OH MY GOD, I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE the slight change of race on the blog. i’m so focused on the fashion THAT THE RACE OF THE PERSON WEARING THE CLOTHING DOESN’T MATTER.

CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU DO. YOU’RE FINE. EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Nothing wrong with diversity. Personally I prefer the black women and most women of color i.e. asian or hispanic. There are some pretty white women out there of course but I think black women can rock a style much better not trying to sound harsh but yeah. That’s just me though.

I like the idea of an “urban” site. I’ve been reading daily for almost five years and this is my favorite. In my opinion there wouldn’t be such a big hoopla if the white girls had urban appeal or really sickening/inspirational style.

My issue is that these are not Victoria Beckems or Gwen Stefanis just something other than brown… basic, run of the mill, garden variety, average, everday white girls. No offense

Diversity (real diversity, not tokenism) is great. Featuring the same over-exposed celebs (of any race/ethnicity) as every other fashion site is wack.

I’m from Brazil and I LOOOOOVE FBD *-*
I visit this site thousand times a day, also commeting a lot on FBD Facebook fan page lol
I’m a ‘white’ guy (as u all know, my country is very miscegenated) and the whole race thing is not a big deal for most of us.
I appreciate white blogs as well as urban blogs (actually this is my favorite English-speaking fashion blog besides Red Carpet Fashion Awards)
sooo I’m here for all these ethnicities :)

Claire I agree with diversity completely. But to thine own blog remain true. Changes will come, but hold on to that niche that brought and kept me and many other readers here in the first place. Your loyal readers will remain, others may fade away because of fear of the unknown, but as long as you stay true to the vision and values fbd is based on, you will gain more and become even bigger than you imagined. I come here because I can relate, you inspire me and most of the styles you showcase I can achieve effortlessly. I am a Bahamian woman that finds style inspiration from Sheikha Mozah, so diversity I indeed embrace.

Being diverse is one thing, but u are the only blogger letting in other races other fashion blogs focuse and continue to highlight their own culture . I dont see them featuring or posting or tyring their hardest to feature black people. Look at all these magazine companies completely overlooked the black community, but are now bending over more than prostitues to cater to the mexicans. They all have what is about to be every single magazine now catering to that entire race by giving them their own version. Again another generation blacks got left behind. This is the beginning this site will be bought out and will be in spanish eventually.
