The Albino Models - Gorgeous.


First of let me start by explaining what Albinism is:

Albinism is a genetic disease that causes loss of pigment/color within the skin, which results in making a person incredibly light skinned in all parts of the body including hair & eyes.

There are two "Albino Models" in the industry that are incredibly talented and gorgeous. Diandra Forrest & Shaun Ross They are my favorite for today and I just had to share.

Shaun appeared on the Tyra Banks show a few months back this year and other than struggling being an Albino child, he fought for his life after getting stabbed 7 times where each stab was 6 inches deep.

Diandra also struggled with peoples judgement & comments throughout her childhood, to the extent of violence at times.

Their story is quite inspiring, through all the struggles, look at them now, JUST GORGEOUS!



Slave Earrings on Vogue.it. Racist?

Vogue.it is favored by many & very popular within the fashion world, in fact its my personal favorite website.

Just the other Vogue.it posted a very... I'm not sure if racist is what they aimed for, knowing how much they appreciate and dedicate to black people on their site but about few days ago a post came up titled "Slave Earrings". Another Paparazzi website mediatakeout.com were the 1st to put light on the title of the post which you can view below: 


After mediatakeout.com addressed Vogue.it on their site, fans of Vogue Italia and people that are dedicated to the magazine instantly started tweeting and commenting on the issue. Few hours ago Vogue made a public apology & also :- 


Yes, they changed the title to Ethnic Earrings

Racist, or? 

Let's put it this way: Vogue Italia has dedicated a whole page to black people title V Black where they have posted more than a much on the beauty of black people, not to mention they have also featured black women on the magazine quite a few times before. Vogue has recognized more than a few Black models every now and then, most recognized? Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Ajak Deng, Melody Monrose... etc.. 

They have also put light on more than a few black models/makeup artists/musicians/writers/hairstylists/designers/bloggers & the list goes on. 

I think something went wrong with that title, but they weren't trying to be racist. 

HMMMM! Creative Or?

: S... Creative or?
I vote Creative.

A Male Model better Than a Female Model at Her OWN GAME? =/...

Over 6ft tall, at only 19 years old Australian model Andrej Pejic had people wondering "Who is the blonde girl modeling men's wear at Paris Men's show 2010?) Well news flash, HE'S A MAN.


Andrej Pejic carrying long blonde hair, very feminine features and also a striking catwalk on the runway didn't only have people wondering but got booked for two jobs by Jean Paul Gaultier. 

I am a very big fan of different catwalks, its the 1st thing I notice on a model & yes, Andrej Pejic captures attention with his electrifying performance on the runway: 


Not only on the Runway is Andrej Pejic a shock but his woman figure is quite fierce as well. 

Check out the pictures below:
