As hoe-some as she may be Kim Kardashian is usually on point in the fashion department but I can’t say that I am feeling the look she rocked at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night. The pale face paired with my Mama’s favorite Fashion Fair lipstick hue from the 90’s combination did absolutely nothing for me. What’s your verdict?
I usually by my “night clothes” and High School Musical lounge wear straight off the clearance rack at Wal-Mart but I have plenty of friends who shop religiously at Victor’s Lies for gear.
The popular lingerie store rolled out its nationwide collegiate collection in June, featuring the names and logos of some 33 universities on sweats, hoodies, football tees, and totes, the promotion didn’t include any historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This fall, the brand plans to include five HBCUs in the second phase of its collegiate collection.
According to Dent, the first HBCU schools that will roll off the Pink line will be Howard University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, North Carolina A&T University, and Southern University. “We have agreements with the licensees who handle collegiate apparel for those schools, and this has been in the works for some time,” he says. Dent adds that the company plans to include students from the schools in internships at Victoria’s Secret, and feature promotions at their homecoming events.
Pink, a collection of loungewear geared toward young, college-aged women, first appeared in Victoria’s Secret stores in 2004. Since then, the brand has solidified its success within the parent company, Limited Brands, a retailing behemoth that includes Bath & Body Works and Henri Bendel. Dent says he didn’t view Reid’s Facebook group negatively. “We encourage people to be vocal [about our product],” he says. “Victoria’s Secret and Pink’s mission is to have relationships with our customers.” [SOURCE]
What’s your verdict?
Yup, she’s pregnant again. Sister 2 Sister and Today’s Black Woman are going to have a bidding war over the first pictures of the baby. I hope they are willing to shell out plenty of cash and Tijuana Mama’s!
Lil’ Mo brought a table cloth from the old country store inside of Cracker Barrel and attempted to make a dress out of it. What is your verdict?
While you reach your decision I am going to sit back and ponder over one of life’s most challenging questions - - Why in the blue hell Mo and her husband [I think] name their daughter God’isslove? With a name like that she is bound to do some extreme hoe shit in her teen years to show that she’s not as Christ like as her name may suggest.
Don’t blame me, blame the parents.
I see you Catfish Wilkerson!
ReRe the Body is a repeat offender when it comes to appearing at events with her comatose pocarras proudly on display. I’m not sure if she has a bra on or what but those shits are sleeping harder than Rip Van Winkle.
What’s your verdict on women who go out in public without a bra on? What should be the cut off cup size for women who want to let it all hang out?
Ah shit, little Olivia is giving off some major Melinda Doolittle vibes. DO. NOT. WANT!
Raven Symone hit the red carpet at a recent event looking like the host of the 1984 Miss Black Baltimore pageant. Crunkster TeanBean thinks that she is trying to bring back Countess Vaugh’s 227 jheri curl but hey, at least she would pass Yung Berg’s pool test with flying colors. What’s your verdict?
Master P and son Romeo have cut the prices on their clothing line P. Miller [that's not a joke] for retail giant Wal-Mart. The question now is will kids actually want to wear that shit.
The father-son duo’s clothing, which they have dubbed “The Great American Brand,” is aimed at teens and young adults, and will now be available at Wal-Mart stores nationwide, becoming the discount chain’s first African-American hip-hop supplier.
While brands like Polo, Sean John and True Religion jeans sell anywhere from $90 to $200 for a shirt or a pair of jeans, a P. Miller t-shirt will sell for just $9, and jeans for $20, making them much more afford for kids who want that hip-hop fashion for a fraction of the price.
“I figured out a way to make clothes affordable for inner-city families,” said Master P. “We use the same factories and the same materials as Sean John, Rocawear, and Ed Hardy. These are quality clothes you’d normally find at a department store like Macy’s. Now you can pick up the same high-end fashion at an affordable price.
“Kids don’t need to worry anymore about being bullied at school for wearing old clothes,” continued Master P. “Likewise, parents don’t need to choose between filling up the gas tank or filling up the closet. We’re helping families dress fresh for less.” [source]
Percy and Romeo have also created a women’s line called Miller Peaches, which will sell for $10 or less. P. Miller brand shoes, jewelry, fragrances, and eco-friendly organic cotton clothes are also in the works.
