From a glance at the pic, it is apparent that the “starving 12 year old” look is back. Where are the healthy-looking women of what ever race?

[Third Person]

Where the black women at?

[bigheadfred]

When it comes to high fashion I didn’t know the Twiggy look ever left.

[luvbach1]

where are all the white basketball players?

White men can't jump. Except in the Olympics.

[bigheadfred]

yeah huh

I had a real thing for Veronica Webb, back in the 90’s. She could have negotiated my 401K account. This is coming from a 68 years young, black man. When they start looking like her and Linda Evangelista, they will be on the runway. Another one of my favorites.

Interestingly, I believe modeling is the only job where the employer can openly hire people based on their race.

[exit82]

a trend of exclusion that is glaringly insulting and simply unacceptable to me.

Victim Alert! Victim Alert!

Serena Williams models her own clothes...

White fashion models are for the most part singularly unattractive. Actually, that is true for fashion models in general, regardless of hue.

What’s wrong with full lips ? Thin lips are plain unattractive.

[Reverend Wright]

“... where are the black models...?”

i don’t know, ask the white fags who run the fashion industry...

[Sirius Lee]

I liked the Ethiopian chick and then the Zimbabwe chick.

We on a safari? It looks like we are on a safari.

“Not only is your remark racist”

Road apples. Hypersensitive PC merde like that has no place in reasoned discourse.

I’m sure, of course, that you would call a negro woman racist if she said the same thing about white men—because PC is always logically congruent.

I haven’t said this out loud before, but by about 6 months of Obeyme’s reign, I noticed more blacks in T.V. commercials than ever before.

It stands to reason many blacks would align themselves with the first (half) black president; the same for producers of commercials, so I thought ‘go for it while you can.’
An opportunity is an opportunity.

"I accepted the designer’s invite and proudly took my front-row seat among other celebrities"

So.....she is calling herself a celebrity? Who is this dimwit?

[cherry]

that is REAL stereotyping.....there are many many very attractive black women....I am a typical discriminating person, and I have issues with black culture, but I would never ever say what you said...I know differently....

big problem in American culture is that all you guys think you deserve a 5'11 skinny pale skin woman with naturally blonde hair and even though such a woman is very thin, walaaaaa, she has great big bazoomers....well, such a woman exists only in barbie dolls....have fun with that...
