Hello all! I’ve been quite a stranger this month, however don’t get me wrong I’m still keep up with the latest and newest. Just haven’t had the time or strength to post every moment. Check out the videos I’ve spotted this week that I’ve been playing on repeat. Enjoy =)
This is so dope. The New York Times magazine, “T”, fall fashion 2011 shows off Afros in a black and white spread by Alice O’Malley. The natural hotties are of course Solange, Esperanza Spalding, Les Nubians, June Temple, and Corrine Bailey Rae. They are modeling beautiful evening gowns and their gorgeous natural hair. Which one is your favorite photo?
I have always wanted to know how Esperanza Spalding, gets her curls to be so big and perfect. Earlier this week, she sits down with Parlour Magazine to talk about the products she uses and being natural. Check out the full article Here

I spot natural hair anywhere, even on the BET awards. Esperanza Spalding was given a segment during the Prince tribute and it blew me away, not to mention her volumnous afro. Esperanza Spalding is a bassist, vocalist, and composer with a very jazzy contemporay sound that shows pure talent and grace from her lips and fingertips. I happen to find her voice one of the timeless most international sounds yet. This aspiring artist grew up in Portland, Oregon where she became bilingual and enhanced her passion for music throughout the years. After attending Berklee College of Music, Esperanza released her first debut album in 2008 entitled “Esperanza”. Look out for her, cause I know I am!
Check out her song “I adore You” talk about amazing, hope u like 🙂
