To coincide with the release of the March "Hollywood" issue, Glamour magazine is launching glamourfilmfest.tv, an online film festival of short independent films by women, for women.This launch marks a return to Glamour's Hollywood roots. When the magazine made its debut in 1939 it was Glamour of Hollywood, a fashion tome devoted to getting the movie star look.
The March issue features Naomi Watts on the cover and celebrates women in all aspects of film. Not only are they covering the starlets and the designers who dress them, but stories include insight into the lives of powerful female movie executives, with tips from Polly Cohen, the president of Warner Independent Pictures, and Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce, and a list of the greatest movie lines by actresses. Glamour's commitment to women in film transcends the pages and usual best dressed, the Glamour Reel Moments initiative, a short film series based on moments in readers' lives, which has given women the chance to direct in a male dominated arena. The program has given the Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson their directorial debuts.

A little something I thought I'd share with you.. One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat.
"This wheat should be planted," she said. "Who will plant this grain of wheat?""Not I," said the Duck.
"Not I," said the Cat.
"Not I," said the Dog.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow.
"The wheat is ripe," said the Little Red Hen. "Who will cut the wheat?""Not I," said the Duck.
"Not I," said the Cat.
"Not I," said the Dog.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will thresh the wheat?"
"Not I," said the Duck."Not I," said the Cat.
"Not I," said the Dog.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
When the wheat was threshed, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will take this wheat to the mill?"
"Not I," said the Duck."Not I," said the Cat.
"Not I," said the Dog.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, "Who will make this flour into bread?"
"Not I," said the Duck."Not I," said the Cat.
"Not I," said the Dog.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.
She made and baked the bread. Then she said, "Who will eat this bread?"
"Oh! I will," said the Duck."And I will," said the Cat.
"And I will," said the Dog.
"No, No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will do that." And she did.
Interesting article, my friends and I had actually had a discussion about this a while ago.."There used to be myself, Naomi Campbell,Veronica Webb, Tyra Banks," Beckford said. "There used to be a lot of us out there, but today a lot of the designers just aren't catering to black people."
In truth, this Fashion Week looked like about as diverse — or homogenous — as many before it. But if ever there should have been more people of color on the runway, the time was now.
