I love the way Alek Wek looks, She's a perfect representation of God's first created woman, Which is the black woman.

its not a problem 2 be proud of ur skincolour;not at all,its even super,very good,but u really shouldnt exagerate like that!we dont know which colour she had and it really doesnt metter.When a kid is born he doesnt wonder about his mothers skincolour,she is just mom,the woman that brought him 2 life...so just try 2 view the world the same way it might help u;don't see the colour and the story of it,see the personality and the character of the person

rjharris1960 and i quote u "EVEN THOUGH she has very strong African features. That's called a backhanded compliment, just say what you really think. That's even more insulting than calling her unattractive period. Your preference is your preference but be straight-up, more honest. African is who she is everything else is relative really.PEACE

To all the negative ... ( 1 month ago by honeegrrl)

To all the negative people making negative comments:
This woman is getting paid just to model and walk on the runway and I'm sure she makes more money in 1 day than you do in a year (if you make any money at all) so stop hating. And how much money do you all make. I bet when you look at your pay stub you feel like sh-t huh? When Alek looks at her pay stub she I'm sure she's smiling.

You're absolutely right, Christian. Alek is a replica of our ancestors. She is regal. I love my dark skin.

Alex Wek is a ... ( 3 weeks ago by muttlover1)

Alex Wek is a creation of God. Those of you who call her ugly are criticising God. Mankind put up these artificial barriers of what is beautiful and what is not!! Man is imperfect. If you have a problem w/how she looks then take it up w/God. P.S. Let me know what He said.

Amen, no doubt this ... ( 3 weeks ago by cageynerd)

Amen, no doubt this is the work of God and the work of God, in any form is beautiful. Models don't just represent custom and trend, they represent the rare and fleeting. We only appreciate these things, when they are not there. So, God, he knew what to do, for what reason, and in what way. God Bless her -- she is also a very wise girl.

I am from the ... ( 2 weeks ago by kevon82)

I am from the Caribbean and traditionally we are groomed and raised to honour lighter skin and european features. So it is no surprise that I also idolized such. One day I saw Alek Wek at a cafe in central London, and all that changed. She is radiant, a beautiful dark skinned goddess.
