NEW BLACK BARBIE: (SOROR EDITION) CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE LOVELY LADIES OF ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.



Okay Lovelies,

I could not resist this breaking news. Barbie has launch a new collection of Black Barbie dolls, SOROR BARBIE. Since its launch in 1959 by Mattel, Inc., the sells of this fashion doll has been a major source of revenue. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002), creator of Barbie, which was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli.

Barbie has been an important element of the fashion doll market for nearly fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving spoofs of the doll and her lifestyle. So, with the creating of the new collection the Black SOROR BARBIE it is only fitting to have "CRITICS".

The Black SOROR BARBIE series begins by celebrating the lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is currently celebrating its 100-year anniversary. A strong representation of power, vision and commitment endured by the Founders through the course of ten decades. Since 1908, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, has been inspired by the vision, history, service, honor of sisterhood, anniversary, achievements and the legacy built by the Founders by strengthening their commitment to service. And, this BARBIE honors that spirit. . .

NSSoul LADY: BLACK FASHIONISTA OF THE MONTH

Well, Well, Well,

I am not sure if you lovelies have viewed the AUGUST 2008 issue of INSTYLE, but whoa!!!! Miss West Indian singing sensation/fashionista Rihanna is on the cover. This is huge for BLACK WOMEN representing beauty & entertainment. Not to mention she is doing her damn thang, big ups to URSULA STEPHENS (notable celebrity hair stylist) who in my opinion helped give Rihanna a cutting-edge. I love the hair cut and Rihanna is sure to be a show stopper at each and every event. Get it girlie!!!!
