I've been peeping
Jenna Shea for a minute now.
For now, she's strictly a SHOW invention, with
very few professional photos aside from her work
with that magazine. To my knowledge, she hasn't
done any music videos or magazines outside of
SHOW. But I've seen this girl in person and
she's pretty impressive. There's been a little
controvery surrounding her backside and whether
it's real, but all parts seem genuine as far as
I can tell. (Click pics to enlarge)

As is the case in any industry, there are always
sleepers - genre favorites that may not get all the
hype on the front pages, but behind the scenes
they're the ones people are really talking about.
Neshelle fits this
description. For several years, while Melyssa
and Esther and Angel got the covers, the message
boards and blogs were talking about this cutie
from Detroit. She's been in
Hush magazine, as well as
KING and Smooth, but where she mainly excelled
was on the internet. No doubt about it, Neshelle
is an industry favorite.

Given the enthusiastic response she got over the
weekend on the message boards, I figured I'd drop the
last, new XXL photo of MsCat I have.

And finally, you can reach Angel

This is one of the best TFP sessions I've ever had.
Gotta give shout outs to my make-up artist
Tai Young on these too. If
you like the pic, give Miss Koi a shout out on
Twitter.

For some reason,
Olivia Munn has become a
favorite even in the urban market, which is
somewhat strange given her relative lack of
curves
for that niche.
Anyway, I posted these because of the amazing,
photo-realistic retouching more than anything. Urban
photographers and magazine editors need to take note
- this is how you do it.

I can't tell you how many times I see this sort of
thing. A photographer shoots a dope model but decides
he wants to either: 1) keep her all to himself for
future shoots, or 2) put his photo branding ahead of
her name recognition. Models, you will never get
anywhere from this arrangement. There are countless
anonymous models floating around the net like this --
girls who could've been recruited for bigger and
better things like music videos or magazines and made
money, had they been more in control of their images.
This should have been part of the "Getting Quality
Photos" post in the Model Advice section, so I'll add
it there. By the way, nothing against this particular
photographer. I actually think this is a pretty good
photo. You can check out his work
here.

It's important to remember the foundations of the
genre. Eboni Renee was XXL's Eye Candy in March 2003
and Eye Candy of the Year in 2004. But Eboni hit the
video vixen scene right before it reached its peak,
so her fame didn't mean the same thing monetarily as
it did for girls that came later, like Buffie.
Anyway, she also marks one of the few times in the
history of video vixens a darker model was on top
regrettably. I couldn't find any verifiable contact
pages for Eboni, so I guess you'll just have to
settle for nostalgia.

Nothing like taking photos out of the archives. Can
you imagine the gems we might get of vixens like
Melyssa if someone took the time to post some of
those shots that didn't make it into the magazine.

So
Melyssa Ford was in my hood
today on Crenshaw Blvd. for the
Lady Hennessy promotional
tour. A friend of mine took this pic for me, and
like many others, he said she looks even better
in person and radiates intelligence. I'm a
little bitter I wasn't able to meet with her,
but maybe next time.

I had a tough time with whether I should crop this
shot or not. I ultimately decided
not to crop because it incorporates
more colors (the sky) and makes the picture more
interesting. What do you think? Wrong decision?

Taneish is doing it big time! This is what the urban
modeling industry needs - an infusion of class.
Bravo!

I took the first pic (with the boxing gloves) a few
months ago, but Koi's been working out since then and
lost weight. Can you see the difference? I can. I
know it's healthier, but I hate to see that über
thickness go, lol. Catch up with Miss Koi on Twitter
here.

Edit: Another candid added later...

I first learned about Lakeisha Brown when she was
taping a reality show called "America's Hottest
Honey." A friend called me and said: "There's this
girl on the show and she's
really pretty."
Since this particular friend doesn't say that about
many models, I knew it had to be true. Regrettably,
"America's Hottest Honeys" never made it onto the
airwaves (instead we got E!'s "Candy Girls"). But
Lakeisha is the real deal. She reminds me of an early
Melyssa Ford, and interestingly they're both
Scorpios. Anyway, this girl has kind of disappeared
from the scene. Fortunately,
SHOW magazine got her before
she ducked out.
You can give her a shout out on Myspace
here.

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.
