Trendy Report - The Color of Vanity

The March cover of Vanity Fair looks impressive enough. Featuring the fresh youthful promising faces of actresses like Oscar nominees Carey Mulligan and Anna Kendrick, former Big Love star Amanda Seyfried, up and comers Mia Wasikowska, Emma Stone, Rebecca Hall and mainstays Abbie Cornish and Evan Rachel Wood. The only thing missing is a splash of color. It seems interesting that that fellow Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe is conspicuously missing from the lineup. I am sure its possible to dig up more contenders of color that could have been considered to grace this much anticipated cover. It seems like the "New Wave of Hollywood" is strictly limited to the "very thin and very white members only" club. Undeniably most of the coveted roles in Hollywood seemed to be regulated to this special breed but there are a few lucky that slip through the cracks and the ones who manage to secure them deserve recognition. It is now 2010, and so every effort should be made to accommodate the sensitivity of the color-conscious community and showcase as much diversity as possible in every possible outlet of the media. It is time.
