... Black Girls Ruled in and on Trace Magazine. This said, I am excited about Vogue Italia's issue celebrating the diversity of black beauty -- I just wonder when American Vogue (and Elle, and Harper's Bazaar, and every other magazine that purports to be an authority on American fashion and beauty) will get the memo that beauty comes red, yellow, black and white -- and not just in July.

YES!!!!!!!!!

Bravo!!!

I am still amazed as I look around and see online site like Style, Style List, etc. and all I see are people of non-color.

Things that make one go..., but we have an African-American as the Democratic nominee. Go figure.

Yes, it's so true. Beauty is INTERNATIONAL!!! And eternal. Not for the editors of Vogue to decide.

It is fabulous that the July issue is the all black issue, black models need just as much coverage as everyone else! Although Vogue is not the major arbiter of equality, but at least it is a step in the right direction. There defiantly needs to be more “Bianca’s” recognized in the industry.
I’m currently working with Toyota and I’m really hyped when it comes to spreading the word about the new interactive If Looks Could Kill webisodes. They follow an aspiring fashion assistant who is a prime example of a woman whos’ got it going on. I’m talking the dream job, man who’s got all the ladies drooling, and the spice to keep it all together. Think James Bond meets Sanaa Lathan in Something New.
You’ll have to see what I’m talking about. I can’t wait to read your thoughts on the first episode so we can chit-chat abut what’s really going on. Don’t be surprised when you find yourself being reeled in like bait. That will make two of us!
I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you. After viewing your blog and seeing how hip to the game you are when it comes to what’s hot and current, I figured this would be something that would catch your interest.
Looking forward to the girl talk Best,
