Vanity Fair recently issued it's 16th annual Hollywood Issue showcasing America's "so-called" up and coming starlites of hollywood. The only thing they forgot was the inclusion of some black actresses. The cover, done by Anne Leibovitz, only covered white actresses ranging in ages 19-27.
Vanity Fair responded with this statement:
"Deciding who will appear on the Hollywood issue cover – and within the issue itself – is a long process, and one we take seriously. For the young actresses on the cover, both films coming this year and past work were taken into consideration, as were schedules and availability, since we had to shoot all nine actresses in a single day."
I would really hate to call this racism, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...you know the rest.
On the bright side, Fearless Magazine and Publicist Arian Simone, teamed together to showcase their own version of what young hollywood looks like. The cover insludes young black actresses, Lauren London, Monique Coleman, Tia Mowry, Tiffany Hines, Naturi Naughton, Kyla Pratt, Jennifer Freeman, and Chyna Layne.
Hey, where's my girl Zoe Saldana?
