even the placement of his hands, clutching the iphone.

They were stars. We all knew who they were, what they wore, and where they went. They were personalities, not clothes hangers.

So, I read the original column.

I’m just thinking of Russian Nesting Dolls.

This woman is AWESOME to have done this! I’d never ask my Mom to because, well, she had to have 4 hours of repair surgery after me, then years later a uterine suspension... But to do that for your daughter is so lovely.

NOSTRADAMUS *TOTALLY* PREDICTED GRANDMOTHER BIRTHS GRANDDAUGHTER IN TEXAS!

this is awesome

A little weird, maybe, but also nice. Going through that much hormone therapy to carry a baby to term in a post menopausal body is no small feat. That’s a lot for a mother to go through to give her daughter what she really wants. Good for them, I'm glad it worked out.

yessss

OH WOW the girls in that Turlington does Versace video are so amazing! I am always struck by the uniformity of their proportions; particularly when a non-model (the designer) joins them on the catwalk. All cast from the same mold! And their heads – their tiny little heads!

Because they look like women, as opposed to little skeletal girls. Gorgeous, glamorous, iconic, chic, old hollywood, women -as was the trend at the time.

Takes me back... and there is nobody like them these days...

Dang, She’s good at this!

Yep..this work has definitely moved my lower digestive system.

Well, no. And that’s the real tragedy! Poor white people! Sometimes things aren’t about them! SOMEONE THROW A TELETHON.

Yes, but then she wouldn't be proving the point that these African women are SO beautiful that even a white woman would be willing to look like them for a second-and on the Internet for all the world to see, no less.

What? And establish empathy for actual Black Women without making it about some white person’s “artistic” exploration, that’s ridiculous and would never work! *Cries pitifully into the sunset*

They are! WHY NOT JUST POST THOSE. The women in the original portraits are all absolutely gorgeous.

Good lord this is headache-inducing. The original portraits are so gorgeous too...
