I believe I've said it before and I'll say it again.I hate this cover.

Even Sienna's sickly looking January 2006 cover with her in the puke green Chloe dress was more tolerable.

I don't know, you could fill twenty workshops talking about the unfair representation of women as being a thin as a toothpick, as Gisi is on that cover, and how that negatively impacts on American womanhood. You could talk the talk forever.

Everything in fashion is an affront to fair play, it's just that our eyes have accepted most of it, but black people on the cover of US Vogue is still news, no matter what they're doing.

Anna looks like she could be one of the witches from that Roald Dahl book.

I'm black and I really don't get the controversy. Both of them look pretty horrid on the cover, it was just not a great selection. The King Kong reference isn't nice at all either...

Same here. I'm black, and I didn't get a racial undertone at all. Just a horrible cover, for both!

And yes, I go to a NBA game once a week, I've seen Lebron play. That's the face and stance he's done plenty of times after dunking, for ex. It would be different if I'd never seen him with that face or that stance before, then maybe I'd wonder why they made him do that.

I mean, some people will see "racism" in anything.

Jeffrey's Steingarten's articles are always interesting as he's a wonderful writer...there was a lot about weight in this issue...which of course we won't be discussing here.

Caroline #1 is boring... Caroline #2 is repetitive... Caroline #3 is over-exposed...
Raquel is v. pretty
BRYAN CLAY IS HOT!!!

Apparently, this issue was a flop (picture me shocked. Not

The issue sold 350,000 copies on the newsstand, according to ABC Rapid Report, well below last year's first-half average of 452,207. It's Vogue's worst-selling April issue since 2001; the month is usually an above-average one for sales thanks to the annual "Shape Issue."

Does anyone have scans of the "Pride of the Nation" edit with the feamle athletes? I did a search in the thread but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
