Claire’s Life: A Special Screening of Amanda Seales’s New HBO Comedy Stand Up, I Be Knowin’

The other night, I was invited to a special advanced screening of Amanda Seales’s new HBO Comedy Stand Up Special, I Be Knowin’.

While most of you might know Amanda as Tiffany, the somewhat stuck up glamour girl on Insecure, I first met Amanda as Amanda Diva, years ago when she was on a show called Funny Style on BET.

Amanda has always been funny, always been unapologetically black, always been beautiful, but I Be Knowin seems to capture her essence completely. In the one hour comedy special she explains is geared towards Black Women, she, resplendent in African print accented by a salmon pink tank, discusses issues we all deal with, from corporate politics, to cat calling to white privilege–all in a hilariously uplifting way.

While watching I Be Knowin’, I laughed out loud several times, cheered, and joined her and the audience in singing several songs (including the Black National Anthem). Watch this with your girls–the special feels intimate yet universal, as Amanda touches on topics distinct to the black female experience in Trump’s America.

Be sure to check it out on HBO on January 26th (just a few days away), and let me know what you think!

For the night, I represented in a Black Panther tee from FashionBombDailyShop.com.
I’m in LA! Stay tuned for snaps from the Sunshine State.

Hood Celebrityy on Being a Walking Trophy, Cardi B Helping Her Go Viral, and What’s Next for 2019

Hood Celebrityy’s hit single Walking Trophy was on constant repeat over the summer, racking up over 18 million streams worldwide, and setting the stage for her takeover in 2019.

The Jamaican born, Bronx bred Bombshell showed off her sartorial side for a recent exclusive editorial for Fashion Bomb Daily, photographed by Kat Morgan, and styled by Raytell Bridges, with art direction and hair by Dante Blandshaw, and makeup by Deb Padilla. About the shoot, Hood Celebrityy said, “I feel like each look reflects a portion of my personality. This is actually the first time I was able to show the world all of me in different ways.”

Hood Celebrityy, born Tina Pinnock, is no stranger to style. Before she was making the club bump with her dancehall sound, she worked in retail as a sales associate. She explains, “The store was called “Capo Fashion” and is located in the Boogie Down Bronx. Capo was known for Robin Jeans, True Religion, BB Simons, Taverniti. I enjoyed working with the clientele as I truly love clothes. I learned to appreciate people from all walks of life. I also learned that everyone has something very unique about them and that fashion [is a way for us to express ourselves].”

Fellow Bronx Bombshell Cardi B helped Hood Celebrityy go viral by posting her song “Wine Pon It,” on the ‘Gram. “I appreciate Cardi’s effort and how much she believed in my music. I thank her for that.” Celebrityy adds, “[But] As far as any other collabs only the future could answer that.”

Her Jamaican roots permeate everything she does, particularly her look. She says, “I love Jamaica and my cultural heritage. The bold Jamaican fashion aesthetic shows up in my style as I love bright and vibrant colors. I love to be in coordination with clothes and footwear.”

In conclusion, we had to ask: What is a Walking Trophy? She says, “Walking Trophy” is [all about] women’s empowerment. The point is to make every woman feel and know she is beautiful.”

She adds, ” I came up with the concept as I was home working out. I looked in the mirror and said to myself, ‘I am a walking trophy.’ I was just admiring myself, but I was like it’s others out there that are walking trophies too.”

The Bomb Life: Our Vision Board Brunch on Martin Luther King Day

Happy Tuesday!
Yesterday, I hosted Fashion Bomb Daily’s very first Vision Board Brunch on a beautiful rooftop in Manhattan!

Bombshells got together to eat food by Chef Sam, drink Belaire Mimosas, and dream!


Vision Boarding is all about flipping through magazines and finding images and phrases that align with your goals. A lot of times you might not be sure what you want! Taking the time to write down or visualize what you want out of life makes you more specific about your needs and also gets your mind marinating on how you are going to accomplish them.


Despite the cold temperatures, Bombshells came out in style! Take a look:

Bombshell Amanda Finesse worked a Gucci sweatshirt with Diane von Furstenberg Printed Pants.

Stylist Kelsey Ashley was glam personified in a floor sweeping fur coat, onesie, and Balenciaga sneakers.

This is how you slay in Houndstooth and white pumps! Bomb!

This artiste paired a caped look with a YSL bag.

This Bombshell exuded casual glam in a t-shirt and olive hued pants.

I was all about Camilla Barungi’s floral dress and blue sneakers.

Black on black is always chic.

The fashion industry hopeful was stylish in a leopard top and black pants.

Sequins and stripes are always a good idea!

Busie Matsiko wore a red blazer and black pants.

This fitness guru also bet on red and black.

My co-host Meriem Romeo looked flirty in a floral cocktail dress.

As for me, I kept it casual in Rayar bell bottom Jeans, our new NYFW t-shirts, a Bomb Necklace from Cherneal Altovise, and my favorite: a Balmain blazer.
It was a fun time!



Our events are going to be poppin all year! Our next stop is Memphis, Tennessee on March 23rd, get your tickets at CWCMemphis.eventbrite.com. And if you’d like us to bring our event series to your town, leave a comment below!
