Rant Alert!!
Mr Messy brought a catalogue home for "The White Company" mainly for the style of photography featured in its pages. I was having a flick through it, as I like a lot of their linens and accessories and saw some absolutely gorgeous things, that would be perfect for Ethiopia MeiMei's bedroom. However, I will not be buying from this company! The reason?? It seems that their name extends to the models they use in their advertising too. Every single child, apart from one who may have been at least partly Chinese, was white. Every single one!!! I'm going to be writing to the company over the weekend to express my disgust and explain why I won't be buying anything from them. I'm refusing to even put a link to the company in this post, if you want to find them you'll have to google them!

Yes but mum, I'm sure that if they were called 'The Black Company' and only featured black girls, you would say how wonderful that is! Don't deny it, I've known you a long time, I know how you think!
Hi,
I think that in this day and age that a company calling itself The White Company should have the sense to use a multicultural set of models. And I would be just as upset with a company called The Black Company only featuring black models. My family isn't all one or the other and neither is the modern world, so companies should strive to reflect that in their advertising.
Lots of love
Mummy

The White Comapany has nice items but very middle class and they should think about making it more multi cultural.

Hi Rosie,
