Noire Expose'

So I’m in the store picking up some items so that I can cook dinner, and while in line I look up and my eyes lay hold of Beyonce on the cover of Vogue, so what do I do? I of course snatch it off the rack and pay for it! Now I do read Vogue Magazine but nothing in it really applies to me. I look at the pictures, read some of the articles, get some inspirations for different things but to be quite honest nothing much in the magazine applies to a young black female. However, when I saw “B” on the cover I knew I had to pick it.

The article to be honest……wasn’t all that. I have read better articles on her and the pictures of her I feel did not really do her justice. Now while conducting some research about the article, I came across some sites where people actually had a problem with Vogue doing their shape issue with curvy Beyonce on the front. I didn’t read into it that deep when I purchased it but after reading the comments and thinking, I could kinda see where they were coming from. I do stress “KINDA” though, because I really don’t think it’s that serious. Vogue’s shape issue is about “loving the body that you are in” however they do contradict themselves with the tips on how to get longer leaner legs, and “Nip/Tuck- Designing a Perfect Body” article. They even show fashion for every figure from size 0 to 20.

Now Vogue knows good and well that when the next issue comes out they are not going to have a size 20 model anywhere in the magazine. Everyone has their opinion about the magazine, again I solely bought it because Beyonce was on the cover and I do collect magazines. The thing is Vogue mentions that real women have curves, but they subtly made sure the first picture people saw of Beyonce was from the waist up, everyone knows Beyonce’s curves are from the waist down. Oh well, I’m just excited they put a black woman on the cover of Vogue again!!!!
