Especially by black and Latino folk

Y’all know she is he only female that makes covers of magazine almost 50 years since she’s been dead..

Living black actresses don’t even get that love

And Dorothy Dandridge served way better than she ever could

Damn whiteness

I agree with this. One of the reasons I started this blog in the first place.

White Beauty need not be the norm!

This blog is going to start being active again.

So, stay tuned.

I just want to say that your whole blog brings me life! It is complete flawlessness and I can't get over it. I love pin up girls, but I am always disappointed at what a lack of pin ups of color pictures are out there. I knew there had to be plenty out there and your blog confirmed it, so THANK YOU!

Thank you! <3 I appreciate these comments.I will returning soon to updating this blog.
