Jenna, is Joan's cover a March or April issue?

Sherry Balafonte seemed to be a Diana Vreeland favorite. She had about five or so Vogue covers.

It's worth noting that in the 80's Diana Vreeland seemed to have no issue with putting a Blk model on the cover of Vogue since I've come across plenty of 80's issues with Blk models on the cover.

Congrats Joan Smalls.

Speaking as a black middle-middle class recent Smith graduate

I bet those parties are of the Mandingo sort. She seems like the sort of lady who loves being ravished by the help.

Man the 1% are really starting to shows their collective arses aren't they? I'm just waiting for the day some lady in pearls and a cashmere twinset calls me a peasant.

That was a great movie. If you want to give me a movie about Black folks back in the day, give me something like "The Great Debaters". Tichinia Arnold made a blk maid movie a few years ago, Hope and Redemption:The Lena Baker Story, but it was too much for the mainstream so it never got much traction in the MSM. Some…

Will there ever be another Rae Dong Chong,Diahann Carroll or even Robin Givens who is allowed to act in multi layered roles in Hollywood. Roles where we don't get the one sided Black woman.

For a black actress, winning an Oscar means a Catwoman role.

Hollywood for insisting on rewarding talented Blacktresses in demeaning roles should've died when Hattie McDaniel did.

Sometimes I wonder if Halle Berry gets hate from other women because she's so darn pretty.

I'm Ron Burgundy,

it needs to accept black actresses that don't look like Halle Berry or Thandie Newton.

Oh that was another movie I skipped. IIRC, weren't all of one of the Blk actresses "caretakers" of Dakota Fanning?

but I find that when it comes to high heels, a wide vs. regular makes a huge different in comfort

I loved "Kell On Earth", I think it was one of the best reality shows ever. I just don't remember that episode.

"Every ad features models age 16 to 22 with a blank stare, when the real consumer in luxury fashion stores is more like 35 to 65," he says. "I hate when a woman says she's 45 as if it's a bad thing."
