Happy Birthday Diana Ross

Happy Birthday Ms Diana Ross

To me, Ms. Diana Ross is an icon; she is beautiful, elegant and daring all at the same time. 

Born March 26th, 1944 in Detroit, Michigan Ms Ross came to fame as the lead singer of the legendary R&B group, The Supremes founded by Motown Records in 1960. The Surpremes were inducted into the Rock n' Roll hall of fame in 1988.

Ms Ross released her debut solo album in 1970. Diana Ross also ventured into acting and received a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination for Lady Sings the Blues, a story on Blues singer Billie Holiday. She also stared in films like Mahogany and The Wiz, noticeably known as the black Wizard of Oz along with Michael Jackson and many other films that have touched people's hearts. 
Ms. Diana Ross in many ways is FASHION. Those eyes, That hair and one can never forget thoses outfits. Ms. Ross has been the face of countless magazine covers from Ebony and Essence to Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. She has mesmerized them all.




My love for Diana Ross is simple, she was a brown skin black woman from the hood, like myself who made everything in my eyes look graceful. I look at older women as wise women and my goal is to one day be able to mimic their grace. She is the ritzy fashion I wish I could have lived to see. Ms Diana Ross is around the age of my grandparents and although she was from Detroit and my grandparents were from Indiana she reminds me of the elegant styles I've seen my grandmother shine in. In those day, half stepping wasn't a thing. Fashion was hot and everyone had a style of their own.
Happy Birthday Ms. Diana Ross and thank you for being a woman much like rubies.

6 Fun Fashion Facts About Tali

This is the style edition of "Fun Facts" by Tali Hello there, Today, I decided to share some fun facts about myself.  Why?  Well, because I felt like it and I figured why not? so here we go... A fun yet obvious fact about me is that I love fashion, but I don't just love clothes I also love to design clothes, lingerie and jewelry,  really anything fashion related... duh. right? NO, seriously I really do. I started to design clothing in middle school with my friend and we would draw ball gowns and wedding dresses. I love unique jewelry. One thing I've noticed about myself, is that I don't like to wear the same type of jewelry with every outfit. I need to switch it up from time to time. I also don't like to have the same jewelry as everyone else. so if I buy a necklace set it is very unlikely that i will wear it when the "trend followers" where it. As a child, I learned that a blazer it everything!  My mom pasted down that "dress to im...

Allow me to re-introduce myself

BABY LET ME TELL YOU, (In my New Orleans voice)   I must admit when I first start writing this "about me" post, I froze up. It is so much easier to write about other people or do research on a current events than it is to write about yourself. Perhaps life has truly humbled me. Often I found myself in a battle of deciding what is important to say and if this sounds professional-- ultimately, I've questioned myself "is it perfect?" I've written articles, stories, Q&A's and plenty of paragraphs about myself and nothing has honestly seemed right.  However, I am learning that it doesn't have to be perfect the first time around and I am affirming that everything will fall into place. "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." Hi, I'm Tali Payne and this is website is my re-entrance into the world of writing and broadcast. This site has been an on-and-off thing for over 10 year, I...
