Here are the 14 Vogue US Covers that features minorities since it started with eic Josephine Redding in 1892, it seems cool right? 14 covers? well its over 118 years of Vogue US- it means 1,416 covers published and 14 of them are black women, what a remarkable breakthrough right? and this is after years of protesting to them and once in a while they’ll listen and this is the outcome. 14 covers out of 1,416.

You NEED to go out and get the October issue of Elle Italia (super easy for me now, but you may need to go to a larger newsagents or check out the magazine section of a big Waterstones), why am I sending you on this errand? 

Well. My favourite Blasian is totally killing it!

Dear Jesus H Christ,

I need more money. Or a job at Isabel Marant, or enough money so the net a porter discount I could probably swag will make these items seem… Cheaper.

I did not ask for this obsession.

The major winged black eyeliner, the rolled up skinny jeans and pants, the understated black pump, the unstyled hair, the minimal makeup, the slouchy knits and the big faux fur coat… Everything. Freja Beha.

Today.

I can finally admit that the deeply hidden issue has been resurrected. I knew this would happen, I hoped it wouldn’t. I suppose it is perfectly normal for problems in remission to resurface at times of stress, moving, boy issues, friend issues… Change.

I need control.

Today. I wrote about three thousand words, non of which I would dare publish here, maybe one day in the future, when I have read and re read. Edited so much it’s suddenly fiction.

Today. I opened up to a friend about a relationship with another friend. Sometimes you need to share something, to make sense of what’s real… Or at least this is what I am telling myself as the anxiety that appeared immediately the words were shared is still making me jumpy. Today at the gym I felt like a cow, this is not the issue here.

Today it became clear that this is not loneliness. I don’t miss anyone, everyone I had, I still have… 

As the weekend approaches I realise that this week I over committed myself. As usual. From now on, whenever this happens I will try not to shut down and bow out, from now on when this happens I will try to do three things. Just the three easiest ones.

This weekend, I want to be with a friend I know, I am not sure about new people, even though I know it’s a necessary step in a new country, I am not sure I want to play pretend… I really cannot talk about fashion, music, culture, news. I have no new interests, no new thoughts that will be socially acceptable to share. I want to be with people who know me. Know that I may not be as much of an airhead as I seem, as I act, but do not try to make me act otherwise.

I have the dumbest conversations with the smartest person I know. Sometimes we talk about cheese… All day. Sometimes we don’t.

Today (yesterday) at about one pm I fell in love.

I am extremely meh right now… So I googled E Alt. 

Out of curiousity? Perhaps. I love almost every single editorial she has ever styled, I wanted to know how she dresses herself, I already know (from one of those profiles) she’s long and lean… I already know we have the same favourite brands, or rather, we like the same designers (who sometimes move around between various brands). 

So I googled her. See these pictures? I’m speechless. If you know me… Well. 

In other news. 

I need to be saved. I am so unbelievably stuck, I can’t get up.

this is the coolest picture ive seen in a long time. beyond offensive yes, but for once i love that the tables are turned.
