"SWV" Prepares To Reemerge On The Scene With A Derek Blank Photo Shoot Crispy & Clean
90's group "Sistas With Voices" (SWV) are headed back to the studio and are all grown up. They've totally revamped their tom-boy image and have emerged from the cocoon like beautiful butterflies. LeLee, Coko, and Taj still perform nostalgically in venues but as Cocko reported on her blog site "SWV" continues.
"Carmello Anthony" Sets The Record Straight On Marrying "LaLa Vasquez" In "Latina Magazine"
“Even with all that I’ve accomplished on my own,” says Alani “La La” Vazquez in the April 2010 issue of Latina magazine, “I know the story out there about me: ‘[Carmelo] ain’t gonna marry her. She got that ring but now he’s making her wait. He don’t really love her…’ For once…I’d like to tell the story as it is. Not as it’s told.”
“I wasn’t making her wait,” Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony tells Latina magazine of La La, his fiancée. “If anything, I was waiting for her to slow down. She was doing her own thing, handling her business and we were happy. When it was time to take it to the next step we did. Period.”
So has he ever doubted for a minute that La La Vazquez is Mrs. Right, one with life, mindset (and bank account) of her own? Melo speaks slowly, but surely: “ I wouldn’t be with her if it was any other way.” “Understood?”
Lala talks about how "Carmello" and her got engaged.
“It was Christmas Eve,” La La remembers. “We were in bed. And he said, La La, I love you. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?”
30 year old "LaLa Vasquez" clears the air and tells it like it t-i-s. When talking about her multimillionaire baller fiancé Carmelo Anthony.
“I don’t think people understand how hard I’ve worked to achieve the things I have,” she tells Latina.
"LaLa" speaks on backlash from the article she wrote about being a Puerto Rican woman.
“The essay,” she says solemnly. “The responses hurt.” She’s speaking of a first person piece she recently wrote for Latina.com on being Puerto Rican, in which she explained that, since childhood, people have often assumed that she is black. “Which I am!” she says, almost yelling. “But I am also 100 percent Puerto Rican and I’m proud of that. People got it twisted and thought I was saying, I’’m Puerto Rican. I’m not black. That isn’t what I was saying. It’s just that when I tell someone I’m Puerto Rican, I don’t want to hear someone say, ‘You ain’t Puerto Rican. You black.’ As if I can only be one or the other. Do I look like Jennifer Lopez? No. Clearly, I’m a black woman. However you want to define that, that’s what I am. And I’m also a Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican woman. Period.”
