why we like her?
It's not hard to imagine why we would like Vanessa Williams. She is beautiful, talented, genuinely nice, and she has been surrounded by some juicy scandal. What scandal? Well, back in 1983 she was crowned Miss America 1984. Vanessa was the first black American to have that honor, but she resigned because Penthouse magazine was going to release, without her consent, some nude photos that she had posed for in 1982. OK, maybe by today's standards and Donald Trump's belief in "second chances" Vanessa's scandal wasn't so scandalous.
why is she famous?
Vanessa Williams is known as the first black Miss America, a title that she was forced to relinquish. Fortunately, she was able to overcome the controversy and parlay it into a successful music and movie career. Her hit single "Save the Best For Last" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five week in 1992 she has appeared on such television shows as Ugly Betty and in hit movies like Erasure (1996) and Shaft (2000).
bio
Vanessa Lynn Williams was born on March 18, 1963, in Millwood, New York. Her parents, Milton and Helen Williams, were both music teachers, which leads us to wonder how Vanessa ever got started on the piano and the French horn. It wasn't long after her introduction to music that she discovered her naturally beautiful and silky voice, which became such a passion that she pursued singing at Syracuse University as a Theater Arts major.

22nd April 2007
Ole ‘Nessa stripped down for the cameras to her bare bones showing that tailfeather for Allure magazine as DGood previously reported. This issue will hit stands on May 1st. This photo is more tastefully done than the previous photos she took back in 1984 when she lost her crown for posing nude and engaging in soft porn with other women for the cameras. Losing her title to Miss America and all of the controversy behind it has made her a strong woman today, where she is now able to be confident, hold her head up high and accomplish great things. I guess that is part of the whole concept behind her recent spread in Allure called “What Lies Beneath.” Though it may be walkable getting boonie for the cams at 62 out here, but I partially understand… You do you ‘Nessa…lol. |

Some people will say "cosign" when they agree with something another person has said but don't have anything to add. It's kind of like saying "yeah, what s/he said." |
