Why I Love Robin Roberts


OK so you've heard me say it a billion times, Good Morning America is my mornin crack. I cannot function unless it is on and that is mostly because of Robin Roberts. GMA is the only morning show of its caliber with two women as the lead anchors and she is the only black woman lead anchor. And it is because she really is the person that you want talking to you first thing in the morning. She is always chipper and you can just sense that she just has a naturally beautiful spirit. When she isn't there, I most certainly miss her. And you know how proud of her I was when she walked in the Isaac Mizrahi show with her bald head...she's just amazing.

So this morning, I was all nervous because she and Diane kept alluding to some kind of change going on and this announcement they were going to make. I was brushing my teeth thinking NO, no announcements! Is Robin leaving?! Is it something else with her breast cancer? I don't want to hear it. But then Diane said it is a beautiful thing. Just stick with us. So at the start of the 8:00 hour Robin tells us that she is no longer going to wear her wig on television. As her hair is growing back, she has been out publicly and speaking at events with her natural bald head. She was wearing the wig for everyone else's benefit and she just didn't want to do that anymore. So while, India Arie's "I Am Not My Hair" played in the background, Robin took the wig off. And she's hot. I can only imagine how freeing that had to be for her. She said she was trying to hold on to the old Robin but having cancer and everything that has come with that, she is clearly no longer the old Robin.

Either way, Robin Roberts is beautiful.

Robin Is A Bald Beauty!


I was doing too much and forgot to post this first thing. I don't know how many of you watch Good Morning America, but GMA is my morning crack. Like I can't function if GMA is not on. I've been watching GMA since the womb...hey Joan Lunden, miss you boo! But I digress....as much I loved me some Joan and Charlie, I love Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts. Like, I love them. Robin, as many of you know, announced last July that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and that she would have to undergo chemo. She documented her illness....showing us when her hair was fallin out and how she just shaved it all off. Her wigs on the show are hot. They look just like her real hair and can't see where it ends or begins. But today, during the GMA segment, I Dare You, Robin was dared to be a runway model. After going to Tyra Banks runway school, photo shoot class with Nikki Taylor, she worked her stuff on the runway for Issac Mizrahi's Fall preview at NYC fashion week.

Robin worked the runway bald and she looked fantastic! She reminded me of the time on America's Next Top Model when Tyra had them take bald headed pictures. And speaking of ANTM, Dani was in the show and she's so cute. She came out right before Robin.

To see Robin strut her stuff click: bravery in its sweetest form.
