Vixens #196 - #201: Angel Melaku - “Angel Cake”

Nov 27th 2007 | 34 Comments| respond| trackback|

My email box has been getting flooded with requests for this since before Thanksgiving. Trust me, if I had it in my hands earlier it would have been done. Looks like Angel is trying to make a jump with movie roles and switching her name back to Melaku.

This was a cool set but in my view King missed greatness by two.

One, when the two best images aren’t full page photos an editor is smok’n something.

Two, the photographer needs to either find the focus ring on his lens or wear his contacts when shooting. Focus isn’t just an attitude.

Enjoy.

Nice work. I put in a request for these over at Cutie Central. You know you’re becoming the standard when people are waiting on your scans before they download others, lol. Great work.

Nice quality on the scans, she is one of the ladies out currently that I think is getting over exposed. I wish that the magazines would spread out the ladies they feature but it seems like a follow the leader mentality. A couple of years ago it was Esther (who I think has the best photo spreads out), last year and this one Coco and Angel are the belles of the ball. I thought that Bria Myles was going to blow up but it seems that she has stalled. Of course these are not outcomes that the models themselves can control.

Thanks for this, bro. It’s funny because YM took King to task over this issue and then did a better spread since Angel is their Eye Candy of the Year (wow - what a stretch there…). Basically he had the same thoughts on the matter that you did.

This woman is too fine and too much on her grind to not give her a proper shoot. King should’ve and could’ve bought more to the table with this shoot.

terxav - I completely agree with you about Bria Myles. She definitely deserved first place in 2007.

Ya reading my brain? I was thinking of doing a Bria set next.
SladeWilson, King did one thing right, natural light. Urban mags have over done the high contrast photos, shots lit by spot lights. Its time for some shoots with natural light, outdoors, etc.

[Reply]
At 2007.11.28 18:15, sladewilson said:

True enough about the natural light. The high quality mags have already been doing it and it’s time to step up. The reason I’m hard on King is the same reason YM stated in his editorial - they have the chance to be on a page with Maxim, FHM, etc. They can lead the pack and they’re slippin’.

As for Bria - it’s past time - she is sooo fine, it’s ridiculous. Then again, I’m hooked on Sharon Leal so bad right now it’s criminal. Went and saw “This Christmas” and just stared at her - her hubby is one lucky dude.

She was born on October 25, 1972, hailing from NW Washington, DC. She has appeared in many videos such as “Hands Up” & “Cake” by Lloyd Banks, “I Know You Want Me” by Young Buck, “I Luv It” & “I Need A G” by Young Jeezy, “In The Ghetto” by Busta Rhymes, “Wonder Woman” by Trey Songz, “Give It Up” by Twista, “I Get Money” by 50 Cent, and most recently “Good Life” by Kanye West. Like all hip hop models, Angel is usually seen wearing skimpy clothes that put her curves on full display. Angel has her eyes set on acting where she will be debuting in the new Wendy Williams biography movie playing the mistress set to hit big screens May 2008. Expect to see more videos, calendars, magazines spreads, and appearances from this slanted eye bodyful beauty come the end of this year and ‘08.

Angel has been labeled the new “It” girl of 07’ by many industry insiders, magazines, artist, and celebrities with her crazy measurements of 34D-22-40. Standing at five foot six, Angel has graced magazine spreads such as King, BlackMen, XXL, Hustlenomics, and Smooth.

Angel got her first big break when she appeared as the principle solo model in the Trey Songz “Wonder Woman” video towards the end she showcased her curvaceous frame. It was after that video insiders, fans, and peers labeled her “Ms. Wonder Woman”. An increase in her bustline has sparked rumors that Angel has undergone cosmetic surgery, a claim which the video vixen vehemently denies.

angel you have an amazing posture but u are not much beautiful than our ethiopian sexy girls. besides this u are not proud of being an ethiopian girl, being ethiopian is an expression of proud but not shame b/c of this you have to call ethiopia any where u go.
