Black Italian Vogue!

I found this fascinating quote today:



Who says black female models don’t sell magazines?

Italian Vogue has taken the fashion and publishing world by storm by featuring all black models in its July issue. Historically, the conventional wisdom among "those who know" about circulation and newsstands in consumer publishing issues is that putting a black model or celebrity on the cover of a fashion magazine means that it “just won’t sell” well.

But after a couple of New York newsstand sell-outs, reports of frenzied, cross-town searches for $16 to $20 copies and the accompanying hype, Condé Nast has decided to reprint the issue — 10,000 copies emblazoned with the tagline “Most Wanted Issue Ever” and “First Reprint” banded across the front.  SourceMiss Pinky, Black Girls Rock !, Jul 2008

Do Boys Really Gossip?

Everyone tends to think that it's only girls that gossip. But I'm a believer that boys gossip just as much as girls, just maybe not the way we do. For girls, it's like we can't wait to tell our friends something we've just found out about someone. Boys, on the other hand, talk about someone when only asked but they still spill the beans!

Girls Rock, Inc. presents Girl Talk

We here at Girls Rock know how important it is for girls to express themselves and not be judged.

The purpose of Girl Talk is to provide support and early intervention to girls and young women between the age 12 and 18. Girl Talk provides the opportunity for young women to share their experiences, to listen and to benefit from the experiences of other young women, in a safe and supportive environment.

The program goals are to:

  • Create and improve connections between young women
  • Create a safe place to share thoughts and feelings
  • Help foster self-esteem
