Good Model, Wrong Shot - Crystal Renn for Vogue Paris

Vogue Paris is celebrating its 90th anniversary issue this month and guess who's in it!

Our plus-size ambassador Crystal Renn.

I will be the first to say I am extremely proud that finally a model of some size is making clear movements in the fashion industry. However I really wish that Crystal would realize that she is our quarterback in the game.

This right here is a FUMBLE! I'm calling a FLAG ON THE PLAY! The fashion story was shot by Terry Richardson and it's quite disturbing. The title of the spread is FESTIN, which is French for feast. In theory, I love the concept. But was food really necessary. These same shots with perhaps clothes symbolizing the gluttony of fashion would have been sufficient. But perhaps they were thinking that had been done several times before. As a photographer, I try to look at EVERY aspect of the image. So yes the flash lighting is different, photoshop was used in moderation, and the colors are vibrant but - FOOD? The spaghetti shot just ruffles my skirt!  

Maybe I'm wrong? What do you think?

Halle's Vogue Cover Makes History

Halle is the first black woman to appear on Vogue's September issue since 1989.

Halle proves time and time again that she's a true belle. Sporting an uber cute short bob Halle shows us what being beautiful is all about.

More important than her new do, Halle is the second black woman to be featured on Vogue's September issue. (Naomi Campbell being the first in 1989). I'm guessing there are plenty of blacks over at the Vogue Black website, no need to put us paper too? Besides making history, who wouldn't want to be page 1 of 726 pages. Halle explains the significance of her agreeing to do this interview:

"What that means for a woman of color and what that means in the fashion world, what that means to pop culture, there was no way I could say, 'No, I'm not going to be on the biggest issue of the year.'"

History aside, If you're a gossip girl don't expect to get your rocks off with this issue. According to NYMag.com, she doesn't give us any details on her break up with Gabriel Aubry. Read the full interview.

Either way she looks amazing, don't you think?
