Scary Spice Resembling Her Kid Spices: Cute or Narcissistic?

Melanie Brown was recently seen sporting matching faux hawks with her two daughters.

Her youngest Angel Iris, age 2 was the first to rock the ‘do last summer. Then Angel, also the daughter of Eddie Murphy was joined by eleven-year old older sister Phoenix Chi and then last but not least dear ole’ Mom.

Some might view the multi-generational Spice coiffed trio as cute—maybe Melanie just wanted to play a public game of Mommy pied piper. Or more seriously, maybe she’s channeling her girls to help her turn back the hands of time. In extreme cases, experts call this trend— Melanie’s need to look like her daughters—a sign of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

According to Karyl McBride author of the book, Will I Ever Be Good Enough: Healing The Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers, “nearly 1.5 million women possess NPD which is the need to compete with their daughters daily in looks and often times body size. Many of these girls feel their moms are jealous of them as well.”

So what’s the verdict? Brown is a big girl who has conquered worldwide concert stages, Dancing With The Stars and even a Vegas strip show. Should she bow out of her girls’ child hair play? What do you think? POSTED BY RIR

Lisa Bonet’s Four-Time Mom Funky Style (PHOTOS)

Lisa Bonet may be off the acting radar these days, but then again raising four children (including three under the age of 10) at the youthful age of 43 just might keep you busy that way. These days however,  everyone knows it’s not just about raising your children, it’s also how you look doing it. And the one thing you can always count on, is Lisa looking impeccably stylish whether she’s out and about  with boyfriend and new Conan The Barbarian lead  Jason Momoa or not.

It really doesn’t matter whether she’s pregnant or pushing a stroller, the city sidewalks are Lisa’s own personal fashion runway.  And after all these years it’s good to know there’s still some Denise Huxtable in Lisa. Or, is it the other way around?  More pics after the jump. POSTED BY RIR

Madonna Should Give Mercy A Hair Reinvention

All the public outcries over Shiloh’s bowl haircut seems to be much a-do about nothing. Hasn’t anyone heard of Dorothy Hamill? If we’ve all had our A-Ha moment, now I’d like to pull our collective celeb coif kid glances in another direction, in that of Mercy James Ciccone.

Back when Madonna championed to adopt Miss Mers, as a black mom I didn’t have concerns about what happens when a rich white parent raises a poor black child. Again, I watched Diff’rent Strokes, (I’m a child of the 70s in case you haven’t noticed). My only thought was Mercy’s hair; I feared Madge wouldn’t always know what to do with it. Well, she passed that test with flying colors.

Madge is doing a great job so far (I’ve only seen a couple of pics where Mercy’s coif looked a tad fuzzy.) But overall for a style maven and trendsetter (and a hairstyle cut and color maverick in her own right) like Madonna I thought she’d let daughter Mercy in on some of that fun hairstyling action a little early.

So as a fellow Mom, I’d thought I’d share some ‘additional’ basic Black Hair Style Tips with Madonna. (See Part II for the actual Mercy James hair care tips.) POSTED BY RIR
