The Beauty Sleuth

I came across this little clip of Karl Lagerfeld and Grammy nominated artist, Janelle Monáe, who recently had the pleasure of meeting fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld during a show in Russia.  Ms. Monáe is an incredibly huge talent, packaged up in an itty-bitty package. She is pure dynamo. Her silky smooth voice (when she speaks it reminds me of voices from generations ago, deep, rich and provocative) and innate style make her one of my favorite performers out there today. Who needs to shake you money tree, or be bootilicious or any of the other tag-lines that are associated with the plethora of identikit female performers these days, when you can pull it together like Ms. Monáe. Her stand-out style demands that you take notice of her and believe me when I say we have. Quoting Mr. Lagerfeld, “ Her way to move is unique and remembers nobody else…It’s really something she invented “

Check out the link below for the meeting to witness them discuss their affinity for dressing in black and white and to hear what the great Karl Lagerfeld had to say about Ms. Monáe.

I have also a link to one of my favorite videos of her, called Tightrope which has an old school video vibe (you remember, when they made music videos that were innovative and perfection )
