As Always, White Is Right...

Why am I not surprised by this?

Once Again, White Is the New White

This isn't the first season that [B]lack women have gone missing from the runway. Styles go in and out of favor and so do models. But ever since the demise of the supermodel in the early '90s, the fashion industry has been stubbornly unwilling to make room for more than one [B]lack model per show. Other than the occasional star -- Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede and now Chanel Iman -- [B]lack women go unrepresented.

Gone For The Duration

I've barely posted this past year really, but I am finishing up an apt. move, preparing to enjoy some time with the hubby and family and don't know when I'll have internet access at the new apt.

So, I'll definitely not post till next month at the earliest. And if it's close to Thanksgiving, it's possible that I won't post again till early December.
