I'm appalled that I've misperceived the meaning of "Vanity Fair" for all of these years. I had always thought the magazine was titled after a place name in Pilgrim's Progress, a metaphor for ostentation and frivolity.

Apparently what it really means is that beauty is white.

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto appears in Vanity Fair's March issue A LOT lighter than she is in real life, and it's pissed off a lot of people!

Why did they have to give Freida the whitewash treatment like Beyonce got compliments of L'Oreal ?

We don't know because Vanity Fair has refused to answer questions about the whitewashing.

The track record is still perfect--all the racists I know are self-described liberals...
