Nicki Minaj Poses for Vogue, Talks Make-Up and Inspiring Young Girls

Nicki Minaj has landed her dream shoot! This year she was hoping that she would land the cover of Vogue magazine and she has indeed done so! All of the pics from the spread have not been released yet but the one above is the one that has been talked about everywhere on the web. Check out some excerpts below from the upcoming issue.

On discovering make up at LaGuardia High School
I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.

On not being label-obsessed but admitting to spending $50,000 at one time on certain items
If I can combine designer things with other things, I’m a happy camper. Giuseppe, Versace, YSL, and Fendi shoes. And I bought tons of Vuitton bags. When you’re a young girl from Queens, you’re going to stock up on those bags.

On what she’s planning to do for young girls 
An enormous foundation to nurture girls. The Nicki Minaj girl is a fun, artsy girl who can become a fierce force to be reckoned with on Wall Street! They hang on my every word, so I tell them, go to school, be ambitious. The worst position is to be financially dependent on the man. I could never be that girl.
