Tha Hotness

Because black has always been beautiful....

it's about time people noticed.  Italian Vogue has done something ground breaking and allowed photographer Steven Meisel to produce a primarily black issue. Filled with images of beautiful black women such as Liya Kebede, Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Iman and Jourdan Dunn just to name a few. Goes on sale in the US on July 1st. Make sure that you pick up your copy.
One question that was posed was, how long does it last... Does the magazine go on stands next month with a lack of color?

Tool bag chic...

I love love love to carry everything but the kitchen sink in my purse... These great Toolbags and Gearbags by Sherry Stein make it easy for girls like me. The bags are made from industrial strength canvas and  are full of compartments and pockets for all of your essentials like your cell, laptop and of course your makeup bag. I have to make sure that I pick up one of the Gearbags before my vacation to Hawaii.

Etsy Lovin: Scarlette's Society of Quirky

Hallmark doesn't make lesbian themed greeting cards but Scarlett sure does... From the moment that I saw these cards on Etsy I was hooked.  I knew that I had to get one especially for Her ...  These lesbian themed greeting cards are such a fresh and exciting idea, just what the lesbian community needed.  So here I am shouting form the rooftop to make sure that you stop over there and pick yourself up some cards. I should mention that everything over at Scarlett's Society of Quirky is not lesbian themed, she also has some beautiful digital art print.

Etsy Lovin: Inkie Livie
