We are FABULOUS: 41st NAACP Image Awards!

Last night the 41st NAACP Image Awards took place to celebrate and reward the accomplishments of people who the organization believes have successfully advanced people of color.

We love anything that celebrates us as a people, puts us in a positive light, and of course gives us a reason to dress up and look FABULOUS as well as support one another.

If you tuned in last night, what was your favorite moment during the awards? We thought they were overall wonderful minus director Lee Daniels acceptance speech... lol.. but what can you do?

Another site said that the awards was definitely a night for the ladies because they were the ones cleaning up and bringing home all the awards. That is what we like to hear!! Let's continue with that trend and BEING FABULOUS!!


Take a look at some of the snapshots of the FABULOUS BROWN GIRLS who attended the awards!

Monica exudes what a FBG is. and you know we can't wait to see what else she has in store.

WE ARE the WORLD 25

First off, I apologize for the lapse of posts. I am definitely sure you all can relate to a time when life starts to get real and everything comes at you at the same time. It is not a bad thing, but Life is starting to make the moves that I have been waiting for and I can barely keep up, so please forgive me if I do not post as frequently as I normally do. But don't worry! I am committed to this blog and can't stay away from you Fabulous Brown Girls for too long!!! You ladies are always on my mind!

Over the weekend, the video and release for the "WE ARE THE WORLD 25" was released. Even though critics are giving the remake mixed reviews. I found it to be refreshing to see more artists than I could keep up with on this song. It warmed my heart just hearing the song because it is one of my favorites, but seeing everyone from Jennifer Hudson, to PINK, and even Tony Bennett contribute was awesome!

If you didn't get a chance to see the video, please check it out below. I think the KING of POP would be PROUD!!

2010 "We Are the World" Remake for Haiti

Very recently, the world famous song for unity and aid, "We Are The World" was remade 25 years later to raise for the tragedy that occurred in Haiti over two weeks ago. I would be lying if I said this wasn't isn't extremely ironic that that the 25th anniversary is marked with the earthquake.

Even though it was missing some of the most popular celebrities like Beyonce', Lady Gaga, and a host of other widely popular celebs, I am still amazed and proud at how serious celebrities are taking what happened in Haiti. The philanthropy and the love they are showing is very inspiring.

Check out a few picture of some of the many celebrities giving the gift of their voice and recording the remake of that special song. I am really anticipating to hear the new version because the song still gives me chills whenever I hear it.

Now

Until the new version is released, check out the original made in 1984. I bet you can't tell me this song doesn't do something to you! My father purchased the original record and I plan on purchasing the new version.
