Is Gay in Fashion and Modeling Common

Make-up artist backstage at the Fashion Assass...Image via Wikipedia Have you ever noticed that most of the Fashion Industry is ran by Gay men or women. I have always wondered why many of your fashion designers, make up artist, hair stylist, and producers are gay. Is it gay men and women have a certain eye for fashion that regular heterosexual people don't?

Skinny Jeans

Skinny Jeanz and a MicImage via Wikipedia The culture of hip hop has adopted a new style called skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are really popular among the youth. The question I got is who created the style that allowed young men to wear jeans that are so tight on their ass and thighs that they can't even pull up their pants. The fashion culture has pushed the boundaries with the skinny jeans craze. Is this a low key way of slipping femine qualities into men's fashion?

Can Anyone Be A Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks(cannes)-Image via Wikipedia
sesTyra is one of the world's top female Black Supermodels. Tyra has taken her million dollar empire to a level most models have never gotten too. Many models want the glory and fame that Tyra has achieved. The reality is that most aspiring models will never make it to the level that Tyra Banks has. Tyra has taken her name and built a brand that with the Tyra Banks show, and endorsing other products.

The real truth is that most little girls will never see the light of day with the success Tyra has because the modeling elite will not allow, but a small few to gain the public recognition that she has achieved. You are going through someone else's system and if you don't match up to what folks want to see and hear then will will not even get close, but go ahead and try anyway I know you want too...lol

Are All Black Top Models Bony

Why are all black top models bony? Do you watch Americas Next Top Model ? I do and it seems that every time I see and African American Model she is extremely skinny hell Tyra Banks was skinny until she got a little older. Most female Caucasian models on the show are to skinny for TV if you ask me, but you didn't, so I'm stating my case anyway. The Black female models in the modeling world seem to be at times
Models on the catwalk
Image via Wikipedia

unattractive and hella skinny. Most women in the black community don't have skinny legs or no asses. They got a tone of ass and they have well defined legs that go with their bodies.

I have followed some of the modeling events that come on TV like Rip the Run Way and host of other shows. I have not really seen any women who really represent black women in a true light of how they are truly shaped, or their real beauty for that matter. Can we please get an good balance of all women of color to represent the modeling world?
thank you very much

Why Are Most Designers Asian or White

Anna Sui at New York City OfficeImage via Wikipedia
Are most mainstream popular fashion designers Asian and White? I have not noticed any top fashion designers in the fashion industry to be African American. Most of your favorite designer clothes are by white Caucasian males,females, or Asian Designers. Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, and many others dominate the world of fashion without question. Are there any black top notch main stream fashion designers who are not in the hip hop culture that is glorified among his or her white or Caucasian counter parts?

Macy's is a place that houses most of the mainstream clothes you see on radio and TV. I have never seen any black fashion designers that were the prefered choice when it came to clothes, purses, or perfume.

Russel Simmons from Phat Farm to Argyle

NEW YORK - OCTOBER 19:  Aly Kinloch, Sagen Alb...Image by Getty Images via @daylife As most of you know Russell Simmons released his latest fashion called the Argyle Culture. Russell started with Phat Farm now he has moved on to his newest venture called the Argyle Culture. I wrote a blog about hip hop fashion designers and are they respected in the world of fashion. I would have to say that Russell Simmons is probably the only guy whose fashion line is respected in the white world of fashion designers like Ralph Lauren, Polo, and Tommy Hilfiger. Argyle is for the casual man who wants to still be apart of the hip hop culture, but yet still look classy with button down shirts and blazers etc.

Who Is Victoria Secret Marketing to

Victoria's Secret Black Friday at Westfield Sa...Image by Steve Rhodes via Flickr Does Victoria Secret market to other ethnicity's? When I turn on the TV a commercial for lingerie comes on from Victoria Secret. I only see white women wearing sexy underwear, and maybe one black girl in the ad campaign. The question is asked who is Victoria Secret Marketing their products too? I think there's are alot of women of color who are not being represented by the ads that are promoted by Victoria Secret. When I see these type of commercials it makes me think that only White Women like being sexy, and women of color are not attractive enough for Victoria Secret to make a balance ad campaign that covers all ethnicity's.

How much does it cost to start up a radio station?

January 17th, 2011 on 11:24 am. At one of the radio stations I used to work at, the owner had a saying: "I've got a small pile of money from owning a radio station. I did it by starting with a big pile of money." Assuming you're talking about an AM or FM ... Electricity will be a huge cost. When I was in radio 20 years ago, the station I was at had a $5000 electric bill. Every month. That meant they had to sell $60000 in advertising every year just to keep the lights on. ...
