Nicki Minaj a sophisticated super-star of a Woman

Mrs. Minaj has definitely grown into a sophisticated super star of a woman.  She is so crazy to wear those crazy hair colors, that wild make-up, and let's not forget about that crazy over-rated rap.  Don't get it twisted, this is what we love about her, this is what makes her stand out, but her variety of style is simply beautiful.

I love to see a woman who knows how to "OWN IT," and she is rocking those words in April's 2011 issue of "Elle Magazine."  Many will be a hater, but just shake em off girl. You're very talented and many of us only dream of what you have.  Keep stunting your stuff and showing us your nature beauty ma-ma...

Victoria Secret fashion show featured Nicki Minaj as she sung her single "Super Bass."  

Ever think of sexy, when you hear the words "Victoria Secret?"  Well, we were all drooling in front of the television on the night the 2011 Victoria Secret fashion aired.  But it wasn't just for the models in their bra and panties.  We were also screaming and pulling our hairs out for one and only Nicki Minaj.

When I saw her walk out in that pink short curly wig, with her high-tops on, in her colorful clown appearance clothing I screamed in my mind like I was a little girl.  She represented her brand, all too well.  It was even more surprising to see the model's costumes to be very similar to what Nicki Minaj was wearing  herself.  I guess for the sake of Nicki's appearance they based that part of the shows fashion around her.

Another, part of the show that seem to catch my attention was the way how she was staring at those girls.  We know Nicki has several different personalities, but she was checking those models out like she was the dude in the mall or something.  I just could not get over that little look of hers.  Overall, the show was fabulous, but Nicki Minaj was my favorite model from the show.

One last interest in the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, I took a liking to was her live performance.  Nicki Minaj can really sing and sometimes when we hear one of her singles on the radio, we may think it been fine tuned.  But the slowing of the Super Bass beat and then going into the single "It Takes Two," was way above what I was expecting from her performance.  The models even looked like they were having just as much fun as Nicki too.

Other stars among the crowd and performing was Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adam Levine of Maroon 5.

Dress Like a Barbie for a day

Nicki Minaj has all her fans animated about her sense of style.  Her wigs, pink lipstick, and clothing all make her who she is.  She calls her fans Barbz and Kens and for those of you who want the fashion similar to Nicki's, you should start here.

As Tyra Banks says, you should model from "H to T."  Meaning you should look fabulous from your head down to your feet.  

Nicki's Wigs:

We don't have a Terrence Davidson hiding out in our bathroom, but we certainly can get a wig(s) to dress the part as Nicki.  Her most popular wig colors seem to be pink, blonde, and white.  She also loves them short and to the shoulder.  Check out a couple of wigs below, that we pulled from Nicki Minaj's collection. 

There are several YouTube videos, that offer advice on how to dress the part as Nicki Minaj.  YouTube offers tutorials or step by step guides on how to apply  make-up that's similar to Nicki's too.  One thing a girl's gotta have in order to fully dress the part is pink lipstick.  As she stated in an interview, before "I don't know where I would be without my pink lipstick." 


Dressing up as the superstar is not hard.  It actually only requires very little from yourself.  For example, Nicki wears finger nail polish, but it does not have to be a unique color.  You can find the colors she wears in your local fashion store. This is one part of her style of fashion that is very simple to do.

It's Barbie B*itch

Mattel is a barbie doll company.  When I was a little girl my grandmother always bought the barbie doll dressed in the beautiful princess dress.    But in this day and age, a barbie doll can be anything you want, she can even be a real life, real size human being.  

Nicki refers to her male and female audiences as "Barbz and Kens."  The traditional looking Ken doll doesn't represent Nicki's Ken or Barbz. Rather they are dress in pink wigs, different crazy colors blended together, and a personality like the lovely Nicki Minaj.  

In 2011 mattel released a Nicki Minaj barbie doll.  The bad news is it won't be available in stores, but on the other end the barbie doll was sold for a charity event.   Read more at Bet.com to get Nicki's reaction and read how the ideal became a reality.

Nicki is truly a star within her-self. 

Minus the alter ego, the hair, and clothing.  There's a  real person who is just like you and me.  Read on to discover what you didn't know about Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj's real name is Onika Tanya Maraj

She was born in Saint James, Trinidad, and moved to Queens when she was five years old.  She explained on Vh1 how her mother left her and her brother in Trinidad while her mom and dad went to the United States.  After, a few years of staying with her grandmother in Trinidad, her mom came back to get them, to go back to the United States, but it wasn't exactly how she pictured
life to be.

Nicki played pretend a lot as a little girl, Which may contribute to her alter egos or stage personality.

Nicki Minaj says her fifth grade teacher helped her bring out a lot of personality she had within her.
This included acting, her alto egos, and rap.
 
Once Nicki entered high school
She started to develop the acting side of her by getting involved in theatre. There were only three African-American girls including Nicki, which made her stand out from the crowd.

During her senior year, she was told how good of an actress she was, but her plan of being an actress didn't happen like she planned it would.  So, Nicki advance to one of her other talents, which was raping.

Nicki started working at Red-Lobster and did some Broadway
Before Nicki Minaj gave up completely on acting, she decided to try it one more time.  After another fail attempt at it, she found out it was still not easy for her to be a successful actress.  At 18 she was working at Red-Lobster, had an office assistant job, but what she really wanted to do now was rap.

After, work she would go to a label company to record music, and she stated on Vh1, that this  the last try for the hopes of making one of her dreams come true. 

Nicki stated she was going to give it her all.

"She was like I don't care if I end up in a shelter, I just want to give it one last try." 

Her break through finally came in 2002, when she was recruited by a local act called the Hood-Stars as a solo act.
 
In a single called autobiography she wrote about everything she had gone through.  She says writing was her only escape for her emotions.  She soon made a Myspace page and she begin to get recognized for her talent.  She also begin to make CD's and from there Lil Wayne reach out to her. 

He told her he wanted her to be apart of a group he was starting called "Young Money."  As Nicki crashed the hip-hop scene, she came out with an edgy, animated,  and drive to be a great artist.

August of 2009 she signed to Young Money and her first collaboration was Bedrock along with a few other artists from Young Money.

 

From there she rose with Yo-Gotti, with the single 5-star chick, from there the rest is history. 

Her first single "Massive Attack"


An investments of 500,000 for the video didn't even make the album.

The music she creates will still be good ten years from now.  Her expensive wigs, creative style, and crazy alter egos is credited to her time in theatre.

Nicki Minaj is truly an example we can all follow.  I can understand why she wants to have this "Moment for Life."
