Mary J. Blige, the hip-hop soul singer that dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, has more then made up for dropping out. In the last 20 years she has recorded eight multi platinum albums, won nine grammys, appeared on television and in film. At this weekends Essence Music Festival, Mary J. will unveil her new women’s perfume “My Life”, and , yes, she has also received her high school diploma.
Mary J. Blige is now preparing to launch Melodies, which is a new eye wear line by, who other then, Mary J. Blige. She is also learning french for a film she is starring in about the jazz singer Nina Simone.
Mary J. Blige’s “My Life” will go on sale July 31st on the HSN television shopping network. Her new fragrance is floral with notes of gardenia, Bartlett pear and white freesia, finished with undertones of wood, praline, sesame and incense. A bottle of this perfume will go for $46, and from every sale, one dollar will go to her foundations work, aiding disadvantaged women.
Mary says that she was 100% involved in the making of this perfume and that it’s soft and edgy, strong, smart and sexy, everything that she imagines herself to be. I’m rather excited to experience this new fragrance, if only to satisfy my own curiosity, that it is all that Mary claims it is.
