THE BEST COVER - LIKE EVER

i kinda, sorta, woulda loved to be on this cover. non? (hugs to highsnobette.com for sharing this with us)

world wide - trace magazine. i can't say it was ever on my must read list. perfect lovely publication, but i restrict my reads to: vogue u.s, vogue u.k, vanity fair, vibe, w and now monocle. (there's something about consonants in my world, huh?) that said, i must say that i've always loved trace for it's annual "black girls rule," issue. such a bold and loving and affirming statements and the issues are equally beautiful. the above is not that - though at first glance you would think so. instead it's their 'true beauty' issue - and boy, is it ever. it's just breathtaking!
