March 27, 200718 yr Yasmin looks pretty caucaisian to me with out the skin.so if yasmin looks so "white" why isn't she or girls from that region (horn of africa) more popular?
March 28, 200718 yr really i didnt know that!...that explains it. But my friend who's mom is black and his dad has red hair is a full on red head (and its the real father) So genes aren't like a rule.About yasmin i don't think she is as popular because i dont think most people would think of her as commercial. I guess she does looks pretty typicaly african though. I love her though!...She is a fellow canadian in my books.Their isn't many popular black girls in the industry to begin with. It's pretty much Tyra, Iman and Naomi. Luck and Timeing plays a big part in it also.
March 28, 200718 yr but black actresses are getting more and more popular I think...still not how they deserve, but it´s getting better since Halle´s won the Oscar
March 29, 200718 yr your right their has been a big difference since has halle's oscar. I wasnt really expecting a big change in the industry because i dont think of it as omg a black women won her first oscar. I just see it as halle won an oscar cause she was the best. I really feel like its all about trends though :| ...like black models were "trendy" for while and now its black actress'...it was asian models for a while. but i dont understand why it cant just be like ok he or she is the best....hire them....obviously certain parts require you to be of a certain ethnicity but i dont get why it has to be made in to such a big issue about what race you are. you know? But hopefully it changes permanently instead of whats "trendy"...they just have a staple of a mix of all different races in all types of media. Especially modeling since acting is a bit different cause sometimes the part just calls for a white person...like if their playing troy or soemthing like that. I just dont think its going to change much. ...that being said. Frock and Roll!
March 29, 200718 yr Yeah, it kinda sucks, I just don´t get it why some people care so much about race, it´s freaky!! I mean, it doesn´t matter if he/she´s black or white or yellow or purple or pink if he/she can act or is a great model...it´s a nonsense to matter about a race!!! just like you said, until it´s not the case of Helen of Troy or something like that...the variety is what I LOVE on this world, HOW COME someone can hate it?? Prefer just one race?? I think I´ll never understand this... I hope this "trendy" thing like you´ve mentioned will come to an end soon, and there´ll be more models of other ethnicities too!! It would be much more interesting and when Halle won the Oscar, she indeed WAS the best - her role in Monster´s ball was exquisite..damn great acting!!!
March 30, 200718 yr halle really did deserve it. ...even if she did a great job....she has to fake an orgasm with billy bob thorton :|...that deserves an oscar in it's self.
April 1, 200718 yr halle really did deserve it. ...even if she did a great job....she has to fake an orgasm with billy bob thorton :|...that deserves an oscar in it's self. damn...you´re fu**n right :D

April 9, 200718 yr Does anyone know the name of the girl in Akon's new "Don't Matter" video? I was looking for a pic, but it's kinda impossible to find one without a name considering he doesn't have a decent fansite. Not sure if this the right thread to ask, but I'm trying...
