LeToya Luckett New Face of Luster's Pink Lotion

[zamaih]

From ybf.com

Someone just tell me WHY Beyonce and company were putting relaxers in each other's hair!? LOL! I pray Letoya was lying when she said that.

Letoya Luckett is the new face of Luster's Pink Hair Lotion. And Luster's and [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]VIBE [COLOR=#ff00ff! important]magazine[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] hosted a launch party last night for the event.

We've got pics plus an exclusive interview with the groupmate turned fab solo artist when you read on....

The event was held at the Helen Mills [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]Theatre[/COLOR][/COLOR] in New York, NY and YBF correspondents Sharde and Angela. NYC folks were in attendance, and YBF Chick Letoya was revealed as the new face of with Luster’s. Luster’s ended the evening with giveaways of black hair care products, and had tons of swag bags for everyone.
Letoya chatted it up with YBF about her new [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]album[/COLOR][/COLOR], reuniting with Destiny's Child, her ex Slim Thug's recent controversial comments, and her new job as the face of Luster's.

On how she feels being the new face of Luster's Pink Hair Lotion...
"I’m so excited! Its funny because I don’t have a professional background in hair but my grandfather was the first person to ever put a relaxer in my hair and he still to this day has his own shop in Houston Texas! And then of course with Destinys child, Tina would do our hair or we had to do each other’s hair and put perm and relaxers in each others hair, so of course this made sense, it jus made sense! Luster came to me and approached me about being a partner in the company and to join forces so I was like absolutely! And they are like a family in itself so its just great! Its crazy because I used to use PINK hair lotion when I was younger! So all of this just made sense!"

On how she got into acting and her dream role...
"I’ve had the acting bug for a while, acting has always been an interest of mine but of course my singing career came first so when I moved to LA and got an agent and I was sent on my first audition and landed my first gig then I thought “ya know? maybe Im supposed to do this?!” So I kept going to auditions and I landed the role in killers as the character Amanda. I would love to play Lena Horne! If they ever did a [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]story[/COLOR][/COLOR] on her I would love to play that role! Because I am a big fan of hers, so that would be great! "

On the new projects she's working on...
"I’m currently working on my new album and I’m taking a new direction with my music (as she looks down at her rings on her hands) so there are a lot of new things are coming up for LeToya so be on the look out!!"

On a possible Destiny's Child [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]reunion[/COLOR][/COLOR]...
"That’s been a rumor that’s been going around for a while. It’s funny how when you see two of us in the same place everybody goes “Reunion, reunion, reunion!” – But you know, we haven’t talked about it amongst ourselves. If there were to be one I would absolutely love to be apart of it.
Destiny Child’s was a big part of my life and I was thankful to have that experience. And if that ever happened then I would [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]love[/COLOR][/COLOR] to be apart of it. It sometimes bugs me because I was reading on something recently -- A [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]friend[/COLOR][/COLOR] of mine said something like, “Why people hate on the fact that y’all back friends?” I’m like, “People love [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]drama[/COLOR][/COLOR], people love drama”, and they don’t understand how God works when he wants a [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]relationship[/COLOR][/COLOR] healed, when he wants people back together then let that be so. You know, nothing should get in the way of that.
The girls and I are [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]good [COLOR=#ff00ff! important]friends[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] now, we hang out, hit the pool and anybody that got something bad to say about that, I’ma pray for you. When you have any situation where there’s heartbreak and love lost--- On my end there was never any love lost. But when things get kind of get crazy and conflicted or whatever and things come back together, that’s beautiful. People should applaud that and not be like 'I still want them to still be mad.' Like, why you mad [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]son[/COLOR][/COLOR], what’s going on (laughs)?"

On her former boo Slim Thug's comments about black women...
"Black is beautiful baby. It is what it is. I’m so proud to be a black woman; I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I mean nothing. I’m blessed to be black. I’m thankful that l I have an amazing family, black women that raised me. Wonderful friends, I’m like an international girl all day long. But I love the black women in my life. My grandmother, my [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]mom[/COLOR][/COLOR]… Even on Slim like he has a great [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]mother[/COLOR][/COLOR], he has a great grandmother...women that raised him. His [COLOR=#ff00ff! important][COLOR=#ff00ff! important]sister[/COLOR][/COLOR]... who if it wasn’t for her you wouldn’t even know who Slim Thug was. Because of how they took care of him... I mean you know, whatever was said, was said. But on my end, Black is Beautiful! "

Here's some pics from the event:

YBF chick Keshia Knight Pulliam showed up.

Letoya looked FAB in a Nicole Miller dress paired with Louboutin heels.

What are you doing Keshia???

I always wonder if celebs REALLY use the products that they are endorsing. I mean, the girl is wearing a weave but she's repping Luster's Pink Lotion?

But then again ... I guess you could use it on weave if you wanted to. IDK

 

[Kimiche]

Awww good for her, but I'm still not buying their products.

 

[DrC]

Awww good for her, but I'm still not buying their products.

Me neither

 

[wavezncurlz]

I was just thinking that her hair was so pretty and if folks see her repping Lusters Pink Lotion, they will not keep the stuff in stock.

How do you know she's wearing a weave? I always thought her hair looked this way.

They probably don't even know what is being used on their hair by their hairdresser. I love reading the hair magazines like Sophisticates Black Hair and I don't believe one word of it when they say they are using certain products. I think it's all about :dollar: when they mention products.

 

[lilsparkle825]

She said she used it when she was younger, so hopefully she knows better now.

Is that a requirement of the contract? I mean, does she actually HAVE to use it, or just say she does?

 

[UrbainChic]

I love how she says she used to use their pink lotion. You used to, and you stopped, but now you're going to push the product hahahaha!

Everyone used to use that stuff. I think almost everyone agrees the pink lotion is worthless, thus the operative phrase used to...

 

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Ah, Luster's Pink Lotion. Those were the days.




Never again

 

[Harina]

She looks super pretty, but I know that girl is lying about using those products. Like Garbrielle Union and those Neutrogena commercials.

I doubt it. Back in the day they used models who "didn't need relaxers" on the relaxer boxes. What difference does it make if they don't use the products now?

You got me cracking up over here!!

 

[Imani]

Keisha looks so pretty in that last pic smiling. I have a friend who looks just like her, esp the smile. Her hair is the bomb! (thats all her right?).

 

[Dposh167]

my father swears by pink lotion. He thinks its been keeping his hair gray free lol

 

[Vashti]

I would never shill for that pink mess!

 

[BEAUTYU2U]

I believe her real hair is about shoulder length - or at least that's how I remember it back in the day. Whether it's a weave or not, I still question whether she uses the product now because people are looking at her hair in it's current state. Ain't like they're putting her old pics up and saying she used to use Pink Lotion.

When she was in DC I remember her hair being at least APL if not BSL. It looked like it was her real hair. I'm usually good at spotting weaves but I could be wrong. Someone posted pics of her when she was a child and she had long thick hair back then.

I'm almost positive she's wearing a weave now. It has that "look".

There are folks on this board who still uses pink oil lotion! So, it's possible Letoya might have reunited with the pink stuff, stranger things have happened.

 

[GaiasDaughter24]

Most celebs don't use it. Just like Sally Fields doesn't use Boniva. I saw it mentioned somewhere. But they do use things that we can see such as pepsi or coke, etc.

But if you don't mind my asking, who is she?! I've never heard of her.

Oh ok, I was wrong... her hair was longer than SL. But you're right about the "look." I pretty much assume all celebs wear weave (lol)

She was one of the original members of Destiny's Child. She has a solo career now.

 

[kandegirl]

Some folks still use this stuff. It's doesn't work for me but my stepmom STILL loves this stuff. You will always find a big bottle under her bathroom sink and it helps her hair.

She does. I read somewhere that she buys her hair from Indique.

 

[Latomian]

Maybe it works for some people???

I remember when I got my first relaxer when I was 14, the hair stylist was telling me that my hair was dry so I NEEDED to use Pink Hair Lotion.

Never again.

here is her real length...and she has some icky blond streaks in but this is her real length.

when was this taken?

Her hair is pretty whether it grew out of her head or not.

Pink lotion matted my hair something awful when I saw a little girl. Mom had to cut some of it out.

I don't mind weaves but if you're selling a hair product I kinda want to see you're real hair
