Nazara Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Arise Magazine- UK (Some time before 2005)Ground Control Ph: James Meakin St: Sabrina Henry Hair: Stephen Low MUA: Ashley Ward Ph As: James Fenwick, Tim Knowles, Dillon Buirski St As: Viola Levy & Chukwunwike Obi WOW! Does anybody have this in HQ? This editorial is a-m-a-z-i-n-g its a very old editorial. its as HQ as your going to get. your lucky to even find things on her considering she is direct book. she seems to be be more active now but its still going to be hard to find new stuff as she is an older model. I'm sorry, but I don't know what "direct book" means. No HQs? Hmm, do you know where I could buy this magazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelknowledge Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 direct book means a model only works in that country when someone directly asks for that model. Usually models go to castings which means they plan to a visit to that country and then go on castings. While some models spend certain times of years in certain countries. Unfortunately that editorial is very old before 2007. It was from Arise Magazine. Perhaps you could email them and ask to purchase a back issue.

Nefertiti Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Kenyan model Ajuma Nasenyana fights skin lightening and European standards of beauty From Clutch Magazine – Like many other parts of the world, Africa is no stranger to European standards of beauty. The practice of skin lightening is becoming rampant in many African countries as some folks go to drastic lengths to shed their dark complexions for lighter, “more acceptable” ones. And from advertising and magazines, to TV and film, the black aesthetics are being pushed out, while European standards of beauty — blonde hair, blue eyes — are becoming more mainstream. “It seems that the world is conspiring in preaching that there is something wrong with Kenyan ladies’ kinky hair and dark skin,” Kenyan model Ajuma Nasenyana told the Daily Nation. Nasenyana wonders why European skincare companies that push lightening creams are entering Kenya marketing the European standard of beauty. “Their leaflets are all about skin lightening, and they seem to be doing good business in Kenya. It just shocks me. It’s not OK for a Caucasian to tell us to lighten our skin,” she said. Despite her beauty and that of women like her, Nasenyana is dismayed that while she is heralded abroad for her dark skin, at home she is seen as less than ideal. “I have never attempted to change my skin. I am natural. People in Europe and America love my dark skin. But here in Kenya, in my home country, some consider it not attractive,” she lamented. Instead of simply being disgusted with the growing contempt some have for their own skin, Nasenyana takes every opportunity she has to speak out against skin lightening and discrimination in the modeling world. She is also very critical of the Western media’s influence over Kenyans and concedes they are constantly being bombarded by magazines and advertisements that praise lighter skin. “When you flip through fashion magazines like Vogue and only see white models, then you get the feeling on what is happening to black models. It is not fair,” she explained. But Nasenyana, who has modeled for everyone from Victoria Secret to Carlos Mienes, isn’t just speaking out. The reining South African Fashion Week Model of the Year is also thinking of launching a line of cosmetics and natural skincare products for black women. Her hopes? That her products can inspire her peers to love their skin instead of bleach it. Let’s hope it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for this article It is very important to speak about this issue, because I think most people are not aware of it. Every color is equally beautiful and the fashion industry definitely needs more variety. I'm so glad that Ayuma didn't bleech her skin. She's gorgeous the way she is. And I love the pic you've attached to the post. Look at this dazzlingly beautiful smile. :wub2: She's got lips to die for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
