Solange Does Complex:: “I want to be taken over sexually behind closed doors”
Solange Knowles seems to be one of everyone’s favorite “it” girls of the moment. From being a once self-proclaimed “rasta girl”, Solange has come into her own with her unique style. The singer/DJ/model is featured in Complex Magazine’s 10thAnniversary Issue. She spoke about her role in relationships, reality TV, and her parents. Peep the excerpts.
On if she would rather be submissive or dominant [in a relationship]:
“Strong, independent women share this sentiment of wanting to be taken over sexually behind closed doors. It’s the natural balance for a woman like me.”
On if she would rather live in the U.S. than Europe:
“I talk sh*t about the American way, and how much more together Europe is as a society, but traveling as much as I have, there are lots of things I appreciate about home. I plan on living in Europe at some point, but for now I’m good in Brooklyn.”
On if she would rather be on “Love & Hip-Hop” or “Project Runway”:
“I’ve never seen Project Runway, but I’m a huge Chrissy [Love & Hip-Hop star Christine Lampkin] fan. I’d need to take boxing lessons from her first though, nahmean?”
On if she would rather have known her parents when they were younger or just as parents:
“My mother was the most stylish, flawless woman I’ve ever seen. My father had a little cool, but my mother was a different breed of cool. I’ve looked through photographs of her that inspire me today. She’s partied at Studio 54, hung out in ski chalets in Colorado, and played Cleopatra in a play in Egypt. She’s insanely cool in her 50s, but I wouldn’t pass up being with her in her prime!”
On what kind of Aunt she’ll be to Blue Ivy:
“The closer my sister came to motherhood, the more stern she was with my son, Julez, but when he was between the ages of 1 and 4, she put the s in spoiling. I had to deal with the cool aunt for seven years, and I’m ready for payback! Late nights, candy binges—I’m doing it all!”
P.S. did anybody know that Solange lived in Brooklyn? I think she just got even cooler to me =).
