[video] Kanye’s Complex Doppleganger Caught “Putting on the Ritz”

Well, it seems like the people at SWAY studios weren’t too pleased about Air Yeezy taking all the credit for their work. So, they made a video of his 3D doppelganger displaying its sense of rhythmic style and unique masculinity, all while dancing to Taco’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz.”

Back-to-Back “Black” Women on Cover of Vogue

via TransRacial

Perhaps it’s the economy. Or call it the Andre effect.  But a thaw appears to be in process over at icy-cold Conde Nast.

It’s the second sistah in a row! Right after Michele Obama’s magical March cover.  And only the sixth Black woman on a Vogue cover this decade.                                                                                  

That stat stands in sharp contrast with the legacy of the now-defunct Men’s Vogue, which regularly had Black men such as Denzel Washington, Will Smith, President Obama (twice) and Tiger Woods on its covers.

Hmmmmm!

Beyonce’s Vogue appearance is a welcome step towards progress indeed.

Transracial has not personally prowled through the archives at Conde Nast’s 4 Times Square HQ, but we are beyond sure that this is the first time EVER back-to-back Black women have appeared on Vogue covers.

Keep it up!

Anna — yes you can!
