1. UK Vogue to expose magazine fakery, hurrah!
Vogue is making a behind-the-scenes documentary that will expose “the difference between fashion and reality and how a fashion image is constructed.”
British Vogue editor and Equity Model Code champion, Alexandra Shulman, 55, has revealed she is making a film for schools which highlights how models look the way they do in the magazine’s pages with the help of make-up, lighting and airbrushing.
In order to give teenagers a more body positive message, it will been shown to secondary school students and Shulman says she hopes to stop “a 12-year-old looking at a fashion model in Vogue [from] thinking, ‘Why don’t I look like that?'”
Given the launch of the teen-focused Miss Vogue magazine both here and in the UK, this can only be a good thing.

3. Beyonce invites a toddler on stage, it’s NOT Blue Ivy okay.
Several media outlets mistakenly reported that a toddler Beyonce plucked off the stage during her London concert was her 15-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
Not so. A rep for the singer told Just Jared (and as Us Weekly put it) she was “just a kid in the crowd.”
The toddler wore protective earphones and held hands with 31-year-old Beyoncé as she performed Irreplaceable to a 20,000-strong crowd.
Two days later, Beyoncé admitted she is planning to have more children on Good Morning America.
“I would like more children,” she said. “I think my daughter needs company. I definitely love being a big sister [to Solange].”
