This history of
XXL Eye Candy, which starts
with issue number 4 somewhere around '97-'98 and
goes through 2006, gives you an idea of the
evolution (or perhaps the devolution) of the
urban eye candy genre. As you can see, it
started off with celebrities such as Jennifer
Lopez and Traci Bingham. This was back when
BlackMen magazine still featured women like Tyra
and Beyonce on the cover of their magazine.
We also see that Melyssa Ford was an Eye Candy as far
back as August 2000, which means she's been in the
game nearly a decade now. Notice there is a lot of
repetition in those early years, because there was a
dearth of name brand eye candy models. People like
Gloria Velez, Sincerely Ward, and Pasha were all
featured twice.
And then between 2004 and 2006, urban modeling hits
its stride, with models like Vida, KiToy Johnson,
Summer Walker, and Esther Baxter. Too bad that's
where it ends. It would be interesting to have seen
the years between 2007 and 2009. (Click to enlarge)
