Santa, I’ve been as good as I could. So my holiday pimp, these are 10 things I want for Xmas. Check it out and tell me what ya think.
- Blackmen Magazine stops printing on the cheap and trades up to better copy. Those pages look thick and slick until you look at them close. They got more fibers than recycled hemp and weird ink errors. If you ain’t going to use good thick paper stick to normal magazine stock.
- King Magazine stop trying to be the Black Maxim and get back in the game. Come on, how many must have spreads did King have this year? Hell, they got beat out by their brother mag on Angel in the same month.
- Show Magazine, ease up on the airbrushing. We like your slick look but we miss the detail like in Issue 2. Slick is cool, glossy is too much. The fashion mags airbrush without losing skin detail, come one we know you can do it.
- SI, put Carla Campbell on the cover. We’ve seen enough blonde, stick thin German bimbos. Beyonce don’t count, she’s a celeb. You haven’t had color on your mag since the 90’s and Tyra was hot, but Carla is hotter. Just do it.
- Urban magazines start doing outdoor shoots and spreads with natural lighting. 2007 the dark room with the spotlight, high contrast thing was done to death.
- More photographers. Charlie Langella is cool but he ain’t the only photographer out there. Let’s see some more Udo, Garth and some names we ain’t seen before.
- Olivia Watts comes back to urban modeling.
- Meagan Good does at least two or three good covers and features in 2008.
- Ads that actually generate bank rather than just fugging up my site.
So what did you ask for?

I’m feeling you on the Show Magazine overkill tip…I need Smooth or Blackmen’s Swimsuit to put Shillae Anderson or Katy Tangui back out there…remember them?
hahaha, touche’!
agree 100
Soooooooo right about Show magazine … that bugs me.
I have a site where I do wallpapers and Lola Luv was requested. I hadn’t heard of her and imagine my surprise when I found her on your site. DAMN! These women are something I’ve been missing out on. I used several of the pics on your site for some new wallpapers and added a post with a link back to your site. I hope you don’t mind. Please fill free to use them as you like on your blog. Thanks, D-Mack

D-Mack, that’s cool. Thankx for the link. Ya, you can use anything here for wallpapers and other things. All I ask if you are not going to use it for a design, just posting the picture, that it not be cropped, resized or modified and a link is alwayz appreciated.
Some cool paperz. The Miesha is on point.
BlackJack I agree with the overuse of airbrushing in show magazine. make the models kinda look like their glowing or 3D plastic looking. They dont seem to know wtf they are really doing.
Keep brangin the funk tho fam.
What I want for christmas is Aundre’a McMurray. If I can’t get her, I’ll settle for some pictures or a spread on your website!!!
More Stacey Dash and KD Aubert scans and I’m set lol.
