hey you! I just posted this same thing (a few other little pics) on the where's Mani 2 thread.

She certainly looks happier (or at least like she's trying to seem happier!) than the last photoshoot. Much better!

*Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya Richardson join LeVar Burton of PBS’s “Reading Rainbow,” screenwriter Antwone Fisher and actress Victoria Rowell in unveiling a national foster youth art exhibit at L.A.’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) to launch May as National Foster Care Awareness Month. Presented by the Rowell Foster Children’s Positive Plan (RFCPP), the “Passion Art Tour” hopes to educate and illustrate to the public just how foster children can have a positive future if given the tools for success. Under the tutelage of renowned collagist Phoebe Beasley, foster youths in California and Boston created artwork to illustrate their hopes, dreams and above all else, their passion for life. A reception and unveiling ceremony will be held May 1 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at MOCA (250 S. Grand Ave.)

So the first lady is Mani's mother? She must look more like her father than her mother then...Though they have kinda the same eyes.

I am excited she has on yellow. I am excited she's in LA. I am excited
she has her RING on. It's good news. Things are looking much brighter.
Good signs. Good signs. Good signs.. Now where is that Prince?
I asked for you.

ok...that is so mean but did laugh....


I personally think if Mani doesn't gain about 15lbs, she will look awful as she ages.


But she still is going by "nelson" sooooo

lol. You two are mean! I don't think her ma lookes that bad. She just looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.
Maybe that's why Prince is still married?...
(Oops, Now I was mean)

Why are you excited that she's wearing yellow?

It's funny you asked that. The reason is from another thread someone
had mentioned her wearing black and you know how everything has to be
disected. So with all the rumors floating around and after putting the three clues together everything seems positive. The stories could be false after all.

Check out the meaning of Yellow

Color Yellow

Yellow symbolizes: wisdom, joy, happiness, intellectual energy
The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Always use yellow note pads.

Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love. Sunday's color is yellow-gold.

Yellow Energy
Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness. The shade of yellow determines its effect: Yellow-green can mean deceit, and creates a disoriented feeling. Orange-yellow imparts a sense of establishment. Clean light yellow clears the mind, making it active and alert.

Put some yellow in your life when you want:

clarity for decision-making
relief from 'burnout', panic, nervousness, exhaustion
sharper memory and concentration skills
protection from lethargy and depression during dull weather

Yellow gem stone properties
Carry or wear yellow gemstones to promote the ability to express yourself. They are excellent stones for writers and public speakers to increase eloquence. The yellow stones stimulate movement and mental awareness. They are used to enhance decision making skills.

interesting info on the color yellow! thanks Roses!

I've never worn yellow (other than during childhood) but now I may consider a splash of yellow in my wardrobe when I want to make desicions and improve my memory!!

Now that I look at it though, Mani's dress seems more Orange than Yellow...

Rhondab said:

Flamboyant and Energetic : Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.

Nature of Orange: As a warm color orange is a stimulant — stimulating the emotions and even the appetite. Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of fall, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit.

Culture of Orange: Orange brings up images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and (in combination with Black) Halloween. It represents the changing seasons so in that sense it is a color on the edge, the color of change between the heat of summer and the cool of winter.
Because orange is also a citrus color, it can conjure up thoughts of vitamin C and good health.

Using Orange: If you want to get noticed without screaming, consider the color orange — it demands attention. The softer oranges such as peach are even friendlier, more soothing. Peachy oranges are less flamboyant than their redder cousins but still energetic.
In keeping with its transitional appearance in nature, you might use shades of orange to indicate transition or a bridge between two opposing factors.

Orange is often synonymous with autumn yet the brighter oranges are a summer color. Use shades of orange for seasonal-themed fall or summer materials.
Orange is mentally stimulating as well as sociable. Use it to get people thinking or to get them talking.
