DO IT GIRL!

Soul sistas, if I had allowed it, I would have hated on you long ago. But instead, i’ve decided to take the atypical route and embrace my admiration for you...my sista’s.

Soul Sista #1 - Eva

You gave America’s Next Top Model it’s rebirth. Now I have to admit, I wasn’t vying for you from the beginning. But as time went on, you evolved into my most preferred. You said from the beginning that this was a competition and you came to win. And you did; In the hearts of the judges, and in the hearts of most black women in America who don’t mind a little confidence and attitude. I mean, just the fact that you only had a short stint on Kevin Hill, when the word got out, even those black women who despise the show had to subside and flip on UPN for that hour on Wednesday night...even if we didn’t listen and had no idea what the plot was.

DO IT GIRL!

Soul Sista #2 - Kelly Rippa

I’ve never been too much into the whole “America’s Sweetheart” surge, but what I am into is fashion, and girl, you’ve proven yourself acceptable. Yes, a high heel is my best friend. Yes, a long boot high heel is even better. Kelly, you can wear a shoe. And your outfits are okay too. Just the mere fact that you can wake up as early as you do and host that early morning show and still manage to look like it’s 10pm and you’re ready for a night on the town is an A+ in my book. Bravo from evolving from the after school special look from your All my Children days. Oh and not to mention that fine husband of yours, Mark Consuelos.

DO IT GIRL!

Soul Sista #3 - Fantasia

I mean come on, what were the odds of me buying an American Idol’s CD. Zero if this were a few years ago...even though I like Ruben and Kelly both. But, after Whitney took a mental retirement, I got tired of “It’s Not Right, But it’s Okay” and “Just One Of Those Days”. Now I can still get my Whitney through “If you don't want me then don't talk to me. Go ahead to someone else. If you don't want me then don't talk to me. Go ahead and free yourself.” And not to forget the biggie of it all: I hear you have just signed as a spokesperson for MAC Cosmetics. (sigh) I think we all know how I feel about MAC.

DO IT GIRL!

I will hold you all near and dear to my heart as I continue to develop my very own fashion chic and technique. Then maybe one day someone, (other than my teens and those tryin to holla) will be able to say to me...

DO IT GIRL!
