The Buckhead area of Atlanta is home to some of the city’s wealthiest, most successful and well-known people, which made Kontrol’s on location photo shoot very becoming of Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. She is a member of TLC, once the largest selling female group in history, and has been on superstardom’s roller coaster of a ride for almost twenty years, yet , she remains humble. Before meeting Chilli, I knew that she was beautiful both inside and out, but in person her big, vibrant and genuine personality was unparallel to her petite frame. Her personality lit up the entire set as she gave Kontrol on “What Chilli Wants” ultimately.
Every girl’s fantasy is to find that special someone –her soul mate– and to share her life, love and happiness with him. Though Chilli has become a global icon for so many women, she remains humble and genuine and shares the same fantasy. She has accomplished major success as a member of TLC; who has sold over 50 million albums world-wide, had four number one hits, numerous top ten hits, three multi-platinum albums, one diamond album, four Grammys and countless other accolades, but her ultimate dream is to find her soul mate. Her hit reality show, “What Chilli Wants” chronicles her quest, which is navigated by love expert Tionna Smalls, for the ‘perfect guy’ for Chilli, who must also live up to all the standards of her famous checklist. On the show she meets several guys who Tionna thinks are a good fit and could possibly be the one, but much to her dismay, Chilli learns that finding a man that fits her criteria is as challenging as anything else and the fact that she was once in a relationship with someone as polished, well-put-together and genuine as Usher doesn’t make the task any easier.-KONTROL
