    Allure is a U.S. women’s beauty magazine, published monthly by Conde Nast in New York City. It was founded in 1991 by Linda Wells. Michelle Lee replaced Wells in 2015. A signature of the magazine is its annual Best of Beauty awards—accolades given in the October issue to beauty products deemed the best by magazine staff.

    History

    In 1990, S.I. Newhouse Jr., chairman of Condé Nast, and then editorial director Alexander Liberman approached Linda Wells to develop a concept they had for a beauty magazine. At the time, Wells was the beauty editor and the food editor at The New York Times Magazine.

    The magazine’s prototype was shredded shortly before the scheduled launch date and, after overhauling everything (including the logo), Allure made its debut in March 1991 designed by Lucy Sisman. The magazine’s original format was oversize, but this prevented it from fitting into slots at grocery-store checkouts and required advertisers to resize their ads or create new ones. After four issues, Allure changed to a standard-size glossy format.

    Allure (band)

    Allure is a New York-based R&B girl group that formed in the early 1990s as a quartet, now a trio. Original members were Alia Davis, Linnie Belcher, Lalisha Sanders and Akissa Mendez.


    Career

    The group released their debut self-titled album in 1997. The album featured "Head Over Heels" (featuring Nas) (US #35), "No Question" (featuring LL Cool J), "All Cried Out" (featuring 112), a Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam cover and their biggest hit to date (US #4), and "Last Chance.

    After being released from Mariah Carey's label Crave Records, Allure signed with MCA Records in 2000, eventually issuing their second album, Sunny Days, in 2001. The album yielded two singles: "Enjoy Yourself" and "Kool Wit Me". Soon after, member Linnie Belcher left the group, and they signed with NBA player Ron Artest's newly formed label, Tru Warier Records, distributed by Lightyear Entertainment.

    In 2002, they appeared in the Tom Jones' Mr. Jones album, in the song "The Letter". The album was produced by Wyclef Jean, Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis and Jones himself.

    Allure

    by: Jay-Z

    Young! For life
    Once again it's the life, yessss
    (I don't know why, I.. get so high on)
    It's intoxicatin man, y'all don't know why you do what you do
    (Get so high on, get so high - high off the life)
    The allure of breakin the law
    Is always too much for me to ever ignore
    I gotta thing for them big body Benzes, it dulls my senses
    In love with a V-Dub engine
    Man I'm high off life, fuck it I'm wasted
    Bey Venay kicks, or them Marvin Kaye wrists
    My women friend get tennis bracelets
    Trips to Venice, get they winters replaced with
    The sun, it ain't even fun no more I'm jaded
    Man, it's just a game, I just play it to play it
    I put my feet in the footprints left to me
    Without sayin a word, the ghetto's got a mental telepathy
    Man my brother hustled so, naturally
    Up next is me, but what perplexes me
    Shit I know how this movie ends, still I play
    The starrin role in "Hovito's Way"
    It's just life, I solemnly swear
    To change my approach, stop shavin coke
    Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
    Cause I be doin the most.. oh no!
    But every time I felt that was that, it called me right back
    It called me right back, man it called me right back - oh no!
    I'm like a Russian mobster, drinkin distilled vodka
    'Til I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real
    Peal the top up like a toupee
    Mix the water, with the soda
    Turn the pot up make a souflee
    All of y'all can get it like group page in your 2-way
    I'm livin proof that crime do pay
    Say hooray to the bad guy, and all the broads
    Puttin cars in they name for the stars of the game
    Puttin 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train
    All in the name of love
    Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came
    Over the house to take back, everything that they claimed
    Or even the worst pain is the distress
    Learnin you're the mistress only after that love gets slain
    And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust
    Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain
    But the allure of the game, keeps callin your name
    To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
    To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes
    We all hustlers, in love with the same thang
    I never felt more alive than ridin shotgun
    In Cline's green 5 until the cops pulled guns
    And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need
    What the game did to my pulse, with no results
    And you can treat your nose and still won't come close
    The game is a light bulb with eleventy-million volts
    And I'm just a moth, addicted to the floss
    And doors lift from the floor and the tops come off
    By any means necessary, whatever the cost
    Even if it means lives is lost..
    And I can't explain why, I just love to get high
    Drink life, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
    I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink three times
    I may not even be alive
    How mean James Dean couldn't escape the allure
    Dyin young, leavin a good lookin corpse
    Of course
    Once again it's the life
    I said it's the life
    Once again it's the life - oh no!
    (I don't why I) why I (get so high on)
    Get so (get so high on) uh-huh
    (get so high - high off the life!)
