Vybz Kartel bleaching. Share this:. Like this: Like Loading But the problem, like most of those thrown up by the cosmetic industry, is often seen as largely as the concern of women. A Public Radio International article in talked mainly of "poor Asian women" who were affected by the fashion for skin bleaching, while a blog from the same year titled The Dark Side of Pale used the line "it's one rule for the men and another for women". But a press release in my inbox last week showed that the problem may not be divided down gender lines at all.
I was shocked to learn that the dancehall artist Vybz Kartel — never one to shy away from a commercial venture — is launching a range of cosmetics this month, including his own brand of skin lightener.
It's something of an un natural progression from the musician's decision earlier this year to lighten his own skin and the launch of his own "cake soap", a traditional Jamaican product intended for white clothes but which is reportedly misused to alter skin colour. Vybz Kartel has previously explained that his use of skin lightener is purely for style — that he sees it as being no different from women straightening their hair — and in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine he made his feelings on the subject clear: "I have said in a statement that when everyone stops doing all of that shit, we can all live naturally ever after.
But until then, fuck you all. Dr Shirley Ann Tate, senior lecturer in social policy and sociology at the University of Leeds, is not surprised by Kartel's new image, nor the business venture that goes with it.
