Whenever I see Black women on magazines I am reminded of the fact that when Black women are on the cover of magazines, the mag’s sell 30-40% less than when a white women is on the cover.
According to the magazine editors, black faces do sell – at least, if the personality is well-liked. If she isn’t, it won’t, it’s as simple as that, and it has nothing to do with colour.
“There are a limited number of (black) subjects that we can use,” says Sam Baker, editor of Cosmopolitan.
“There is one I won’t name because she is quite litigious, but is really not very popular with readers, and you want to feature subjects that people actually like. Cosmo has featured Beyonce and Mel B, so I know that placing black women works.”
What dismayed me was that so few editors even thought about their cover choices in terms of race or colour. If you grow up and mix with people who look like you, and if you haven’t met anyone who doesn’t, then you wouldn’t think about fashion advice or make-up tips going beyond your clique.
Here’s to the Yonce for closing the gap. She is on the COVER of this years Sports Illustrated SWIMSUIT ISSUE. It is four-fold higher in men in their 60s 30% of men that are 70 or older The issue of erectile dysfunction by simply taking viagra on line uk these blue pills. cheap tadalafil tablets This way you need to get the very best piece of advice from qualified persons. And viagra sale uk that’s not all; regular physical activities help women reach orgasm and gain more pleasure. You can also use a biotin supplement, if discount viagra pills you prefer. That girl gives me HIP ENVY.

Last year, BL and I HAD HELLA FUNK. He was on some, “I don’t feel society telling me what and when I should spend”. That was cool. But then I was like, “Didn’t you spend HELLA PAPER for XMAS 7 weeks ago?”.
Xmas is different apparently.
Looking back on this time last year reminds me that the dope thing about being neurotic is that your life is allways different than it was last year.
A fellow scandless a*s blogger had a jawn use her major department store discount to buy the next jawn a v-tines present.
He Buggin!
Which leads me to the question of, what are your v-tines best/worst gift stories? Or rant about how you hate the sh*t in general.
