There is also a website for the mag. SA Elle's firt Editor and Cheif was a blk woman but I can not remember her name.<BR/>Ghana also has an edition of topmodel. <BR/><BR/>By the way, French Glamour has a high ranking blk editor with natural hair.

Is there a Pan African or African continental channel? I know in the UK there is a Nollywood channel on subscription service. <BR/><BR/>I find the Guardian's summation of the target audience and the mix between what's seen as Western European/American norms and the other practices of traditional Kenyans interesting. I feel like those are tensions I've seen at play throughout a wide variety of cultures.<BR/><BR/>I never really understood Cosmo or Glamour. Marie Claire always had more of a pull. I never understood how many different ways they could word the same "ten ways to make...," but I guess that is the power of great writers.<BR/><BR/>I doubt these will be available at the local supermarket any time soon, but it would be great if they were sold at the huge magazine stores (like Universal) or even in neighborhoods with strong enough communtities to support. I have a feeling Cosmo Kenya would speak to me a lot more than Cosmo America ever did. (Complete random thought: This could make a really good cultural imperialism vs. globalization argument.)Kimberlythinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599932308378311689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-13891885778776287522008-07-01T14:07:00.000-07:002008-07-01T14:07:00.000-07:00Wow!

I gave up on US <I>Cosmo</I> several years ago when it became apparent that they weren't going to have any more Black models on their covers(at the time, Naomi was the last Black model I saw, and that was back in 1990!). However, for some reason, I'm thinking that perhaps Beyonce managed to be featured on a cover sometime last year? Did I imagine that? I dunno, anyway...<BR/><BR/>Yes, it would be great if BET or TVOne bought the rights to the Nigerian versions of ANTM and Big Brother, and as you stated, a vast improvement over the stuff they're currently airing. I would actually have a reason to tune in to those channels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
