I don't buy Elle and have never found a reason to read it. Soooo . . . they're weren't getting a new customer out of me ANYWAY.

I do co-sign on your thoughts that they'll use that as an excuse to say "black women don't sell" on the cover of our magazines.

FURTHERMORE, the fact that they printed 4 covers for one month (as in, we need 3 skinny

The cover is a cheap shot literally and figuratively. So, is there NOTHING we can do about such things?

Will do, Mitzi! Also, I just found out that she hates the pic as well. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about such things… :-/ *sigh*

I'm buying a copy of this magazine. I'm so MAD at the editors for this picture. It was definitely sabotage. Gabby is a pretty girl and she deserved better. There are stylists who could help to showcase her outside beauty so it matches her inner beauty. Such a mess, those editors!!!! We should all write letters to them and DEMAND that they do better!!! In fact, I know I am.

Aww, I'm so glad you understood and appreciated my comments. I had the pleasure of interviewing her for the Hollywood Essence package. She is such an amazing person. She deserved WAY better than this. Please give her my best regards.

Personally knowing Gabby, I wasn't going to respond to any of the comments on her cover shoot. BUT, I really liked your comments so I chose to make a comment. *Sigh* I don't know where to begin…I agree with everything you said…Hopefully the people handling her will at least TRY to do better next time around. I've seen AMAZING pics of her…don't know what was going on at the

I have to cosign this. I love the fact that Gabourey is on the cover but this photo & overall styling selection is horrible. They could've done so much better.
