The October issue of French Vogue, which is on newsstands now, has struck uproar with a controversial editorial spread featuring Dutch model, Lara Stone.  The magazine has a reputation for controversy and this month does not seem to be any different with its issue celebrating supermodels (cover: Kate Moss).  The 14-page spread, shot by Steven Klein and styled by French Vogue editor, Carine Roitfield, was supposed to highlight Lara's funny teeth and the fact she's not your ideal model size (she's a size 4!) but why the Blackface?  Lara is painted head-to-toe in dark brown makeup --- but surprisingly, there were no black or asian models featured at all in the issue. History Lesson: Blackface dates back to the 19th-century and was a style of theatrical makeup that originated in the US.  Minstrelsy, as it's called, was used to portray American stereotypes of black people being the buffoon and being the butt of every joke.  The first minstrel show was in NYC around 1843 -- within a year it became extremely popular in America, then grew and flourished in Europe.  Minstrelsy played a significant role in pushing and cementing racist thinking into society. Is French Vogue out of line for this editorial spread?  What do you think?
