Rich Black Bougie Baddies Of The 90’s

Unbothered, beautiful, rich black women with trauma free narratives, yes please. Showcasing us in different lights, because we’re multifaceted humans with a spectrum of narratives. A long ways from being pigeonholed as the help. Ain’t no mammies here henny, trust. They’ll buy your life.

A round of applause to Whitley Gilbert, Lisa Turtle, Dionne Davenport and Hillary Banks, for being bad and bougie personified. Style queens who inspire generations. They learned from Dominque Deveraux of course. These characters are intelligent, stylish, possess high self-esteem, and will max out any credit card. Self-assured and inexorable, they had premium standards when it came to suitors. Thank you for your service. Did Ciara Miller miss the memo (read Stop Blanketing Black Women’s Dating Lives)? I digress. Rich black queens on the wall, who is the bougiest of them all? Via: WhitleyFashions, Lark_Voorhies_Fan_Page, Pinterest & Curly Nikki

Halloween Inspo: Hilary Banks

A carefree black girl. Hilary Banks was a beautiful, rich, fabulous, slutty, successful socialite. An underrated sex positive feminist icon. Sure she was superficial, but nobody loved Hilary more than Hilary meaning she never settled. She didn’t validate herself through men, making them earn it. To embody Ms. Banks played by Karyn Parsons you must have the following: a bowler hat, a standout blazer donned with a brooch or flower for extra points, signature curls, a skirt and a purse. A 90’s queen, that decade was just a vibe. Which Hilary would you base your look on? Via: Fresh Prince Forever
