Welcome To The Party Life
YBF chicks hit up The Michael Awards last night in NYC:

Nia Long is still killin’ it.


And Viv Fox was spotted onthe carpet with Miss USA Crystle Stewart. I’m loving the less plastic look Viv.
More pics when you read the rest…


Viv and Keshawn Johnson looked nice on the carpet.

So did Miss Stewart.

If it would have been anybody else I would have a problem with this dress. But something about this chick lets her pull off damn near anything.
Mary J hosted the Heart of the City Wrap Up party last night at Spotlight live in NY:

Mary was absolutely fabulous in concert last night. More on that later.

Stephen Hill was there.



Trina was there spending some QT with Ed Lover.


Valeisha Butterfield and Terrence J were spotted at the party.



Mary and her hubby Kendu kicked back in VIP.

And she looked white hot.
Also in NY last night, Paula Patton was spotted at the Allure party for Allure’s most alluring bodies:




Loves the look.

And what in the Moses Sandal hell does Mary J have on her feet???? Also, I really know I’m going to get it but that dress makes Nia looks like she has side/back fat. Look at the sides. Is it supposed to look that way? No matter what though she is still gorgeous.
Everyone looked nice though. YAY!

I wonder who’s hiding from the camera with the back tattoo!! In the pic. under Terrance J. The pic with Mary, a man & woman

So I love Nia’s look… simply stunning –as always. Aunt Viv doesn’t look bad, I heart Mary because no matter how you dress her, what wig she has on she is still –Mary!!! Fabulous at all times…
On the other hand… Trina. Trina. Trina. I am really on the fence… part of me wants to say she looks nice, the other part of me wants to say that she looks a hot ass mess…
I love Paula P… I am not sure how I feel about her hair…

Nia long looks FAB that young man she with is really make her glow. Happy for yah.
Vivica this is the look i love and remember. you finally exed that video chick lookin style and went for one more sophisticated and classy. even your make up is 1 step to flawless. gotta give you kudo’s for that.
Mary shoes are hideous kind of reminds me of the shoes from zina the warrior princess and i hope thats not the style these days cuz ive been seein everyone in them. mary to fab for that. and celebrity or no celebrity its not ok to wear stunner shades inside a party or when its dark.not cute at all.
love this coverred up classier side of Trina. i could have picked another dress but she’s come along way and you ost the lace front and for that you receive an applause
paula P looks fab
still think they could have picked a better miss u.s.a. she could have tried out a million times still she shouldnt have made it. i seen them other girls that tried and they was way prettier. they played the pity card on that one.to fake barbish lookin. see so many reuglar people on the sreet that could have represented us better than her. but cant hate she is and will be for a while miss u.s.a.
That terrence is growin on me everyday. secretly think he a cutie patutie

Everyone looks great. I am glad to see Vivica dressing her age. She looks fabulous.

I can’t believe Vivica spent all that money on breast and plastic surgery and didn’t get a rose to cover that ghetto azz tat!
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Viv is looking old…wasn’t feeling her look at all, the top of that dress made her look top heavy, she had in A LOT of make up on, and her, don’t likey.
Miss USA is too skinny…Mary’s looking at little thin as well.

Trina’s feet look horrible in those shoes!!!
Viv didn’t look quite right, Nis Long’s dress makes her look like she has love handles, and Mary looks cute in all white!!!
Paula Patton is beautiful as usual, I hate to hear about her baby, thats a hard loss!!!
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I am confused on Trina……Minus Viv and MJB one piece white gaucho MC Hammer pants fit everyone else looks really nice.
I love me some MJB but this fit is real off and she looks like she has lost even more weight
I like the curves on MJB..

Nia can pull the look off because she know how to wear her clothes as oppose to it being the other way around.
Keyshawn Johnson is random.
Vivica looks aight.
Paula looks ok…I’ve seen her look better.
Trina looks different.
Not feeling anything about Mary’s look.

OMG Viv and Ms USA are like sisters in plastic although I hand it to Viv, she is looking better than usual.
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Yes Trina! Finally we’ve reached a happy medium. Not to hood, and not to out of your element. Hmm, MJB…maybe her feet hurt and she was trying to be comfy after the show? Just a thought. But before anyone “says” anything, I am NOT saying the shoes are right, I’m just offering a suggestion. Everyone looks nice, but I see that everyone was kind of low key, no true wow factors. But I guess it’s hard to be 100% “on it” all of the time.

Nia looks fab per usual!!! Trina is begining to look more lady like so unlike “the baddest itch” that came out years ago. I applaud her growth. Mary was a little shaky but we’ll just chalk it up to all those great performances. Paula Patton beside Idlewild what has she done? And honestly it’s time to put Viv into ghetto diva retirement.

Nia looks fab. that young man she got is makin her glow. ever give kudo’s to vivica she looks lovely classy and real compared to that video chick lookin style and all that make up she been wearin. she even put back on her weight and it looks real good on her too.

Trina looks great! Good Job Diamond Princess
Nia looks nice but the red dresses Alicia Keys and Nina Anoke Rose wore were better versions of this look. Everyone else looks pretty much how they always do.

love nia, but she’s about a breath away from side-busting out that dress…looks nice, but a few crunches would have done her better…
viv is looking good…stay away from the plastic, viv..
miss USA is beautiful..did you see viv trying to pose on her???
mary. love her like a true fan does, but uh..them wigs ain’t holding up so well anymore, dahlin..
and trina actually looks nice and we gone hope she rolls on this wind for a while - the black barbie Tramp doll was not a good look for her..
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I think Nia looks wonderful. Not feeling Viv’s look at all, although she does look more normal. A different hairstyle and dress would have been nice. Mary looks a mess. I am not sure what I think about Trina. She looks better I guess. Paula looks great.
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Please help me understand why people are so negative towards Vivica? If she was dressed like a hoochie people would say she needs to dress her age. I don’t find her dress to be that bad and lord help her because she has put on weight. She still looks good to be in her forties (I know some of it is due to surgery). Lastly, at least her tattoo is small and can be covered. I could see people having something to say if it was this huge tattoo covering up half her arm. How many people do you know that get their tattoos covered up when they get older. Hardly any unless it’s someones name that they are no longer with. Cut Aunt Viv some slack people!
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I’m not feeling Nia’s dress. The top makes her looks like she has love handles, her makeup looks great though. Vivica is wearing that damn FUNERAL HOME makeup, looking all old. Miss USA is ugly. Mary J’s wig is horrid.
On May 8, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Vivica just always looks a complete mess! It don’t matter what she do….. she just looks soo hood and hard!! Somebody need to get her a new hair stylist and tell her to change he hair color cause it looks a mess!!! Why would she waer that BRAID and that Bang like that??? I’m soo confused!!!

I personally like Viv. She looks muted in these photos. I would like to see some more pop and color. She’s got the looks, smile, attitude and body.

Everyone looks a hot mess on this page.
-Nia Long’s dress doesnt fit right at the top its got bubbles on the side. It makes her look fat
-Vivica’s hair the top of her dress that ugly belt and that kindergarten tatoo are all just a mess.
-Mary J and her husband both look like sweaty wildabeasts-not a good look Mary!
-Trina aint got a shape no more she is shrinkin then her legs look all spotted and blotted,
-Paula is a pretty girl I dont know why she chose that unflattering outfit and those shoes.
-Miss USA probably is the best dressed on this page SORRY!

Mary ALWAYS has a pack of Dentyne Ice in her hand on almost every pic you post. Trina’s dress looks like vintage 1992. Me no Likey.

Nia always looks pretty without trying so hard
Vivica looks nice and classy
Miss USA has a pretty smile
MJB loks like she’s glad this is the wrap up party
Trina looks better than usual
Ms. Butterfield is very pretty
Terrance looks like he doesn’t belong there; he gets on my nerves with his corny personality.
Paula always looks effortlessly beautiful
There’s my two cents fellow YBF-ians. Peace-n-love

well speaking for myself my biggest beef w/her is all the plastic surgery she got-i think i could forgive the wack tat and her sometimes bad wardrobe decisions, the diva tude she kind puts off, if she didn’t look such a mess. I think Lil Kim’s popularity would have faired better if she hadn’t gone under the knife…MJ, I could go on and on about how f*cked up surgery on black folks can turn people off, it’s like you loose people’s respect AND look a mess.

Viv does look drag queenish, I wish that she would have left her body alone with all of that plastic surgery, she was a great looking woman before she had the work done. Trina doesn’t look the same either and not for the better.

I understand why “SOME” black people cant get head, because most are on blogsites gossiping about nothing that well uplift there culture or race.
I really thought I would see people talking about how they are going to spend their Stimulus Economic Refund Check. But it’s interesting to see what people are talking about on here, I have something to talk about with my African American co-worker.
