[PHOTOS] Model Joan Smalls channels MJ, Diana, Prince & Tupac for W Magazine

I think I might be the last blogger to post these images but … whatevas!! I love them. So I have to share.

Joan Smalls is quickly becoming a girl to watch. She’s made an international name for herself . For the July 2011 issue of W Magazine, Joan channels a few superstars of our time. Remember that MJ Off the Wall album that everyone had (I posted copies of them all over my wall), and that classic Diana slick bun we all wanted, and how about the way Prince made you Adore him in the 80′s, and that late 90′s Thug Life love from Tupac – well Joan is giving us that and much more!

UPDATE: I originally wrote that Joan had a child with sickle cell. My apologies for confusing my “J’s”.. that’s Jordan Dunn with the baby! Ooopies, even bloggers make mistakes!
