The day before photo shoots and red carpets , I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back .Sometimes on the red carpet or at photo shoots my makeup artist uses face tape to give my eyes , skin and makeup more lift . Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes .Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look .Makeup can do magical things ! So can great eyebrows ! So can a great hairstylist ! So can great underthings !These photos I have no makeup and there is no editing or filters on these photos but I do have a spray tan ! 😆 I have spider veins ( 🕷️😮) and they remind me of my mom and aunties and life so I think that’s why I haven’t parted with them so far ❤️My New Year’s message for 2025, is express yourself freely , celebrate your individuality and know that it’s perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror , and it’s also OK to want something different . We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs .PS- this post is not intended to hate on anyone, I am just joining the storytelling community and this story is MINE 🫶🏼’The singer has made it very clear all the industry tips and tricks that she uses to present a certain image of her body – including body make up, tape and photo editing as well as pro make up artists and hair stylists.

Courntey Ann Platt, who was friends with Boss and Allison, has taken shots at Holker on social media for her “careless” and “tacky” move. Platt claims the decision to ‘exploit’ his journals after his death is “by far the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life.”tWitch’s family has also been vocal on social media: tWitch’s family are disputing her claims that the 40-year-old had a dr*g problem and claim that it was in fact Allison that has the substance addiction. Star of Real Housewives of Potomac, Candiace Dillard Bassett also defended the late choreographer, writing:  “This white woman is doing everything BUT protecting her Black children and her Black husband’s legacy.
