Tyra donned her best wax figure look with her fresh crimped out lacefront and painted on makeup.   Model Beverly Johnson was there.  And she's still got it.   Chanel Iman looked fab even though chick looks like she'll break a leg stepping up on a curb.   More pics of the models and new music from Michelle when you read the rest...   Model Noemie Lenoir was there looking gorgeous. So was Selita.  Loving this whole look. Model Stacy McKenzie was there.   



Toccara was looking fab too. And a pic of all the models--including Jessica White.

All the models look FAB. Maybe that's why Tyra's trying so hard with all that hair and makeup. Notice when nobody's are on the show she looks relatively normal. I like Chanel Iman. Didn't want to at first for some reason, but I do :)

[quote comment="172679"]Growing up I heard so many excuses about our "bad hair", I thought something was wrong with me. Always taught that "good hair" was better, that you'd better rock a pan fried rusty ass looking piece with your hair pasted with "car grease" than go outside with that bad hair exposed. Black hair is the shit. I think its time to give ourselves a re-education.[/quote] I really thought I had bad hair! I saw all the mix girls get madd play!!!!!!!!!!!! don't have some baby hairs, it's over for the men on the block! I love my hair now! I can do so much with it! The secret to black hair is moisture! we need condition to our hair like it's going out of style. sleep with a silk pillow case, wash it bi weekly and watch it grow honey!

I'm so happy to read all

I'm so happy to read all these comments about sisters embracing their NATURAL REAL hair! I stopped killing my hair with chemicals 6 years ago and now I have the most beautiful locs! Hair used to be stressful for me growing up...and now...I can't stop touching it! Lol. I'm sounding like a commercial..but for real, I hope more black woman will stop allowing themselves to being brainwashed into ideas about what "good" hair is. Clean, HEALTHY hair IS good hair! God gave us this hair for a reason--it suits our faces!!! And P.S. Chanel Iman looks borderline anorexic :(. And this is coming from someone who's a size 4!

[quote comment="172776"]Thanks BMW for your tips on hair. However, since the beginning of time Black women, who ruled in Egypt and in Africa, have worn wigs. In Egyt Queens like Cleopatra and Nefertiti would shave off their real hair to wear the creations that was a symbol of power and being rich. Royalty were the only people to wear wigs back then. Reading is fundamental by the way...you might learn a thing or two, other than what Rhianna is doing what her hair, and what type of statement she is making for others to follow her and cut off their hair. Also, wearing a weave right require more time and money than taking care of your real hair. Not only that, you have to treat your hair even more!!! Which is a hassel onto its self, especially if you have hair. Also, Rhianna like any other entertainer, is just that. An entertainer. And trust me, when she put a new CD out, she will be looking for a new look to promote her CD...and don't be surprised if SHORT is not IN when she does. And that is Beverly Johnsons daugher Anansa. Peace.[/quote] The women in Egypt that wore wigs didn't do so cause they were conquered by Europeans. They (the Hierarcy) wore wigs because the were required to have clean heads (shaven due to initiation) and their wigs were styled like their hair texture meaning they were not trying to inmate anyone else. I have no "hate" for these sistahs, just wish that we didn't have the need to process themselves to inmate anyone else's standards of beauty...ya'll got it twisted. I'm so sorry I days late on this because there's alot of wrong infomation up in here!

All of the women big and small are fierce. Regarding Chanel, I seen a documentary on her and she's natrually skinny. I have a girlfriend who is like that, tall and thin and eats more than enough, but yet the only thing that gets big is her stomach and a few crunches takes care of that. I can't even hate on any of these women, they have all of the variety which demonstrates balck is beautiful in all shapes forms and colors. Oh yeah and must I add, the kicks these chicks are rocking are CRACK in a box. One last thing Iman is BEAUTIFUL. Glad to be who I am, I'll age gracefully as well. Work!!! !!!!

I can not find that issue of Vogue for the life of me. I want it for my babies when I have some. Hopefully by then these types of issue won't be so rare and there will be a dark skinned girl on the page somewhere, not African just dark. I am also geeked about the issues of Essence and Ebony featuring the Obamas. I'll be saving these for my babies too. I heart Tyra. She is crazy, but at least she is consistent.

In one end, its embrace your hair...then you have the people who love the straight look...okay, so they don't perm their hair, they decide to do a wig...then they still have to hear people talk ish about them? I am really trying to figure out what is the point to this? We have to many strong Black women, Oprah, Maya Angelo, Dorothy Height, Michelle Obama, who use a straightening comb, flat iron, weave, etc. but they are still BLACK AND STRONG and make more money and have more power than all of us sitting here talking about ish that is not really relavant. Can't a person, who is black, like their hair straight, without it being said they want to be white? And if they can't then why are so many black women going to dreds...could it be because that is the only way their hair will grow past their shoulders??? I had a stylist once told me, when I decided to go natural, that I would never get my length back, unless I grew dreds. I said I don't want dreds...6 years later, I have natural hair that comes to the middle of my back. She was shocked, and I was a little as well...however, when it is washed, it curls up so tight...and I get it blown out...and then a flat iron does the rest. I get more compliments than my counterparts who have dreds...from Black women, asian women, and white women. I love my hair and I love being Black, I love my hair striaght and I don't really care who likes it, and who doesn't.
