Since this is a fashion, culture and political blog (and some of you don't get that but whateve's read what you like and move on) I wanted to share with you an article that incorporated all elements of this fine blog.

"I believe the fashion industry has taken note on this serious issue. The greater number of ethnic models seen on the runway is apparent," he said.
Others said discussions of the issue and media attention had stirred the industry's consciousness.

"It is my hope because of Michelle Obama that fashion will grasp it and redefine beauty," said fashion author Kathryn Finney, referring to the Democratic candidate's wife.
Gunn added that not just the runways need to change.
"I would like to see more diversity among fashion designers," he said. "With more support for designers of color, that can help this issue as well."

I hope there is a change and very soon because our Black Supermodels are getting older and in both cases (Naomi & Tyra) crazier!
