Mary J. Blige is featured in the November 2010 issue of Gotham Magazine.
In the issue Mary talks about what she does on a day off:
“Mandarin Oriental has the best spa in New York. Lately I’ve been treating myself to massages and getting as much rest as I can, because when you have to deal with so many people in the world, it’s draining. You have to replenish by going home, reading. Every morning I have a daily routine that I read—something spiritual to keep me going. That’s how I give back to myself. I need it.”
She also talks about her sense of style:
“I’ve grown to know my body and what fits and works for it. I guess I can say my style is “less is more.” I can’t do a lot of makeup, I can’t do a lot of accessories, and I have to wear clothes that fit the lines of my body or it’s gonna look like, What does she have on? I guess I call that safe dressing.”
Mary also talks about something close to her heart, The Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now:
“My foundation, FFAWN, is everything that Mary J. Blige’s movement is about, from my music on down, which has been to uplift women and empower us and help us to realize how strong we are. Sending all these young women to college and opening The Mary J. Blige Center for Women in Yonkers—all of that is very rewarding to me.”
