    Well, it isn't like Vogue has had too many WHITE models on its covers lately, either. Magazines seem to prefer celebrities now.

    @PetiteGal: What you meant is: Magazines seem to prefer [WHITE] celebrities now. And.... still a problem.

    Did you read to the end of the post? It's not about cover models; it's about models in general...on ALL the pages.

    I totally read this as "First Black Vogue Cover Model Looks Black." To which I thought...well, yeah, she IS Black, by definition, right?

    Anyway, such a pioneer, not to mention totally gorge.

    @katekatekateyeah: I read it the same way. I was confused and thought maybe it would be an article about white washing black models so they'd be allowed on the covers.

    They should teach everyone how to do black hair at Hairdressing institutes. There is no excuse not to know anything about it especially if you're in the profession.

    @maladroite: Ditto make-up artists. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to someone at the MAC/Bobbi Brown/Trish McEvoy counter that NO I cannot put the dark color in the crease of my eyelid seeing as there isn't one. I mean, surely there are some other techniques? Isn't that why you have training?

    @MizJenkins: Honestly, it's not like it takes more than 5 minutes with a YouTube account to learn how to properly apply eye makeup regardless of creases. I mean shit, I don't even DO makeup professionally and I still know how to do eye makeup if there's no crease! (I learned so I could do some custom shit for my Sims but my point still stands!)

    @maladroite:
    Yes! When I first moved to Boston I was calling around and when I asked, "Do you do black hair?" one salon said, "Well, we prefer if you come in with it straight." So...you can't wash my hair? So, the answer would be, "No." You can't do black hair!!!! Just say that! Gaaahhhh.

    @maladroite: Exactly! Having a specialty is one thing; most stylists have a hair type or service they do best (curls, straight, highlights, etc.). But knowing nothing about a hair type just makes you look bad at your job; it's a wonder they're not more embarrassed to admit it.

    Pink, green and gold eyeshadow combos. Those were the days!


    I also had a dress like the pink satin nightmare worn by Morgan Fairchild. It was in electric blue, though, and the hem fell at mid-calf. I was forced to wear it when I was forced to be an attendant for my sister's first wedding. With white practical pumps. In November. At least my eyeshadow was cool.

    That Jean Kasem dress somehow lodged itself in my brain back in the '80s. I wanted it then and I still kinda want it now. Lordy.

Also, I will always love Jac-kaaaay. She is priceless. Ah well I think all the ladies look fantastic in these pics. When I am aged, I want to be Bea Arthur. And live in Fla with my bishes. And recline in chaise lounges on the lanai.

    @notwhoyouthoughtiwas: That's what FloJo used to wear before she ran. Her track suits were elaborate. That, and her nails...were like, a signature for her. Plus, she could like, dust fools too.


    I was so sad when she died.

    Creepy, creepy Woody Allen. So, much time has passed that I think people don't fully comprehend the sheer creepiness. I feel sadness for Mia...like, still.


    Awww...the 80s a time I can (somewhat) recall. I remember that I used to adore Florence Griffin Joyner and 227. That pic would have made my life as a youngin'.


    And Patti's geometric, mile-high cut defined 80's craziness for me. Lest we forget...The Vanessa:



    + Watch video




    I wish that I could have found a still pic, but that would not have totally captured the essence of the geometric cut paired with a random phony pony(tail) of a totally different texture and the bold and sassy outfit.

    The phrase "80s style" is an oxymoron. Except for Grace Jones, who looks fierce. (I know, hold the front page. . .)

    What shall we call this hue of hair? Lemon? Goldenrod? Taxicab?


    Betsy Johnson Yellow. Or BJ Yell... for short.
