Nicki Minaj chit-chats with the Paper about her style, her lyrics and Pink Friday, her album, which is set to drop in November. Here we see her photographed by Dan Monick. Niki Schwan handled the styling and Terrence Davidson did her hair. One more image after the flip.

Paper magazine just put up on feature with 12 creative women, who get a chance to explore their masculine side by dressing up as guys in a feature called “She’s Got Balls.” The transformation are pretty good, in a million years you’d never guess some of them. One of the best parts though are their quotes on the experience. Said Charlotte Ronson, transformed above, “I just had to stand there and be serious and not smile, and I’m very good at that.” So true that about men and seriousness! Two more after the flip. Try and guess…stumped? Float your cursor over the image and it will show the name.

After posting up images from the CFDA awards, it was pointed out to me that the super-fun necklace Paper magazine editor Kim Hastreiter (who won Eugenia Sheppard Award for journalism excellence) wore was designed by none other than Claw! On her site, she talks about the design and features a couple of others from the same collection. Always the best to see the ladies we know and love the most get the recognition they deserve.

Looky-loo who was picked to be featured in this month’s Paper mag feature on stylish bloggers, none other than my partner in crime, SGP! Looking good, ma soeur. (Don’t tell her I’m telling…cuz she’d kill me, but she’s the one featured on the far left.) Check back later this week when we post up images from an upcoming Yana handbags show, which she will be styling. For behind-the-scene images from the shoot, click here.
