All Black Italian VogueWell, anyone who is into fashion knows that there is a severe lack of representation of melanin on the runway and especially in high fashion magazines.  Well, to prove to the world how wrong it is for the fashion world to discriminate on what we are told beauty should be, Italian Vogue will show all and nothing but black models in their publication!!! Before you fashionistas of color begin to rejoice in this milestone that, alas! we’ve changed the fashion world!….take a breath and rejoice in a mini milestone, as this expression of black beauty and acceptance is only for their July issue.

But, perhaps this can change points of view in the long run? As my grandmother used to always say “it won’t be as long as it has been.” Now, if we could only get AMERICA to accept its brown and black people, with gladness, in public and in private, we’d be cookin’ with grease! :-)
