• Nicki Minaj goes Smurfette blue for a profile in Vogue.
The “Stupid Hoe” rapper sat down with the Fashion Bible to talk her sartorial proclivities (she wears “costumes, not outfits,”) and her future plans to start “an enormous foundation to nurture girls.” (hopefully not by calling them nappy headed hoes). What do you think of a blue Nicki? (Vogue)
• Kate Moss has been diagnosed with a nerve disorder (ulnar nerve entrapment,) that has left her temporarily paralyzed in her right arm. She is expected to make a full recovery over the next few months, though the model is currently having difficulty performing everyday tasks (like taking a lid off a jar.) A friend close to Moss says “her hand is not paralysed or injured in any permanent way.” Get well soon, Kate! (Daily Mail)
• Because the theme hasn’t at all been overdone, M.A.C cosmetics is launching a Marilyn Monroe inspired collection. The 30-piece line is set to drop in October, just in time for you to get your Marilyn Monroe Halloween costume together. (WWD)
• Ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes at Prada‘s workshop? For the first time ever, the famed Italian design house is opening its doors to La Reppublica, a mere 24 hours before the collection hits the runway. (La Reppublica)
• And just for fun, here’s President Barack Obama singing with B.B. King and Mick Jagger at the White House. He sounds great! If this re-election thing doesn’t work out, he can always record an album! (HuffPost)

-Nicki Manoj – I actually like it…and I’m not a fan of hers. I wonder…will ‘foundation’ also include session on self love and acceptance? I mean really.

I think that Nicki looks better in blue now as said above I agree that her wigs are horrible!!

i agree with brevard embroidery. I thought it looked a little weird at first but i like it. She does look better in blue. Her regular skin been looking kinda ashy, so im assuming she’s been bleaching.

Yes the Marilyn Monroe is an over kill but depending what is offered, I’ll buy.

I’m usually not a conspiracy theorist but what’s with the blue? SMH Uhhhh, is it that hard to have a Black girl in Vogue? Where was Grace Coddington when this atrocity happened? I know Anna was asleep at the wheel… If she EVER gets the cover-it better not come out looking like that.

i can’t believe that Anna went along with that shot…but whatever it was done well, and the pink wig is fun i just hope girls don’t go out trying to recreate that lol.
