Rip Your Own Runway

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! Rip the Runway aired last night on BET and I could not wait to bring you the hotness!

Joy Bryant and Derek Luke gave us Young Black Hollywood as the evening's hosts. Joy's stunning strapless Maxi Dress with embellishments- one word-A-Mah-Zing!











Our girl Korto Momolu from Project Runway was, by far, the best treat of the evening. At least for me. Equally delightful were all the Kinky Curly Cuties struttin' down the runway. Owwwwww! (As in, "All the ladies in the house say Owwwwwww)!




1. Designer Korto Momolu

2. Kinky Curly Cutie in an LBD


3. The baddest Chunky Fro and the baddest jumpsuit- Period!



4. Model Stacey McKenzie in Korto Momolu gown


















Did you see the bold, feminine hair accessories? Mama said, "Put a flower in it." KC Magazine will never steer you wrong. Here's designer Byron Lars and more lovely Curlies givin' us Spring. You-Bettah-Work!





























Designer Johnny Vincent showcased swim wear, and Douglas Says showed love to full-figured women.

In true BET style, performances from T.I., Ron Browz, and Keri Hilson were show highlights. If you missed any of this goodness, (in true BET style) the show will re-air Thursday night.

KC Magazine is giving it to 'ya- Fashion, Beauty, Hair, Jewels, Inspiration, Motivation, Appreciation, Relaxation....... Stay Tuned!















ETA: Joy Bryant's flowing pink silk gown is from Missoni.

Put A Ring On It

.... and a flower in it! Hey, 'yall. Spring is upon us and I am writing this just in time. The hot hair trend for Spring 2009 is Hair Accessories. Some like it bold, others like it girly, some like it slick, others like it glitzy. Which ever way you like, there is something here for you.

This is a look from the Louis Vuitton show (sorry for posting a clear girl on the page. Don't hold it against me. LOL. At least she's tryna' represent with the puff- or should I be offended?)












....and some of my picks of the season

Bold Curlies: Feathered headbands scream "look at me", and with your gorgeous 'fro they certainly will

Girly Curlies: Sweet and simple for day or date night with a flowered head band

Slick Curlies: Keep ponies sophisticated and minimal with designer accessories from Juicy Couture or Coach

Glitzy Curlies: Shine on with rainbow bright gems, crystals and rhinestones on headbands, combs, or pin a cluster of brooches in your hair.


Don't forget to watch Rip The Runway tonight on BET and get creative! Until next time.....
