MALACHI Nov 16 05 02:18 pm Link new comers aye provide and Devhora X Nov 16 05 04:50 pm Link urban prospect wrote: Aye rocks! She is the best! Nov 17 05 07:57 am Link Ok thats 2 any others? there are hundreds of beautiful models out there I know it. Nov 17 05 10:48 am Link I nominate Shayuma...she is beautiful and down to earth! Nov 17 05 12:54 pm Link Urban? Do you mean non-white minority? Nov 17 05 01:46 pm Link theda wrote: Woman what is your point??? I posted who I like.

Nov 17 05 08:21 pm Link urban prospect wrote: My point is the euphamism urban is obnoxious. I live in a city; Devhora and Maxine do not, but I suspect I'm not what he had in mind. I gather from the rest of his post, he's trying to say "models of color" or hip-hop style oriented models. Nov 18 05 12:31 am Link good ethnic models, hmmm, I cant think of any, well, maybe one, oh wait, that's me....j/k...lol.....seriously, j/k...... Nov 18 05 02:52 am Link theda wrote: Oh ok.......So do you find the term Urban Fashion obnoxious also? Nov 18 05 03:55 am Link aye provide wrote: Actually, I do find the "alt" designation somewhat obnoxious, however, it bears some resemblance to the actual definition of alternative. Urban means pertaining to a city. I'm standing up for the English language here. Nov 18 05 09:37 am Link veester wrote: Aww thank you Veester! I never really looked at myself as an urban model. But hey, if it gets me work, then I'll be that. Nov 18 05 12:25 pm Link newbie with potential for urban list right here?? Nov 18 05 12:33 pm Link To the OP and Urban Prospect: theda wrote: I think it is a good question. I didn't see it as an attack! If you are looking for non-white minorities, I have favorites, if not, I have some more favorites! No point suggesting white alternative models if that is not what the OP is looking for!

Nov 18 05 08:23 pm Link I'm just curious to know what the definition of an "Urban" model is? I've heard of fashion, runway, plus size, petite, swimsuit, lingerie, glamour, commercial and a couple of others, but never Urban. Just curious. Eric Foltz Nov 18 05 08:30 pm Link i think the modeling market lacks ethnics. Altho its much better now than it was but it still sucks for ethnics. Nov 18 05 09:32 pm Link Hi Eric and Theda, I will try to explain the term as best as I can. The term refers to magazines that represent the HipHop culture and movement. In the past few years magazines have been popping up quite abit representing a view that is more hardcore that people from the Hiphop scene can relate to more. Now Urban magazines does not mean it is Minority owned because for example Latina or Ebony magazines are not considered Urban magazine and I can name some more. Now an Urban model is more of the ideal woman that Men who are into the HipHop scene desire and want. Which is a more shapely woman and is not just models of color because an Urban magazine I had one of my pics in had a white model in the section from 7 models featured. Also BlackMens magazine use white models as well but from time to time. The term Urban is something new to refer to the type of models being used for magazines that represent the HipHop scene like Goth or Gothic models. I can use the Webster meaning for Goth which is something like some German Race that conquered the Romans back in the days but when I hear Goth in the modeling term I think of a light skinned model. Also I have met a few Goth models which were Spanish that seam to fit in the catagory. Anybody can step in and explain better if I have not been clear on the Urban term the way it is being used here in this Thread. Nov 18 05 11:31 pm Link Also one more thing if anyone is interested in I have heard the term Urban refer to a Resistance and movement toward main stream like a voice from the street being heard. When working for Urban mags. Nov 18 05 11:38 pm Link You are hitting the nail on the head.Urban seemed, at least to my old ass, a term that became interchangable with hip hop in the board room. Most people seem to get your point and know that the urban model has a certain look and attitude. Nov 19 05 03:51 am Link Thank you, Mr. Perez! Nov 19 05 04:42 am Link me! Aprille Nov 20 05 05:13 pm Link I was very confused last night; when I was watching Glory, the promos told me that it was an "urban classic". There were very few cities depicted as far as I could tell... But I don't mind the term "urban"--at least in terms of music--as it is the antithesis of "country".  Nov 20 05 05:27 pm Link And to the original poster's credit, "caucasian urban models" are included. Nov 20 05 05:29 pm Link What about me!!! lol..  Nov 20 05 05:41 pm Link Hmmm, I'm thinking this woman I know named Michelle would be perfect for this. Well-read. Well-traveled. She absolutely bleeds sophistication and refinement... ...wait. I'm sorry, I thought this was urbane models. Ooops. Nov 20 05 06:04 pm Link Ok sorry people I have been away from the computer for a minute. lets see if I can help out some. from my perspective I think Robert Perez hit the term as was said right on the head. Now I didnt mean to pit other type models against the urbz I am just interested in seeing who people like best in the now so popular urban magazine and video arena. so this wasnt just a who's hott on MM but a wide search. although I am feelin alot of these suggestions. so I thank you all and keep it goin. also feel free to hit me up. MALACHI Nov 21 05 11:24 am Link To agree with Theda, I did not know what an "urban model" or "urban modeling shoots" were. (horrible; for I am a non-white minority..well actually I'm half white, but since I get "where are you from, or go back where you came from, or are you japanese?" I assume that can not be seen.) Nov 21 05 05:44 pm Link I would say Nicole Ricca.Are we talkin about in general or just on MM. Also I could add myself....lol Nov 21 05 11:24 pm Link interesting thread May 28 06 09:00 am Link Damn, I dont know who any of these names are...I feel so...unblack May 28 06 09:32 am Link Nicole Ricca http://www.nicole-ricca.net Melyssa Ford http://www.melyssafordonline.com Dayana http://www.dayanajamine.com Lashontae http://www.lashontae.com Buffie http://www.buffiethebody.com Tomika SKanes http://www.tomikaskanes.com Glenn Twins http://www.glenntwins.com Ki Toy http://www.kitoyjohnson.net Esther Baxter Nancy Ermina http://www.nancye.com Tiara Xclusive http://www.tiaraxclusive.com Elke the Stallion Akira Cross ok thats all I can think of for the moment May 28 06 08:28 pm Link Me!!
