• Andre J. is not only amaaaaaaazing, but he's also black, very different, and proud:
“Most people are conditioned to think of a black man looking a certain way,” Andre J. went on. “They only think of the ethnic man in XXX jeans and Timberlands, and here Andre J. comes along with a pair of hot shorts and a caftan or maybe flip-flops or cowboy boots or a high, high heel.”

• The week-long series on NBC Nightly News examining "issues facing the American black woman" begins tonight. [EUR]
• Nice. Really nice. [Racialicious]
• There's something charming about a totally bald ex-supermodel. [MG]
• This is just odd. What happened to Kerry, Common? What happened to Jackie Long, Serena? [Bossip]
WHOA@ that pic of Common and Serena!!! She stepped up her style and man game, huh?!! His lips ARE looking extra glossy (or maybe FISHY???) Too bad they don't make scratch and sniff screens. Hahaha!
ps..Andre scares me. I could care less about his sweetness, but his facial hair is enough to scare me into a seizure. Something just isn't right about his style. Booty shorts and flips flops or not - he needs some help.
black woman on the cover of a Vogue magazine, forget it! black man in drag and they're all for it! i have nothing against andre j., but the fact that he landed the cover of french Vogue disturbs me in more ways than i can really articulate.
I love Andre.J. He is who he is, if you dont like it, you need to erase those gender boxes.
Who is this dude? I've seen him a lot lately. What does he do?
I don't know what he does, but he looks like a fucking idiot. And that opinion has nothing to do with his gayness as anyone who has read this blog and my comments re gays knows - I have nothing against gay ppl. People who look like circus clowns are another story entirely.
Is blackmistressdiva now blackmissusdiva?
Yes, I am!!! As of Saturday. I know that breaks your heart, Daria.
Congrats!
aww, congratulations!
Thanks, ladies. I have begun the obligatory gaining of the weight! Last night I ate all of the left over cake (and had some butter pecan ice cream). Not sure what that's about…I had a major sweet tooth.
You better get it under control. Once the weight gain starts (and this generally happens to both parties), the sex starts to get less good and more infrequent. If you have a sweet tooth, best get some berries sprinkled with splenda and topped with some lite cool whip. ALL of my married friends gained weight after the wedding. They're not obese or anything, but putting that much weight in such a short amount of time can't possibly be good for you.
…and then I drank a bottle of wine. But that's the norm.
I think Andre J. is gorgeous. Is he also inside the magazine? If so I'd buy it.
Can someone explain to me who he is? I see on his MySpace that his occupation is "Personality."
I think he sums it up best here:

I can't believe he lived in LA. He's so not LA. He just seems like a New Yorker from jump.
His occupation is "free-spirit". I just wonder how his rent gets paid. Actually I don't wonder. I know many "free-spirits".
A lot of people like him though so God bless his purty little heart and more power to him.
(still thinking he looks like a clown)
Andre is fab.
I used to see him all over town looking fierce, and just being individual. More power to him, and I will so be buying his french vogue.
Btw, congrats on the nuptuals bmd!
