Essence April 2009

1. The cover is pink!
2. It's not Beyonce (as much as I love her) nor Will and Jada. Yeh!
3. Iman is ageless. period.
4. Feeding my obsession with Taraji
5. Au naturale!
6. They have the perfect pink stained look on their lips and cheeks, like what I'd expect out of Smashbox O-glow
7. Flawless skin and not overly done brows
8. Taraji's bob!

Do you have this issue? I couldn't get past the front cover.. okay I did. Only to get stuck on the Essence.com preview page. Hot damn! Go girl!!!!!!!!!!! I'm beaming with pride. THEN, I had to go all the way to Tia's page just to realize she penned the cover story! Ahhh, this is a special edition of Essence for me!
