Dana Edell, executive director of SPARK, said Teen Vogue presents hard-core fashion that emulates the look of its adult counterparts, compared to Seventeen's overall focus on the teen lifestyle. By Edell's count, Teen Vogue's online homepage Wednesday featured 15 models, all "very, very thin and 13 who were white." "These images don't look like most girls," she said. "They present an alien, skinny, scrawny, blond, skeletal beauty." Protester Britney Franco, 13, of Brooklyn is a Teen Vogue subscriber. She hopes to be a photographer and fashion editor one day. "I love the magazine," she said. "That's why I want them to change."
