What’s with all the white bitches, Vanity Fair?
February 1, 2010
Vanity Fair, you’ve got to be god damn kidding me. These are your “fresh new Hollywood faces of 2010?!” This looks like my sorority’s chapter photo. No wait, we had some black girls and a couple Asian girls and an Indian girl and a girl who I think was Latino or just really tan and pretty. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. This is nothing against the talented women on the cover- I think Carey Mulligan was brililant in An Education and Anna Kendrick was amazing in Up In The Air and Rebecca Hall was in one of my fave movies, and Amanda Seyfried is as cute as a frickin’ peanut button dollface. But COME ON. Not *one* girl who isn’t white? Really? REALLY. Because here’s a suggestion…just a small suggestion of someone. It’s not like she has stormed the country with an award-winning performance this past year or anything…
OH! It’s just Gabourey Sibide, star of Precious, and nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, BAFTA Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, Chicago Film Critics Assocation, Black Reel Awards, NAACP Image awards, etc. etc. etc….and will probably be nominated for an Oscar (we’ll know tomorrow) this past year. Don’t mind her though. UPDATE: Yes, nominated for an Oscar for best actress. Yes, also cute as a button.
But who cares about her when you have Abbie Cornish to put on the cover….
Wanna know what Abbs has been nominated for this past year? Nothing! Until now. I’d like to nominate her for being blonde and white. It’s a win! She’s on the cover.
Oh, and Vanity Fair, here’s another question, what about this very talented and attractive movie star?
Sorrrrrayyyy! She just starred in an Oscar-winning film last year and has two projects coming out in 2010, including a Woody Allen movie, BUT, she’s Indian. Sorrrr-ayyyyy. Sorrrr-ayyyyy, Freida Pinto. Vanity Fair says no.
But what is, dare I say it, even stupider than this Vanity Fair article? The Huffington Post’s analysis of it. You see, HuffPo isn’t concerned that they’re are only white girls, they are most concerned that 1. They used a similar layout of the “young Hollywood” cover two years ago…and 2. Amanda Seyfried used to be on the cover and now she’s on the pullout inside. Wow, great fucking critique, HuffPo. Those are indeed this article’s biggest flaws.
I hereby declare, that Us Bad Guys will never buy another Vanity Fair magazine ever. Or at least until they have John Hamm, James Franco and Javier Bardem on the cover, shirtless, and petting a small, painted pony in a desert. And even then I’ll THINK about it. Or steal it.
but zoe saldana isn’t dating ryan phillippe.. abbie cornish IS. = placement on the cover + before the crease. durrr
Yeah, WTF VF? Good for you Bad Guys for calling them out.
BGH- haven’t you heard yet? Racism has been declared over since we have a black president now. Calling out magazines for having only blond white girls is, like, so 2008…
Yeah, that’s pretty fucked up.
I’d say to copy and paste in a letter to the VF editor, but they probably wouldn’t print it unless they could verify your whiteness…
[...] that only white actresses appeared on this month’s cover of Vanity Fair, eloquently titled, “What’s With All The White Bitches, Vanity Fair?”. Today, Bad Guy Lindsey emailed us a clip from this weeks’ US Weekly magazine, which also [...]
