Wow, right? Both the Simpson sisters made the list. The shelf life of each has long since expired, but particularly for Jessica, who should’ ve dropped permanently from view with the demise of her reality show, however the fuck long ago that was. But…

Thanks once again for sending weekly inspiration my way. I really love reading your quips about how others inspire without really trying to inspire. Your choices seem to live by example.

I didn’t know that it was because of Ms. Beth Ann..that Black Italian Vogue issue was born..wow…i wonder what her mgt roster still looks like too. Im thinking that black models would rather go to Eileen Ford than Beth Ann Hardison..for obvious exposure reasons..but for other subtle ones as well…ie black people don’t like doing business with other black folks.

Hi GT! Thanks for the schooling here. I had no idea that she was the catalyst that made the fashion industry aware of their lack of ethnicity on the runway. I also didn’t know that this powerhouse is Kadeem Hardison’s mother. Wow! Thanks for the info!

I heard of Bethann a couple years ago! She is certainly a powerhouse. As always, thank you for shining a light on the women whose names are not always spoken.

Peace.

Awesome pic GT!! Bethann Hardison is a legend in the fashion world, speaking up on the real deal in the fashion world since the 60s and 70s when she was a model.

Love this story/woman. And I had no idea that she was behind that issue of Vogue Italia. Wondrous.

Much respect to Bethann for exposing the dirt. I saw some of the photos of Italian Vogue and they looked incredible. Toccara was esp. smokin’ hot. Anyway, there’s still a long way to go and one “Black Issue” DOES NOT equal racial justice.

I hope Bethann keeps the pressure on. Seems like Black folk have to be the conscience of the world, not just America.
