COVERGIRL: Solange Knowles for Lucky Magazine
One of my favorite girls, Solange Knowles, is on the cover of Lucky Magazine for August 2014 and I'm beyond excited. Outside of there being a beautiful woman of color on the cover, it's refreshing to see read a piece where Solange is not being positioned as a violent lunatic.
For months, Solange Knowles was a villain. An uncontrollable alcoholic that no one could tame, even her ex-drug dealer brother-in-law. Reading about her different style phases (including harajuku and rastafari) and how she tried to wear a tutu and tap shoes to her father's corporate function gave me a chuckle. Hearing that Sol was a bright, colorful vision on a bike in New Orleans made me feel good. Knowing that she's enjoying having space and ingesting the culture, working on a new album - I'm happy.
Though Solange does make a mention of the elevator incident, "that thing" as she refers to it, she moves on quickly from it.
