French Vogue Paints White Model Black For Front Cover by mrsb(f): 10:29am On Oct 16, 2009
Have you seen this? what do you think?!
Art/Fashion or Racism?

*********************************
French Vogue has gotten into some more haute controversy.

This month's issue of the fashion magazine features a photoshoot with white supermodel Lara Stone in blackface, according to Jezebel.com.

No stranger to shocking shoots — it recently featured a faux-pregnant model smoking a cigarette— the magazine enlisted photographer Steven Klein to shoot the 14-page spread, styled by editor Carine Rotifeld.

The story that goes along with the photos praises Stone for her "radical break with the wave of anorexic models."

lara stone looks like MOWGLI THE BLACK DOLL cheesy, all that is remainning is for a jamaican voodoo priest to stick needles in her so that she can have a convulsion, or to twist her broom-like legs to break into pieces lipsrsealed

so? whats wrong if she was painted blacker than my arse? The way blacks play this racism card ehn, tufiakwa. if a black woman was painted white the whites wont even notice but all the low self esteem blacks would shout their voices hoarse when white is painted black they will jump out and cry foul again. I think its time blacks just live life and forget about this racism card they always carry around in their pockets oh jare.
