By now most of you know that the July 2008 issue of Italian Vogue is to be an "all-Black" issues, prominantly featuring Black models on both the cover and the editorial pages, along with stories on Blacks in arts and entertainment. [See New York Times article here]
This is groundbreaking considering the virtual LOCK OUT of Black models on the runway the past few years. Used to be you'd see Tyra, Naomi, Mounia, Veronica or 3 or 4 of their protogees walking the runway in any given show. Now Black models are speaking out about being deliberately excluded from these shows.
Ain't it something that ITALIAN VOGUE is the one to take a stand on this issue? I mean, don't we live in what's supposedly the most DIVERSE NATION ON EARTH? What's up with American Vogue?....Oh yes, they're too busy putting up SAVAGE BEAST imagery on their covers for kicks (remember the LeBron James one???).
In any case, your friend G-n-B has been looking high and low and can't find this joint on the newsstands for bookstores anywhere. HOLLA AT ME PLEAS, IF YOU KNOW WHERE WE CAN GET IT?????
