Because “Fat” People Couldn’t Possibly Be Fashionable…



Italian Vogue launched a new website called “Vogue Curvy.”  Ya know, for the thick’ems. Cuz heaven forbid we be included in the pages of any fashion magazine on a regular basis.
(*insert sarcastic sigh and eyeroll here*)

Anyway, the website features photos and videos of famous plus-sized models and celebs (or, Curvy Icons as the site calls them). “Vogue Curvy” also gives daily fashion suggestions and “how to wear” guides for the “glam and curvy,” plus links to fashion and accessories trends seen in Vogue.

Meh! I get that Vogue is trying to teach us "thick in the hips" types how to dress ourselves and all, but thanks... I'm doing okay in that arena.  Plus, I’m kinda over this whole singling-out stuff. Women are women. Designers need to learn how to dress us all.  Period.

Once You Go Black, You Must Come Back!: Italian Vogue "Black Barbie" Edition






Italian Vogue will commemorate last year's all Black model issue via Barbie this July....... featuring page after page of Negro Barbies! YES! if you loved Barbie growing up and still do or if you have babies that love her this might be a nice thing to purchase and keep.

STORY.....

Last July, Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani put out an issue featuring only black models, to make a statement about the lack of diversity in the fashion industry. This year, the July magazine isn't dedicated entirely to black models (42-year-old model Kristen McMenamy appears on the cover). But in commemoration of last year's groundbreaking issue, a special July supplement is dedicated not to black models, but black Barbie dolls. Barbie first came out with a black doll, called "Francie," in 1967, and in 1980 the first black Barbie doll launched. The new Italian Vogue supplement sounds like a cleverly orchestrated promotion for Barbie's next line of black dolls, called the "So In Style" dolls. British Vogue reports:
