MK: Totally. So the rules broke down. It probably wasn't possible in fashion before, but today there are three generations of customers. For example, we had a dress this past spring that was worn by both Mary J. Blige and [socialite] Nan Kempner! I don't know that there's one ideal anymore, and I think people like you kind of paved the way.

CS: It's pretty interesting. It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black. My mother's mother was black. I'm Jewish, black, Cuban, and French.

MK: So you're eclectic by nature. You know that old song by the Buggies "Video Killed the Radio Star"? Now it's really challenging in the music business for people who don't look a certain way. You've gotta be able to push people's buttons visually. Have you ever seen American Idol?

Jessica Szohr, whom portrays "Vanessa Abrams" on the hit show Gossip Girl, is a quadroon. She was born to a Hungarian mother and a mulatto father.
Jessica is a clean cut cross between her mixes. She looks a tad bit more than a quarter Black. On the show, she is very pale-skinned, but on many of her modeling pictures and appearances on other shows, she is much darker.

I think Jessica is one of two of the only attractive women on the Gossip Girl cast. Highly underrated. She’s so cute!
