Old Dior Ad, and Lanvin cosmetics ad.
I was recently searching for photos of Donna Summer and I found one from her cover of Rolling Stone Magazine that was a part of a bigger series on Pop Divas. I wanted to share some of these covers with you. They reflect the style of the time and also it shows how some of these musicians style has evolved. And one adage remains true: Sex Sells (or the illusion of it, a youthful figure, firm round breasts, big eyes with long eyelashes, lipstick lips, skin, cleavage, legs etc)
Here is every single photo from my issue of L’officiel March 2011, with Beyonce in Black face makeup. These photos have many people all worked up over her make-up. It’s just make-up used for artistic expression. I think she looks beautiful either way, dark or light skinned.
But how do you feel?
P.S. the photos were re-shot from the magazine with my camera, as I don’t have the patience to scan anything.

For the last two years print magazine are dying either from lack of readership, ad revenues or both, take examples like Domino, Business 2.o and Missbehave.
But I’ve got good news for all you mg hags – our favorite print mags are fighting back! Or at least trying to.
Word from the grapevine is that :
“with a drop over 25% in ad revenue from print magazines last year, a group of prominent magazine publishers including Time Inc.,Hearst, Conde Nast, Meredith and Wenner Media are launching a jointly-funded $90 million dollar ad campaign to help convince readers, advertisers and shareholders of the “power of print.” The 7-month campaign, developed with Y&R New York, is expected to roll out with lush color spreads in the May issues of nearly 100 print magazines and web sites with taglines such as “We Surf the Internet. We Swim in Magazines” and “Will the Internet Kill Magazines? Did Instant Coffee Kill Coffee?”
Well, well…we’ll see how that goes.
