Talk that Talk

2012-01-24T17:55:00.000-05:00

Rihanna's fifth album "Talk that Talk" is a mixture of dance, pop, disco, & sex combined in one. She screams SEX all over this album and we love it!!! Her titled track "Talk that Talk" features Jay-Z and is a ultimate club/dance banger! One of the most explicit songs on the album is Cockiness: Love it, produced by Bangladesh. Rihanna is known for her unbelievable sexy body, raunchy dance moves, and game changing style. This Fashion Icon remains to be a fixation in the fashion industry as well as the music industry. How do you rate her album?

Nicki is scheduled to perform at the Superbowl and we think that her looks will definitely be even more over the top. Since her 2nd album will be titled "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded", her look for the Superbowl should be all pink:

Here Evelyn amongst other celebs turned up for Power 106 radio host Big Boy's "An XL Life" book release party at the Sayers Club in Hollywood.

Marlo Hampton And Derek J PARTY IT UP For MLK Weekend In The ATL

2012-01-15T16:21:00.008-05:00

Remember when on a recent episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta," newcomer Marlo attributed her "riches" to God...and even mentioned having her own Big Poppa sponsoring her lifestyle? Well she hit up the Gold Room in Atlanta the other night (looking fabulous we might add but yes, she still gets the side-eye) with her bestie Derek J. and a certain mystery man that was lingering by her side all night (the only man looking straight out of place). They held hands while leaving out.

She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:She changed out of her hot Valentino fur dress with a Chanel belt, earrings and Christian Louboutin pumps and into this black pencil skirt and gold cropped blouse before leaving out:

B's Top 8 BEST Preg-Fashion Looks..

2012-01-15T15:03:00.017-05:00

When a fashionable starlet announces her pregnancy, the first question on my mind is always as follows: HOW will they handle their rapidly increasing body size? (Maybe a more valid question is how will their stylist handle their rapidly increasing body size?!?)

Beyoncé's show-stopping performance at the MTV Video Music Awards back in August concluded with her opening up her jacket and rubbing her belly, signaling to millions of fans that she was indeed pregnant. That said, since the big news hit, Beyoncé's diva swag has not diminished whatsoever. In fact, it has only increased.

B was hitting the town in six-inch heels, glitter everything and chic dresses that most women couldn't wear even at their thinnest. Personally, I feel like she's dressing more and more like her character in the film Dreamgirls, but hey, that's just me. Our girl was taking chances and stepping out of her comfort zone, and she's not afraid to show off .

As we continue to congratulate the couple on their new bundle of joy,Blue Ivy Carter, lets just take a look back, at the gallery below for my favorite top 8 looks, and let me know what you think.

Nia Long & baby!

2012-01-14T15:41:00.006-05:00

Nia Long finally shows off her brand new baby son Kez Sunday Udoka(2 months). With a shiny new ring on her finger, I wander is she engaged to boyfriend and daddy Ime Udoka!! She is glowing and simply beautiful!

Tie me up!!!

The new and updated tie for ladies -jewelry that is! Love it! This piece features purple crystals and mesh. Style over a white collar shirt, skinny jeans and/or tights, and a fierce pump! Chic!!! YASSSS!!!

Satan!!...Really??

2012-01-11T23:22:00.003-05:00

By: Ratima

Ok, I’m as sick of the Beyonce baby stories as you are, but this is just crazy.

A church in North Carolina says it’s sign was hijacked by vandals who had a message for the world: Satan is here and Beyonce is her mama! Apparently, whoever tampered with the sign at the Beulah Hill Baptist Church buys into the theory that Beyonce is a devil worshiper, and her newborn baby is Satan.

Luckily, the church and its local residents aren’t one of them. They immediately took the sign down.While this theory that Bey and Jay worship the devil is nothing new, but it’s sad that some people have SO much time on their hands they want to slander a newborn.

Naomi's STILL doing the damn thing!!

2012-01-11T23:14:00.007-05:00

Über fashion model Naomi Campbell is as timeless as she is seamless. How is it fair that at almost 42 years old she is still as fierce as she was two decades ago?

Robert Cavalli's latest spring ad showcases the right mix of specimen that is pretty rare nowadays. Fresh off her Miu Miu 2010 ad debut, she will undoubtedly benefit from this immense exposure. It’s re-assuring to see Campbell maintain her FABULOUSNESS without any hint of her throwing in the towel. No matter how bright the other gals glitter, Campbell is still the brightest of them all!

Lip Service: How To Perfect Your Pout

2012-01-11T23:01:00.008-05:00

With the exception of the eyes, lips are probably the first thing you notice when you speak to somebody. That alone makes it very important to keep yours in prime condition. Is the cold air drying out your pout? Are your lips dull with flaky skin? Does your matte lipstick leave you looking gunky instead of gorgeous? Follow these three simple steps and make a luscious impression this season with smooth, soft, kissable lips!

Step 1- EXFOLIATE!I can’t stress this enough. Daily exfoliation is necessary, especially if you’re a lipstick loving Vixen. All those flakes of dead skin are doing absolutely nothing for your sexy. Get rid of them with a store bought lip scrub or make your own! Honey and brown sugar will do the trick, and they’re both super inexpensive.

Step 2- MOISTURIZE Put the lip gloss down. That is not what I’m talking about when I say “moisture.” Invest in a great lip balm–Carmex or plain old Chapstick both work just fine. Moisturize your lips at least 10 minutes before applying your lip color to allow time for the balm to fully absorb. This will give your lipstick something to adhere to for longer-lasting, smoother color.

Step 3- ADORN Now you can apply your favorite lipstick or gloss, and you’re good to go! Your lips should feel smooth and rejuvenated, and they should look pretty awesome, too! Oh, and remember to blow lots of kisses!

Estelle, Natural Beauty Knockout!!

2012-01-11T22:07:00.006-05:00

By: Ratima

Estelle is giving major face on the cover of her album, All of Me. Stunningly chiseled cheekbones, natural eyes and a muted mouth, for a 70s style cool look that reminds us that maybe basic isn’t always such a bad thing.

2012-01-08T22:23:00.003-05:00

The "Countdown" is finally over as Beyonce and Jay-z welcomed a baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter on Saturday! The couple reportedly spent $1.3 million on a private wing at the hospital and nearly $200,000 on extra security guards to guard the access doors to the wing. With that much security, this baby girl is definitely going to be a FIERCE DIVA!!! Watch out world baby Blue is here!!!

Kerry Washington is serving us face and body in this fun, floral Dolce and Gabbana frock! I wish she'd serve us another dress.

Lala Vazquez selects a star-spangled Dolce and Gabbana dress for the premier of ’Lala’s Full Court Life.’ I think I see the little dipper!

We just can’t get enough of Solange’s style, but sometimes someone should definitely tell her 'NO'. Here she’s wrapped in a modern tie-dye mini.

Tika Sumpter’s busy sequin bodycon is designed to resemble a blazer, with a shirt and tie. Hated it!

Reality Stars...Girl, Who BEAT your face ?!?

2012-01-07T20:59:00.013-05:00

Eva dazzled at the “HTC Status Social” Launch event in metallic bronze lipgloss and come-hither eyes outlined in white liner.

Kandi hit the red carpet at the Bravo Upfront Chicago event in a colorful eye makeup look complete with plum eyeshadow and navy blue lower eyeliner.

With her matte violet shadow, dazzling lashes and chic upsweep, LaLa looked every inch the superstar at the ESPY awards pre-party.

Shaunie sizzled at the Soul Train Awards in pale pink and silver eyeshadow paired with a bright rose lipgloss. Totally glam!

Lady Gaga bares it in L'Uomo Vogue magazine

2012-01-06T18:14:00.010-05:00

Lady Gaga is never short on shock value, as she bares all in the January 2012 "The Big Ones" cover issue of Italy's L'Uomo Vogue magazine.

The FAME Monster models a Yves Saint Laurent jacket, Chanel pants and a Philip Treacy hat in a spread by Inez and Vinoodh. She gives the photographers Edward Scissor Hand-esque chic, as she tears the jacket open in a very artistic manner.

Check out the spread below

Exclusive Beats: Beats by Oscar de la Renta

2012-01-06T17:58:00.004-05:00

Virtually everywhere you look, you’ll catch someone rocking a pair of Beats by Dre. But while the amazing sound quality of the headphones is undeniable, sexy they are not. There was nothing feminine about the highly coveted headphones, leaving Vixens stuck with over-sized, bulky ear accessories—at least until now.

Dr. Dre has teamed up with the world’s favorite Dominican designer to launch Beats by Oscar de la Renta. The headphones have the same technology as regular Beats by Dre but they come adorned in a standout shade of plum fur that’s perfect for the winter time.

At $695, the Beats are definitely a bit pricey, but when it comes to high-fashion and supreme quality technology can you really put a price on it?

A match any music loving fashionista would die for.

Limited Edition, Kardashian Barbies

2012-01-06T17:17:00.004-05:00

Reports are saying later in the year you may be able to have Kim, Kourtney, and Kloe in your own possession, but in plastic!

Looks like part of the Kardashian Klan have found another industry to profit from. If Nicki Minag and Katy Perry can do it, why can't they? Rumors are that the dolls would resemble them physically and be dressed in designs from their store, DASH. Mattel hasn't confirmed anything yet, but I'm sure we willm hear something soon.

If Kim's doll don't come with her whining and being overly dramatic, Kourtney's doll don't come with a Scott, and Kloe's doll isnt bossy I don't see the point of a Kardashian doll.

If the Kardashians do come out with limited-edition Barbies will you buy it for the little girls in your life?

The New Face of Dior!!

2012-01-05T19:33:00.007-05:00

“Black Swan” star Mila Kunis has been named a new face
of the French house, Christian Dior, and will appear in its spring fashion
campaign.
It is to debut in the U.S. in The New York Times on Jan. 29, followed by a
range of American monthlies, including Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar.
“Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress; she embodies the true modern
woman. Her performance in ‘Black Swan’ was remarkable. She is very gifted,”
said Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior, lauding Kunis’ youthful
energy. “We are looking forward to a long relationship with her.”
Kunis was one of the most bankable magazine cover stars in 2011, and she exudes
a smoldering chic — dressed mostly in black — in the new Dior spots, which
showcase the latest versions of the Miss Dior handbag.

Black Love

2012-01-01T15:45:00.001-05:00

One thing is for sure, LOVE was in the air this year and especially this holiday season. Many of your favorite celebs were struck by Cupid's arrow and they fell hard. Their love stories flooded the net and captivated headlines and our workplace conversations. Here's just a few that we're in love with...

Barack and Michelle Obama

Since day one the world has been captivated by the love the President and First Lady share. What a phenomenal duo!

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith

The true test of a pair’s love is how they handle adversity. When the rumor mill began to spin with news that their fourteen-year marriage was over, Will and Jada stood tall and by one another’s side; keeping their bond rock solid.

Beyonce and Jay-Z

Jay and Bey are having the best year ever. With a little one on the way, and individual hit albums selling off the shelves, hip hop’s First Couple is primed to become the First Family. We can’t wait to meet the little prince (or princess!).

Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and hot shot celeb attorney Phaedra Parks and her hubby Apollo Nida are an adorable couple focused on family, business, and love and we don’t see a thing wrong with that.

LaLa and Carmelo Anthony

The New York Knick star and his leading lady let us into their lives this year on their reality show “LaLa’s Full Court Life” and the first thing we noticed was the love. Melo’s gaga for LaLa.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade

Both started 2012 off right at the Remy V New Years Eve dinner at Vesper American Brasserie in Miami, Florida.

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson also attended the Remy V New Years Eve dinner at Vesper American Brasserie in Miami, Florida. After an 8+ year relationship, 2 kids, and 2 basketball teams, Lebron finally proposes and of course she said YES!!

NYE-Roundup

2012-01-01T15:14:00.002-05:00

New Years Eve is the one night each year where everyone and their mother is out partying.
And of course, celebs are no different. They even get paid serious dough to show their face at some of the hottest spots across the country. The Kardashians took over Las Vegas as they tended to their respective hosting duties. Diddy took over Miami with his CIROC The New Year 2012 suaree at his private estate on the infamous Star Island where Rihanna helped him ring in the new year. Plus much more...

Kim Porter donned a hot white and silver gown for the occasion. And kicked it with ATL Housewife NeNe Leakes.

Sidenote **And since Kim had Diddy for the night, we guess that's why Cassie wasn't in attendance even though the rest of Bad Boy was. But that didn't stop Mr. Combs from tweeting his New Year's wishes to her:

@officialcas happy new year baby girl!!!!! :) 2012

The last thing we heard from Cassie was her tweeting about how complicated love is. Go figure.

Ladies don't be caught Red handed with the WRONG Red Lipstick for New Years!! Here is a simple guide of how to wear red lipstick the PROPER way!!!!

How to wear Red Lipstick!

By Julyne Derrick,About.com Guide

Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest ofyour face The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. Golight on the eyes and the blush, otherwise you'll risk looking like a clown(Cameron Diaz made this fatal mistake at the2007 Golden Globes). Skip eyeliner and go onlyfor mascara (black forbrunettes, brown for blondes and redheads), making sure to apply to bottomlashes (it opens up your eyes). Dust face with powder and cheeks with a soft blush.

Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill inlips with lip liner first, suggests makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff in Harper'sBazaar.

Rule No. 3: Pick the right color If your complexion is pink, you'll lookbetter in plum shades, while girls with yellow tones are flattered by warmerreds that have a brown base, according to celebrity makeup artist Jemma Kidd inHarper's.

Rule No. 4: Don't let nails clash We prefer non-red nail polish when you'regoing red on the lips. A clear polish or light color is cool, and dark polishis a trend that shows no sign of going away anytime soon. If you want to go redon the nails, make sure the color matches your lips.

Rule No. 5: Blending is in Few makeup artists stick to one shade ofany lipstick, they tend to blend a few to create the perfect colors. If you'vebought a red lipstick shade that's too bright, dark or whatever, don't throw itaway. Instead, experiment with other lipstick shades you have on hand to createthe perfect shade of red.
Check out pages and pages of red lipstickfrom high-end brands like Chanel to the good-but-cheaper brands such as Revlonand Cover Girl.

Rule No. 6: Choose lighter shades if you are older
Our lips thin as we age and dark lips can accentuate them. To keep lipsfrom looking too severe, try a rosy red or avoid red lips altogether and optfor a neutral shade, playing up your eyes instead.

TEN RULES OF STYLE BY RICK OWENS

2011-12-27T10:25:00.001-05:00

01.  I'M NOT GOOD AT SUBTLETY. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE DISCREET AND QUIET, THEN JUST GO ALL THE WAY AND HAVE THE BALLS TO SHAVE OFF YOUR EYEBROWS, BLEACH YOUR HAIR, AND PUT ON SOME BIG BRACELETS.

02.  WORKING OUT IS MODERN COUTURE. NO OUTFIT IS GOING TO MAKE YOU LOOK OR FEEL AS GOOD AS HAVING A FIT BODY. BUY LESS CLOTHING AND GO TO THE GYM INSTEAD.

03.  I'VE LIVED IN PARIS FOR SIX YEARS, AND I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT THE UGLY AMERICAN SYNDROME STILL EXISTS. SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO SAY "STOP DESTROYING THE LANDSCAPE WITH YOUR OUTFIT." STILL, FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, I'M TEMPTED TO REDO THE FANNY PACK. I LOOK AT IT AS A CHALLENGE—IT'S SOMETHING TO REACT AGAINST.

04.  WHEN A SUIT GETS MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD IT KIND OF LOSES ME—IT HAS TO BE SHARP AND CLASSIC AND ALMOST FORTIES.

05.  HAIR AND SHOES SAY IT ALL. EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN IS FORGIVABLE AS LONG AS YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE. TRYING TO TALK WITH YOUR CLOTHES IS PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE.

06.  THERE'S SOMETHING A LITTLE TOO CHATTERBOXY ABOUT COLOR. RIGHT NOW I WANT BLACK, FOR ITS SHARPNESS AND PUNCTUATION.

07.  JEAN-MICHEL FRANK, THE THIRTIES INTERIOR AND FURNITURE DESIGNER, SUPPOSEDLY HAD 40 IDENTICAL DOUBLE-BREASTED GRAY FLANNEL SUITS. HE KNEW HIMSELF AND IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF RESTRAINT AND EXTRAVAGANCE.

08.  I HATE RINGS AND BRACELETS ON MEN. I'M NOT A FAN OF MAN BAGS, OR GIRL BAGS EITHER—OR EVEN SUNGLASSES. I DON'T LIKE FUSSY ACCESSORIES. ISN'T IT MORE CHIC TO BE FREE? EVERY JACKET I MAKE HAS INTERIOR POCKETS BIG ENOUGH TO STORE A BOOK AND A SANDWICH AND A PASSPORT.

09.  WITH LAYERING, SOMETIMES THE MORE THE BETTER. WHEN YOU LAYER A LOT OF BLACK YOU'RE LIKE A WALKING LOUISE NEVELSON SCULPTURE, AND THAT'S PRETTY ATTRACTIVE. ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE VULNERABLE IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO.

10.  IT'S FUNNY—WHENEVER SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT RULES, I JUST WANT TO BREAK THEM. I RECOIL FROM THE WHOLE IDEA OF RULES.

The Duchess of Cambridge: Kate Middleton

2011-12-21T13:30:00.000-05:00

By METRO WEB REPORTER, Amy Duncan

The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William were among the famous faces presenting awards to members of the British forces at the Imperial War Museum in London on Monday night.
While Kate turned heads in a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress, Prince William and Prince Harry added equal amounts of style looking dapper in matching black suits.

Kate laughs away with Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry (Picture: Getty)

But there was another talking point around Kate's dress as besides it showing off her slender figure, it also showed off her toned muscles suggesting she has been busy working out.
Kate accessorised her frock, concocted by the same designer who created her wedding dress, with a diamond necklace and matching bracelet and earrings which she received as a wedding gift.
The 29-year-old may have been on hand to add a touch of regal glamour to the night, but that wasn't the chosen theme for all of the guests as ex TOWIE star Amy Childs proved when she turned up in what looked to be a vajazzled dress.

2011... Year of the Cropped Top

Celebrities such as Rihanna and Ciara were among many others who were spotted wearing cropped t-shirts this summer. They made these tops look so great to wear. I got curious to see how I looked wearing these, so I shopped for a few. Of course I didn’t look exactly like them, but the comfort made me enjoy wearing them.

Here are a few that I really LUV'd...

IM FALLING IN LOVE WITH RACHEL ZOE

2011-12-21T12:00:00.000-05:00

The seventies are Rachel Zoe's decade. She's practically synonymous with flaring pants and caftans. But it's the sixties she's thinking about for pre-fall; it was the era's mod minidresses and Jackie Kennedy-style ensemble dressing (the rose gold brocade coat matches the sleeveless top matches the cropped pants) that gave this collection its newness.

Outerwear is a growth business for the label, and at the moment Zoe is particularly into a neat and trim red peacoat. "I was obsessed with finding the perfect shade of red," she said at her Broadway showroom. "As a blonde, you have to make sure it's right." Cameron Diaz, her platinum-haired star client, will no doubt thank her for her efforts. Come to think of it, auburn Anne Hathaway might like it, too.

The ideal shade of red isn't Zoe's only obsession. Fabrics count for a lot here. The faux fur feels just about as real as faux can. And the black and white crocodile-print silk jersey has a swishy feel. Zoe girls concerned that she completely left the seventies behind needn't worry. That faux fur trims a very vintage-looking fitted leather jacket, and she cut the croc-print jersey into an era-accurate backless halter gown.

Dutch Magazine Editor RESIGNS After Global Backlash For "NGGABTCH" Term!

2011-12-21T01:09:00.000-05:00

The chief editor of the now infamous Jackie magazine, which made headlines yesterday after an article titled "N*GGAB*TCH" ran in its most recent issue, has resigned.

We've got the Dutch editor's statement and details inside....
Eva Hoeke (pictured above), EIC of Dutch magazine Jackie for the past 8 years, came under enormous fire yesterday when she half-heartedly apologized for her "N*GGAB*TCH" article which reference Rihanna and generalized black women. While she said it was written in a joking way, the black community in the Netherlands, and many all over the world, were still outraged.

Rihanna responded in the most ladylike way possible to Eva's article which talked about Rih's "ghetto ass" and porn heels. The article also called the "We Found Love" singer the "ultimate n*gger b*tch"...as if it were a compliment.
A Dutch news site reports today that Hoeke has walked away from her position as a result of the "commotion" caused by the article. And Eva says she was maybe too quick to offer up her reasoning for publishing the term.
Her statement loosely translated into English: {UPDATED with better translation}

"I realize that my initial reaction on Twitter, where I stated that it was a joke, was an incomplete description of what I, and also the author of the article meant. The term has come over from America and I thought it would be suitable to describe a particular style of dressing. Due to the enormous pressure from social media, I promised to do better regarding our language use in future issues of Jackie as well as rectifying the situation.
I have now come to the conclusion that rectification is not the proper solution. I regret that I expressed my opion too quickly without carefully thinking things through. I, along with the publisher came to the conclusion that it’s better for all parties if I immediately lay down my duties as editor now that my credibility has been affected negatively. After eight years of dedicating myself with my heart and soul to Jackie, I realize that these errors – although without any bad intentions – are a reason for leaving. “

2011-12-20T11:21:00.000-05:00

"Glee" (Tues., 8 p.m. ET on Fox) has had it's fair share of big names, from Tony winners like Idina Menzel to Oscar winners like Gwyneth Paltrow to pop icon Britney Spears. But for the first time, a reality star will grace the halls of William McKinley High School.
Lea Michele and Chris Colfer appeared on the "Glee Season Finaleglee" of "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen on Monday night. The two "Glee" stars and "Real Housewives" fans revealed that "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and "Celebrity Apprentice" star Nene Leakes will be making a guest appearance on their Emmy-winning dramedy.
"We found out that her real name was Linnethia... which I am obsessed with now," Michele said excitedly. "She's awesome. She plays the new swim coach... We literally raided her trailer."
Colfer added that Leakes's character will be named Roz Washington. Roz will presumably be leading Sam's synchronized swim team. Chord Overstreet, who plays Sam, told AOL TV earlier this month that he expects some poolside musical numbers, but there's no word on whether or not Leakes will lend her voice to them. "Synchronized swimming is probably more of a sport that you'd get made fun of for," Overstreet said.
Rumors had been swirling for a few days that Leakes would make a "Glee" cameo and the word is she will be on both the "Grease"- themed episode and the highly-anticipated Michael Jackson episode in January.
"Glee" returns to Fox at 8 p.m. ET on Jan. 17 with "Yes/No."

The shoot, which actually took place in downtown L.A. (Paula's also originally from L.A.), features gorgeous clothes and jewels by Cavalli, YSL, Jason Wu, and more.

Here's the interview highlights. And you can blow up the pics above to read the interview in full:

On how her 1-year-old son Julian has changed her life
My son has been like a good luck charm, he brought great things with his birth and his live has given me strength to power through the difficult days.

On her fave designers
My favorite designers right now are probably Dolce & Gabbana first and foremost, I love the femininity of their clothes. They'll go a bit retro but give you enough modern elements that make it new and free. I'm a big fan of Lanvin, and for evening gowns, Carolina Herrera and I love McQueen.

On keeping her body in a state of chiseled perfection
I'd be lying to say that as an actor it's not a difficult thing--especially as a woman--to maintain a weight that….You're always watching what you're eating. I'm not going to lie.
Sometimes I do yoga, sometimes it's kickboxing, sometimes it's weight training, sometimes it's pilates. Basically still trying to keep the muscles there, so that when the next role comes it won't feel quite as difficult. I don't want to have to go through that first month again.

On her fascination with astrology
I don't know a lot but I feel like astrology gives you more compassion for everybody. Like I definitely suffer from putting my foot in my mouth, which is a very Sagittarian thing to do. So from that I was like, okay let me slow down, think before I talk.

On her fandom of President Obama
Of course….a huge supporter of Obama. He is doing a great job under much stress. I thin he will come to be known as one of the great American presidents.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL ALL-STAR'S

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL ALL-STAR

The finale did a great job of wrapping up loose threads from the cycle. “Pot Ledom,” the forgotten Michael Cinco dresses and the dreaded CoverGirl commercials all made an appearance in the action-packed episode.

Angelea, Allison and Lisa all flubbed the CoverGirl commercials in their own special way. Of course, the spots are infamous, but the girls so far have been rocking live shoots this season, so my expecations were higher.

Allison at first got a distinct advantage for the CoverGirl beauty shot with her stunning eyes, but struggled when they put her in the sun. Lisa’s shoot was actually sultry and stunning without being wild. Angelea struggled the most; her bone structure is unparalleled but her eyes weren’t showcasing the product.

It wouldn’t be Top Model without a dramatic surprise finale photoshoot, of course. Gorgeous Greek setting, sexy swimwear, and Vogue Italia? No pressure indeed. Allison looked the most editorial and graceful in her white bathing suit, far outshining Lisa, who came across rather trashy in her photooshoot.

In keeping with the water theme, the finale runway was chock full of crazy moments:

The models had to swim.
They had to “rise” out of the water like Aphrodite to signify their “birth as models.”
They wore wings and harnesses.
Pot ledom... ledom... ledom...
We finally saw the individualized Michael Cinco dresses.

Although everything else seemed a bit gimmicky, I really enjoyed finally seeing the dresses that the girls designed; they were so beautiful, individual and fitting for each of the models.

Meanwhile: Surprise! The judging was set in Los Angeles. Didn’t it seem as though the finale was all over the place? It was an unusually hectic ANTM episode, with more photoshoots and longer runway than usual.

After Angelea’s shocking elimination, which came as a surprise for Lisa and Allison as well, I was sure that Allison had even more of an advantage. I never thought Lisa would get as far as she already had.

Unfortunately, Lisa was climbing up the scoreboard with her commercial, gorgeous CoverGirl shot and the runway. I knew Allison couldn’t win over the judges in the runway category but she was a much stronger swimmer and was quite bubbly during panel.

I think what may have sealed her fate was Lisa’s surprisingly classy, yet sultry, CoverGirl shoot. I’m really surprised and disappointed that Allison didn’t win All-Stars. I expected anyone as wonderful and quirky as Allison was a total shoo-in to be the champion! I can’t see Lisa as a proper ANTM ambassador either, but maybe I’m wrong.

SHOULD LISA HAVE WON?
