Happy Friday Bombshells!
Last night I had the pleasure of hosting a “Get Pretty” event at my absolute favorite nail salon, Polish Bar of Brooklyn:
Polish Bar owner Tricia Lee, Publicist and Blogger Renae Bluitt, and I welcomed bloggers and Bombshells to enjoy the salon’s Five Point Beauty Focus of brow shaping, makeup services, lash application, trend manicures, and massages. Breast Cancer Awareness minx were also offered with donations benefiting the American Cancer Society.
We sipped strawberry champagne, ate delicious candy colored cupcakes from GoodieBox Bakeshop, and had a smashing time (didn’t we?).
“I like to describe my style as versatile simplicity.”
” I am all about pieces that can be dressed up…”
“… and dressed down.”
I think you have some cute pieces! Love those lace up wedges!

Since the ladies can get a little catty, I decided to break up this week of female Bombshells with Bomber Hunnit from LA:
Like most guys, this lead singer for the band Killer Kalifornia didn’t have much to say.
So the pictures will just have to speak for themselves:
For some reason his style, to me, screams West Coast. But I could of course be distracted by all the hand signs he’s throwing up…

Hey Hey!
We’re continuing to bring the Bomb Bombshells with Aqua from Hollywood, Florida:
She says, “It’s difficult for me to describe my style in words;simply because it is my form of expression.”
“I do not write, sing or dance to express myself. Instead, I use my style.”
” With me a shirt is not just a shirt or a pair of pants is not just a pair of pants…”
” They each symbolize what I am feeling inside, almost like a puzzle…”
” Fashion is my outlet, it is my way of showing the world what’s really on my mind. “
“My Style can’t be defined in words, but through pictures my style tells a story.”
Alright! What story do you think Aqua’s clothes tell?

She says, “I went from an athlete to an aspiring model that loves to try so many different styles…”
“… and just dares to be different with a variety of colors.”
” I go for more of grown and sexy look such as pants, blazers, and collared shirts…”
“Styled with accessories and heels.”
” To know more about my style or latest photos follow me on twitter @tomboyBeauty. “

Columbus Day is such a weird holiday, no?
Since it doesn’t seem as if anyone is off from work, we’re continuing today with our daily Bombshell ritual from Robyn from North Carolina:
She says, “My style is some what urban grunge…”
“It’s always changing. “
“…I really like to make a statement with my clothes…”
“…And never like wearing the same look twice unless I absolutely love it.”
” I have a blog called Off 4th and Graham ( www.msrobynlove21.blogspot.com) where I feature what inspires me and current fashion trends and fashion shows.”
Cute style, cute dog, snaps all around! I’ll be clicking on your website shortly.

I always like to feature at least one guy a week, and today’s Bomber Dayne from North Carolina made the cut:
He says, “I’m a 21-year-old college student and an English major/ Entrepreneurship minor in the field of fashion writing.”
“… I always incorporate accessories in every outfit, most noted is my Hermes scarves which I rock tied different ways almost daily!”
“My sister Diva & I have our own accessories line, ALL$TARR APPAREL which has caught the eye of many artists, but most recently Rapper Rye Rye!!”
” I get complimented on my style because I do what feels authentic — I never hop on the wave of trends, however if I had to pick one style influence it would definitely be MR. KANYE WEST!!! “
“ I think it’s important to show that men can be fashionable & chic just as much as ladies considering men’s fashion can often be very mundane, particularly when it comes to black men.”
I can totally see the Kanye West influence. What say you?

Do you remember the very first time you laid eyes on Suede magazine? I surely do! At the time I was fresh out of college and the magazine just spoke to me in ways I tried to supplement with other mags before it. Or remember when Honey was still in print? I used to love pouring through the mag taking in every word and totally relating to Mitzi Miller‘s (who is now the Editor-in-Chief at JET) hilarious antics.
See, I’ve always been a mag hag. When I was a pre-teen and throughout my teens I’d jump for joy whenever the latest issues of Seventeen and YM hit the mailbox. I felt all grown-up reading about boys and fashion and what not. Plus it was soooo much more sophisticated than Highlights.
But then magazines like Honey and Suede came along and it was like OMG–YOU COMPLETE ME! Sure there was Essence, Ebony, and JET, but finally there was a magazine for my demographic. Glossies that showed young women just like me looking fly and fabulous.
Then one by one, all the magazines folded. I was hurt. Guess it’s hard out there in those ad sales streets for mags geared to young black women.
But with the explosion of blogs since then, I can not only publish my own take on fashion and beauty, but I can also get my fix by just a few mouse clicks. I can check out young black style in Atlanta, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Lagos, and beyond without having to take my left hand out of my bag of Funyuns.
While browsing the web last night, I came across the latest issue of Vibe Vixen magazine with cover girl Tika Sumpter. I almost fell out of my chair thinking that VV was back in print and raced to the site to subscribe. That’s when I realized it was a digital issue. *sigh*
Which leads me to ask of you, Fashion Bombshells…are fashion magazines geared to young black women still necessary? Would you like to see any past favorites come back to print? And would you drop the cold hard change to purchase?
