Mary J. Blige’s Outdoor Concert In Times Square
How do you know Mary J. Blige is a diva’s diva? Because today, she gave a free outdoor performance in Times Square on a rainy afternoon, and the following things happened: She did not slip on the soaking wet stage, she rocked sunglasses (it was totally overcast, but no matter), and her hair didn’t even think about frizzing up!
MJB hosted the fabulous mini-concert to celebrate her partnership with Degree Women Natureffects, a new line of anti-perspirant/deodorants and matching body mists inspired by the calming effects that nature has on women–the stage was even strewn with trees, grass, and lush flowers to suggest an oasis in the middle of the urban jungle. After the show, we chatted with the legendary chanteuse about everything from her quest to find the perfect Hermes cuff to why Halle Berry is her ultimate beauty icon.
ESSENCE.COM: Great performance! But let’s get down to what’s really important…your gorgeous taupe nails. What polish did you use?
MARY J. BLIGE: OPI You Don’t Know Jacques ($5). It’s been my color for awhile now.
