LeBron James Covers Vogue
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James and supermodel Gisele Bundchen are on the cover of this month’s Vogue magazine. Forgive me, but I can’t erase the image of King Kong and Fay Wray from my mind when I look at this cover. Is this a good look for LeBron?

i think when you have as much money as lebron anything is a good look
I don’t like this cover at all.I can’t believe Vogue couldn’t find something better to do with Lebron.He looks the Big Black mandigo kidnapping Mistress Grace from the big house.
I feel you brwnsugga…Plus it was wrong of the blogger to reference king kong imo. Having man hands man does not make Gisele look like the iconic skyscraper climbing ape.lol
looks Ok to me! - nothing to write home about, but nothing wrong with it either
It does say shAPE Up!…
I meant shAPE issue!!!
LOL @ image of King Kong and Fay Wray
It’s not a good look for any Black Male! You’re right, it does remind you of King Kong and his Blond Prize.
SHAME ON VOGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO @ image of King Kong and Fay Wray, Sandra you wrong for that one
Talk about making something out of nothing.
Studies have shown white Americia looks at the black man as animals that only want to take their women….and I’ll be damned if that picture doesn’t take care of both of those sterotypes. I see where your going Sandra.
Here’s some of the study:
Discrimination against blacks linked to dehumanization, study finds the findings show that society is more likely to condone violence against black criminal suspects as a result of its broader inability to accept African Americans as fully human. Jennifer Eberhardt, a Stanford associate professor of psychology who is black, was shocked by the results, particularly since they involved subjects born after Jim Crow and the civil rights movement. “It was hard to prepare for how strong [the black-ape association] was—how we were able to pick it up every time.”
Here’s the full study:

a more clever cover would have been Giselle in athletic gear and Lebron in a nice suit…he always looks so debonaire and tasty in them
I don’t like the pic for Vogue. It is more befitting Sports Illustrated. Gisele and LeBron look ridiculous in this pic.
Since this is a fashion magazine, he should have been wearing a nice suit. The image is definitely very mandigoish. We also dont need another image of an athlete and white woman…so stereotypical!
LMAO @ PINKVIRGO!!! I hear you…
Would everyone be as aggravated if it was a white athelete posing with Gisetlle?the article is about bodys Lebron is the hottest athlete right now and Giselle is the top model. Their clothing is to showcase their bodies. How can anyone be angry at whites for thier thoughts about a photo with a black man and a white womant when Sandra herself has an image of a gorilla when she looks at this photo. We would not be discussing this either if it was Tyra or Naomi in the photo. Sometimes I am not sure if people really want to be treated exactly the same.
And THEY say that THIS cover made history. LeBron is the 3rd male to grace the cover of Vogue.
And I say: WHO GIVES A DAMN!
I just don’t care about the current American vogue covers anymore. They just become more about A-listers than the model and that makes them boring. If you see the covers in Europe they would blow you away. This, not the tiniest bit.
wiggy - you took my thoughts out of my head and wrote them down.
Thank you brookiebaby, had I agreed, gave a mandingo comment or a lmao I would get more support.
