Rapsody Makes Dope Black Hair Statement With Custom Crystal Curlers

October 7, 2019. Leave a Comment

North Carolina-native Rapsody made a noteworthy hair style statement while in attendance at the BET Hip Hop Awards, an event held in Atlanta on Saturday (October 5, 2019). Bucking the stick straight, long-hair trend, she wore an updo accessorized with Swarovski crystal-covered curlers with a silver foil track suit paired with Nike x Comme des Garçons sneakers.

Rapsody’s (real name Marlanna Evans) look was styled by Misa Hylton, while her hair was styled by Atlanta-based Terrence Davidson. The Swarovski crystal curlers were custom-made by A-Morir designer Kerin Rose.

In an email exchange with Snobette, Rose provided some insight on the effort. She explained, “I have been fortunate enough to have been working with Misa Hylton for quite a while now. So when she hit me up and said, ‘Can you make crystal rollers?’ The answer was ‘Heck yes!’ I didn’t even ask who it was for because Misa is a legend and all of her clients are as well. Finding out they would be used for Rapsody was a treat, she’s a rare authentic talent.”

The New York-based designer noted, “It was a very collaborative process between me, Misa and Rapsody’s hair stylist, Terrence Davidson. From a technical standpoint this project was very complicated. I had to make sure the hair had space to go and that the crystals could fit between the sponge rollers and the closures, so each roller was painted, cut, and rematched with a painted closure that would fit the crystals. I made 18 rollers in three different sizes and I knew once I tested them on my own hair that they would look amazing for the occasion.”

INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was sho INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in Los Angeles by individual who then stole two of three of her French Bulldogs! The crime took place at 10 PM on Wednesday night in Hollywood. 

According to a recent TMZ update, crime scene video has emerged showing a white car rolling up on the dog walker. Two men emerge from the vehicle and one, who is brandishing a gun, tells the dog walker, "Give it up."

The dog walker put up a fight (!!) before the gun goes off, striking him in the chest. The two thiefs each grab one dog and flee the scene. In the video, the black dog shown here, whose name is Asia, manages to escape and is shown running back to the fallen dog walker. 

Gaga, who is currently in Rome working on a project, is currently offering at $500,00 award for the safe return of Koji and Gustav (on the slide). The dog walker was hospitalized but thankfully will recover.
