Off Beat Janelle Monae is the new easy, breezy face of Covergirl
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 4:17 PM
"I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them," said Janelle, who's known for her signature black bowtie and voluminous bouffant. "One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique. Becoming a CoverGirl is truly an honor and a gift: it opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out."
Her first spread, a 10-pager according to the Insider, will debut in Vogue's September issue. Pretty sure that'll make her fourth or fifth time appearing in the fashion bible.
