W Who times 6: Yaya DaCosta
Posted Sep 4, 2010
Second runner up for America’s Next Top Model, Yaya’s career flourished
afterwards as she began acting. Remember "Take the Lead" with Antonio Banderas?
There she was dancing. Then she stopped the dance and decided to play parts in
independent movies such as "Honeydripper" (2007) and the "Messenger" (2009). A
few moments of Soap-tv with All My Children, a stop by Broadway. Daughter of the
excruciating Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty, all the way to a role next to
Annette Benning in "The Kids Are All Right". Last but definitely not least:
landing a supporting role in the upcoming "Tron Legacy".
Really it’s too much to take it all in. W explains why she is part of the 6 fabulous new actresses they have decided for their cover as their being “fearless” and have a better knack at acting than young male actors. We are definitely scarily impressed. Oh Ya Ya.

In an exclusive interview with Swide, Mr. Gandy talks about his life and shows us that even away from the Dolce&Gabbana stage he is... a real gentleman.
This is what happened when Swide's very own Englishman in Milan, Ben Taylor, met the Italian beauty Bianca Balti. An interview, which ends with a kiss, reveals a couple of her secrets...
Together, as Swide, we shared our new year’s resolution with you, our readers. Love it or hate it, today is St. Valentine’s Day and we want to take the opportunity to share our thoughts on the Big L with you and how to be happy when in love.
We all do it, we all fall in love and it can happen any day of the year, usually when you least expect it. So why do we celebrate all lovers on this one day February 14th every year? Who was St. Valentine and why is he the patron saint of lovers?
It's Valentine's Day, and that's great. Restaurants will be thriving with happy couples celebrating. But what about singles, who want to eat alone - not only then, but all-year-round - without feeling uncomfortable?
A dozen long stemmed red roses is a thoughtful and appreciated gift. But for the more adventurous lovers out there, why not shop around for a more exotic bunch?
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and today I have a special treat for you. I have asked 7 of my illustrator friends a few questions related to this special occasion and, to make this article special, 2 of them have each prepared an original Dolce & Gabbana art work as a Valentine’s gift to the Swide readers.
Have you ever thought about Palermo as the ideal city for lovers? St. Valentine’s day is coming and I’d like to suggest to you the top 5 romantic places in my city: each location has a little story behind it all relating to love... let’s discover them!
