About: Fly + Intellect
Mz Coko likes being Fly... and Mz Coko likes talking about stuff other than clothes... cuz that's what 'Intellectuals' do. Plus Mz Coko has a slight case of ADD and can not stay on one topic... so whatever Mz Coko feels like talking about (something along the lines of fashion and black folk issues) is what is gonna get talked about.

The Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities of 2007
I just thought it was interesting that the 2 top celebrities that were the most powerful on the Forbes list were black...

Of course number 1 was Ms. Oprah Winfrey

Ms. Winfrey made $260 million this year. She ranks #1 in the web and on TV. Her press rank is a 7. Oprah is a fly 54 might I add... but I guess you have no choice but to be fly when you're a billionaire eh?

#2 is Tiger Woods

Tiger brought in $100 million... He ranks 4th in pay amongst celebrities, 16 in web, 3 in Press and TV. He is the first athlete (no matter what race) in HISTORY to make $100 million in one year. He earned it with his Nike deal, by demanding $3 million per game, and he signed a new deal with Gillete. Go 'head Tiger.

Other blacks include:
#9 Jay-Z

Making $83 million this year partially from selling his Rocawear clothing line to Iconix for $204 million and his new album, Kingdom Come.... can't forget about the NJ Nets and his 40/40 Clubs. Jay Z's Pay rank is #7, Web rank 10, Press rank 47, and TV/Radio rank 50.... I don't get that last one but.. i guess it's not for me to understand..

#23 Kobe Bryant

Kobe brought in a good $33 million this year.. from basketball, Sony endorsement deals... and having the best selling jersey...Pay rank #26, Web rank 66, Press 28, and TV/radio 30.

#25 Shaq Daddy!

He made a cool $32 million... so I know his wife is definitely NOT worried about that pre-nup.. cuz child support.. oh child support will be enough.

And the rest are...

#32 50 Cent (this does not include the sale of Vitamin water) but he did bring in $33 million... I suppose he will be at the top next year.
#34 Justin Timberlake... just thought I'd throw in that blue eyed soul..
#35 Michael Jordan with $31 million
#43 Diddy with $23 million... I didn't know he executive produced Run's House... one of my favorite shows...
#48 LeBron James
#57 Will Smith with $31 million
#61 Tyra Tyra Banks with $18 million
#69 The newly fly and newly pregnant Serena Williams

Just thought ya'll wanted to know... go to www.forbes.com for the rest of the list...

I'm peeking in and dropping some heavy stuff on you guys.
As you know, I'm back in school... and when school starts... my life pretty much stops... I haven't even partied yet(that's a big deal for me LOL). Anyway... I just hope you all are supporting the Jena 6. If you don't know what it is... KILL YOURSELF.. come back from the dead... then google it. LOL.
But honestly, this is no laughing matter. Sign the petition to support them:

How much have you heard about Kanye and 50's beef.. Britney Spears wack comeback performance, Michael Vick and them dog fights? A lot? Thought so. I don't know if anyone has heard of Megan Williams, because I haven't. But then again, I have been living under a rock for the past month. One of my good friends at school sent this to my Facebook inbox. Megan Williams was missing, when she was found she was sexually abused, beat, and stabbed by 6 whites. For more information on this story please visit: Black and Missing but not forgotten. It has a lot of coverage on the story. If the media isn't putting a spotlight on it... I guess we should. I dont know if I'm late or not, but I'm still posting.

Last but not least, I got this in my e-mail about a missing child. I believe the family sent it out themselves with their phone numbers:
Racharel Strong (father) - 404-357-1881
Simona Strong (mother) - 404-313-4255
Tiesa Locklear (aunt) - 678-234-4902
Tramesa Locklear (aunt) 678-480-1635
Ursala Williams (aunt) 678-362-5246

She is so precious:





I don't know if she has been found or what. But, I decided I would post it.

OverDose on BLACK FASHION
OOOOOOOOkkkkkkkkk.... so... Fashion week was lastweek and I'm hitting you with some of the pieces from all the black designer's spring 2008 collections. This is a serious overdose so get READY.

First up we have Tracy Reese's collection.


You could never catch me wearing this dress.


This picture itself is sooo adorable.

I love this coat, the detail is just gorgeous and it's gold... gotta love it.

Fly business attire


I love her twist on the pinstripe skirt suit

If you bought this collectively, you very well may be the flyest thing on the beach however... if you attempt to wear that purple rug by itself...

you may end up looking a damn mess like she does.


Not feeling it.

But I'm Loving this... I *heart* color... and splashes of bright color.

This high-waisted pant suit has got to be THE flyest thing out of all the designers. It is MY FAVORITE piece.

All in all... I like Tracy Reese's collection. The hats are what set it off for me.

Next up we have Rachel Roy... Dame Dash's dame.












*loves it










Love this white dress.




I just love this dress! Looks really good on her too.




The collection overall is rather blah to me. If you have any curve to you whatsoever then... these clothes may not work for you. There isn't enough color here.. I love color. But when she does color... its popping... I do give her that. I dunno who she's making clothes for... but it ain't for me. Moving on.


Next up we have Mr. Stephen Burrows. He's been in the game for quite some time. Decades. I absolutely LOVE him and his collection was my favorite (along with Tracy Reese... that red suit.. man)!!!

My darkskinned people, hot pink is your friend! Fierceness

I love this mod dress.


This is gorgeous! If you can rock a green highlighter colored dress... please do.

Orange is my FAVORITE color.









I like the dress... but let's focus on this model for 1 sec. Besides she needs to eat a few nice hearty meals of beans and cornbread... her calves look bigger than her thighs.. ODD.

I dont like this so much.

I love it because it's classic and colorful. I love COLOR!

Next up we have the Kai Milla collection.. by Stevie Wonder's wife. She is an excellent designer... Love her!! She's right up there in the fav cloud lol.












Milla
I pretty much found EVERY SINGLE PIECE of her collection fierce. I didn't like the fact that there was only 1 black model and 1 asian model... but she does feature minority models in other shows... and I'm sure this isn't the whole collection. Even though there are no bright vibrant colors like i like... Nothing can replace black.... and her formal dresses are FAB-U-LOUS! NEhoo...

I would post the Baby Phat pix but... I have waaaaayyyy too many of them. They need their own post.... TRUST ME To get more Fashion week pix... um... google it. LOL... but no.. The Fashion Bomb has a lot of shots from there... so go check them out. And I'm outta here!
