Vogue JAPAN!

Wow.

See. WTF is wrong with the U.S.? Has Vogue U.S. done extensive spreads with black people/models like this before? I wanna say Beyonce, Rihanna, um…Michelle Obama (was that Vogue?), Oprah many a moon ago I think, and the usual models (Naomi, I think, Tyra I’m pretty sure and….Iman, Beverly Johnson) have been on either covers or just in it somewhere or whatever. But I don’t recall full on SPREADS outside of articles where it’s like oh, look, a picture of them and A LOT of words for some pages and BAM! 2-4 more pix and oh look, it’s over. 0_o

I don’t buy it so I don’t know. I hear stuff. Maybe pick one up if someone I like and recognize is on the cover and browse…but yeah.

It just seems like Vogue Everywhere else is doing more than Vogue U.S. 0_o. SEEMS! educate me, please… :)
