Aaliyah: GAVIN Magazine, New Orleans, 1997

🔁 via @officiallipgame: “Aaliyah autographed my column for #djmixxula at GAVIN New Orleans in 1997. She was there supporting her Atlantic labelmates Timbaland, Artifacts and Lil Kim. Shared a limo and much laughter with her and her lovely parents to the hotel, where I interviewed Timbo for 3 hours. That conversation would become his very first trade magazine feature. To be united energetically with her handwriting over my words is beautiful. There will never be another. #RIPBabygirl #GavinEra #Thembisa25 #lipgame eternal” | What a beautiful memory! Thank you for sharing with us all and thank you @xxbabygirlaaliyahxx for the tag! 🙏💚

Aaliyah: Rare Photo

Repost via @grave_stone who shared this beautiful rare gem from a Japanese magazine. From what I can tell, this definitely looks like the OIAM era in 1996.  I often see many rare pictures in Japanese magazines, so I wonder how many more we have yet to see! :o) Thank you for sharing with #TeamAaliyah.

Aaliyah Archives: News & Written Interview (CosmoGIRL! October/November 1999 Issue)

I was a bit taken back about this when I found out, but I thought I would share the news with everyone :o) One of our fellow #TeamAaliyah familia members personally asked Aaliyah's Brother Rashad Haughton about a personal stuffed monkey, in which he replied with the comment above. For all those who are unaware, it was a very sentimental toy which was given to Aaliyah by her Grandmother. In an article, which CameToGiveLove shared awhile back, you can read the written interview below where Aaliyah talks about this, amongst many other things like family, relationships, pet peeves etc... :o)

CosmoGIRL!: October/November 1999 Issue

As you can see, both Rashad and Aaliyah had the same stuffed animal toy which Aaliyah named hers Lina and Rashad Lil'. To know that it's still with her today would of meant a lot to her. But all we can say is that she is finally united with both her Father and Grandmother. This was truly touching to know...♥

Aaliyah: Special Message From Jonathan Mannion

By @jonathanmannion: “The beautiful Aaliyah Dana Haughton would have celebrated her 36th Birthday tomorrow, 1/16/15. In celebration of her life, I felt compelled to give back to so many people who have been inspired by her exceptional talent, confidence and strength. She had one of the sweetest spirits that I’ve ever encountered. I’m honored to have collaborated with her and to have the ability to share these truly special images with you. Tomorrow at 11:11am EST, I will release this signed limited-edition 5x7 print for purchase from my archives for $100. It will be available for 24 HOURS ONLY at www.jonathanmannion.com/store. I thank all of the Aaliyah fans for the constant support that you show me by posting my photos of her and for keeping her legacy soaring! I encourage everyone to begin to collect art that moves your soul. Blessings."

Even though these are not photos of #Aaliyah, these are beautiful illustrations pegged as a 'pending' fashion spread in the article, so I thought it would be cool to identify these runway items. Courtesy of The Aaliyah Archives, firstview.com and Style Bistro."
