Read the original:

Source: MARTIN BUREAU / Getty Imagine a celebrity posting you on their social media page and it launches your career. Well, that’s the case for Ala’a Skyy. The 7-year-old model is now the newest ambassador for the natural haircare brand, The Mane Choice. The gorgeous model first caught our attention when Rihanna posted her on Instagram. Baring a striking resemblance to our favorite “Bad Gal,” the world quickly fell in love with her and the rest is history. The Mane Choice CEO and founder Courtney Adeleye couldn’t stop gushing over the young beauty in a statement. “Not only does she have an amazing attitude and work ethic at such a young age, she also loves her hair,” Adeleye shares. “She understands the benefits of using great products. It’s amazing!” View this post on Instagram Be prepared to receive exactly what you put out into the universe! Nothing happens by accident! It’s all apart of #GodsPlan One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time! Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them! Thank you @TheManeChoice for picking me and thank you @CourtneyAdeleye for flying me out to Las Vegas to see you and giving me one on one PRICELESS mentorship! I am so blessed beyond measure! I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise! As for now, it’s time to turn my straight hair back into my beautiful CURLS with #TropicalMoringa #AlaaSkyy x #TheManeChoice A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 4, 2019 at 6:49am PDT She shared her excitement via Instagram with a cute video singing, “I can’t wait to use my Tropical Moringa,” while holding two products from the Tropical Moringa Sweet Oil & Honey Endless Moisture Collection. Simply adorable! “One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time,” the caption read. “Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them!” She concluded the caption saying, “I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise!” While The Mane Choice is the young model’s first brand representative contract, she has already caught the attention of a beauty industry icon, Tyra Banks . According to BET, the beauty was offered a potential gig by Banks to audition for her ModelLand amusement park. “I lost my mind,” Tyra said. “ Rihanna looks like Tookie, the lead girl in the ModelLand story. Rihanna, I know you not gonna play Tookie. She might, you never know. But for this, I don’t think I’m necessarily going to get Rihanna for the movie. But I was like, we’re also looking for little girl Tookie. So I was like, that little girl looks like little girl Tookie, because Tookie’s also kind of inspired by me and my story.” Tyra added, “So I just became obsessed with this girl. I was like, ‘Help me! Who is this girl? Like, I want to find this girl and hopefully, possibly she can try out because she’s got to act and do all that stuff, to play little Tookie.” View this post on Instagram So many people said I inspired them today…..that in itself was a dream come true! Such an honor meeting so many beautiful people today and they all left with a smile! My mission is to leave a little sunshine everywhere I go! I have always been an expert selfie talker and today I became an expert usie taker #AlaaSkyy A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 10, 2019 at 5:38pm PDT   Ala’a is officially booked and busy! The young model is making her rounds just like a working model joining The Mane Choice at Beautycon LA this past weekend. Judging by the amount of love and support she received from fans and a growing Instagram following, her future in the beauty industry is looking very bright. The sky is definitely the limit for the star (pun intended). We can’t wait to see what this young queen has in store for us! Maybe a modeling contract with Wilhelmina or a Fenty Beauty campaign? The possibilities are truly endless!

Hey boo A post shared by Mara (@maarawriight) on Nov 28, 2017 at 3:11pm PST   In 2017, during the height of Moonlight ‘s  award season run, Rhodes was asked by Baller Alert if he was dating anyone, and he used his character, Black (aka, Chiron) as an example to explain his thoughts on how love works — and to say he was single. “When you find the one — I feel like love is on a scale of one to 10. We settle for sixes and sevens [that’s] why we get divorces,” he said. “But when you find your 10, why would you waste your time with anyone else? You bust your a– to get it, and keep it. It’s amazing.” Looks like Rhodes has found his 10, y’all. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Josh Duggar Is Breaking the Law Again: Will He FINALLY Go to Jail?!

When Josh Duggar molested five young girls , he avoided arrest and prosecution with the help of his parents. In the years since the scandal came to light, many Duggar fans have hoped that the long arm of the law would eventually catch up to Josh. According to a new report from Radar Online, Josh has once again been caught breaking the law . But it doesn’t look as though he’ll be imprisoned for his most recent infractions. The site claims that Wholesale Motorcars in Washington County, Arkansas — which Josh has managed since 2015 — has been operating without a permit for the entirety of his tenure. “We have one zoning designation in the county to allow single-family residential or agricultural uses,” a planning official in Washington County told Radar. “Anything else requires a conditional use permit to request a zoning change.” Officials claim Josh just started a business on non-commercial property without notifying the proper authorities. When a local fire marshal noticed Josh’s failure to obtain the proper licensing, he reported the father of five. As we’ve reported in the past, Josh is hated in his hometown , but his father, Jim Bob Duggar, still enjoys a tremendous amount of clout. As such, Josh was given a second chance to comply with the law. “The fire marshal wasn’t going to issue any more extensions,” the planning authority told Radar. “He was requiring that Josh make a good faith attempt, or make effort, toward receiving a review and permit approval, so that’s what he did.” And so, Josh was given time to apply for the mandatory permits and make the necessary repairs — of which there were many. Reports indicate that Josh didn’t display the building’s address anywhere on its exterior (a shady detail if ever there was one)/ Also, his property had no smoke detectors and was generally in a state of disrepair. Of course, the Duggars have violated local zoning laws before, most recently when Jim Bob attempted to open a “luxury RV park” without notifying local officials. Like Josh, Jim Bob was in no way held accountable for his violations. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Did She Get Pregnant to Save Josh’s Career?!

MODEL MONDAY: Iesha Hodges Is A New Kind Of Blonde Bombshell

View original post here:

Agency: Wilhelmina Models Instagram: @ieshahodgesofficial Claim to Fame: She’s has been snapped for Forever 21 , Nasty Gal , ASOS and others. She’s also ripped the runway for one of Cardi B .’s favs Christian Cowan, and won a V Magazine /Ford Model Search winner in January of 2014. There was a time when Barbie wasn’t brown . She didn’t have full lips , or a gap between her teeth. She didn’t have edge or energy, heck she wasn’t even anatomically correct. Then came women like Iesha Hodges. The model’s “ real beauty” has the very thing the commercial toy giant (not to mention the fashion industry ) has been accused of missing. When you see a platinum blonde doll sporting her face on her Instagram page you get it. It just feels right. She’s a new kind of blonde bombshell and her beauty is undeniable. Since breaking into the modeling business she’s been booked and busy with brands like Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs wanting to place her lovely features on front street. Still even she has been surprised at her own success. She was named one of Harper’s Bazaar faces to watch in 2017 and told the magazine, “ I was discovered at the age of 17 when I entered a modeling contest online. I had no clue that by submitting some photos of my teen self with shaved hair on the sides, a bad weave and poor background lighting would ever be the beginning of a beautiful journey.” That journey has allowed her to stick up for others. She says “redefining beauty standards ” is in her job description and devotes her time to mentoring “inspiring and empowering women and youth to follow their dreams.” Hodges is fittingly one of the fresh faces reviving Fila for a newer generation reclaiming the streetwear appropriated by Urban Outfitters devotees nationwide with ease. Considering the fact that she born and raised in Brooklyn (a place some consider the birth of streetwear), this too just feels right on time.  Check out Iesha Hodges walking in this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!  DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: Lashira Moné Looks Past The Struggle MODEL MONDAY: Asa Duger Combines Faith and Fashion MODEL MONDAY: Michell L.

US Weekly reports the 5’1 entrepreneur has added a new job to her resume! She’s not just a lawyer and a mortician, she’s now signed on with Wilhelmina Models, too. Go Phaedra. Phaedra says it’s a perfect time for her to start modeling because, why not??? Parks:  I think I’m the face of “yes you can.” I’m a small town girl who has followed her dreams. Yes you can be a mom, yes you can be a lawyer and yes you can be a model. When the opportunity presented itself some people asked me “Why?’ and I said “Why not?” A supermodel started this company and she wanted to give power back to the women and I think I stand for the same things . I have the opportunity to show people that beauty can come in every size, shade, color and age. It’s exciting and an adventure! Phaedra tells Stylish that her dream campaign would be for a skin care brand. Parks:  Well I would love be the face of skin care brand. I have great skin, I love makeup, but I love to be able to take off the makeup and have beautiful skin. I also think a lot of girls are looking on Instagram for an idealized standard of beauty that requires a lot of makeup. Those are not the faces of what real women look like. Congratulations Phaedra!

Chris Brown, Model? Singer Signs Contract With Premiere Agency

Chris Brown is embarking on a new phase of his career. The controversial, 23-year-old singer signed a modeling contract with Wilhelmina, WWD reports, in hopes of landing new fashion and beauty endorsements. “Art and style has always played a significant role in my life; it’s evolved with me throughout my career,” Brown said of his new gig in a statement. Three years after assaulting then-GF Rihanna, and despite a string of questionable actions since, Breezy is considered a marketable brand these days. “Chris Brown is a multifaceted artist with a unique take on style, and we are excited to translate and extend his brand,” said Taylor Hendrich, director of Wilhelmina Men. Brown said earlier this month that “I can’t hate people for making judgment on me or not liking me. I’m good with knowing everything isn’t always going to be perfect.” “All I can do is try to be better as a person .” Actions > Words. Just saying. Anywho, Rihanna ‘s and Karrueche ‘s co-BF joins the ranks of Wilhelmina’s other big-name celeb clients, including Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield and Keri Hilson.
