I made up a fictional magazine, mostly fictional items, fake 'photography' all in the pursuit of showing Elle these ladies can work it.

Those of you who don't know about the recent Elle photoshoot of the women of Ryan Murphy's shows may know that it was of all white- the only woman of colour (Naya) was made to appear white. Jenna and Amber wern't even included, as happens with many photoshoots.

I am rather put out because these women can rock beautifully and they've been in the show since day one. The fact Amber and Jenna are always left out is saddening because Glee has one of the most diverse casts but apparently the women of colour, and the women of 'unideal' body size are not shown.

Amber is plus size and black- so not included, Jenna is asian and more meat on her than the other Glee girls- so not included. Naya is latina but a good body shape so they included but white washed her. It's sad, not right and downright despicable.

So I made up a magazine for the Glee girls. One which shows that they can be beautiful. I would like to think it's a show choir monthly digest on the fashion, the clubs, and the news in the show choir world. Basically an excuse to make a little section for Tina cause she's awesome.

I completely agree! I haven't heard about Elle but know I want to write a SERIOUSLY OUTRAGED LETTER.

Thanks! I try to create something that's not only nice to look at but also original in context!

Wonderful job love. This should be in every magazine, only really them. They are both wonderful, beautiful girls and they are just as talented as the others. They deserve to be recgonised. Not left out. Like usual.

This is a beautiful piece of artwork, a beautiful concept, and it has a beautiful message. Every women is beautiful no matter what race/religion/size they are and shouldn't be discriminated against because they don't fit one specific definition of the word beautiful.
