Go With the Flo: Finally! Pretty lingerie for curvy ladies
FAREWELL to Ossie Davis. The fabulous actor passed away last week at the age of 87. Always a humanitarian, available for interviews, a wonderful gentleman and just a great guy, he will be missed.
Believe it or not, Ossie Davis Ruby Dee are the ‘ first celebrities that ever met in person. When I was junior high school, Miss Dee performed at the Ypsilanti Greek Theater in Ypsilanti, Michigan. grew up in Ann Arbor. I believe the play lasted all summer. Anyway, I met Mr. Davis and Ms. Dee’s three children, Nora, Guy and Laveme, at the Homestead Acres Theater Camp that we attended. Then, I invited Nora over to my house and we corresponded for many years after that. In fact, when I got out of college and moved to New York, they were the only family that I knew. They invited me to their house for a baby shower for Laverne.
So, in reality, Ossie Davis was a part of my growing up, and from the moment I saw Ruby Dee onstage at that Ypsilanti Greek Theater, I wanted to be in show business. Thanks to them, here I am.
ACTRESS LisaRaye McCoy is proud to announce Luxe & Romance, a design-driven line of luxurious lingerie made expressively for women with curves.
The line features washable silk lingerie in gorgeous jewel tones for all and includes lace trims, hand beaded and embroidered novelty pieces including glass beaded bras and boy shorts, designed for more curvaceous figures. Items include thongs, bikini panties, lounge pieces in silk jersey, pajamas, lace trimmed slips and screen printed silk camisoles.
LisaRaye, star of UPN’s hit “All of Us,” which is executive produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, says: “This line was made with real women in mind. It’s not the kind of contraptions your husband or boyfriend brings home that makes you feel like you’re wearing a sling. These pieces are so pretty you want the world to see them.”
Celebs who included her launch at New York’s Fashion Week included LisaRaye’s sister Da Brat, Missy Elliott, Debbie Allen, Irv Gotti, Eiise Neal and Beverly Mitchell.
THE arrests in the hip hop world haven’t slowed down at all. Master P and Silkk the Shocker were arrested in Los Angeles after police allegedly found two handguns in their car. And, Marion “Suge” Knight is currently at Chino Prison for Men after the cops in Barstow, California, found marijuana in his car when they pulled him over for an illegal U-turn. He’ll be there until a hearing decides if he should be kept for parole violation or released. My money says they keep him.
TONGUES are wagging that Will Smith’s party for his new flick “Hitch” was one of the best bashes ever. The Fresh Prince and his partner Jazzy Jeff performed. Celebs who attended included co-star Eva Mendes and Missy Elliott.
