um..ok...I get that French Vogue is all about controversy and "pushing the envelope" but this is taking it to a whole 'nother level. World renown photographer Steven Klein shot Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in blackface makeup for a spread styled by French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. The magazine goes on and on about praising Lara for the "radical break with the wave of anorexic models" she represents however the chick is a size 4...am I the only one totally confused by that stupidity? They say that they love how she embraces her supposedly curvy figure (um....yeah...do these people know what curves look like?) instead of being worried about being "the fat one." LOL...im sorry...I just can't LOL...a size 4 being considered the fat model...LOL..I needed that laugh today.

Anyways, since the magazine included their one "fat" model..they decided to use...for a lack of a better word..."anorexic" models for the rest of the enire issue such as Kate Moss, Kristen McMenamy, Yasmin Le Bon, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer, Anna Selezneva, Diane Kruger, Constance Jabloski, and Eniko Mihalik. Oh and did I mention that all the models in the issue are white...no black or asians graced the pages, which unfortunately is nothing new but then to put Lara and her "fat" self in black face just add to the ridiculousness of this entire issue...Imma need them to just recall this crap and try again next month...
