'Sons Of Anarchy' Another 'Shield' Star
Monique Ruffin: Moms Change the World: Kenya Stevens
We all know rappers love clothing lines, and now actors want a piece of the action. Actress Gabrielle Union is about to tap into fashion. We caught up with Union at the Mont Blanc pen launch with John Lennon this Sunday in NYC. She told Black Voices that she is putting the finishing touches on her latest project, her very own clothing line which will be called Love & Blessings by Gabrielle."The line is inspired by her sister, who is full figured and has a hard time finding flattering clothing. Union intends to change the game and design pieces that will bring sexy back -- to the plus size ladies that is!.
"My sister is very plus-size and curvy," Union told Black Voices. "As with many black women, we have a harder time finding clothes to complement our curves, so I want to make clothes for women at any and all sizes that look absolutely great on them."
Miss Union may face lots of competition in fashion but she intends to keep her price points low while offering great and affordable pieces for everyone, not just plus-size women. Like Mary J. Blige, Union hopes to debut her collection with HSN/QVC. This sister certainly knows how to put together an outfit and her fans will be most likely to cop a couple pieces and look just as fab.
BV's Most Beautiful People
The 'Dreamgirls' star has always been beautiful in our eyes, but Jennifer Hudson's recent weight loss has gotten many people doing a double take. The songstress and current Weight Watcher's spokesperson has got it going on!
We don't know what we love seeing Holly Robinson Peete doing more, acting a fool on 'Hangin With Mr. Cooper' or commanding the boardroom in 'Celebrity Apprentice.' Whatever the role she looks great doing it.
Isaiah Mustafa, a former NFL wide-receiver turned actor made quite an impression on ladies after the debut of his Old Spice commercial, 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like'. Ladies, would it hurt if your man could look like him too? Probably not!
We're sure a number of guys have been knocked down by the beauty of songstress Keri Hilson, and we can't blame them. The singer-songwriter was recently given the honor to be the new face of AVON, and with looks like hers, we can see why.
What woman can look at Boris Kodjoe and not break a sweat? The loving husband and father of two got our attention in 'Soul Food' and hasn't lost it since. We think ladies can agree that wife Nicole Ari Parker is one lucky woman.
Jurnee Smolletwowed us with her acting ability as a child star, but these days she has us in awe of her beauty. We can all agree that the 'Great Debaters' actress has grown up to be a fine young lady.
Even a blind man couldn't overlook the stunning beauty of Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks. We were able to witness that the Vicky's model was blessed with brains too after seeing her on this season's 'Celebrity Apprentice. '
Floyd Mayweather may be knocking brothers out inside the ring, but outside he's knocking ladies off their feet with his dashing looks. For a guy whose job entails getting punched in the face, Mayweather has managed to keep his babyface intact.
Clearly Eva Marcelle's beauty was a huge part in her success on 'America's Next Top Model', so adding her to our list was really a no brainer. It was sad to see her split from fiance Lance Gross, but we have a feeling her single status won't last.
Similar to wine, Iman seems to better with age. Her runway days may be long gone but her stunning good looks are surely here to stay. At age 54, Iman puts even some of the youngest models to shame.

How about we “launch” ourselves off the couch and make jobs for ourselves. Nobody cares about trendy designer clothes or perfume that's purported to smell like someone else, especially in this economy.
Google this guy and check out the TRULY POSITIVE things he's doing for the world.
(Ex basketball player Will Allens Urban Farm)
Are you aware exactly how much damage making designer clothes does to the environment, not to mention the SLAVE labor camps utilized to manufacture the items OVER SEAS.

The next time you get the urge to correct someone's spelling check your dictionary first. The word, complement, is spelled as it should be. Compliment and complement are pronounced the same, are spelled differently and have different meanings. They are homophones.

GOOD!!! While she at it, can she make sure she include real size women, tall women over 5'9, and shoes if she want to make more money over a size 10? Anyone in the fashion industry want to make more moeny, then take heed. Real women in this world are not size 5's and some wear over a 10 shoe and need both that fit. That's why I love the store "Avenue". Women check it out!!

I thank Gabby for making clothes for large size girls. There are people who are fighting the battle of being large and are doing something about their weight. I think even though they are trying to lose it is good to look good whether you lose or not. Everyone is not small. Stop hateing It don't look good on you.
