   Hooray-equal time for the ladies! You put together an impressive list. Let me just say, in my next life I’m coming back looking like Garcelle Beauvais. I saw Kerry Washington on Broadway in Race. She was excellent; and for Eartha Kitt – I adored her. The first time I saw Ms. Kitt was as Cat Woman on the Batman series. She was not like any other black women in my sphere; then or now. Thanks for sharing.

   This list was sooooo hard! I also wanted to add Grace Jones, a major fashion icon that I admire.
7. Dr. Reine on June 21, 2012 at 5:10 PM said:

   Definitely Dorothy and Sade should be on the top 10 list.

   My Good Dr:

    Good List.
11. Dr. Reine on June 21, 2012 at 7:01 PM said:

    To be honest, Lena Horne wouldn’t make my list until she was in her 40’s.

    Truth

    You forgot to mention Lela Rochon. She’s one of the finest women in hollywood…Period! The late but never forgotten Flo-Jo(Florence Griffith Joyner) was and is still one of the finest female athletes to bless the airwaves, i was a big fan. Pam Grier is an all-time favorite, the epitome of sexual chocolate in every aspect. Also, a fan of Sanaa Lathan as well. So many flavors of chocolate to indulge, so many kinds of sistas to love, this is why blackwomen are so special. “Blackman Heaven” is here on earth, not in the sky.

    Good comment!
14. mary burrell on June 21, 2012 at 9:48 PM said:

    @Brotha Wolf, I (heart) him. He’s got love for my two favorite artist. Sister Angie Stone and India Arie. He must like thickness in a ebony sister. can appreciate a curvy girl with dark chocolate skin. Eartha Kitt was a fierce cat woman.
15. mary burrell on June 21, 2012 at 9:56 PM said:

    Sister, I know you said you don’t watch movies and television, But you’ve got to check out Chiwetel Ejiofor’s great performance in the film “Kinky Boots. His portrayal of a female impersonator doing Ertha Kitt’s “I want to be bad” I just gave me life. this man has mad skills as an actor. Hotep.
16. diaryofanegress on June 21, 2012 at 10:09 PM said:

    If he’s in it, I may check it out.
17. Dr. Reine on June 21, 2012 at 11:54 PM said:

    ALL of Ejiofor’s movies are amazing!

21. Satanforce on June 22, 2012 at 6:14 AM said:

    Viola Davis looks like a damn tranny. And Beverly whats-its-face. And Aisha Tyler. And Ton Braxton. Lauryn Hill is batshit crazy So is Halle Berry. Pam Grier is old. Two of dem bitches is dead, so they don’t count. Jill Scott looks like this cow that I saw grazing while I was jogging this evening, besides sex with fat chicks = bestiality.

    I expect better from you truthbetold. You are one of my favorite bloggers, but this list just mediocre. Trust me, I’m being kind when I say this.

    Here is a list that reflects true black beauty:

    Beyonce
    Rihanna
    Tia and Tamera
    Kim Kardashian
    Nikki Minaj
    Halle Berry
    Pinky (porn star)

    I will complete this later.
22. diaryofanegress on June 22, 2012 at 12:39 PM said:

    Ummmm…Satan, dear? Why does you list feature:
    1. Mulattoes
    2. Creoles
    3. Quadroons/Octoroons/Quintroons

    I don’t watch porn so “Pinky” is unknown to me….
23. Satanforce on June 22, 2012 at 7:15 PM said:

    The use of the words mulatto/quadroon/octoroon/quintoon (1/5 dark WTF?) is extremely backward and racist. I absolutely, completely disapprove of the use of such racist terminology and I WILL NOT tolerate it!

    Oh, and I left Lauren London of my list.
24. brothawolf on June 22, 2012 at 7:21 PM said:

    Satanforce,

    LOL.
25. brothawolf on June 22, 2012 at 7:26 PM said:

    I found a few more:

    Fantasia
    Kelly Rowland
    Erica Alexander
    Kim Fields
    Queen Latifah
    Kim Coles
    Judge Glenda Hatchett
    Judge Mablean Ephriam
    Essence Atkins
    Golden Brooks
    Jill-Marie Jones

    (Man, I watch a lot of TV, don’t I?)
26. diaryofanegress on June 22, 2012 at 7:28 PM said:

    Kim Fields is a true beauty. And yes, you sure do love some TV!
27. Satanforce on June 22, 2012 at 7:45 PM said:

    Satanforce,

    LOL.

    You think puttig Kim K on there was a bit much? I think that was what stopped me from getting lulz.
28. diaryofanegress on June 22, 2012 at 7:57 PM said:

    Kim K is vile. Shame on you.
29. Onitaset on June 22, 2012 at 9:19 PM said:

    We were looking to see pictures of our host.

    But where’s my momma?

    I wouldn’t know beauty, strength or downright intelligence were it not for my momma.

    Still, Sister truthbetold, first adore your beauty. So the rest of us can. 🙂
30. diaryofanegress on June 22, 2012 at 9:34 PM said:

    Onitaset…you flatter me, you sly thing. I’m sure mom is beautiful.
31. Onitaset on June 22, 2012 at 9:45 PM said:

    She sure is–why else would I be number 11 on the men’s list?

    Though remember Sister, “love yourself.” Which of these Sisters can compare to our lovely writer?

    Psshh, my mommas on the list, taking up a few numbers, but you should be too.

    ‘Cause “black women are so [ expletive] fine.” Ask what Sojourner Truth (another “Truth”) asked this country: “Ain’t I a woman?”

    You should have put yourself up there. ‘Cause you know it’s true. 🙂

    Which, come to think of it, “Ain’t I a woman” is a speech kind of like your blog:

    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/sojtruth-woman.asp

    Sojourner Truth is another nomination for beauty, to me. 🙂
32. phoebeprunelle on June 23, 2012 at 1:21 AM said:

    I think Chimamanda is beautiful.
33. SomeGuy on June 23, 2012 at 2:27 AM said:

    Yeah, I was going to ask about Grace Jones. I just wish she did more films.
34. brothawolf on June 23, 2012 at 3:57 AM said:

    I knew it.

    (Hangs head in shame)
35. commentarybyvalentina on June 23, 2012 at 4:17 AM said:

    Taral Hicks
    Tracey Heggins – http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2422410/
    Alicia Keys
    Jody Watley

    Liya Kebede – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liya_Kebede
    Ariel Meredith – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Meredith

    And too many more to list! 🙂
36. ynotme on June 23, 2012 at 9:07 AM said:

    Definitely Liya Kebede
37. Tyrone on June 23, 2012 at 3:16 PM said:

    Satanforce

    Kim K is not a blackwoman yet, she hasn’t married a blackman and birthed a black baby, which is how whitewomen see it. Yes, Kim is striving for honarary sistahood, not just yet my friend. Satanforce, you’re a smart man, you love the best…Cocoa Pink, Pink Cocoa, Pink Chocolate, Chocolate Pie, Brown Sugar, and the list goes. Nubia is what they call her…The Black Female!

    Tyrone
38. diaryofanegress on June 23, 2012 at 3:18 PM said:

    TY

    Don’t encourage him!!!
39. Tyrone on June 23, 2012 at 3:25 PM said:

    Truth

    It is what it is. Any man that loves blackwomen is a smart man…Ditto! At the same time, we’re still the apple of their eyes, and always will be. Truth, i’ll holla at ya in time sista, gotta bounce.

40. SW6 on June 24, 2012 at 8:29 PM said:

    Sorry Brotha’: Buffie the Body makes me want to upchuck something fierce!
41. soulsocket7 on June 26, 2012 at 2:06 PM said:

    So…a few days ago I came through and and unofficially added myself to the list of top-ten beautiful black men. So once again, for all the sistas out there who exist in real life and not on television and magazines, I would like to nominate my beautiful black queen who stand by my side, raises my children, feeds my body and soul, and does it all while looking absolutely gorgeous. My wife. God Bless!
42. diaryofanegress on June 26, 2012 at 2:37 PM said:

    Soul:

    God Bless you!
43. MaMu1977 on June 30, 2012 at 2:19 AM said:

    There’s a distinct lack of Gabrielle Union on this list. This list is therefore invalid.
    Gabrielle Union could enter the Olympics as America’s gold medal hopeful in “Cute Animal Kicking” (chipmunk to kitten weight class) and I’d watch the event and think, “Damn, that woman is fine as May wine in the sunshine!”
44. diaryofanegress on June 30, 2012 at 2:40 AM said:

    Yes, Gabby is so fine.
45. tehnoun on July 6, 2012 at 3:10 AM said:

    I can’t believe that I never posted here, especially because Angela Basset is at the top and I’m shamelessly infatuated with her. The only other person who even comes close to my adoration of her is Sophia Loren, and even she’s a distant second. 😛
46. diaryofanegress on July 6, 2012 at 12:57 PM said:

    Miss Bassett is a true beauty. I agree.
