Ebony Magazine is giving thanks to all those brothas that know how to make us swoon. Effortlessly swagger is innate. It cannot made. And if you don’t believe me take a look the four men pictured (four other covers are avialable). Each one has made a mark in our community and the world, for not only being talented, but for being an unapologetic individual. Be sure to grab a copy, or two, this coming Tuesday:For the first time ever, Ebony magazine presents not one, not two, but eight quintessential covers to celebrate the 25 coolest Black men of all time. Jay-Z, Barack Obama, Prince, Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Marvin Gaye, Muhammad Ali and Billy Dee Williams take center stage as they personify Black cool on the covers of this historic collectors edition. From their sleek, debonair styles to their smooth-as-silk personas, these magnificent Black men have conveyed, captured, and conquered the quintessence of cool while making it appear effortless.Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge the photos…

Ashley Dupre has dropped her lawsuit against Joe Francis. Ashley filed the suit in April for $10 million claiming he had exploited her name and image for profit.

Ashley’s attorney Richard C. Wolfe said in a statement today,
“Ms. …

Not one to adopt “style icons” from the celebrity realm I have to confess to a guilty fascination with the sartorial choices of Swedish singer Lykke Li. With a look that perfectly mirrors the smoky, pretty dancefloor of her music, her world makes me want to dance dance dance amongst sequins, stripes and speakerphones.

With a fondness for stomping about in Carine Roitfeild-esque shoes, scruffy masculine tailoring and a neck adorned with countless charms her look is a seducing me into a sharper boyish approach to dressing. It’s her dash of Swedish craziness that really gives this discoball vixen her charm and yes, if that means posing with a pair of killer shoes on your head then so be it.
Any girl who can effectively mix pretty pretty glamour with a dishevelled scruffiness immediately wins points in my book, and her combination of nonchalant stripes with magpie sequins in the video for “Little Bit” (which is awesome for a hundred different reasons, not least the dancing boy in short shorts and braces….) is prime example. So too, is her combination of old black t-shirts with top-knot chignons and smoky bedroom eyes. I think I might be a little bit in love with this girl….

So I cant help but complain that regardless of which site I shop, they’re all trying to covince me that its autumn. According to Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus the leaves should be changing to deep reds, oranges and yellows, the sun should be setting earlier and we should all be wearing long sleeves and pants when infact the sun is shining until late in the evening, women are baring their arms and legs for all to see and the leaves are as green as can be.

So what’s going? The intention of displaying autumn fashion at the beginning of summer is to get consumers excited about the prospects of what they will be wearing in a few months. Unfortunately, what is intended and what occurs seems to be vastly different.
Instead of getting us excited about autumn, we resent retailers for forcing the cold months upon us prematurely. Yes I think the AW08 Prada looks amazing and yes I would love to own any item from the Michael KorsAW08 collection too, but no I do not want to think about it or buy it right now.
Enjoy the summer months while you can friends, before you know it well be buying snow boots in August!

Here's a great trendy look that takes a little time to prepare but well worth the effort.  Tess Daly has had small vertical sections take one at a time, sprayed with heat protectant, then curled with a large curling iron.  These sections were already combed prior to spraying and curling, then they are left undisturbed to fall allowing the neat smoothness from the spray and heated iron to be admired collectively.

Pierce Brosnan has a classic man's haircut with nothing fancy to remark about.  The one thing that makes his look so suave, besides his good looks, would have to be the sophisticated, natural gray around his temples and sideburns.

All one length hair will hold some curl on the ends, especially if you use a product to lock it in.  Walking this red carpet, Amanda Seyfried looks radiant with her ringlets falling gracefully upon her shoulders.

Christine Baranski has a little layering along the bottom third of her medium length and she chooses to have large bends in her style.  Using an extra large curling iron on sections of this style results in just a little volume while basic directional control ensues.
