• Solange Knowles continues in the tradition of flawlessness in her newest video ad campaign for Carol’s Daughter Relaxed-to-Natural Solution Kit.
See her work it in the short clip above. (The Fashion Fiend)
• Just as I’d happily forgotten his barely relevant existence, Glenn Beck is back, with a thirst as unquenchable as ever. This time, Mr. Beck is aiming his vitriol at one Anna Wintour, over the video promoting her fundraising dinner for the Barack Obama campaign. Not only does the noted Teabagger call the British Wintour an American, making fun of her “fake” accent, but he calls into question the Vogue editrix’s credibility in representing the campaign: “You don’t hire someone or get into bed with or have somebody do the fundraiser for you who they made a true life story. A true to life movie about and called it The Devil Wears Prada. She was the devil part! She was the person who actually was in the movie treating all of her co-workers, her underlings, like garbage, waiting on her every whim. She is — she is — what [Barack Obama] says capitalists are like all the time. She is everything she says the Republicans are and she’s an Obama supporter.” Then, Mr. Beck, now that Obama’s “in bed” with “American” “capitalists,” does he have your vote? (Huff Post)
• Former Destiny’s Child backup singer Michelle Williams is venturing into the fashion world. The Broadway star is designing in collaboration with African brand Koshie O as part of the “Koshie O Woman” campaign. Michelle’s pieces will be available next spring.
• Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won the Womenswear Designer of the Year award at last night’s CFDA awards. Other winners included Billy Reid for Menswear and Reed Krakoff for accessories. Don’t forget to watch the full ceremony today on Style.com (WWD)

That transitioning shampoo gets the side eye b/c it has sulfates in it.

The Olsen twins are looking soooo much closer to their age…yaaay lol

When I went natural 4 years ago I started off with carols’s daughter. I branched out because her products did nothing for my hair type. I did love the hair milk, and that was about it. Love the commercial.

The transitioning kit is clearly all about marketing because this product is loaded with chemicals.
June 5, 2012 1:04 pm
My guess is that kit is a waste of money…Michelle Williams and fashion? Yeah right. That Olsen twin in the black looks 12 years older than the other one.

Glenn Beck is reaching so hard you’d think he was trying out for the new Fantastic 4 movie. Take some lithium and a nap!

they look awful.. look older than 25 late 40s.

I’ ve seen what the brand has to offer thus far…maybe Michelle can bring a little umph to it *shrugs* not my style but I applaud anyone who can start up a fashion biz.
Carol’s Daughter is doing too much now. I understand brands grow but they don’t even have many scents to choose from now, and the hair prodeucts are questionable. This is right up there with Sylvia’s greens in a can….not feeling it.

i dont understand the hype over carols daughter,there are so many other better hair products.the olsen twins look sooooo weird.i look out for michelle pieces,but next spring is a long time.
June 5, 2012 2:03 pm
Lmao @ Destiny’s Child backup singer!!! But le sigh at this whole transtioning “fad”. There is no transition, you have to cut the perm out plain and simple. But much love to the black woman for getting rich the American way..fooling the masses.
June 5, 2012 2:05 pm
not a cd fan…especially not with her new hype man on twitter…but Solange looks great…
June 5, 2012 2:10 pm
The fashion industry loves to worships the Olsen twins. Yes the Row and Elizabeth and Jamees are good brands but nothing special. Tis

I like Carol’s Daughter for some products like the Black Vanilla moisture line and the Monoi strengthening line, but haven’t read about the transitioning kit yet. I am absolutely dying over here laughing at Mr. Beck; his grammar is terrible and he needs to find something else to do…maybe crochet? The Olsen twins make me look like I’m ten because they’re so old-looking for mid-20s, but congrats ’cause their bags are cute. Michelle’s designing? June would be proud :)

I usually love Jihan’s candid commentary, but the “backup” singer dig was… startling? *shrugs*
June 5, 2012 4:54 pm
I tried Carol’s daughter when it first came out and it left my hair super dry! Haven’t had the desire to try anything from the brand since.
June 6, 2012 2:48 pm
that “backup singer” shade was not necessary.
