She’s already been featured on my blog. But she’s here again. And will be here again and again 
It’s Tao Okamoto…my current obsession. In fashion/style, that is.
This is from the new V Magazine spread. She’s so frikkin’ fly.
Yes, ma’am, Gaga! Yessss indeed! I soooo cannot wait for 11/23 to cop her re-release/new release The Fame Monster (this video is the 1st single for it) and I DEFINITELY need her tour date in my life. She’s giving me vocal. Fashion. Imagery. Artistry. Fantasy. EVERYTHING! So inspired, I am.
Mmkay, so I started this photo album on Facebook called “Things That Turn Me On.” A bunch of images, mostly fashion related, that get my creative juices flowing. As I was looking through images I’d saved in my laptop over time, I noticed that most of the fashion-y ones were of white girls, not black girls. Hmmm….that made me sad. My reality is, though, most blacks gals don’t “push the envelope” when it comes to fashion. Collectively, there’s this belief that it’s more about labels than actual style. Some that are out-the-box stylisticly, are looked at as a little strange. Ho-hum. Even I sometimes fall victim to a uniform. But that has a little less to do with conformity than with just plain being style-lazy (lol).
Anywhoooo…here’s a Black chick that really rocks my boat, Shingai Shoniwa. She’s the lead singer of the British band Noisettes. I was into’d to them by my associate at Def Jam (whose parent company they’re distributed by) and though I dug the music, I dug her fresh even more. Avant Garde clothes, wild and free hair, different voice, and she plays guitar (dammit, Daddy, why didn’t you MAKE me follow in your guitar footsteps, lol). She’s definitely a Dope Girl Fresh.
You can get their album Wild Young Hearts on itunes now!
She already got it before, but here’s to one of the dopest in the game. Front if you wanna…Lady Gaga’s that knock! She sings down, dances, plays, writes, and is an artist to the max. Who’s effin’ with that?! Here she is doing “Paparazzi” live and the video is after. For those who didn’t know, NOW do you see the concept behind the VMA situation? Luuuuuuvs!
Ohhhhh….this is the stuff I love!!!! Rihanna looks OVER-fierce in these Vogue Italia photos. Whoever fronts is the biggest hater in the world. This bitch is WERRRRQQQQ’N!!!
Here’s a lady who I think has a dope style, voice, look, & aura. She’s grossly underrated, but she does have a die-hard fan following (I’m one of ‘em). It’s Miss Teedra Moses. She’s been caught up in label dramas, but has still kept things going, recently releasing a new song called “Everybody Rock.” I first saw her opening up for Cee-Lo Green in Miami and was so impressed by her stage performance…and she always rocks super-cute mini dresses! Check her out….
Since I don’t know what to blog about (orrrrr…I just can’t blog about certain things…) I’ll insert a Dope Girl Fresh post here on The Makings of Mylah. I have done it on melrosegirlz.com a few times, but hey, let’s do it here. First up, a girl after my own fashion heart, Amber Rose.
Maybe it’s because I dress similar (and she’s worn plenty other things that I’d LIKE to wear, but can’t afford…yet!). Maybe it’s because she’s rocking the low cut, which is an entirely different brand of beautiful. Or maybe she’s simply bad. I think all 3 things. Whatever it is, even despite a somewhat “suspect past” she’s still a poster child for Dope Girl Fresh. More visual evidence-just in case you need it-after the jump.
