Fashion isn't as racist as I first thought, Vogue has featured two Black women on the cover two issues in a row. Beyonce Knowles leaves her "Sasha Fierce" look behind as she follows up after First Lady Michelle Obama graces this month issue. I like the cover as it's very simple but at the same time I just wanna scream, "WHERE'S THE FASHION ?!" at Anna Wintour, Vogue's Editor-in-chief. I can't remember the last time a Model was featured on the cover. American magazines are more focused on celebrities than magazines in other nations. I'm guessing in order to sell more books, well enough of my gabbing.Kudos for placing a woman with an actual shape, on the SHAPE issue. Ms Knowles also known as Mrs. Carter looks fantastic wearing a cobalt blue dress, don't you agree?
