I wonder if the term “freeze mob” might not be a film production term for the “freeze” shots they do of the assembled mob — those moments where suddenly everyone is frozen. In some of the shots, they are frozen in identical positions. But in others, the freeze is more choreographed and everyone is caught looking slightly different.

I’ve seen Angela Bassett’s and Janet Jackson’s skin tones vary from setting to setting.

I chalk it up to photographer experience, lighting used, type of makeup, and whether or not the subject’s been out in the sun.

I am delighted that people responded to the cover, but truly saddened that MORE felt the need to use retouching to lighten Michelle’s skin tone for the cover. We have enough color-based racism in our lives as black women and I love Michelle just as she is, gorgeous chocolate complexion and all.

Think about it, they would never lighten up Sarah Palin and make her a blond.

These are “flash mobs”
A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse.

<3 wiki~

A freeze mob could be a subset of a flash mob…which were all the rage a few years ago…anyway, point is AWESOME
