Too silly for words, particularly since everybody of any color already thought the “Surfer Barbie” and “Surfer Ken” were pretty silly and understood that they were just symbolic of a period...and almost retro even at the time.
That said, I’m sure all businesses are freaked out and anybody with images of white people is rushing to change them, even if images are not their main businesses.
And looking at fashion magazines and newspaper fashion sections, I’d say there’s no more jobs for white models (even Hispanic whites). This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.
There have always been great black models...I think David Bowie is married to one of the classically beautiful black models. No affirmative action needed.
But reality doesn’t matter.
Iman is the widow of English rock musician David Bowie, whom she married in 1992.
