White people aren't the only ones who like to darked their complexion. She normally tans when she's performing and on this Loreal ad is her natural winter color. I've seen the girl in person and we're the exact same shade. Sometimes she tans, sometimes she does'nt. Pay attention people.

Last month Italian Vogue published an all-black issue, not a single white model anywhere in sight, and it sold out all over Italy so fast that they had to immediately print another run of 40,000 copies to satisfy the complaints from news vendors. I wonder how the fashion industry will respond to that (or explain it away).
