I just got put onto this by the lovely ladies at Hemma.
V Magazine have gone there with their plus size issue (since Vogue Italia’s all Black issue, seems like a lot of fashion mags are doing ‘edgier’ issues). Isn’t Dakota Fanning about 12?! Anyways – I want to say so much about these two covers but I will refrain from ranting and ask you, the public, my dear readers – what say you? (I’m refraining because I studied semiotics at uni and I’m tempted to break this down. I’ve also been told that I’m a cynic….WHATEVER!)
I have a lot of love for Gabby Sidibe since I caught a Q&A with her in London last year. I’ve also been reading comments on various websites and I’m a little annoyed with what’s being said. I guess people act ignorant when a different view of beauty is presented to them and they don’t know how to deal with it *smh*.
I just want to know where I can find a copy, they seem to be sold out on V magazine’s website

I love these photos… that girl has an amazing confidence! And she might just grab an Oscar for her first movie ever. Incredible!
Gabourey is the cutest thing. I saw her on Conan and she seems like one of the gals. I think she is about the same age as Dakota Fanning now which is… interesting for these two covers.
I think she is a fabulous actress but… I am concerned about her health and weight. Even Mo’Nique had to say enough is enough and shed some pounds. I hope she can be an inspiration for Gabby to do the same… not because big isn’t beautiful… but at her age it’s not okay to be that big… it’s not healthy. But I love her soul. You can tell she has a blessed beautiful spirit.
