Like Fine Wine : Phylicia Rashad


Phylicia Rashad is an American award winning actress.

Long time mother figure to a whole TV generation as Claire Huxtable on the Cosby Show (making some wish they could be her child and some husbands hope she could be their wife lol). I believe, this Godess played a role that reflected her real life persona. Her cultural awareness, the way she carried herself, her charm, her smile, her natural beauty, her calm yet firm voice, the grace in her movements... ahh she's just great. A spark you just did not see in other women of her generation.

We never saw another TV mother like her.



One mold I wish was never broken!

Another Actress : Rachel McAdams


Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress.

Besides being pretty, a brunette and Canadian, the thing that attracts me the most to her is her full-on smile. First time I actually heard of her is from the whole buzz about this little movie called 'The Notebook' (which I still haven't seen, but that pretty much every girl has told me I should watch... simply because it made them cry lol).

First time I noticed her was in 'Red Eye', the first part of the movie, you just see her talking on the phone with different people and being really nice... yup, that's it. A nice smile on a nice person, that does it for me.

She is the kind of girl you present to your parents and they just fall in love with her right away. Definitely girlfriend material.

Another Actress : Monica Raymund



Monica Raymund is an American actress.

Fresh out of acting college (Julliard), she just got her big break in this year's new hit show 'Lie To Me' (really worth checking out!). She is a breath of fresh air in the tv world. Young, pretty, sexy without having to take her clothes off. I like the intensity in her eyes, the assertiveness. I especially like it on the show when she walks down those halls with a wicked confident stroll.



I am looking forward to see her more often on tv, the show just got picked up for a second season and I have high hopes she will get noticed and have roles in high profile movies.

We don't see her smile often on the tv show, but she has a great one, check out the interview below.




I would never lie to her!

I'm In Love With A... Singer : Alicia Keys


Alicia Keys is an American Soul/R&B singer, musician & sometimes actress.

A superwoman yes indeed! She can sing, play the piano and shake it all about at the same time (yeah those hips don't lie). We all knew she had talent when she came out with her first single 'Fallin', but I was afraid she was just a gimmick and couldn't really play the piano. She proved me wrong. This Grammy Award winner is a true hip hop fan at heart and from her latest appearances on award shows, she is all about gathering & unity (see the BET Awards in '08 when she graced us with forgotten musical heavy hitters SWV, En Vogue & TLC). Oh and let's not forget she's down with Reggae & Dancehall too.

I like the fact that even though she got in the business at a young age, she never crossed certain boundaries (Yes, u can be sexy with ur clothes on! Shout out to Chritina Aguilera do you!).

Classy is the word!



Check the video, check the class & the grace. This vid is like an ode to Spike Lee's 'School Daze' movie, cameos from Derek Luke, Michael from the Wire, Anthony Hamilton & Al Be Back. Shout out to that crazy dancing chick with the old school schmoves (clickaty klow!).
