(3,496 posts)Ad from photography studio advertising cotton field sessions. Ad shows pics of white children in fields of cotton. Very glamour type photos, one of white family near dilapidated machinery in cotton field.

(34,087 posts)has a very different feel to me than wearing cotton harvested fairly, or even using single stems as decoration.
Especially since every single shot when I do a Google search is of white families. Pages and pages of white families.
