~One Of My Favorites Covers One Of My Favorites: La Lopez For Allure January 2010~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

“It’s a business. Once they stop making money off of you they stop coming around.” -Jennifer Lopez on not being a target of the paparazzi anymore.


One of my all time favorite Glamour Whores/Divas, Jennifer Lopez, covers the January 2010 issue of my favorite beauty magazine...Allure. One of the reasons I admire her style so much is although she is the epitome of "Hollywood Glamour", she also took a little bit of the South Bronx to Hollywood with her...she is a prime example of "Where The Hood And High Fashion Meet".



Say what you want about her... But I admire that she has virtually built an EMPIRE , the woman is a walking corporation. And she accomplished it all while wearing couture from head to toe and perfectly applied lipgloss. She is a seasoned red carpet veteran and she rarely makes a fashion misstep. Go ahead... insert a joke about her infamous "fall"... you know you want to...but before you do, I'd like to see you jump off a backup dancers sweaty back and land perfectly in 5 inch Louboutins... Once you do that I'll let you make all the jokes you want... go ahead...take your time, I'll wait.


The cover and inner photos were shot by photographer Michael Thompson at Lux Studio in NYC. The ultra fabulous Oribe and Scott Barnes worked their usual magic on La Lopez's hair and makeup respectively. The issue hits newsstands December 22nd.



During the shoot 18 y/o fan Yamarie Mayol got to meet her idol through the Make A Wish Foundation. Jennifer gave her a tour of the studio and then they posed for pictures...

When I submitted some writing samples in an attempt to join the Strictly Fab team I honestly didn't think I stood half a chance...lol. Besides the fact that I had only been writing for maybe 6 months when I applied, I also had admired Celena Gill for quite some time and didn't believe I would get to work with her and more importantly...learn from her. This experience has been one of the rare occasions where the actual person behind the image wasn't a huge disappointment. Quite the opposite actually. Celena is just as fabulous as I thought she was!!

Besides Celena writing posts on various topics/events and me reporting on the latest beauty news, Joy Tolliver is also on board as the "relationship and dating" expert and her posts are great reads. Another very impressive woman and writer.

I will of course still be "Glamour Whore" 24/7/365 but I will also be "Strictly Fab" so I am asking you, my faithful much appreciated readers, to bookmark "Strictly Fab". I really feel that it is a quality site and you will not be disappointed. I will also make sure to list links to "Strictly Fab" articles on a weekly basis. Thank You so much for your support!!

"No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it." ~H.E. Luccock


I was at a family gathering tonight, and I was talking to my precious and fashionable little cousin "Sarah Bear" (Love U Sarah Bear!!), we were talking fashion and I heard myself preaching to her: "Juicy is DONE" "UGGS are out" "Ed Hardy is a wrap!!". Now as much as I truly believe those statements to be true, I realized that I wasn't stating them as opinion, I was stating them as fact. As if my opinion was the final word on all matters beauty, fashion and style. Hmmm...when I did become Mr.Blackwell's heir apparent? I figured out it was around the time I starting "Glamour Whore".

I have gained so much since I started writing...contacts, job opportunities, friends, and apparently...Narcissism. It was kind of inevitable really, all my blogs are filled with "I". The trends "I" love, the cosmetics "I" feel you should have, the editorials "I" think you see, the stars "I" feel have the best style. Ugh..."I" am so over myself.

Solution? Balance. Yup, "I" am going to try to give you links to blogs "I" don't write. "Glamarazzi" is going to be a new weekly post that directs you to other blogs. Some are about beauty, some about style/fashion and all are GLAMOROUS. So if you're a fellow blogger and your reading this please leave me your blog url in the comments section...join the "Glamarazzi".

Here are some great recent posts from blogs I adore, respect and can't live without...

Vex In The City: Such a great blog, founded and authored by a great gal from the UK. I love her style and she provides great color swatches of the cosmetics she acquires. If you are a cosmetics junkie...this is a great blog for you. I love her post this week about cosmetics brand K by Beverley Knight A line designed for ethnic skin tones. Check out her review and color swatches.

Diary Of A Style Addict: I love this blog mostly because I love the author's personal style and she finds the best deals and steals. She also has an amazing ability for DIY projects. Her "haul" videos are great, she makes you aware of the sales going on and the stores you will find the best fashion without breaking the bank. The videos are so informative and entertaining I almost satisfy my shopping craving just by watching one. My favorite post this week is one about wearing short shirts with leggings...is it a "do" or a "don't"?


Ferohhhsh: This definitely one of my favorites. Mz.Dani writes like a "human", meaning her posts don't sound like press releases. So refreshing! Her genuine love of fashion and beauty oozes off the screen. Although she mostly covers fashion/style, she also writes about cosmetics/products, sales, trends, accessories, etc. I damn near had a "shoegasm" from her latest post about boot trends. Check it out...

Strictly Fab: Ok, I swear I'm not plugging "Strictly Fab" because I am the blog's beauty expert. I am including them because I was a HUGE fan before I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to write for them. The site founded and edited by Celena Gill, a woman I highly admire, covers fashion, style, beauty, trends and lifestyle. A great, informative blog. I love Celena's post this week about tube scarves...a great winter accessory.

Ok, help me redeem myself from my narcissism by visiting these blogs (still read mine tho!! Lol...) and getting yourself a new outlook and perspective from 4 very different women..."The Glamarazzi" And don't forget to me your link if you want to join us:) xoxo
