Rip the Runway

Fashion meets Hip Hop and R&B on BET's Rip the Runway.  I think it's great that black designers get to rip the runway - so, I watched, and here's what I have to say:

LOVED IT!

 Love the dress (Gavin Douglas) but what's up with the face?!

Fearlessocity!

Bruno Mars' (& B.o.B's) performance was great! That voice - OMG!

Janelle Monae's style was so Chanel - I like!! Check her footwork though!! 

Tracy Reese's dresses were so cute!

I loved a lot about this show actually (surprisingly) LoL:  

Nicki Minaj in black & white - I'd totally wear that (and her British accent - I had one earlier today.)

The chained/ spider web vest was undoubtedly hot!

Aaliyah impersonator - HA!!

Did u see that bike?! This is the most hood fashion show ever - LOVE IT!!

I didn't love everything though - ohhhh nooooo!

HATED IT!

This is a fashion show boo! Get it together! Where's your posture?!

Let's get my girl some shoes that fit please!

Your stylist MUST be fired - immediately!!

Of course, there was more to hate:  

Trina singing and lookin a HOT mess!  

Some of the models were so stiff and un-model like.

Mariah Carey ft. Nicki Minaj - Up Out My Face (Remix)

 
So, I'm a fan of Mariah Carey (some of my fave music is MC in the 90's doin her thing with Jermaine Dupri and other Hip-Hop legends...love it!!).  And I haven't really listened to much of Nicki Minaj's music.  But despite some explicit content and differences of opinion, I really admire her style, her prowess, and her presence on a track.  Just saw this video (I'm a little late as usual...lol =) but I'm getting better) and I LOVED it! Nicki has proclaimed herself as "Barbie" and everybody already knows that Mariah personifies "Barbie," so this collabo was totally appropiate.  The song is hot all on its own.  And watching the video was fun, because I got to see the chemistry between the two ladies.  I could tell that they were genuinely having a great time (they laughed a lot and were able to feed off of each others energy).  I guess I'm a little biased-I love shopping, make-up, hair & nails, and a guy that's on my level-so the video def spoke to me.  Watch it for yourself-it's HOT!!
