Posted on 26/03/2009 by aulelia

Absolutely stunning/beautiful/gorgeous/insert adjective here. I heard she is a singer, but I am not familiar with her material. With a face like that though, the men will be knocking. She has a beautiful look!

She is beautiful. She has a very couture-esque look about her. She also shares the cover of the new ESSENCE mag with Serena & Iman. Expect lots of magazine scans this week, Charcoalies just for you!

This is the only Vogue Italia shot I don’t like. Again, blonde hair on black women never looks good to me, Mary or no Mary, Bee or no Bee. The dress is hot though. Continue reading →

Beyoncé in EBONY Magazine!

Posted on 26/02/2009 by aulelia

Thank you so much Beyoncé World. Without you, the fans wouldn’t have a safe space to talk about Bee and discuss gorgeous photographs like this! And of course, hateful cows like Sandra Rose need Bee to up their hits. This image is not mine, I found it on the amazing form that is Beyoncé World. Please link back to the forum if you want to share the picture though.

Our B looks beautiful. She’s a star!

Black Girls in Magazines: Naomi Campbell in Mixte

Posted on 31/12/2008 by aulelia

I saw this in Borders the other day but I don’t have a scanner anymore. However, I spotted the images @ StyleFrizz.

Naomi Campbell is a car-crash but her face is just a canvas that makes any look come alive with charm and appeal. Look at the 3rd photograph; it’s like they have taken the Beefeater concept and transformed into this chic, sexy woman. Just gorgeous.

Naomi looks stunning as usual. I just still feel like her career could have transcended magazine covers you know? It just proves for every Naomi, there is a Tyra Banks whose career has stormed out of this world. Naomi could have done the same but…we all know how it has ended.
