Have Times Changed?

In 1966 model Donyale Luna was the first Black woman or any woman of color for that manner to pose on the cover of Vogue magazine. A model who was known for creating elaborate stories about her ethnicity to appear exotic rather than plain ole black.

Do you notice how her hands coyly cover her features? The purpose was as not to offend white readers. Now fast forward 42 years into the present. We have Beyonce Knowles who may have or may have not allowed her features to be altered for financial gain or mainstream acceptance for an ad for Loreal Cosmetics.

Has our society changed that much in four decades? Or are we still stuck in the 60’s.

What the Stars are Doing This Summer

Patti LaBelle

Were going on a 10-day cruise to Greece…And then Im gonna probably end up loving the sun. I have a home in Eleuthera (Bahamas) that I hardly visit, but Im gonna go there too. When i go there, we go to the dock and get some fresh fish and bring it back and cook it.

Ciara

In the summers I like to have a lot of fun while riding through ther city of Atlanta with the top down, enjoying barbecues and taking beach trips. With my boyfriend, I enjoy taking vacations and being a passenger on a motorcycle! I also like to catch up for all the lost quality time I missed while being on the road.

Keke Palmer

I like to spend my summer with close friends; they keep me grounded. i love to just hang out, go to see good summer movies, normal summer antics-swimming, barbecues, bowling, you know..doing the summer things that all teenagers like to do
