VH1 Divas!

Last night my cousin and I headed to the VH1 Divas concert in NYC. We were wowed by great performances: Jill Scott, Mary J Blige, Ledisi (whose voice I've grown to love -- not the screaming part but her incredible range), Jennifer Hudson and more.
As Common walked by me, I was so tempted to reach out and touch, but I didn't want security to throw me out into the bitter cold so I restrained myself. Common is too sexy for himself. I have to admit that I joined the Common fan club late, because although I've always known how talented he is, I didn't fall in such deep like until "Just Wright". I think his humble demeanor makes him extra sexy!
Highlights for me: Chaka Khan (who I want to be my momma or my aunt), BoyzIIMen, who haven't lost their swag at all, and my girl Marsha Ambrosius, who did her thang on the Back2Life medley.

Chaka Khan, Mavis Staples and Erykah Badu (this outfit works on you Erykah!)

Mary J WORKED this white dress, as her hubby looked on in admiration just a few feet away from us.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit Mary!
