Lisa Raye McCoy looks like an orange blossom! How lovely she looks in her shoot for the cover of this weeks Rolling Out! I love her orange dress, the Loubi heels and the hair and makeup. In her interview she talks about starting over, having a happier life and more. To read the complete interview click here. You look hott Ms.Lisa Raye and her new reality show comes out soon Single Ladies on Vh1 and she will be hosting a party here on Saturday! Check back for pics. xoxo

When “LisaRaye: The Real McCoy” first debuted on TV One, there was a lot of criticism and head-scratching as the general public wondered aloud why she was doing reality TV. Undaunted by the scrutiny, McCoy not only stepped boldly into the new venture, but she conquered it in the process by delivering the highest ratings in the network’s  seven-year history.

That surprising success begat more opportunities, as VH1 came forward with a new show offer, “Single Ladies,” and a wellspring of other lucrative ventures began to present themselves to McCoy. Such a positive reversal of fortune would cause many to gloat in the face of the countless doubters and detractors. But that doesn’t seem to be McCoy’s style.
Instead, she just continues to work hard, seemingly unaware of what the detractors are saying. Negative energy has no place in this new-and-improved world of McCoy’s, and, to be frank, it makes her all the more pleasant to be around.

Friends out to support

They both grew up in Detroit,Michigan and Sarah was quoted as saying that, “we go way back, we use to call LaTonya, “Tonka” when she was a rapper” lol. They have supported each other through the years and she was happy to fly out from Los Angeles where she resides now with her 3 children. Sarah is working on a new single to come out late this fall.
