in honor of today's democracy now...
...could this image from last night's De Beer's store opening in New York look any more pseudo-colonialist (well, yes, I guess if the woman at right were African)?
And can I just comment, in the midst of Lindsey Lohan mania (she attended the De Beers thing), that Herbie: Fully Loaded is directed by Angela Robinson, a black lesbian (and the director of D.E.B.S.)? I mean, if there's any story attached to that movie, hers is probably it.
One more week in Taos, then back to reality.

Yes, if the woman holding the umbrella was African the imagery would really be colonialist. As it is, it's still reeks of "celebrity fawning" which is always annoying.
I didn't realize that Angela Robinson directed Herbie. It would be nice to see coverage in a mainstream outlet about her, but I'm not holding my breath. (sigh)
