<p>The Queen of Disco, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Summer">Donna Summer</a>, is our next beauty :D Who doesn't love this lady??!! She's GORGEOUS and created some seriously funky fun tunes in her day. She was the first artist to have 3 consecutive double albums reach #1 in the US and has won 5 Grammys. Marilyn Monroe and Janis Joplin were huge inspirations for her sound. She also did plays, like the ever popular "Godspell". </p>

<p>Tracie Thoms is a Julliard educated actress known for her great roles in "Rent", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Death Proof", "Good Hair", and "Cold Case". I LOVE this woman and her gorgeous hair, she inspired me to go natural when I first decided to do it. I first knew about her from Rent and followed her career after that (helps that she appeared for a while in my favorite TV show too, Cold Case). </p>

<p><span>The 28 days of black beauty series is a celebration of Black History Month (February) done beauty blogger style. I'll showcase a different woman each day and recreate one of her makeup looks while also giving some information on her life/career. Maybe you'll learn more about some favorites or get hip to new black women that you didn't know much about :) Enjoy! </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Queen Latifah is SUPER versatile and quite the entertainment maven. She started with a successful rap career when rap was still empowering, has had television success with the awesome "Living Single", and created a name for herself in movies (even got Oscar nods for her performance in "Chicago"), and has created the Queen Collection with Covergirl as a makeup line for women of color. This woman has it ALL: beauty, brains, talent. </span></p>

<p>For her look, I used my Auntie Phyllis again as a model. </p>
