To be fair, Tyra must have the first solo cover, but she never said that in all the years I heard her mention GQ.

Sheila Johnson was the first black woman on the March issue of American Vogue.  Besides September, March is the biggest, most important issue of a fashion magazine.

Tyra never made the cover of American Vogue, FYI.  :letsmessfag:

r u serious :uhh:

no wonder she's not on these supermodel lists


i think every american supermodel has appeared on VOGUE at least once
american vogue.


Besides runway, Tyra was not high fashion like that.  She did lots of haute couture shows early on, but did not do a ton of print work and covers.  So, I would not consider her a supermodel.  :overit:

She got curvy and big boobs as she got older, so she slayed swimsuits and lingerie.  She became a household name due to commercial brands like Victoria's Secret and Cover Girl.  That is a big accomplishment.

Pat Cleveland, who has been modeling since the sixties.  She's a contemporary of Beverly and Iman, but she's been around even longer and still slays today.

After September, December is the biggest issue.

Lie.  March has all the spring ads and fashions from those collections. 

March has the spring ads, and September introduces the fall/winter ads.  Those are the two biggest, followed by the succeeding months April and October.

December is one of the smallest.

Dead at you basing it on pages. March just recently got more pages added to it.
Sept and Dec are the covers the girls want.
March they usually toss a musician on there. I said what I said.

:ummwhat:

What are you talking about?

Yes, "biggest" refers to the number of pages. :omgwatshappening:

March has ALWAYS been the 2nd biggest because it has always introduced the spring/summer collections.  Just like September is THE biggest because it introduces the fall/winter collections.  Like :uhh:  And you put the biggest faces most likely to sell your magazine's biggest issues.

That's why so few black women have appeared on the March and September covers.  They are quick to put us on August, February, June, July, December, etc.  The small issues.

QuoteBecause marketers use them to introduce new looks, fashion magazines' March and September issues have long commanded extra attention from advertisers and readers. Media observers sometimes weigh September issues to get across just how many pages they carry. March is the next-most important issue.
http://adage.com/article/media/fashion-titles-important-march-issues-show-ad-page-gains/232362/


QuoteNUMBERS, NUMBERS: March is the second-most important month behind September for fashion magazines in terms of print advertising revenue — and this year was no exception.

Not all of these March celeb issues had good sales.

Post by: ssw4919 on March 13, 2017, 01:47:55 AM
Not compared to any issues; other March issues.  :omgwatshappening:

All print sales are down in this day and age.  But March still has the second-most ads.  Why would advertisers pay for the ad space (literally hundreds of pages) if people didn't buy copies of the magazine that month?  :uhh:

Nothing suggests December is bigger or more coveted than a March cover.

Those folks did well on their covers, relatively.

QuoteRihanna?s Vogue cover from last year also bested competitors. As Steigrad notes: ?Taylor Swift and her BFF Karlie Kloss couldn?t outdo Rihanna for Vogue. The much-ballyhooed Swift/Kloss cover sold 11.2 percent fewer copies in March, at 230,925 copies, than Ri-Ri?s March 2014 cover.?
https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2015/05/19/rihanna-sell-magazines/%3Fsource%3Ddam

QuoteFor example, according to Women?s Wear Daily, Lady Gaga appeared on the March cover of American Vogue in 2011, which put Vogue in the spot for the only fashion magazine category to show an increase in print sales in the first half of the year alone. 100,000 more copies were sold in comparison to Vogue?s previous March 2010 copy, which featured comedian and actress, Tina Fey.

To her credit, Tyra had several stunning covers.  She was a favorite of Elle... just not the American version. 

I don't know if she has a Vogue cover in her prime bedsides the Vogue Spain cover in 1992.

All I said was she wasn't the first on GQ.  It's not fair if her to disregard the accomplishments of those who paved the way for her. :overit:


She was huge as a commercial girl.  I said being Cover Girl and Victoria's Secret main angel was what made her a household name.

:dead:  I remember looking years ago, but couldn't remember if I ever saw another one. 

Her lack of Vogue covers (or even editorials, tbh), and high fashion ad appearances are why I don't put her on the same supermodel level of the rest.  Just my opinion. 

Now, sis did storm the runway when she first debuted.  The problem was she got boobs and curves early, which pushes her out of that high fashion lane.  She was able to make all that work for her when she transitioned to swimsuits and lingerie, so that was brilliant.  Plus, she has a gorgeous face and got the Cover Girl gig.
