<p>It&#8217;s what you all been waiting for, ain&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>New vocals for the late Aaliyah season Chris Brown&#8217;s new laid-back cut &#8220;They Don&#8217;t Know.&#8221; Against a Compton backdrop, Breezy sings to a lady friend (Karrueche, maybe?) about letting their relationship thrive without the gossip of others. Although the message gets a little lost on this airy homage to Jon B&#8217;s popular 90s record, the dancer-slash-singer also says the song is inspiration to ignore haters.</p>
<p>“Hope this new single inspires change and unity,&#8221; he tweeted. &#8220;Life is a Gift. I love doing what I do. All the little things count!”</p>
<p>Press play to get a full dose of Baby Girl and Breezy above.</p>

<p>Aaliyah&#8217;s music continues to live on through some of today&#8217;s biggest stars. On Tuesday (May 14), Chris Brown announced that the late singer would appear on &#8220;They Don&#8217;t Know,&#8221; the follow up single to &#8220;Fine China.&#8221; Fans can expect to hear never before heard vocals and see an accompanying video that was recently shot in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>“I shot it in the ‘hood. I went to 60th Street and Cedar Block. [I'm] bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from. I’m from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke—I remember when I was,&#8221; he told reporters at the 2013 BET Awards press conference.</p>
<p>Chris&#8217; musical (and personal) nemesis Drake announced last year that he would produce Aaliyah&#8217;s posthumous album with a to-be-determined release date. It will be interesting to see whose single garners more listens.</p>

<p><a title="Sevyn: Third Time’s A Charm" href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/12/sevyn-third-times-a-charm/">Sevyn Streeter</a> is a rising jewel of the business. The singer-slash-songwriter took a step back from her &#8220;I Like It&#8221; success to cover late singer Aaliyah&#8217;s &#8220;Come Over.&#8221; Backed up by a (cutie!) guitarist, the acoustic version does the fan-favorite track justice.</p>

<p>Katy Perry channeled her inner &#8220;California Gurl&#8221; in 2010 with this glittery Zuhar Murad mini dress. Paired with Smurfette-like blue hair, this is the perfect reflection of Katy&#8217;s bubbly personality.</p>

<p>Lil Mama&#8217;s fashion choices have often been criticized. However, this Sherri Hill dress made her a best dressed nominee on the 2011 red carpet.</p>

<p>Aaliyah was known for her tomboy chic style, but she could also look like a princess. This understated black dress showed off her beautiful shape in 2000.</p>

<p>With the cast for Vh1&#8242;s upcoming <a title="Untitled TLC Biopic for VH1, Now Casting" href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/11/untitled-tlc-biopic-for-vh1-now-casting/">TLC biopic</a> filled and <a title="Zoe Saldana to Play Nina Simone in Singer’s Biopic" href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/08/zoe-saldana-to-play-nina-simone-in-singers-biopic/">Nina Simone&#8217;s biopic</a> on the way, Hollywood is taking full advantage of telling the 360-degree story of our favorite entertainers. THe biographical films allow us to see what happens when the cameras stop rolling and what&#8217;s behind closed doors. Since celebrities aren&#8217;t rushing to sit on our couch and easily open up to us anytime soon, we&#8217;d jump at the chance to see their story.</p>
<p>Flip the page to see some of our favorite Vixens who deserve their own personal close-up.</p>

<p><strong>Michelle Obama</strong></p>
<p>Vixen is #TeamObama! We admire the nation&#8217;s First Couple, with a lot of extra love for <strong>Michelle Obama</strong>. We&#8217;d pay top dollar to get the full story on FLOTUS&#8217; childhood, how she met and later married <strong>Barack Obama, </strong>and how she navigates the life of being the First Lady. Our suggestion: The best person to play the POTUS would be <em>Scandal</em>&#8216;s own <strong>Kerry Washington</strong> since she exudes leading lady attributes.<!--nextpage--></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/09/7-celebrities-who-should-appear-on-iyanla-fix-my-life/vibe-vixen-lauryn-hill/" rel="attachment wp-att-32307"><img src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Vibe-Vixen-Lauryn-Hill.jpg" alt="Lauryn Hill" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32307" height="300" width="300" /></a>Lauryn Hill</strong></p>
<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t want to see a biopic done on Ms. Hill? If she allowed someone to make her life into a story, hip-hop fans would rejoice. Considering she has six kids, any one of her daughters can play a young Lauryn with ease. <strong>Nona Gaye</strong> can take the adult role and give it justice.</p>

<p>She&#8217;s the most talked about Vixen of our time. Far from America&#8217;s sweetheart, RiRi&#8217;s career has been through enough to make for an epic tale of love, drugs, and music. Why not show off her bad side on screen and give Instagram a rest?<strong> </strong></p>

<p><strong>Jada Pinkett-Smith</strong></p>
<p>Before Mrs. Smith was handling her business in the movie industry, she was a confidante to one of the greatest rappers of all times, <strong>Tupac</strong> <strong>Shakur.</strong> She ventured into music, acting, producing and is now raising star-studded children. Not to mention, her and Will are an entertainment power couple.  Jada has come a long way from her <em>A Different World</em> days, and it&#8217;s only right that we fully learn her story on the big screen.<strong></strong><!--nextpage--></p>

<p>Seeing O&#8217;s life play out on screen would probably be one of the most inspirational movies to have been done. It would be great to see Oprah&#8217;s transition from a poverty-stricken teen to one of the richest women in the world. We would definitely take notes.<strong> </strong><!--nextpage--></p>

<p><strong>Aaliyah</strong> may have passed before her time, but her legacy still lives on today. The songstress started trends and raised music standards while she was alive. Worth an HBO package or movie ticket at any point.</p>

<p>MJB has used her voice to help heal herself and others while defining hip-hop and gaining much respect through the years. We&#8217;ve listened to her story through her music but we&#8217;re ready to see it on the big screen. Every piece of this singer&#8217;s puzzle is worth a scene in her own biopic.<!--nextpage--><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/?attachment_id=46635" rel="attachment wp-att-46635"><img src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Vibe-Vixen-Ruby-Dee.jpg" alt="Ruby Dee" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46635" height="538" width="400" /></a><strong>Ruby Dee</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ruby Dee</strong> was influential during the civil rights movement and remained relevant through generations.  She was one of the original bad girl in Hollywood, demanding respect as a black actress and shaping the definition of &#8220;power couple&#8221; with her 50-plus year marriage to actor <strong>Ossie Davis</strong>.  It would be beautiful to see her biopic, not only as a history lesson but as a true love story.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-large wp-image-42062 aligncenter" title="VIBE Vixen Aaliyah Haughton Style Icon" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/VIBE-Vixen-Aaliyah-Haughton-Style-Icon-600x285.png" alt="" width="600" height="285" /></p>
<p>As if her vocals and depth defying falsettos weren’t enough, <a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/tag/aaliyah/" target="_blank"><strong>Aaliyah’s </strong></a>style has proven to be nothing less than timeless–a clear testament to how momentous the extent her indelible influence was and continues to be two decades after she first stepped onto the scene.</p>
<p>The Brooklyn-born bombshell created a style for herself&#8211;fashioned after actress <strong>Veronica Lake</strong> and British soul singer <a title="50 Shades of Sade: The Beauty Icon’s Best Photos" href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/10/50-shades-of-sade/" target="_blank"><strong>Sade</strong></a>&#8211;that continues to resonate with fans and industry darlings alike. From baggy jeans to midriff tops, her signature look drew a flawless and infallible line between subtle and sexy. An effortless side bang surrounded by long tresses and a face hidden behind over-sized shades, characterized by sheer mystery, completed her image. Managing to give a little without giving too much, she left something to be desired. The multi-platinum selling artist left a plethora of women re-creating her look and even established her as <strong>Tommy Hilfiger’s</strong> fashion muse. “Being true to yourself. You should shine through what you wear,” Aaliyah said  during a circa-2000 interview with VIBE.</p>
<p>Her trendsetting style only elevated to a higher level when her look began to reflect personal maturity and growth in music. From the time she debuted <em>Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number</em> to the release of her eponymous album <em>Aaliyah</em>, she went from rocking boxers and over-sized sunglasses to donning gowns and accessories courtesy of Roberto Cavalli, Prada, Gucci and more. We can only imagine the countless campaigns the star would have posed for today–including the likes of Givenchy, Tom Ford and Cover Girl.<em></em></p>
<p>On what would have been the singer&#8217;s 34<sup>th</sup> birthday, we’ve labeled <strong>Aaliyah </strong>a Style Icon. Flip the pages for artistic interpretations of fashions that she would have graced today, and check out our <a title="Style Evolution: Aaliyah" href="http://www.vibevixen.com/photos/style-evolution-aaliyah-2/">Style Icon&#8217;s Evolution here</a>! –<em>Kamille Cooper</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-vixen-menswear-for-woman.png" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear for woman"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37150" title="Menswear for woman" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-vixen-menswear-for-woman.png" alt="Menswear for woman" width="600" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">Long before fashion powerhouses&#8211;including Jil Sander, Dolce &amp; Gabbana and Lanvin&#8211;began creating menswear-inspired collections for women, women had been borrowing from men’s fashion for ages. <strong>TLC</strong>, <strong>Aaliyah</strong>, <strong>Janelle Monae</strong> and <strong>Rihanna</strong> have proved over time that in more ways than one anything guys can wear, women can certainly style better and rock harder. Baggy pants, jerseys, timberlands and tuxedos are amongst the fashions some of these women have borrowed from the guys and made it into their own. True to form, the style they donned with a masculine touch became some of their signature looks resonating through fashion, standing the test of time.</p>
<p>Take a look at our list of the top 12 women who made menswear hot!<!--nextpage--></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-janet-jackson-menswear.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Janet Jackson"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37151" title="Menswear Janet Jackson" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-janet-jackson-menswear.jpeg" alt="Menswear Janet Jackson" width="500" height="371" /></a>Janet Jackson</strong></p>
<p>Never the one to shy away from expressing herself, not only through music but fashion as well, The &#8220;Rhythm Nation” bombshell styled out in military jackets, leather jackets, long tailored blazers and bowties in her early days. Opting for more feminine and elegant looks in this new decade, re-envisioned versions of her 80’s and 90’s style is very much present in fashion today.<!--nextpage--></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Salt-n-Pepa-Spinderella.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Salt n Pepa Spinderella"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-37145" title="Menswear Salt n Pepa Spinderella" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Salt-n-Pepa-Spinderella.jpeg" alt="Menswear Salt n Pepa Spinderella" width="391" height="353" /></a>Salt, Pepa and Spinderella</strong></p>
<p>Pushing style to mere limits, like it was nobody’s business, was one of hip-hop’s first female rap trios favorite things to do. In a male-dominated industry, Salt-n-Pepa and Spinderella put a fiery and feminine touch on a few men’s fashion, which included varsity jackets.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-TLC.jpg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear TLC"><img class="alignright  wp-image-37147" title="Menswear TLC" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-TLC.jpg" alt="Menswear TLC" width="380" height="476" /></a>TLC</strong></p>
<p>These crazy, sexy, cool women were among the few, alongside <strong>Da Brat,</strong> who paved the way and made it hot to rock men’s clothing in the music industry during the early 90s. The funky fresh and vibrant color palette of menswear the trio became known for included boxers and baggy shirts and just seemed to work.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-mesnwear-Aaliyah.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Mesnwear Aaliyah"><img class="alignright  wp-image-37148" title="Mesnwear Aaliyah" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-mesnwear-Aaliyah-600x861.jpeg" alt="Mesnwear Aaliyah" width="432" height="620" /></a>Aaliyah</strong></p>
<p>Aaliyah’s signature look of baggy pants, mid-drift tops and over sized sunglasses on her petite frame was street but sweet. The sexual innuendo and mysterious undertone of her look had many women recreating her style and turning it into their own such as <strong>Ciara</strong> and <strong>Teyana Taylor</strong>. When it came to women stunting in menswear the &#8220;One in a Million&#8221; singer and her musical partner in crime, <strong>Missy Elliot</strong>, were trendsetters.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Janelle-Monae.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Janelle Monae"><img class="alignright  wp-image-37141" title="Menswear Janelle Monae" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Janelle-Monae.jpeg" alt="Menswear Janelle Monae" width="418" height="564" /></a>Janelle Monae</strong></p>
<p>The dapper darling and <a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/08/janelle-monae-named-newest-covergirl/">Cover Girl</a> has been rocking tuxedos, oxfords and loafers ever since she stepped onto the music scene. “I wear my uniform to honor them,” the star crediting her signature style to her mom, step-father and father. Her signature look, which she noted at 2012 Black Girls Rock, is “a reminder that I have work to do. I have people to uplift. I have people to inspire.” Her fashion game is stylishly proper.<!--nextpage--></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Solange.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Solange"><img class="size-full wp-image-37146 aligncenter" title="Menswear Solange" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Solange.jpeg" alt="Menswear Solange" width="400" height="600" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Solange Knowles</strong></p>
<p>Since <strong>Solange</strong>’s style evolved, the natural-haired beauty has become somewhat of a style icon. A few of her notable and bold looks have certainly consisted of menswear inspired pieces including feminine tuxedo jackets and oversized blazers.<!--nextpage--></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Beyonce.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Beyonce"><img class="alignright  wp-image-37139" title="Menswear Beyonce" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-Menswear-Beyonce.jpeg" alt="Menswear Beyonce" width="400" height="400" /></a>Beyoncé  Knowles-Carter</strong></p>
<p>Sure King B’s known for her extravagant sense of <a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/11/10-powerful-celebrity-stylists-running-the-fashion-game/6/">style</a>, donning some of the most coveted designer gowns known to man, but she’s also been known to dabble in guy-inspired fashions too. One of her most notable moments, after all, was at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards when she performed &#8220;Love on Top&#8221; in a purple and gold sequin <strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana</strong> masculine tuxedo and announced her <a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2011/08/beyonce-confirms-pregnancy-at-mtv-video-music-awards/">pregnancy</a>.<!--nextpage--></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Ciara.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Ciara"><img class="wp-image-37140 aligncenter" title="Menswear Ciara" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Ciara.jpeg" alt="Menswear Ciara" width="352" height="514" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Ciara</strong></p>
<p>Long before her hit single debut, Ciara never shied away from styling <em>like a boy</em>. When she first stepped onto the music scene back in 2003, she was all about crop tops and baggy pants.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-teyana-taylor-fashion-issue3.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Teyana Taylor"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-37149" title="Menswear Teyana Taylor" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-teyana-taylor-fashion-issue3-300x450.jpeg" alt="Menswear Teyana Taylor" width="300" height="450" /></a>Teyana Taylor</strong></p>
<p>Paying homage to a few of the forementioned before her in an <a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/2012/09/teyana-taylor-g-o-o-d-girl-ghetto-chic/">interview with VV</a>, speaking on her street style <strong>Teyana </strong>stated, “I do feel like I influenced [the style]. I made it okay for female artists to be comfortable in their skin, to be comfortable in street wear, to not always be glamorous 24/7.&#8221; The ghetto chic G.O.O.D Music girl has been known to kick it in a pair of Jordans and snapbacks.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/vibe-vixen-rihanna-diamonds.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Rihanna Diamonds"><img class="alignright  wp-image-32539" title="Rihanna Diamonds" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/vibe-vixen-rihanna-diamonds.jpeg" alt="Rihanna Diamonds" width="420" height="260" /></a>Rihanna</strong></p>
<p>When she’s not rocking the red carpet, she’s been spotted a few times styled down, rocking men’s plaid button down shirts around her waist, frequenting Trapstar snap backs and baggy pants. <strong>Rihanna</strong>’s style has transcended to entirely new levels since her <em>Music of the Sun </em>days.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Rachel-Roy.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Rachel Roy"><img class="alignright  wp-image-37144" title="Menswear Rachel Roy" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Rachel-Roy.jpeg" alt="Menswear Rachel Roy" width="320" height="535" /></a>Rachel Roy</strong></p>
<p>The fashion phenom has not only been known to debut menswear-inspired pieces in her eponymous brand’s seasonal collections, but she’s strutted the red carpet and the streets of New York in haute trendy gear as well, most notably in haute over-sized blazers.<!--nextpage--><strong><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Kourtney-Kardashian.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37138]" title="Menswear Kourtney Kardashian"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-37143" title="Menswear Kourtney Kardashian" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VIBE-Vixen-menswear-Kourtney-Kardashian-300x501.jpeg" alt="Menswear Kourtney Kardashian" width="300" height="501" /></a>Kourtney Kardashian</strong></p>
<p>Always a fan of menswear, Kourtney has managed to bring more glam to a red bowtie than Peewee Herman. The Kardashian always dresses up her menswear-inspired looks with a bold lip creating a  subtle feminine touch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vibe-vixen-beyonce-.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Beyoncé"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-33852" title="Beyoncé" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vibe-vixen-beyonce--600x373.jpeg" alt="Beyoncé" width="600" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Since launching her revealing <a href="http://iam.beyonce.com/">Tumblr page</a>, <strong>Beyoncé </strong>has penned more than a few handwritten letters showing gratitude and appreciate to those who have touched her life, including <strong>Frank Ocean</strong>, <strong>Michelle</strong> and <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, Mama <strong>Tina Knowles</strong> and <strong>Michael Jackson</strong>. She even takes time to jot notes of sarcastic slander (<strong>Mitt Romney</strong>) and praise (<strong>Rashida Jones</strong>) as a way to keep us guessing.</p>
<p>Much like her music career, it seems only an elite sect experiences the pen treatment from B, but we think she should share the wealth.</p>
<p>Here’s the 24 peeps we think the Queen should give a shout to by spilling ink.— <em>Kamille Cooper, Stacy-Ann Ellis, Niki McGloster and Adelle Platon</em><!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-beyonce-jay-z-courtside3.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Beyonce and Jay-Z Nets"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-35762" title="Beyonce and Jay-Z Nets" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-beyonce-jay-z-courtside3.jpeg" alt="Beyonce and Jay-Z Nets" width="440" height="594" /></a></h2>
<h2>1. JAY-Z</h2>
<p>To our dismay, a letter to her hubby may just be the shortest letter Mrs. Knowles-Cart<wbr>er writes, given their mums-the-wor<wbr>d relationship they’ve carried on for so long. If she did grace us with its presence, it’d probably read something like this:</wbr></wbr></p>
<p><em>“Jay, </em></p>
<p><em>You know what it is <img src='http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p><em>B.”</em><!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-halle-and-chloe.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Halle and Chloe"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37127" title="Halle and Chloe" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-halle-and-chloe.jpeg" alt="Halle and Chloe" width="600" height="398" /></a></h2>
<h2>2. CHLOE AND HALLE</h2>
<p>These two Youtube-sens<wbr>ations caught the attention of over two million viewers with vocal ranges strikingly similar to Queen Bey’s. Wouldn’t it be something if she took notice of the super smiling sisters and penned a little encouragemen<wbr>t to her prodigies-in<wbr>-progress?<br />
<!--nextpage--></wbr></wbr></wbr></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/S-2012-3.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Beyonce and Solange Attend J.Crew S/S 2012"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8530" title="Beyonce and Solange Attend J.Crew S/S 2012" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/S-2012-3.jpeg" alt="" width="427" height="600" /></a>3. SOLANGE</h2>
<p>Despite ongoing public speculation and criticism of Solo living in her sister’s shadow, in Beyonce’s world, family is everything and she has never cast an inch of shade. Through photos, Big Sis has no problem reaffirming that sisters and best friends are interchangea<wbr>ble terms, but put the pen to the paper so we know it’s real.<br />
<!--nextpage--></wbr></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vixen-take-that-mitches-beyonce.jpg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Beyoncé &quot;Take That Mitches&quot;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-35930" title="Beyoncé &quot;Take That Mitches&quot;" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vixen-take-that-mitches-beyonce-600x285.jpg" alt="Beyoncé &quot;Take That Mitches&quot;" width="600" height="285" /></a></h2>
<h2>4. MITT ROMNEY</h2>
<p>Beyonce has an uncanny ability to make you question your self-worth without even trying. Though she blasted a swift “TAKE THAT MITCHES” through the Instagram canal, it would’ve been clutch had she used her kill-them-wi<wbr>th-kindness words to chin-check the governor during his frequent hot-headed and borderline disrespectfu<wbr>l moments.<br />
<!--nextpage--></wbr></wbr></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-donald-trump.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Donald Trump"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37128" title="Donald Trump" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-donald-trump.jpeg" alt="Donald Trump" width="600" height="400" /></a></h2>
<h2>5. DONALD TRUMP</h2>
<p>Positivity<wbr>, admiration and empowerment have been the core of all of Beyonce’s letters to date, but we’re sure she’ll have a different selection of words for the man who tried to bribe our re-elected President. It’s hard to even begin to imagine how she paraphrases <em>“shame on you.”</em></wbr></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-keri-hilson.jpg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Keri Hilson"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-37016" title="Keri Hilson" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-keri-hilson-600x600.jpg" alt="Keri Hilson" width="600" height="600" /></a></h2>
<h2>6. KERI HILSON</h2>
<p>Since Miss Hilson was ever so kind to cook up subliminal “advice” on a track, after a baby and never ceasing to fade, it may be the right time for Bey to offer up the singer advice on relevancy.<br />
<!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-beyonce-aaliyah.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Beyonce and Aaliyah"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-37129" title="Beyonce and Aaliyah" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-beyonce-aaliyah.jpeg" alt="Beyonce and Aaliyah" width="400" height="552" /></a></h2>
<h2>7. AALIYAH</h2>
<p>With Mr. Carter’s “Miss U” ode to the late great, Baddie Bey should write a letter to the industry darling to match. After all, Aaliyah was apart of the Roc.<br />
<!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-alicia-keys-beyonce.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Alicia Keys and Beyonce"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37130" title="Alicia Keys and Beyonce" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-alicia-keys-beyonce.jpeg" alt="Alicia Keys and Beyonce" width="560" height="373" /></a></h2>
<h2>8. ALICIA KEYS</h2>
<p>Since Blue Ivy Carter will be hitting her one-year mark soon, we’re thinking its quite time for a play date with Swizz and Alicia’s son Egypt. A formal (and public) written invitation would do the trick. Toddlers in Paris, anyone?<br />
<!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-lady-gaga-beyonce.jpeg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Lady Gaga and Beyonce"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-37131" title="Lady Gaga and Beyonce" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/vibe-vixen-lady-gaga-beyonce-600x337.jpeg" alt="Lady Gaga and Beyonce" width="600" height="337" /></a></h2>
<h2>9. LADY GAGA</h2>
<p>These two industry phenoms have already beat Pinky and The Brain to the punch, taking over the world both musically and in fashion. A letter from Honey Bee to Gaga hinting the duos next scheme is completely necessary.<br />
<!--nextpage--></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/vibe-vixen-harry-belafonte-jay-z-beyonce.jpg" rel="lightbox[37126]" title="Harry Belafonte Beyonce Jay Z"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30477" title="Harry Belafonte Beyonce Jay Z" src="http://www.vibevixen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/vibe-vixen-harry-belafonte-jay-z-beyonce.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" /></a></h2>
<h2>10. HARRY BELAFONTE</h2>
<p>Men lie and women lie but numbers sure don’t. Between her political campaigning for Barack Obama and being an advocate for World Humanitarian Day, perhaps Beyoncé should seriously jot down her philanthropi<wbr>c receipts for Harry to see.</wbr></p>
