Hello Afrobella. I was wondering as to how I might be able to get a copy of that issue? Thank you

Meh.

1) I know a gimmick when I see one
2) Once again, black beauty only works overseas, and
2) While I appreciate the whole kinky-headed sentiment, I’ll be happy when I see a natural haired model actually modeling her natural hair.

The fro is “off the chain.” It looks great. I wear a fro and I would love for mine to get that big.

Now about the weight; The only reason why you all are making sarcastic comments about her weight is because you are jealous that you are overweight or either you are just not happy with your weight. Thin women do not worry about how fat other women are, but I see that fat women worry about her thin other women. You are doing the same thing about her weight that you have always accused white people of doing about your skin color. Get a life. Instead of saying she needs a biscuit with gravy, maybe you need to put down the biscuit with gravy. Therefore, you won’t feel intimidated when you see a thin, beautiful woman.

The cover is amazing! I think the timing of the Elle cover may in response to what Vogue Italia has done. But, whether Elle is just trying to keep up with the competition or were genuinely inspired to show more diverse models I’m happy to see more brown girls.

Honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised that nobody has said she needs to straighten that stuff…maybe because it’s so obviously fake (IMO) or because it’s so big and (relatively) perfect?

The picture actually puts me in mind of some of the pics of black models I remember seeing as a very young child in the 70s…and no, I’m not talking about the ‘fro so much as I am about the dress, the shoes, the pose, etc.

I couldn’t agree more that American magazines (both mainstream and “black”) need to catch the hell up.

Wow wonderful blog! I love the cover, I really did stop and stare at this in awe. However, I do hope this isn’t an attempt to go with whatever “fad” that may be in especially considering the election of Obama…let’s hope this is simply about beauty and fashion…but then again, perhaps the fact that change is evident has caused this to happen…She’s look amazing nonetheless…!

I definitely dig the afro and Im ashamed to admit that due to all the straightening creams and ions and all those chemicals have totally ruined my beautiful extra curly hair…last night I found a bald spot. A devastating experience. I would give anything to have back my frizzy, dry, curly hair because at least I HAD HAIR

It’s a nice really cover, even though the girl makes me think of a microphone.

I’d like to see a cover with some serious cornrows next.

I wonder if I could get my hair to stand up like that. Maybe I’ll put it in rollers first.
