The other half of Show’s double feature in the premiere issue of SHOWCase, Laura Dore aka Sweetie aka Sweetie Cyanide burns up the pages. Sweetie shows off her trade mark hips and talks about what makes her different in the urban game.
I think I’m one of the only urban models ever to go into fetish. You hardly ever see any Fetish models of mixed or African-American descent…I think a common misconception about Fetish is that it’s only bondage, and anyone that does it also does porn. Fetish ranges from bondage to pinup. Fetish gives you a wide range of choices to play with including rubber, costumes, weapons, etc.
You can checkout more of what Sweetie means at her new website LauraDore.com.
The other surprise about Sweetie is she is a huge horror fan. So if you want to snuggle up to her and her pitbull “Butters” you better be up on your classic gore flicks.
I grew up on Up All Night. I like everything from Sleepaway Camp to Basket Case…In 5th grade I had a complete fasincation with the Little Shop of Horrors. I wanted to be Audrey Two so bad that my mom bought me a Venus Flytrap.
Up All Night?!? As Texas girl growing up on horror flicks I’d expect a Joe Bob Briggs reference.

You’ve seen Vanessa Veasely as the video vixen in Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop”, The Game and Kanye West’s “Wouldn’t Get Far” and Mike Jones’s feat. Hurricane Chris “Drop and Give Me 50″ (more music video credits checkout Video Vixen Vanessa Veasley – The Hourglass).
Vanessa is featured along with Sweetie in a double cover premerie issue of SHOWCase a new special feature magazine by Show. Both sides of this issue are packed with dozens of on point shots. I picked a dozen good ones but could have picked another dozen.
Vanessa’s confidence really shines in this issue and on the subject, Vanessa says…
…Sexy comes from the inside…That’s something you have to deal with really quickly if you want to shoot with SHOW because the focus is on you. There no rappers to hide behind, no other models in your shot to vibe off of, and no fancy props to keep your hands busy. You have to make the connection with your eyes. If you aren’t in love with yourself, you’re going to fall flat on your face.
Vanessa definitely connected with the camera and took it to another level with this shoot.
You can checkout all things Vanessa at VanessaVeasley.com or give her a shout at her MySpace.

Video vixen Shillae Anderson showed up to this shoot for Blackmen on her motorcycle. Shillae says she started riding at the start of 2008. On riding in NJ she says…
It’s interesting; the motorcycle community in NJ/NY is very tight, so I’ve met a lot of other bikers. Lately I’ve become the biker chic. I even meet other bikers out at different spots. It’s a lot of fun, like being in a club. It’s very dangerous, but I’m careful. I live with the philosophy that whatever is going to happen is going to happen, so I just ride safely and have fun.
I’ve been riding for long time, got all my limbs, no cuffs. My rule is always wear full gear and stay in the lead (split the lane, go faster), keep them in your rearview so they never get the chance. Laugh at any fool on four wheels that tries to race you.
Give Shillae a shout at her MySpace or read up on her at Shillae.com.

Born and raised SoCal Monique May is pure West Coast. Monique hits the pages of Show 19 East with a feature. Outside of modeling, Monique makes money working as a go-go dancer, promotions and car shows. On dancing Monqiue says…
Ever since I was 16, I’ve been going to 21 and over clubs. When I was 19 I went to a club in Long Beach and saw gogo dancers for the very first time…My first reaction was “Are they really getting paid to do that?!?” It looked like so much fun. Getting paid to dancer.
Dancing has taken Monique to 20 different countries with paid gigs and she still loves dancing.
You can give Monqiue May a shout at her MySpace.
Beverly Sade featured in Smooth Girl #15 got the another spotlight from Smooth in their latest issue. Beverly is a 100% natural and the curves to prove it.
On celebrity crushes Beverly says…
When I was younger, I had a crush on Rick James…there was something about him. The way he moved. Even the hair. He had braids, but I liked it. He had a swagger about him.
On models she admires…
I really look to Tyra Banks. She started off doing the whole modeling thing, but she’s taken it to a whole other level. She’s running her own business, writing checks, and making her own decisions. That’s what I want to do.

Being nominated for an Oscar in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Taraji Henson has definitely put the spotlight back on her. It helps to make up for the crime they committed in 2005 when they failed to nominate her for Hustle and Flow. One thing you can bank on is this won’t be the last time she is up for an Oscar, and she will eventually win it.
Taraji has several flims in the pipe for this year including Hurricane Season directd by Tim Story and co-starring Forest Whitaker , Not Easily Broken directed by Billy Duke (Mac from Predator) and currently filiming Once Fallen.
The funny thing about this set is I started getting emails about new pics of Taraji in the new issue of Blackmen. Well, one photo is new but this is a photo shoot from 2005 that was first published by the former magazine Unleashed. I guess everyone is getting into recycling. Anyway, I scanned the new pic and included the Unleashed versions below for the other two.
Hopefully Taraji’s other films hit some gold because I want to see more of her in print. She’s an underrated honey that needs some more love.

Video vixen Gina Marie was born to an interracial couple that shortly after her birth put her and her older sister into foster care. Luck was on Gina Marie’s side because at 15 months old both her and her sister were adopted by a prominent black family. On her family Gina says…
Because I was raised by an African American family, I basically claim African American as my race. If anything, I might say that I am interracial, but my adopoted family raised my sister Toni and me very well, so I enjoy claiming them as my family.
You can reach Gina’s agent at TSD Models.
Video vixen Annie Love is Panama raised and Miami schooled. She was the music video girl in Akon’s “Don’t Matter”, R-Kelly’s “Slow Wind” and “Burn It Up”; Ne-yo’s “When You’re Mad” and “Go On Girl”; and Trick Daddy’s “Sugar.”
On haters Annie says…
Never give up or listen to the negative things that people say, especially the haters. You have to learn to avoid them at all cost. It’s to keep your head up and keep trying. Everyone has their time and your time will come…
