FASHION FRIDAY: VICTORIA'S SECRET ANGELS

As well as being an actress, one of my life-long dreams was to be a Victoria's Secret Angel. Blame it on the angel wings. While I wait for the call that I'll be walking down the runway in this year's show, I thought I'd share with you guys some of the fab, fellow African chicas who've shimmied down the glittery runway:


Ajuma Nasenyana-KENYA

Alek Wek- SUDAN

Aminata Niaria-SENEGAL

Anais Mali-CHAD

THROWBACK THURSDAY: MC SOLAAR

MC Solaar

MC Solaar, (nee Claude M'Barali) is a French rapper who was born in Dakar, Senegal, to parents of Chadian descent. He is one of the most successful and influential  French rappers in the world, which is proven in the fact that one of his songs, La Belle et Le Bad Boy (The Beauty and The Bad Boy), was used in the finale in one of the most successful and influential television shows of all time, Sex and the City.
