Essence Storybook Wedding Contest

Although this really has nothing to do with fashion...Ms. Bomb loves true LOVE! So when our friends Aaron & Kyla were selected as one of six couples nationwide to compete for a chance to have their Storybook Wedding...we were overjoyed!

Essence Storybook Wedding 
Before each couple was revealed on the pages of the June issue of Essence, they were flown to Disney World for a weekend they will never forget. The brides-to-be had no clue what was in store for them, but luckily the magazine captured the individual proposals on video.

Basically, Essence magazine selected six couples to compete for this contest by telling everyone they know to vote for them via the Essence Magazine website. The voting ends June 10the, which is this SUNDAY!  Take a brief moment and please vote for Ms. Bomb's favorite couple...Aaron & Kyla!

Tribute to Maya Angelou, The Phenomenal Woman

Today we said goodbye to one of the greatest orators of all time! Dr. Maya Angelou has served as an inspiration to millions through her words, actions, and commitment to civil rights. She was a living legend and her influence on our culture is priceless. Most noted for her poems, "Phenomenal Woman" and "Still I Rise," she instilled a sense of pride in women everywhere. In addition to these noted works, Maya Angelou has set the standard by being: - San Francisco's 1st African American female cable car conductor - 1st African American Woman to have her screenplay turned to film, Georgia I remember the first time I was introduced to Dr. Angelou's story in 4th grade.

Dove Missed the Mark with Recent Facebook Ad

A recent Facebook ad ran by the Unilever brand, Dove, completely missed the mark. The ad displays a black woman transforming into a white woman after using their product. Dove issued an apology after makeup artist Naomi Blake reached out to the company to voice her concerns. The question is, would Dove have issued an apology or even pulled the ad if Blake didn't question their messaging? Well this isn't the first time the brand has been accused of releasing racist ads. Back in 2011, Dove ran an ad that displayed 3 women from lightest to darkest with the words "before" and "after." Indicating that the black woman had dry, undesirable skin and once you used the lotion, then your skin would be like the white woman. Again I ask, what is their message? Are they still using the same advertising agency? I guess they will be amongst the other companies hiring a new VP of Multicultural Marketing!
