or does House of Don’teverdothatshitagain look cheap in quality? I don’t know maybe its just me but those dresses look wack…I only spotted one that looked decent. And the colors…ugh…they look very fredricks of hollywood.

      On a more positive note…I don’t have a problem with Lala…she seems nice and never really came out her face wrong. I have to say that when she was preggers she looked more fab than when she wasn’t preggers. I heard baby boys do that to you. Anyways, we shouldn’t judge her because there are plenty of you women out there living in glass houses dealing with someone who won’t commit. Hell at least she has an engagement ring.

      Oh and ahhhhh….

      Why are y’all hatin on the HOD Spring 08 collection?! Looks fine to me. And, if you can’t afford ESCADA dresses, why not get the next best thing? Most of fashion is a knock of of the runway. Get smart. To the posers talking ish… Bey could by the real thing. Why not support her mother. I’d support my family. There are choices for all. Those dresses would flatter fuller figures. Most cuts would hide butts and guts. LOL

      LaLa looks great - normally she doesn’t. I think she’s attractive (annoying) but attractive. She has a nice figure even after the baby; and, she has great skin. Nice look. I’m sure they will airbrush. Its SI!

      —-But I agree it does seem like they are trying to expose who has the hotter wife….which is like HS on the real…

      dani…i haven’t watched any interviews with her talking about her relationship. i havent put that much thought into their personal lives. and i am trying to remain mindful of what being with an NBA player is TRULY like (been there, done that and SO DAMN HAPPY I DIDN’T HAVE ANY KIDS BY HIM OR GET MARRIED!). them not being married yet may not be such a bad thing.
      at any rate…i like the pics. i’m not sure who else is in this issue. i just may pick it up out of sheer curiosity…to see if my successor made the cut. ;-) LMAO!!

      ummm Dani?? i get it…you don’t like La La for whatever reason…it almost seems personal at this point with all your back-to-back posts trying to shoot down my comments but i digress. do you.
      i’m good…i’m sure La La and Carmelo are too.

      She isnt a wife!! She will be left w/a baby & this mag after dude leaves her…..Look at Kim Porter after she did the whole HipHop wives thing. I dont want to be recognize as someone’s wives who isnt claiming me as their wife OFFICIALLY

      —-THANK YOU…Kim did a show and mag promoting herself as “wife” that should be embarrassing all in its self to give yourself a title that your man hasn’t even offered you…
      —-Don’t be mad they put themselves in that predicament and seem to not mind…

      Ladies… I gotta agree with you on this one. How does SI select the “athlete wives”? I looked 3x and I didn’t see a ring on her finger indicating that they were married. Let’s rewind for a second… Wasn’t LaLa dating some guy years back during the same time she was dating Carmelo and they got into a fight in a club in NY (i think someone got spit on in the process). The next thing you know, they’re engaged and she starts rocking a huge ring on MTV. The producers of the show told her to take off the ring because she wasn’t portraying the “right image”. Then…she gets preggers, however the wedding was postponed because they wanted to “wait until after the baby comes” to get married (like they’re teenage parents who need to save for their nuptuals). And now she’s all up in SI as an “athlete wife” with no ring?? Now Carmelo….if you are “married” wouldn’t it be in better taste to have your wife in SI with you? Or better yet, not flashing her chi-chi on every newstand? All of this is in poor taste…Somebody needs to give LaLa another “Flava of Love” reunion to host!

      I agree about House of Dereon models. Why are there no chocolate women, or girls from the hood looking young women who are the actual people buying this hot mess.
      ++++++++++++++

      Yeah ummm…she can let those other women wear that hot mess.
      Is it just me, or does House of Don’teverdothatshitagain look cheap in quality? I don’t know maybe its just me but those dresses look wack…I only spotted one that looked decent. And the colors…ugh…they look very fredricks of hollywood.

      On a more positive note…I don’t have a problem with Lala…she seems nice and never really came out her face wrong. I have to say that when she was preggers she looked more fab than when she wasn’t preggers. I heard baby boys do that to you. Anyways, we shouldn’t judge her because there are plenty of you women out there living in glass houses dealing with someone who won’t commit. Hell at least she has an engagement ring.

      Oh and ahhhhh….
