              This was one of my favorite spreads from this issue
              of 
KING magazine. As some of you
                   know, 
Vanessa Veasley gave a
                   
great interview previously on
                   my blog in which she prognosticated about the
                   future of urban modeling, stating (in response
                   to whether urban modeling was dead): "There is
                   no industry. 
There are urban models, urban
                   mags, urban music, and events, but we have
                   totally lost the small industrious nature of it
                   we were slowly cultivating in the early
                   '00s. ¶ I don't think it will ever recover.
                   Models are being replaced by strippers who don't
                   need the money and beautiful, insecure women who
                   shoot mags only to validate themselves. Any dude
                   with a camera is now a photographer; any dude
                   that can code has an online magazine. Music
                   videos have no budgets and no one watches them
                   anyway. It's a circus." I always thought that
                   was a pretty dead on assessment of the current
                   state of affairs in "the business." Gotta love
                   it: beauty and brains.

              I've got an ax to grind with Vanessa Veasley
              

 It's not that I don't like her
                   personally - I don't really know her - but I
                   don't like how she ostensibly worked the system
                   by being an editor at SHOW while also being
                   featured on several covers.
              
              
              According to Vanessa, that's inaccurate. A recent
              exchange between us on the infamous 
BlakkJackSkanz message board
                   went a little something like this:
              
              
              
              Within minutes of her
              post, I got an email from her that read: "Instead
              of making up lies and assumptions about me on your
              and other websites why not just interview me? Might
              be fun! Lol" Busted! Touche Ms. Veasley. What
              you're about to read is the result Vanessa's good
              sportmanship and invitation to interview her.

              I try to post women that look good, irrespective of
              whether I like the particular model or not, which I
              don't in this case (how can you be the [one-time]
              editor of a major urban magazine, and a model in it
              at the same time? Isn't that a conflict of interest?)
              Nevertheless, these are some nice pics of Vanessa
              Veasley.
              
              
              Props to 
Dynasty Series for these.

              This is the result of over 9,000 votes on
              
BlackJackSkanz - one of the
                   best known websites for urban models out there.
              
              
              A couple interesting notes: 1) Seems like Suelyn
              should be higher - she had a great '09, 2) Seems like
              Cubana and Vanessa should be lower; a testament to
              the power of a large Twitter following, and 3)
              Suleika's position seems well deserved.
              
              
              Bria finished Second Place in 
Cutie Central's Top Vixen Poll
                   for '09 (number one for Model in Highest
                   Demand) so it looks like she is quite possibly
                   the number one urban model right now.

              Browse around Vanessa Veasley’s 
Twitter page and you’ll see
                   that this model and SHOW mag editor is more than
                   just a pretty face - she’s got a good head on
                   her shoulders. That last pic suggests she used
                   be a little thicker at one point though. (Click
