Wintour, of course, is no pioneer of equality of any sort - horses for courses, darling (frocks 'n' jeans in her case) - but we might have expected a zeitgeist queen of her calibre to have been uneased as she stooped over the light box pix of James - to have detected a leeeeeeetle playing up to (unintentional, I'm sure) elderly racist stereotypes of black men.
Perhaps the old girl is starting to lose it a bit.
Still, full marks to Vogue Italia's editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani for her initiative. She tells the Indy On Sunday: "Nobody is using black girls. I see so many beautiful girls and they were complaining that they are not used enough."

Agh! Couldn't resist this one. You're linked.
Thank you Ms B - and don't think I haven't noticed your new blog on Wordpress - I'm sure you've explained somewhere why you made the move but I actually quite like Blogger even though Blog Executives say one shouldn't stay with Blogger for more than a few months. What do they know?
Brilliant juxtaposition - hope it hits home on those who should be ashamed of themselves. Ooh - and what's this about Blogger execs suggesting we jump ship after a while? Why??
Some nonsense about being taken seriously as a blogger. This assumes that one blogs to start a new career. Yet MA is one of the most famous bloggers around; and Blogger is technically superior to rivals such as Wordpress, as Ms B will discover. I can't think why she shifted.
