Woman warrior. Black panther. Domestic terrorist. Escaped convict.

Assata Shakur is still in exile today, living in Cuba since 2005, for her controversial reputation as one of few visible women members of the Black Panther party. She is misunderstood by many, but here at Limité we decidedly love her. Why? She is one bad ass lady. She fought unapologetically for freedom and justice, even when it took her to maximum security prisons for crimes she did not commit. In the 1970s, a time when state repression tried to wipe out all forms of black resistance, this woman (get it girl!) stood strong for her voice to be heard in the American consciousness. She brings integrity and a beautiful face to the phrase “black power.” But don’t take it from me, read her words yourself: (more…)

There is truly a God! V Magazine has turned the spotlight on all the lovely beautiful plus-size women in the industry in their new issue.

Miranda July does not belong in a box. That is opposed to so many of us who can easily be catalogued and sorted by whatever banner it is we wave. Athlete. Bartender. Cardiologist. July, on the other hand, is as multi-faceted as a Swiss Army knife. Her sharp, creative prowess allows her to take the form of filmmaker, performance artist, and writer. With considerable success in all ventures, the woman who was born Miranda Jennifer Grossinger reached a certain height in 2005 with the release of her first feature film, Me and You and Everyone We Know. But that was just one rung on a rather tall ladder of artistic achievements. (more…)

When you love something or someone, it comes from your heart, much as Oprah Winfrey’s extraordinary charity work and dedication to the mass media and communications industry.  For years her loving heart and mission to change the world has affected both national and international communities alike.  She is an international household name, an icon, philanthropist, activist, friend, caregiver, and so much more.  Oprah Winfrey is a woman we love because she is an example of karma, and that people can overcome anything.  She is a powerful self-made woman who is a role model for women and men of all ethnic backgrounds.

What is there to say about Olivia Munn – the multi-talented co-host of G4TV’s Attack of the show, (NON-NUDE) model in playboy’s latest issue & actress in the upcoming “Iron Man 2″. She is goofy, sexy & elegant all wrapped into 1 (She’s also very busy & couldn’t give us an interview, so this will have to do). Photo’s after the jump (more…)

Our very own Desboobs and her partner in crime, Glossy scored a Q&A with the lovely ladies from Missbehave and as always they are a hilarious duo that keeps you wondering what’s underneath the next girl shirt with their no-hold-bars content and we love them endlessly for that. Read below an excerpt from their Q&A and follow the link for the rest.

We love the sexual vibe on The Boobs. Any good sex stories for us?

Desboobs: Ahaha an ex and I used to get real into it during sex. One time we had stumbled into his place, half drunk mostly horny, and started going at it. Well halfway through it, he decided it would be a good idea to get that long wall mirror in front of us for our own personal show. But since we were drunk, he grabbed the mirror too hard and basically hit me in the fucking face with it. We had to stop, make sure I wasnt cut or bleeding, then resumed our doggystyle position. I ended up getting a black eye the next day which lasted me the rest of the week.

The “Queen of Burlesque”, sexiness, elegance, and fetish, Miss Dita Von Teese is a fair skinned beauty that we all can’t help but love.  Armed with a vintage style and enough sexual confidence for all of female-kind. Dita is one of the first names that comes to mind where modern dance is involved. As an accomplished ballerina, model, and burlesque dancer Von Teese, born Heather Sweet, is in a sex class of her own.

A fan of the 1930’s, ‘40’s, and ‘50’s burlesque shows Dita embarked on her career at the age of 18, as a stripper in California. However, the creative and innovative Von Teese was bored with the “average” costume and routine and put her costume design skills to work as she re-invented her own look. (more…)

She’s an educated, gorgeous culinary master who has worked as both model and actress. She’s Padma Parvati Lakshmi — and she is, without a doubt — a woman we (more than) love. Some of you may recognize her as the host of Bravo series Top Chef, and as such, it’s both apropos and endearing to see her, in all her beauty, featured in the new Hardee’s restaurant commercials. We admit that Padma provides a very appetizing alternative to the product she’s representing — but at the same time, she keeps us hungry for more. Yum.

Apart from having an amazing body, Ms. Rose has a amazing fashion sense and she looks finger licking good (sorry Ladies) but Amber Rose is everything a hipster would want in a women, gorgeous women, sexy style and warrior sex appetite. Sources stated that Amber was once all about the ladies and is a former adult dancer, but that doesn’t hold Kanye West from making Amber his lady, and I wouldn’t have either. He said it himself in ‘Stronger’:

“This is Louis Vuitton Don night / So we gonna do everything that Kan like / Heard they’d do anything for a Klondike / Well I’d do anything for a blonde dyke / And she’ll do anything for the limelight / And we’ll do anything when the time’s right / Baby you’re makin’ it harder, better, faster, stronger.”

“If you cut out the excess and extravagance, what you’ll have is a return to personal creativity, a rich creativity that has nothing to do with how much money you have.”-N.V.

Nicola Vassell, a Jamaican-born, former model who is currently a director at Deitch Gallery in New York, was the focus of  a New York Times feature, ”A Shaper of Talent for a Changing World.

Like many of her contemporaries she represents a crop of young current individuals whose presence is well needed in the classical art world.
