Margarita Leviva - Exotic Beauty in "Lincoln Lawyer"

04/29/11 04:33 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Margarita+Levieva+25th+Film+Independent+Spirit+n88yH5Qa97xl
Margarita Leviva first caught my attention in Adventureland (a pretty good movie, by the way), but she also stands out in The Lincoln Lawyer, as Regina Campo, a prostitute beaten within an inch of her life.

Margarita has the type of resume many aspiring actresses would die for. She's not over saturated, but she's been in some very high profile, independent minded projects. In short, her resume indicates she makes intelligent choices. And even though she plays a prostitute in The Lincoln Lawyer, she somehow manages to elevate the material and bring a modicum of dignity to her character. Like Marielle Jaffe, Margarita tends to look better in moving pictures than in her still photos. (P.S. She has a modest, but noticeable, little bubble on her too)

Tika Sumpter - Me In My Place

04/27/11 06:47 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Well, I guess people pestered the Me In My Place guy about shooting a model of color long enough that he finally did it - and the results are quite nice (what else would you expect from this guy). Tika Sumpter has a solid recurring role on The Game this season.

Vanessa Nina / Porshatina

04/27/11 05:54 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Both of these models caught my attention recently, even though I really am against posting urban models with huge, distracting tattoos. Vanessa caught my interest because she has a commercial look and is well proportioned. However, her candid shots do not completey reconcile with these Dynasty Series shots. You guys take a look and be the judge.

With Porshatina, well... I think it's obvious what caught by eye. Girl is a brick house! There's a behind the scenes video for this shoot which indicates Photoshop is not as prevalent in her pix as you may initially think (aka this girl is just naturally curvy). Be interested to hear people's thoughts on both aspiring urban models.

Rashida Jones - Malibu Magazine

04/26/11 11:56 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Rashida1
Rashida is another one of those actresses who is extremely engaging and very attractive onscreen, but it's tough to find photos that do her justice. She's also a Harvard grad who starred in a movie about Harvard, which is pretty cool. I liked this snippet from her interview, about the trajectory of a starlet:

"It starts with 'Who is Rashida Jones?' then it's 'Get me Rashida Jones,' then it's 'Get me a Rashida-Jones-type,' then it's 'Get me a young Rashida Jones,' and then, 'Who's Rashida Jones?'"

Candace Smith - Speaking of Urban Models Who Deserve a Shot...

04/26/11 05:46 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Candace Smith graduated from one of the top law schools in the US - Northwestern University School of Law - and passed the Ohio bar exam. As an actress she was one of "Barker's Beauties" on The Price is Right game show and went on to have roles on Fox's Method and Red, HBO's Entourage and NBC's Joey. In 2006, she also had a memorable role in the Broken Lizard comedy Beerfest (nudity)

So why hasn't Candace been able to break through the fourth wall? If would appear she's perfectly qualified. Is it simply a matter of the intense competition to become the next ingenue in Hollywood?

Marielle Jaffe - From Girls Gone Wild to "Scream 4"

04/23/11 04:00 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
scream4_08
When Marielle Jaffe first appears in "Scream 4," which is teeming with beauties, you will immediately notice her. She is one of those women that is effortlessly captivating. Marielle's fast rise to stardom underscores the difference between doing a little cheesecake in mainstream versus urban. Dollicia Bryan would probably kill (literally) for a key role in the Scream franchise, and she's been at this nearly 5 years. Meanwhile, Marielle hit the scene just 2 years ago, in Girls Gone Wild magazine no less - a venue many would consider more risqué than KING magazine. And yet she started off in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

This is not to detract from Marielle's acting skills or likability onscreen, because she's good, but I've seen urban models who were comparable and didn't get these types of opportunities. Further, we just heard up-and-coming actress, Andrea Bordeaux, warn against this very type of sexy exposure for aspiring actresses. How are we to reconcile this with Ms. Jaffe's undoubtedly impressive career trajectory?

You can click on the image to enlarge it. The two main qualifications to be on this list: 1) I have to shoot with the model, and 2) they had to be in my top traffic searches (e.g., people are still looking for them on my blog). There are couple newcomers on the list, like Carol, and a couple that got bumped. Sad They are listing in alphebetical order.

Miss Koi - Nostalgia Series

04/20/11 04:39 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
After posting a series of svelte beauties, I am back to model that could be considered the prototype urban model: Miss Koi. Koi epitomizes the cute face/big backside type model that urban modeling has always been based upon. But for some reason, I had some trepidation in posting this. Like somehow it's not a progression of what's been going on here lately. I'm not sure why - it's a perfectly nice photo. The only thing remotely "controversial" about it is Koi's extra curviness. What do you think fellow bloggers? I'd be interested to hear others take on this.

Carol Seleme Daniel - Bonus Easter Egg

04/16/11 07:50 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Just some unseen footage that I thought was nice. Same rules at the others: download code is embedded as keyword in JPEG file. This is probably the longest of the clips, but most of it is just Carol painting... Hint: Relates to a post that concerns Melyssa Ford... Song in video: Blue Magnetic Ocean - Four A.D. (Image enlarges upon clicking Winking )

Andy Allo - On The Rise

04/15/11 01:19 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
AndyAllo-Visa-Indosplace
Most of us know her as Tee Tee's unfaithful girlfriend, Allison, on BET's The Game. But it turns out Andy Allo is a budding musician and is building an impressive resume of commercial creds, including a Visa print ad, a Clean and Clear commercial and hosting responsibilities on G4's "Attack of the Show." Andy has that look - similar to Andrea and Alysha - that sells very well in commercials and print ads. For now she has one little swimsuit photo in her Facebook profile - I wonder how long that will last. Winking

Suelyn - Up Close & Personal

04/11/11 11:44 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
The thing I liked about my shoot with Suelyn was the ability to get a certain amount of realism and intimacy that I hadn't seen in some of her other work. I think this image really exemplifies that. biggrin2

Sabrina Hunter may be the one model I shoot with who does her own hair and make-up better than anyone else can do it. Looking forward to shooting with her again (hopefully) this May. Bonus shot.
