i subscribe to vogue. i got this in my mail and thought that lebron james was just being a big dork. he looks like he's having fun. i doubt anybody told him to make an ape face, his pose seems so unposed and playful it's almost undignified. same for gisele, she looks silly and giddy. i guess that's why they chose it, it's different. fresh and spontaneous and not self-conscious, just two celebrities dorkin out.
by the by i dont think they have to make him look ten times her size with some kind of manipulative perspective. he probably is ten times as wide as her. after all she is anorexic and he is ripped like what. so ripped.
you could say their size discrepancies make a really scary gender statement quite apart from race. pop culture is constantly placing weak, starving woman beside rambo-like men. the white men look like gorillas; skin color doesn't matter in terms of men being cast as rapacious beasts and women being cast as helpless, wan prey. the totally exaggerated differences in male and female anatomy constitute the tension, the sick sex appeal and definite creepiness in this photo and millions of others. the picture tells a thousand words: women are constantly being literally belittled. made diminutive. the king kong / fay wray dynamic is at work in pop culture everywhere, no matter what color the players are. this is not to say the skin colors in this photograph are not provocatively paired and compared.
i dont know what my point is. that was an interesting article. you should read it and tell me what you think. now, is the pic rascist? that is a sticky question you can answer for your self. me i'd say sexist first. but it's so typical, like, whatever.
