Jill Scott has just been doing her thing hasn't she? She tore up the tribute to Al Green at the BET Awards, so I know she did the same at the Festival. I don't even have to ask how she looked, because I know she was fly as usual. The way she steps on the scene with such confidence and poise reminds me so much of Bianca from Toyota's "If Looks Could Kill" series. You have to know who I'm talking about!

If you don't then you have to check this chick out. She plays the role of an aspiring fashion assistant, (played by Femi Emiola, Wicked Wicked Games), who is a prime example of a woman who’s got it going on. I’m talking the dream job, a man who’s got all the ladies drooling, and the spice to keep it all together when hell hits the fan. I work for Toyota by the way, so you know I've got the scoop. Think James Bond meets Sanaa Lathan in “Something New”, Bianca is the girl who isn’t afraid to run in her Louboutin heels!

You’ll have to see what I’m talking about. Don’t forget to check out the fourth episode—Family Jewels—which is available today (7/7). This girl is definitely a ride or die chick, especially when it comes to family. Mess with them and you’re definitely messing with her. You’re probably going to get reeled in so don’t be surprised.

Judging from this blog you seem to be up on game about what's hot and current, so I figured this would be something that you would be interested in. Don't forget to hit me up and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to the chit chat!
