Hollywood. It’s one interesting place. It’s the realm of the Golden Era of film; yet a landfill of unkind and sad mistreatment. The same home of glitz and glamour that had separate entrances and regulations for black actors and actresses. While some got to portray queens and ladies of leisure; others were unfortunately only in “heart-warming” stories of slaves, housemaids and hard up entertainers.

However, the industry has made some strides. Black actors and actresses have been able to be the Queens, heroes and intellectual (hi Hidden Figures) role models in various film roles. Yet, there is still more that can be done. Some of these roles are still far and in-between of what they can be. Representation is important for all; it’s what helps build confidence and inspiration in others.

 

 

In Porter Magazine, actress Laura Harrier dives into this subject matter. Regarding their story with Harrier, Porter Magazine states,

“From Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning ‘BlackKklansman’ to Ryan Murphy’s star-studded new show Hollywood; actor Laura Harrier is carving out an impressive career. She talks to Porter about swapping red carpets for Zoom calls. The strength in community; and the importance of representation in front of and behind the camera.

[Head online] to read the interview and see more from the story. Shot by Sonia Szostak and styled by Danielle Goldberg.”

As one can see, there is much to be learned from those in the “trenches” of Hollywood. Hopefully, open discussion such as this one between Harrier and Porter will help change the movie and television status quo.

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose

Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel

Got bag? We spied with with our couture eye; the Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel. A smaller masterpiece, but full of alluring style and detailing. How so?

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose

One thing that we absolutely love about this accessory, is it’s versatility. While some bags can only function one way; this particular design gives the wearer multiple options! Think various strap lengths as well as a plethora of styling finishes. Ranging from cross body to over the shoulder.

The Alexander McQueen label describes it’s hit handbag as follows:

“Jewelled satchel in dark-rose smooth calf leather. Features a gold finished four ring adornment encrusted with Swarowski crystals. Inside, the bag [contains] a black suede-effect lining, two main compartments and a zip pocket.

[Also] it has an adjustable leather and gold metal chain crossbody strap; which features 5 holes for different adjustable lengths. Bag can be worn multiple ways:

  • Hand held using the ring handle.
  • Hand held by doubling up the straps.
  • Alternatively, wear over the shoulder.
  • Wear cross body using the leather and chain straps.

[Furthermore] the Jewelled Satchel comes with brass hardware with an antique gold finish. The bag can accommodate most smartphones.”

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose -Closing Remarks

Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel

Not feeling the Dark-Rose tone? Well, the great thing about Alexander McQueen is that usually there are other delicious hues available. For this stunning bag you can also purchase it in classic black. Black never really goes out of trend; therefore, you will have a fab bag that will stand the test of fashion time.

Nevertheless, there is still one aspect of the Jewelled Satchel that we have not touched yet. The price. This satchel retails for 1,690 Euros or $2,190.

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show

Are you a huge Nicki Minaj fan? Well, today your queen shall be gracing your television. Catch Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show today to see her in all of her fabulousness and holding a giant butt check (we will explain that). Nevertheless, if you can’t get to a TV in time we have a quick recap of what is all going down. Here’s our warning now, especially all of you on the west coast: expect spoilers!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Okay, so remember when Nicki was on Twitter paying tuitions? A very kind gesture that helped out a ton of hard-working students. Well it looks like Nicki is still inspired by her previous act of paying it forward.

On The Ellen Show Nicki Minaj continued sharing her generosity. Ellen via social media talked all about this stating,

“Did you see The Ellen Show today? So grateful for the donation she made via Shutterfly for more kids to go to college! 25 thousand dollars! Love her!

Nicki told me she wants to start a foundation to help pay for kids’ tuition. I can get behind that.”

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show

Isn’t all of this great ladies?! 2017 is proving to be the year of helping young people build confidence and succeed. From black women like Octavia Spencer buying out theaters so that youths and individuals in black communities could take in the inspiring story of Hidden Figures. To Beyonce starting a scholarship program. Stars are giving back today in order to help shape a better tomorrow. Thank you Nicki for your kindness and we hope to see this trend continue in the future!

Fashion Notes: Minaj is always looking like a high-end designer’s muse. Today she rocked a corset as well as jacket by Alexander McQueen. Vintage skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier and some bad muh- (shut yo mouth!) heels by Tom Ford.

Gladiator High Heels : Nicki Minaj Killing it in Philipp Plein SS17 Collection

Gladiator High Heels

What beef? Nicki Minaj dropped new music, won a fashion award and is showcasing her fierce sense of style. We always love Nicki’s risk-taker diva looks and one recent ensemble is beyond fire! Have you seen Minaj’s gladiator high heels from the Philipp Plein 2017 Summer collection? We just want to snatch them off like a wig and toss them into our closets ASAP.

Gladiator High Heels : Nicki Minaj Killing it in Philipp Plein SS17 Collection

Oh yeah, did we mention Nicki is also officially a model too now? Therefore, it all totally makes sense as to why Minaj is so beloved by major designers like Philipp Plein. Furthermore, on the heels (no pun intended) of picking up Daily Front Row’s Fashion Rebel Award, Nicki rocks an outfit that shows why she is worthy of such honor.

Minaj worked it like rent is due in a gown by Charbel Zoe with hand piece accessories by Alexander McQueen. Moreover, she incorporated an elegant pair of NSR Earrings by Nina Runsdord. Every piece harmonized amazingly with her high-end heels. Nicki looked like a glamorous warrior princess ready to takeover fashion and expand her dominion.

Gladiator High Heels

Nicki was certainly feeling herself and her fab look. She hit up social posting pics and stating, “Another day, and another slay… I usually [hate] the paparazzi, but whoever took this one may have just changed all that.” Hilarious and girl that paparazzi caught a fashion moment that will go down in slay history. Nevertheless, what are your fashionable thoughts? Are you feeling the Philipp Plein Gladiator High Heels?
