FanMAIL: ESSENCE Publishing Old Photos?

Sandra Rose December 11, 2008

I suspected these photos of Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vazquez published in ESSENCE magazine were old. Those pics have to be at least a year old because Baby Melo is all grown up now. What’s up with ESSENCE publishing old photos as new?

Hey Sandra,
I read your blog all the time and I saw the post about Carmelo and LaLa. A lot of the comment were about baby Kiyan’s hairline, so I sent you this picture of him with his mommy at his daddy’s game (12/2/08).

Thanks Sophia!

[Hidepost]Hopefully I don’t have to remind you guys that LaLa is reading the blog. LaLa and I go way back to the days when LaLa was a radio jock on Hot 97.5 here in Atlanta.[/Hidepost]

The Essence pics might be a little old, but there is no way they are a year old. The differance in his size is not that drastic. There is no need to get all salty about the hairline comments. We are all smart enough to know that baby’s hair often doesn’t fill in for up to a couple of years or so.

The pics are a little old. Probably due to editorial space the story was pushed it happens all the time in publications. No big deal.
