In that ANTM photo shoot, the girl HERSELF was upset that she had to portray Grace Jones because she had a hangup about being dark skinned. Tyra pretty much read her the riot act. Tyra does a lot of stupid shit but she was right on where this incident was concerned.

As far as that Beyonce pic, IMO it's not an "homage." It's blackface. I don't care if she is wearing tribal markings or leopard print, in fact that makes it even more offensive, like "ooh, see, she is wearing jungle print so it's OK."
