Amber Rose Opens Sunglass Store in LA !

The ex-girlfriend of Kanye West became a Fashion Figure in just a couple of years. Her style, her attitude, her figure are all show-stoppers and she's known for wearing vintage, unique and rare shades so she decided to make it a business of her own.

Now you'll be able to walk in a store owned by the BOMBSHELL. Breaking the news on Twitter "DaRealAmberRose: I'm Opening a Sunglass store in LA! HUGE! ALL VINTAGE FRAMES! I'll Be ur SUPPLIER!!!! AMBER ROSE #BEHINDHERSHADES", she has created quite a buzz for fashion-lovers.

But don't mistake, Amber has a heart too. She later tweeted "DaRealAmberRose: Also (In my store) I will have a Barber chair for People of all ages to come and Donate their hair to CANCER & ALOPECIA". Now, how sweet & thoughtful is that?



Hopefully, we'll get to see the Pink Friday Heaven Bendel shades right in the DISPLAY !!

Nicki Minaj Responds To Lil Kim

TWO FASHIONABLE RAPPING DIVAS COLLIDE !!

If you don't the story of Lil Kim & Nicki Minaj, I'll tell you..

Nicki Minaj always paid respect to Lil Kim, especially during interviews. She spoke
highly of Kim and reminded everyone that she paved the way for her to be the
successful and raunchy female rapper she is Today. In result, Lil Kim and Nicki
along with a few other artists came together to complete a song. Apparently, Nicki's camp felt Kim'a verse was better but it had already been leaked to the fans, who agreed, so the single was never officially released. This upset Kim and becamse the root of their beef. From that moment until now, Nicki has thrown subliminal shots to Kim and Kim has expressed her feelings toward Nicki in numerous performances and interviews. Nicki Minaj has never confronted the situation with Lil' Kim, UNTIL NOW...



Before The Beef...



Lil Kim says she COPIED... Nicki Minaj says she PAID HOMAGE !!



Should They Just Squash The Beef Already?
Whose Side Are You On?

Rasheeda Maxine, The Ultimate Make-up Artist

I met Rasheeda a few hours before her "Last Train To Fashion" Showcase began this past June. I was invited by a designer to walk her line & had no idea that Rasheeda was a Make-up Artist or had anything to do with the show. That was until I witnessed her coordinating the heck out of a successful show with great designers & performers. You can view a clip of the show here...

It wasn't until a few weeks after the show, I ran into a few portfolios that featured make-up by a MUA that called herself MAxMakeUpPro. I found out that was Rasheeda and was in awe. The colors, the shades, the technique, the talent in the make-up she did was amazing.

I then had the opportunity to coordinate a look book shoot of my own & chose Rasheeda to be the Make-up Artist. As I expected, she delivered. Although, it was our first time officially meeting and working together, it felt like we were close friends. I laid out the eyewear we were using for the scenes & she ran with her imagination. I couldn't have been happier. She was professional, personable and a true sweetheart.





Being a model and designer, it is very hard to find a reliable Make-Up Artist for photo shoots and fashion shows who actually knows what they're doing & have a great attitude on top of that. I am grateful to be a friend of Rasheeda and already have tons of ideas to shoot just so I have an excuse to be MADE OVER by the wonderful Max Make-up Pro...
