Amber Rose For YRB Magazine With Hair!
Though Amber Rose isn’t causing the tidal wave of buzz she did when she first appeared on the arm of Kanye West, she’s still out there doing her thing, including a feature in YRB magazine where we see her sporting a Marilyn-style blonde wig. It’s good to see that the staff let her spreard her wings a bit and try something in a different lane from the white-girl-with-the-big-booty that had everyone losing their minds for a minute. In the article, Rose says she was always a weirdo, and says about her beautiful bod and signing with Ford Model Agency, ““I’m lucky because I get to keep my womanly figure, and that’s very important for me and the young girls that look up to me – that they can have curves and breasts, hips, and ass and still feel beautiful.”

You know she isn’t white though, right?
i’ve read the debates about her race (her mother is african), but in a few interviews i’ve read she has identified as a “white girl” so that’s what i go with. it is funny how some folks think that if you have a big ass, dress flashy and have a citified accent you MUST be at least partially black. its says a lot about stereotypes and how tightly people hold on to them, whether they are of benefit or not.
Actually Her mother is African from Cape Verde she even said on her twitter that she is half black half Italian and Irish
Didn’t see the Twitter–just her interviews in mags and on the radio, but if she has changed how she identifies then so be it. People often do because of expanded consciousness and/or depending on who their audience is. Still, being African/from Cape Verde does’t = black anymore than being American/European = white. And just as the general population in the U.S. and Europe views her as not white, you can be sure the general population in most of Africa views her as not black, all of which also shapes self-identity, too.
