so? ads are meant to advertise, it would be stupid to select ads in black or white way, the content itself makes a statement well enough!

[mikel]

^indeed.

Sure but I would find it a bit weird to see all the big names like Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton and all of them and lots of white models and when you go to the next page a big article about black models. I guess thiswould probably even more show how white models dominate fashion but that won't change with this issue anyway...

yes omifan9 that is what i meant, that there should be more intergration in general in the world and yes black and ethnic models should be used always and not just in a "special" black issue. that is what i mean about a ghetto. the next thing you know we will have a "gay" issue, i mean white black straigh gay, we are all human beings.

i was curious to know what other people think about this question. i am not so sure myself if it is a positive thing for ethnic models, or not, so i just wanted to hear what people think.

^We've been going on about that. And I'm sure I like the rest just want to see more color....black,asian,spanish,whatever! So I'm still kinda in the dark about the 4 but I'll move on,jokes!

Naomi's editorial was a little dull but there were several ultra gorgeous shots - e.g. her on the bed with the fan

maybe that's not such a negative thing, maybe that big contrast in the same issue can be wake up call...

Can you do a quick review of the contents if that's not too much to ask?
