CHEERS to THAT!



Let us all toast the new appointment of Somalian supermodel, Liya Kebede, as the face of L'Oreal cosmetics, shall we? First round is on me.


I have been mildly obsessed with the woman since her catwalk debut in the early 00's, and am happy to see more beauty companies are recognizing the diversity of beauty.


I'm sure folks will start chattering about her coloring being an issue in 5...4...3...2...1, but screw 'em. The woman is gorgeous and apart of a larger idea of what (Black) beauty is.

So pass the Dom and a crudite: there's another reason to celebrate being beautiful, Black, and oh so flyyyyyyyyyyy.
