There have been many books about style and glamour featuring movie stars, socialites, fashion models – and it is rare that you find a balanced representation, if any, of black women in that mix. Vintage Black Glamour is a forthcoming book and visual tribute to some of the glamorous, accomplished and often groundbreaking black women - legendary and obscure - of the 20th century.
Nichelle Gainer launched Anovelista.com in 2005. A blog about books and writing, the arts and cultural history, Anovelista.com was originally a personal blog. It has now expanded to include social media and coverage of cultural news and events.
Launched in 2006, 55 Secret Street is a beauty and fashion blog for the multi-faceted woman who is also interested in home & design, food & wine, the arts and culture. She is the iconoclast - more concerned with cultivating her own individual style instead of mimicking the latest celebrity fad or status symbol.
Revenge of the Curves is a Beauty, Health and Fitness blog for curvaceous women who want to keep it that way. The blog also features our very own Medical Columnist, Mana Kasongo, M.D., who answers women’s health questions in her column, Ask Dr. Kasongo.
Nichelle tags along with her novelist friend Tayari Jones on a visit to the beautiful Cozbi boutique in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn.
