Friday Video Fun

Do y’all have personal anthems? Q-Tip’s “Vivrant Thing” has been one of mine for years.

The lyrics and video are hot, but the beat is just bananas. (Confession: I sometimes bump this when I’m trying on clothes at home or getting ready to go out. I think everyone has at least one of those jams!).
FYI: Q-Tip ‘s new album, The Renaissance, is a banger.
Hope you all had a fabulous, fashionable Thankgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I saw this image online…it’s slightly offensive, yet I can’t help myself:

Enjoy the turkey, corn bread, mashed potatoes, lasagna, peas & rice, ham….oh my mouth is watering!
I’m grabbing dinner with a few expat friends.
The Fashion Bomb will be back in lite form on Friday, so you can all make time for Black Friday Shopping.
Bisous!

Jourdan Dunn: Model of the Year

Jourdan Dunn took home the Model of the Year award last night at the British Fashion Council’s Annual Ceremony:

At just 18, the young Brit has scored the cover of Italian Vogue, several print campaigns, and made news as the first black model to stomp for Prada since Naomi Campbell 15 years earlier! Snaps for bringing it home! Let’s hope she continues skyward, and doesn’t end up like her.
Bisous!
Psst In other model news, NY Mags whispers that lithe mannequin Sessilee Lopez is boo’ed up with style czar Kanye West! Kanye does have good taste…

We love Rihanna’s style, but do we love her music?

Last night, as a friend was marveling at the many instances of Rihanna on the Fashion Bomb, I thought to myself: Rih-Rih is a certified fashionista, which merits her frequent glances on TFB:

But style aside, do we love her music?

Umbrella was a hot hit, but do we bump her CD? I can’t think of one song of hers I’d need in heavy rotation.

Sasha Fierce on the other hand…

…the hits go back for years:
