Nadia Dawn – New Year New Dawn

BlaKKJaKK — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:49:58 +0000

A New Year and a fresh dose of Nadia Dawn. If you checkout Nadia’s IMDB page you can see she has been busy. Every role is a stepping stone to something bigger and badder.

On Hollywood Nadia says…

Women have other ways of going about their lives than having SUGAR DADDIES or allowing men to cheat on them because they have money. What has this day and age come to? Why would we sell our soul for a quick buck? These type of women are all around me, especially in this industry. Let’s be positive, let’s help society progress, let’s make a change, let’s be the LIGHT.

You can follow Nada Dawn on her Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or checkout NadiaDawn.com.

The Candy Shop Talks Photochoping

BlaKKJaKK — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 08:00:42 +0000

What has Vanessa Veasley been up to since she left her editor role at Show Magazine? A lot, but one is she has joined The Candy Shop blogtalk radio show. Whether you add their show to your iTunes or not, everyone that is a fan of this site should listen to this episode about Photoshop and Urban Modeling. Vanessa Veasley and Brooke Bailey give it straight, but what takes it over the edge is about halfway when Nick Saglimbeni joins the conversation.

A lot of nonsense gets talked about Photoshop in the urban scene. The fans are quick to yell “She’s Photoshoped to death” or “She got a fake…”, etc. You don’t hear people picking up Playboy, Maxim, or the latest pictures of Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie screaming Photoshop, but they are Photoshoped. Every image in every magazine is retouched to one degree or another.

The key is if it’s done with an eye for balance between fantasy and reality. I think the SHOWCase issues are best example of retouching done right. Photoshop works best like any other digital effect, when it’s used to augment what is already there. Anytime you try to create what ain’t there, it just ends up looking fake.

Give a listen and add to your iTunes.

Blackmen 40/40 Cover Story

BlaKKJaKK — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:47:32 +0000

The next Blackmen magazine is about to drop (maybe already for the East Coast) and it’s their 40/40 issue so you know its gonna packed with honeys. But one thing just doesn’t seem right to me. You got Bubbles, Halie and Amazin Amie on the cover. But Amie and Bubblez are off to the side while Halie is featured, front and center. WTF? Nothing against Halie, she’s been in a lot of mags, but Amazin Amie or Bubbles should have been front and center.

The fact is they have the buzz and the heat. I’ve never gotten a single email requesting Halie, I haven’t seen anyone posting her on Cutie Central and other forums, etc.

So who would you put front and center on the cover?

Note: this is 1 of 2 covers so maybe the other got it right.
