Kimora spoke to Popeater recently about how she has managed to lose 25 pounds in a year:
She said, “I have shed the fat by not eating, but I don’t like to tell the kids that so they think they shouldn’t eat. No, I watch my portions, and I eat leaner proteins and vegetables and stuff like that.[…]So I woke up this morning and ordered breakfast at 4 AM. I had egg whites scrambled, spinach, turkey bacon and a glass of orange juice. The reason I had such a big breakfast is because I hadn’t eaten in two days. I’ve had fruit, I’ve had a smoothie, I’ve had a protein bar, but it’s not like I’ve had Doritos…I was out one night with two famous sisters when a bunch of burgers were being passed around. I went to grab one and the two of them looked shocked. They said ‘we don’t eat.’ Then after I grabbed a burger they said they were joking but I knew they weren’t!”
After she came under fire for the statement (as she alluded to anorexia), she later retracted, explaining, “I just wanted to take a moment to address a story about my recent weight loss that began circulating today. This story led people to believe that I shed 25 lbs (pounds) by not eating, which is completely ridiculous.I am a mother of three young children, two of whom are girls and I’m trying to raise them with a healthy body image. It’s taken me almost a year to lose close to 25 lbs and I did it through healthy diet and exercise. So yes, I’m a bit smaller, but still curvy and healthy and proud of my body and the time it has taken me to undergo this personal journey for myself.”
She continued, “I’m not one of those ‘superstar moms’ who lost all their baby weight in a week. So, yes, I’m upset about the innuendo because I just can’t win. In the past year there have been numerous rumors about my weight – first I was attacked for being a size 10, now I’m anorexic? I’m a real woman and I represent real women. I believe that people are beautiful at any size, color or weight. The way this article was promoted is unfortunate – what a silly way to sensationalize a story, especially when you know young people will be reading it…There must be more accountability in reporting, especially considering the far reaching impact on girls and young women who are exposed to this kind of misleading information on a daily basis. What kind of example is that setting for them?”
What do you think of Kimora’s PR snafu?
Hey Guys!
So I have a ton of pre-Coachella errands to run–laundry, nails, packing–so let’s get to today’s Bombshell!
Her name’s Kaylan from New Jersey, and she was nominated by her friend Nique:
Nique says, “I would describe Kaylan’s style as vintage meets modern day glam.”
“…Her style is the epitome of class.”
” She’s a designer and makes a lot of her own clothes–she has that designer’s eye and it shows through her style.”
“She can make a paper bag look like couture.”

Happy Monday!
It’s seasonably warm outside (finally), so I’m going to enjoy.
But first, today’s Bombshell: Natasha, a London based blogger, model, and photographer:
Her friend Sissi submitted her, and says, “Natasha is also known as Snowblack.”
Her blog, Snowblackblog.com, “…is a fashion and lifestyle website where she shares her fashion finds and travels when she is not busy with castings and learning Russian.”
“…She studied visual arts in Vancouver, Canada and did a year at Beaux-arts in Paris before moving to England. “
“Best Regards!”

Hey Hey!
So I received an e-mail a few weeks ago asking me to participate in a new fitness program called NYLean25. Conceived for the super busy girl or guy on the go, NYLean25 workouts last only 25 minutes and involve short spurts of interval training tailored to be super effective.
My only requirements were to go to three classes a week for a month, and follow a diet plan of healthy eating on the three days I took the course. With testimonials vowing 15 pound weight loss in 6 weeks (and with spring drawing near), I figured…why not?
I rushed to their Harlem location at Twirl Fitness Lounge (2303 7th Avenue between 135th and 136th) this past Friday and got to work:
The instructor wasted no time getting moving!
We hopped up and down, alternating between football runs, shoulder lifts, push ups, squats, and abdominals.
I’ve been going strong at Crunch Gym for about five weeks now, so I felt I’d be pretty prepared. Still, I broke out into a serious sweat.
The next day I was sore, achy, the works. All the signs of a good workout!
I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey with NYLean25 and tell you about it along the way. I’m pretty happy with my size, but would love to slim down my stomach and also get super defined arms (I’m thinking Angela Bassett ca. Stella Got her Groove Back). I’ll take another picture at the end–we’ll see if it worked!
If you’re in New York and intrigued, NYLean25 is a super easy way to get in shape–quickly. You can drop in and pay $20 per class, or buy an 18 class/8 week package for $225 or a 36 class/16 week package for $360. They also have convenient locations in Tribeca, Soho, Chelsea, and Harlem. If you’re trying to get right by the summertime, the time is now.
I’ll probably dip into the Tribeca location every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’ll let you know how it goes!
