Tweet In the country the old folks used to call anyone with little money poor. Those same elders called people with no meat on their bones, “po”. There’s a difference. And today’s modeling world is filled with too much of the latter. What if companies highlighted those of the bigboned persuasion (BBW, anyone)? More women ...

Tweet Not since the Bloods and Crips rose to prominence in the late 1980s have we seen so much blue and red on the street. Everybody’s doing it. The barista at your local coffee shop in the suburbs is doing it. The hood has been doing it. And now, celebrities — by the jetload — are ...

Tweet Tell me if you recognize the name: Daiane Conterato. Isabeli Fontana. Okay, Liya Kebede. Or Anna Gushina. How about Bette Franken? Behati Prinsloo?
