Don't lighten up
Elle Magazine has some serious pigmentation issues. Egads.
One need not be politically correct to raise an eyebrow at the "lightening" of images of non-Caucasians for aesthetic reasons. Yeah, some might say it is the same as Photoshopping a tan on a Swede, but I wonder whether the motives are the quite the same.

I don't like either example of "lightening." Both women should be shown as they are...beautiful!

Manufactured controversy. This is a stupid thing to get agitated about.

Tempest in a teapot. She's not Al Jolsen, for God's sake!

I don't believe I have ever agreed with BOTH Dawnfire and JPMct in one go. But there it is.
