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
