One thing I don't want this blog to become is a copy cat of stuff that everyone else is posting. This Tahiry Jose post is already on all the blogs today.

On the other hand, I don't want to hold out on significant events in the world of urban modeling just to buck a trend. So with that said, behold! Tahiry's new shots for her upcoming site, Tahirytv.com. Props to the infamous Wasabi for these pics.

Every so often I will post one of the models I shot in the 90s just as a kind of retrospective on the state of the industry. Ferrari Farris was very hot in '95. She was the lead video vixen in Domino's "Sweet Potato Pie," which was poppin' back in the day, and appeared on the cover of Ebony Man magazine's swimsuit issue. The photo I took of her on the left was taken in 1995. The ad on the right is a Walmart commercial that just aired last month, in 2009, nearly 15 years later. Now ask yourself, how many of today's urban models will be working 15 years from now? I'd say Melyssa Ford is the only one I can think of, given that she hit the market in around 2000.

Maliah's new DVD, "No Turning Back," is a must have for any diehard Maliah fan. She spends a decent portion of the DVD educating the viewer about fake booty versus real booty, which is probably needed in today's market of plastic blow up dolls. After this clip, in which Maliah makes it pretty clear that her ass is real, I'm sure most people will be convinced.

You can purchase Maliah's DVD on her website and you can reach her on Twitter here.

Hoopz is not as curvy as I usually like, but she's most definitely sexy. In fact, these are probably the best photos I've ever seen of her. Check her out in the new issue of BlackMen Magazine.
