‘Hips on Parentheses’: Draya Michele Woos Fans with Her Shapely Figure

It’s safe to say the hip-to-waist ratio for swimsuit designer Draya Michele has fans going gaga for another glimpse at her sexy figure. After posting a flick of herself rocking a white miniskirt with a white cropped, long-sleeve top, folks peeping her photo on the ‘Gram were probably left wiping drool from their faces.

The Mint Swim line owner paired the ‘fit with some nearly knee-high python heeled boots. Her hair flowed with natural waves and she rocked a crimson lip.

The simple photo racked up more than 135,000 likes and attracted just as many folks to leave comments.

Michele wrote,” It’s getting nice outside (my house) in LA” as the caption.

“It’s the bawdy for me, like a effortless hourglass”

“Rockin them boots,” said one person.

“šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„Dang girl, work them curves!,” commented another.

“Well set it off den!” and “Hips on parenthesesšŸ˜” commented others.

The former fiancĆ© to ex-NFL baller Orlando Scandrick has posted one swoon-worthy pic after the next since their December split. From shots of her in form-fitting outfits to barely-there bikinis, the 35-year-old Michele has made it obvious that she’s not missing out on life without a man.

In late March she celebrated being in the swimwear game for 10 years with a Mint Swim billboard over her LA-based nail shop, The Brand Nails.

Giving herself the flowers she’s worked for, Michele wrote on social, “Today is a surreal day for me. My first billboard ever! @mintswimusa is my baby and I’m thankful that summer of 2020 will be my 10th year in the business. On the corner of Ventura Blvd + Reseda in Tarzana directly on top of the my nail shop @thebrandnails and on top of my store @mintswimusa … now I officially own the corner. #youcanbeANYTHING.”

Fans also proud of her achievements and growth since her days on “Basketball Wives Los Angeles” flooded her with supportive comments.

“This is amazing, congratulations you deserve it!”

“I remember when you were on bwla shopping for fabric. So proud of your success!!ā¤ļø”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
