In the campaign singer and entertainer, Teyana Taylor, poses in plastic couture reminiscent of the decade that was the 90s. Remember transparent bags and Diddy as well as Ma$e dancing in plastic joggers (if not; Google it’s fab)? Well, that is coming back with fervor yet with a bit of a modern twist.

“Today is the 20th anniversary of Why Do Fools Fall In Love! Sometimes you work on a movie, and sometimes that movie introduces you to someone that makes you a better person for it. Larenz Tate? You’ll ALWAYS be my Too Fine Tuesady – thank you for being the ultimate Ride or Die!

So much love to my sister wives Lela Rochon and Vivica A. Fox – for the record, y’all? I’m Mrs. Frankie Lymon!”

-Halle Berry

-Larenz Tate

“WOWZERS! Can’t believe its been 20 years ago that our classic film, Why Do Fools Fall In Love came out! What an amazing cast of Larenz Tate, Lela Rochon, and Halle Berry. This scene I had with FAB Halle Berry had no dialogue but said EVERYTHING!

-Vivica A. Fox

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

ArianneUpdated on August 28, 2018August 28, 2018

The Item: Athlete and fashion designer, Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Couture Ensemble. Serena fashionably made waves on the court during her match with Magda Linette.

You Asked: I have been so upset ever since I heard about the whole cat suit ban thing. I think it is awful that they still will not just let Serena be. So of course I was curious to see what she might wear. Happy she is winning and her outfit is very cool. Can you please tell me who is the designer of it?

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

The Verdict: Thank you for your message and we can completely understand your frustration over the black bodysuit. Which actually was designed to help prevent blood clots, a situation that almost killed her after giving birth to her daughter. Nevertheless, Nike and Off White came together in order to create another iconic look for the tennis superstar.

In a collaborative effort, Nike and Off White designed a ballet asymmetrical ballet dress, leather jacket as well as a matching AKA QUEEN tennis bag. That bag is already getting tons of hits alone. Once and if these two brands decide to release it to the public for purchase we are sure it will sell out in record fashion.

Vivian Green Releases Vibes Music Video Directed by Derek Blanks

Arianne Suggs August 28, 2018August 28, 2018

New music. New visuals. Yet, same amazing vocals! Velvety smooth artist, Vivian Green Releases Vibes Music Video and we are here for it all!

Longevity relies on progression. A lasting catalog evolves with its creator, growing, changing, and expanding in tandem to the artist. Once again, platinum-selling and critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Vivian Green; continues to progress six albums into her illustrious career on the aptly titled, VGVI (Make Noise/Caroline)—pronounced “vee-gee-six.”

Driven by the show-stopping voice that enchanted millions upon her emergence with 2002’s gold-certified debut A Love Story. The record sees the songstress tread new territory yet again. Vivian presents a strikingly kaleidoscopic about face with her remarkable sixth album. Helmed by multiplatinum producer Kwamé (Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, Christina Aguilera, Fantasia).

Vivian Green Releases Vibes Music Video Directed by Derek Blanks

The second single “Vibes” illuminates Vivian’s progression. The video filmed in Townsend Georgia is directed by famed photographer/director Derek Blanks. Elsewhere, she revisits Vivid favorite “Just Like Fools.”However, with re-recorded vocals and a cameo from none other than Musiq Soulchild.

Their two voices entwine in heavenly harmony over the horn-punctuated production. VGVI concludes with one of her most powerful and passionate performances yet. The finale “Stop Sleeping (See The Light)” sees Vivian embrace her platform like never before.

In the end, VGVI expands on Vivian’s legacy as her brightest, boldest, and biggest body of work to date.

“I hope people can feel the emotion. When they hear it, I want them to be able to live with it. It’s a little different for me. You can work out to it, cook to it, clean to it, and do all of those things we do. I want this to be one of those records that becomes a part of your life.”

Vivian Green Releases Vibes Music Video Directed by Derek Blanks (Continued)

Outside of music, Vivian’s voice echoes throughout culture. As an actress, she appeared in the Golden Globe- and GRAMMY Award-nominated film De-Lovely. As well as the TV show American Dreams.

Last year she appeared in the stage play “Two Can Play That Game” an adaptation of the original film featuring Vivica Fox, Gary Dourdan, Columbus Short, Porsha Williams and Carl Payne. Vivian starred as Vivica Fox’s best friend and performed some of her classic hits.

Vivian also remains a staunch advocate for the rights of children with special needs spearheading the #IamDifferentIamHuman PSA campaign. Her organization “I am different, I am Human” brings awareness to the 57 million people in the United States with a special need, particularly children.

After 15 years in an industry that continues to define itself by the tides of change it is impacted by, Vivian Green is still standing. And while she has enjoyed the robust support of a fan base that has come to rely on her for a specific, she too has changed. VGVI is a shimmering reflection of that change.
