Prada is serving up their Fall 2012 womenswear line. I’ve always enjoyed purple and orange, but is it too much to ask for a different look of model. I’ve been getting this same wide-eyed, pale, robot girl for years now. Time to switch it up.

In 2011, designkultur published an interested article named “When the Future Was Ultramodern :: Visions from the Space Age” with some Paco Rabanne dresses.

While each of the Atlanta housewives has her own personality and shtick they bring to the show, I think people often forget that Cynthia was actually a model. She had a real job. And she was pretty damn good at it.
For her overall brand image, I’m not sure if her presence on the show is a good thing. On the one hand, she has made her name known outside of the often exclusive modeling/fashion industry. Like many industries, though everyone in that world may know who you are and recognize your talent, it’s hard to break beyond that and become a household name. On the other hand, she has shown millions of viewers that she isn’t the brightest bulb in the box. Some people don’t expect models to be, but as a woman in her early 40s, she should have picked up at least a few things along the way.
Either way, on this over of Denim Magazine, she proves that if nothing else, she can serve some good face.
![Wendy Raquel Robinson of “The Steve Harvey Show” fame covers the February issue of Denim Magazine. In the article she talks about her work on formerly The CW’s, now BET’s “The Game.”
Wendy: “You know people are always looking for something fresh- something new. The criticism last year was that we [The Game] were moving too fast. Now we’re moving too slow. We have 22 episodes and it has to build up. It’s hard for me to watch the show to see where improvement is needed- I mean if we’re in it we don’t see it.”
Clearly they don’t understand the backlash the show has received since its move from The CW to BET. The show has been trite, stereotypical, and in many ways reflects the caricatures of black people that are often seen on other scripted programming. The thing that made “The Game” special during its original run on The CW was that none of the previously-mentioned descriptors could have been used to accurately refer to the show. The characters were real. Their situations were relatable. And viewers saw genuineness, not obviously-fabricated arguments, forced jokes, and unrealistic reactions to ridiculous circumstances.
This is a testament to the power of good writing. The ability to tell a compelling story is invaluable in scripted media, and it seems that show producers don’t value that in its current staff. I hope, for the cast and the show’s sake, that they get this together sooner rather than later. In terms of black television, seasons 1-3 of “The Game” were some of the best in history. So far, seasons 4-5 are an embarrassment to have on air (much like most of BET original programming).](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzhxk68Ydc1qfqpgmo1_500.jpg)

While the calendar may say 2011, we are living in Orwell’s 1984. Online anonymity doesn’t exist, and it hasn’t for a while now. Big Brother has presented itself behind a codename and a rainbow-colored logo reading “Google.” This entity, “Google” even knows that I’m typing this right now I’m sure. Just like we can see past wigs and make-up in the physical world, “Google” can see past fake names and proxy servers in the digital space. Right now, there is only the semblance of anonymity. Some of us know the truth that is too frightening to keep in our top-level consciousness for fear of developing paranoia. Others still think the world wide web is simply too vast and complex for anyone to really know who they are as they purchase their books and shoes from Amazon.com still signed in to their Gmail accounts. The concept of online anonymity is simply another false wall in the separation of physical and digital. I think it will soon fall.
Is this what heaven looks like?
