the black runway

there has been some recent chatter about the lack of black models on the runways, in the ads, and on the pages of popular fashion magazines. with BET's special feature documentary that aired a few weeks ago (see more here), Italian Vogue's July issue featuring almost nothing but black models, and Chanel Iman taking the fashion world by storm, I thought I take some time and highlight some not so familiar black faces that have been pushing their way to top and holding it down for all those gorgeous black woman that look just as amazing in their just cavalli shorts and marc jacobs stilletos as any one else- have a look- thank you

lori lori x mary-kate

not sure how many know but another nick name of mine is mary-kate- lol!! THANKS SUSAN! i love her! we are both tiny people, lol!

a few years ago when i was walking in tribeca and saw this tiny person with TONS of clothes on walking a dog i thought to myself, wow look at this homeless woman and her dog! it's one thing to be homeless, but then to be homeless with a dog! that's another story- but then i got closer and said oh! this isn't a homeless woman, its MARY KATE!! i think that's when the obession started... lol so here are a few of my favorite shots of her, and when i say i love her, i mean it, i have a book of collages of only her, hahaha, yes i do, for real!!
