Where are all the colors?

Teen Vogue...no,Vogue...no, Cosmo Girl...no, Elle...no, Glamour...no, and Bazaar... no. I don't understand where all the colored people have gone. There is little to no representation of women of color in these fashion magazines. I didn't realize this until I was on Twitter and I got a tweet about an article about hair products that women of color can use. I was excited to see there was at least some representation for women of color. Well "not to my surprise" it was the smallest article. It really didn't talk about much of the topic that they advertised for. It just upset me that its 2009 and this is still an issue. There should not be a need to go only to specific ethnic magazine to get information about your ethnicity. There should be more representation of women of color since there are people of color in this race and not just one.
