Skin Bleaching Reloaded

Yep, it`s the same person! Former Cameroonian model Irene Major, married to Canadian oil tycoon, Sam Malin, Irene, together with her sister Elsa formed a music girl group in 2012 called Major, she`s also a proud skin bleacher. Here`s what she told UK Daily Mail:

"When my skin is lighter, I just feel prettier. It’s a taboo subject, and people get judgmental about it, but that’s how I feel. "A skin-lightening regime has been part of my life practically since birth. There are many different types of African skin — from dark charcoal to a lighter version — and you grow up knowing that the lighter ladies are the prettier ones. It’s just a fact.’ she said. Read what her sister says after the cut.

Her younger sister, Elsa, 27, agrees, explaining how disturbing hierarchies of skin colour are still influencing African girls. ‘Being lighter shows you belong to a different place on the social ladder. All the rich, successful black African men marry either a white or a very light-skinned girl because they too grew up thinking that the lighter is the most pretty. It doesn’t matter how dark a man is, of course — the pressure is all on women.’

Hmmmm, I think she looks much better as a dark skin woman, I still can`t get my finger around all this skin colour insecurities...whatever rocks your boat lady. More pictures of the sisters below.
