A Celebration of Motown at the White House


    Smokey Robinson, Sheryl Crow, Jamie Foxx, Ledisi, John Legend, Seal and other musicians performed at the White House last night for a special evening titled "The Motown Sound: In Performance at the White House". The event was given in celebration of Black History Month and the legacy of Motown, the distinctive soul-infused pop music sound, style and presentation that was born in Detroit and embodied by the Motown Records label. 

    John Legend performed Stevie Wonder's "Love's in Need of Love". During his set, he shared some of his Motown childhood memories, and how his father and uncle inspired his love for music.
    Le
    Smokey Robinson took the stage with Sheryl Crow for a duet on his hit, "You Really Got a Hold on Me,' and then Stevie Wonder followed with his classic, "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

    Stevie Wonder also thanked Motown's very own Berry Gordy: "Berry, thank you for this incredible Motown ride". 

    "The Motown Sound: In Performance at the White House" will air on PBS Tuesday, March 1st. Check for local listings here.

Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and More Dress up for Halloween




    Hey Glamazons!

    I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween weekend. I sure did. Halloween might be one of my favorite holidays of the year because I live for playing dress up. I even had two costumes this year (yes, festive is my middle name!) but more on that later.

    Several celebrities got into the Halloween spirit this year as well from Rihanna who tweeted herself getting cozy with a skull above, to Lady Gaga who dressed up as Cruella Devil to Kim Kardashian who made a beautiful little Red Riding Hood. Scroll down for our favorites and tell us who you think had the best costume!

    And remember to send your costume to us at theglamazonsblog@gmail.com (also you can hit us via Facebook and Twitter) for a chance to be featured on the blog.





    Ciara dressed up as Storm from X-Men designed by Joseph Altuzarra and I have to say she looked BEYOND fab! So much so I might be stealing that costume for next year. Love the black catsuit and color contacts, but a white wig and cape would have made it even hotter!





     Every year Heidi Klum outdoes herself and this year is no exception. She dressed up as a Transformer with fellow robot, husband Seal. The stilts, red hair, purple glitter body paint and fab silver hardware details are so major! Everyone from Marc Jacobs to Joe Zee tweeted their praises.




    After tweeting pictures of herself in four costumes (all below), Kim Kardashian stepped out to Heidi Klum's annual costume party at Lavo in a red riding hood costume. Love her subtle makeup and killer red shoes. 
     



    Oh, and publicist and BFF, Jonathan Cheban was her Big Bad Wolf. 


     


    Kim tweeted pics of herself in four costumes before choosing Little Red Riding hood. The pirate was my favorite, but sister Kourtney rocked that look instead with Mason in tow. Cute!




    When it comes to theatrical stars like Lady Gaga, one has to wonder: what does she dress up as for Halloween? I mean, everyday they're a walking Halloween costume, right? Well, we have our answer: Cruella De Vil.


      

    Gaga's costume really just consisted of a dalmatian coat, black briefs and red pumps. Apparently, she was surrounded by an entourage of women dressed up as her dalmatians as well.




    For Colored Girls star, Janet Jackson showed up at the Lanvin party dressed up as a gangster. Fierce! A mustache, fedora, cigar and gorge feathered heels completed the look. Didn't she nail it?





    Who was your favorite out of our Top picks? And here are some other celeb costumes that wowed us this year:




    Ellen Degeneres as Snooki's poof! Dying at the Cabbage Patch doll on the floor




    John Legend as Anthony and girlfriend Christine Teigen as Cleopatra




    Gwen Stefani made my day with her cow print pants!

     


    Snooki dressed up as a pickle. Umm, okay.




    Lala Vasquez made an adorable sailor


    Kisses,

A Day in the Life: John Legend and The Roots Concert Presented by BlackAtlas.com



     There are few artists that will get me out to a concert on a weeknight, and John Legend is one of them. The Grammy Award-winning artist with the smooth-as-velvet voice and hypnotic melodies puts on one hell of a show, and Monday night was no exception. If you've been lucky enough to see him perform, you'll agree his performances are emotive and magical. Add The super-group The Roots to the lineup, with Twitter-star ?uestlove at the helm, and you have a memorable concert no one would want to miss---even on a Monday!




    Last week, on Ferocia's birthday, she and I went downtown to the Bowery Ballroom to attend the concert, one of the first of a series of events presented by American Airlines' BlackAtlas.com that will include functions with Russell Simmons and celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson down the line.


    What is American Airlines' BlackAtlas.com, you ask? Well, besides music and (obviously) writing, my other favorite pastime is traveling. BlackAtlas.com brings all my loves together with a social networking site that features compelling travel content alongside video, commentary, photos, blogs and discussion boards. The appeal? It allows users to share traveling experiences, tips and recommendations with people from all over the world. Pretty cool, right?

    I would love to share tips (i.e. when visiting Negril, Jamaica, venture away from the strip to really embrace Jamaican culture and not just the tourist experience) and stories (like my famed karaoke and sushi moments in Tokyo) with BlackAtlas.com users while benefiting from their anecdotes and advice, wouldn't you?


    You can even build travel itineraries (something my roommate is famous for) based on BlackAtlas.com user recommendations before you set foot on your flight. Love it!


    And that's not all. Venture over to BlackAtlas.com for features from travel expert-at-large world traveler, author, filmmaker and TV Producer Nelson George and an exclusive interview with John Legend. Speaking of John Legend, the concert was a soulful, fun and lively experience with Legend belting out some of his famous tunes and The Roots reminding me why I love live music. Look out for their new album, Wake Up! which covers great songs from the '60's and '70's, and check out images and video from the event below:


















    And check out BlackAtlas.com and tell us what you think! 




    Kisses,
