Vogue Italia presents: Vogue Curvy

I forgot to metion in my last post that Vogue Italia has also dedicated a website to the cuvier fashionistas called Vogue Curvy.

This idea I actually like. Not everyone, in fact, the majority of most populations around the world are not stick thin. Most women in the world have cuves and this website embraces it! I love it*

Vogue Italia presents: Vogue Black

Vogue Italia created a new website called Vogue Black.

Since the popularity of their "Black Issue" and the "Barbie Issue", the magazine decided it would be a good idea to have a whole website dedicated to Black models and trendsetters.

Honestly, I don't know how to feel about this. A part of me is happy while the other side remains confused. I feel happy, because finally the most powerful fashion magazine in the world has recognized the Black race in their magazine. The images you see in Vogue magazine are prodominantly "white" and now Vogue Italia is finally starting to show acknowledgement. It's nice that they're showing some of the great fashion occurrences. On the other hand, I feel confused because now it seems like were even more segregated than before. Its like the regular Vogue magazine and website is for White America and the one "Black Issue" of Vogue and the Vogue Black website is solely for Black America.

I wish they could just publish an issue that equally showed different aspects of fashion between different cultures.

What do you think?

Keke Palmer: Young, Black, and Fabulous

If this face isn't familiar to you, then it soon will be. Keke Palmer is a young actress/ singer who has explored both the small and big screen. She currently has her own show, "True Jackson VP", on nickelodeon and even created a fashion line dedicated to it. She's also starred in "Akeelah and the Bee", "Jump In", and "Madea's Family Reunion". I watch her show all the time and let me say...Its hilarious! I'm a big kid at heart, so I don't think I'll ever get tired of nickelodeon.

Other than her great acting ability and singing voice, her style is incredible!
It's crazy to see how much she's matured since her child roles.
