HIP-HOP HEADS INK DEAL WITH FRAGRANCE COMPANY

It’s a Smelly Day for Hip-hop Celebrities... which is not particularly a bad thing. Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West all got fragrance deals this week, when Iconic Fragrances, LLC (where Jay-Z is a principal) signed an agreement with Parlux. Also part of the contract is the announcement of an upcoming scent with a "well-established female artist." Considering it's Jay-Z's deal and he's married to Beyoncé, let's read between the lines on that one. As for Jay-Z and Kanye making their big move into beauty, we like how they're giving Diddy some hearty competition. May the best metrosexual rapper win!

Now this is what I’m talking about. If I was on the train or walking down the street with my head down. I’d want to see the face of the woman wearing these sick ass shoes. These joints let you know - she knows what time it is. Hats off to Anne Slowey. Good job!
