Makes me wonder….
So Cameroonian photographer Mario Epanya went all out in his campaign to make Vogue Africa a reality. Condé Nast(global publisher) said NO to an African license of VOGUE…apparantly no one would buy Vogue Africa…..
I’m completely speechless, because the reasons as to why the whole project was crapped is bull…
It’s infuriating, as a young woman i love magazine and vogue is my monthly read. But do you know how frustrated i get when they are beauty spreads and I really like the look but it won’t suit me because I have dark skin??? Or there’s a hairstyle that i absolutely love but can’t recreate because i have kinky hair??? Do they know that the average black woman(in Britain) spends more than £5000 on her personal needs, (obviously not everyone will be able to afford Vogue Africa in some parts of Africa- i get that) per year( I’m sure i spend more but then i have issues), surely A MAGAZINE that uplifts and appreciates black beauty would fly off the shelves. And who says that only black women/people will buy Vogue Africa. I would’ve replaced mu entire wallpaper with spreads from that magazine but ohh well their loss…….
But anyhoo here’s some would be covers or let’s say ‘what if covers’
ME NO UNDERSTAND!

Und noch was…
I need to confess my total addiction to my blackberry, das ding macht mich zwar total anti-social but noch nie war mein Leben so organisiert. I didn’t want to get one at first because everyone has one and i love being anti-was auch immer, so getting one was slightly traumatic but now … Hello my name is Anne and I proudly clutch my Crackberry!

I’m Not A Big Fan Of Sales Reps@The Make Up Counter!!!!
So I went shopping..as use and to suffice my addiction to make up & beauty products I HAD to ( okay not really) get new stuff. When I’m shopping for make Up i generally prefer to be left alone…*take note Superdrug in Manchester situated on Market Street…i know i’m Black and aware that ur following me around the shop* But anyhooo yahhh so i was looking at some sleek concealer who i must say have upped their game in sachen make up. I was torn between colour 3 or 4, the former being to bright the latter too dark… so there’s me standing there with both in my hand, drawing lots in my head for which one i should go with. Then this girl came up to me, looked at me all * i know what I’m doing* and said yeah colour 5 is the one you need. Okay given the fact that we nearly had the same skin tone i give you that but suggesting a councealer that’s 3 shades darker than me NOT GOOD.
I ended up buying the one in 3 cuz I think I KNOW MY FACE AND ALL ITS UNDERTONES etc….but imagine i didnt know my shade and so on i would have totally bought the one in 5 knowing that it was garbage so dear Shops Assistants/Make UP Counter People you may advise us but don’t feed us shit….THANKS!
