Description
Honoring a request as promised~!This is one of the pics from my last little photo shoot. And since I'm REALLY hard on myself and truly my own harshest critic, this is one of the few pics that I still like. There are one or two more, but BLAH I say, lol!!
Will I ever do another photo shoot? Meh, only time will tell. Got to get a lot of other stuff in my life together first. I think I'm actually far too shy to really model like I've always wanted to.
Besides, I've lost quite a bit of weight since I took this one, so once I get the body I want (and it will happen!!!! 
) that might boost my confidence enough for me to get in front of the camera again. Honestly, though, looking back, I felt really good about myself during this time period-- like a fierce-ass sexpot!I might post another one... But knowing me, it's likely that I won't... so I hope you enjoy~!

This is inspirational stuff. It's so rare to find beautiful women of color doing modeling work on this site, or at least I have trouble finding them. I'd love to see more like this.

Oh yeah see now I can't wait! You are just to awesome! Before I forget great job with the color work. Did you use a lot of dodge and burn for the shadows? Just testing my photoshop eye. Would you mind spicing up some of my black and whites on here? Nothing like colab work to keep the fire going.

I appreciate that kindly 
Between working on stuff for your boy, two of my dA friends, and trying to get my comic book up to snuff, (plus 3 other pics in queue) I'm terribly swamped

Sorry for the late reply. I need to get on this site more. You did a great job with the colors. It fooled my eye and that is not easy to do. I am loving everything you put out there. Thanks for the comp. I have been away for a long time and still have lots of rust to knock off. No rush on doing one of my pics. I know you are tied up right now. Besides now that I think about it I would rather you did a new pic and since I have to do one based on your character then it would be better to wait on that one. By then you will either be caught up or swampped with more request cause you are awesome.

If you don't mind cleaning ovens then Delissio will save you money because it's a grocery store product and not from a fast food outlet.

Okay, now that I've gathered myself... DAYUM!!!
Wow, you really look great here. It's a nice shot. The look on your face really sets it off and the pose is nice and sexy while at the same time absolutely tasteful. You make nice shapes
My only complaint (a minor one) is that it's cropped a tad bit tight. Cutting off the top of your head and your toes shortens the composition and takes away some of the elegance of the pose. The image feels a little more crowded and heavy than it would otherwise. It's still hot though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I totally see what you mean with the cropping. If I ever get up the boldness to try at another portfolio, I'll be more watchful of the proof pictures!

It was more of a lucky shot.
I wish I coulda got it twice with the same effect & all of the things you pointed out.
This is one of my favorites out of the bunch though.... & I actually thought about posting some on my page to show off my camera skills.

*falleth upon the floor half dead from thine mini-soliloquy*
I really appreciate the kind words, though. Besides, my dude is nowhere near the jealous type-- he seems to take it as more of a compliment than I do.
JUBBLIES! BIG BOPPIN' OOBLY-OOBLIES!! SWEATER MEAT! NIPPLE BACKSTOPS! SAGA MELONS! JUGGIE PIES!!

Hark, hark! The fairest maiden hath falleth upon the floor with only half of her life! I must fetcheth her a goblet full of water! But not first with gazing apon yon bosoms! Bippity-boppity bippity-boopity!
I too, am touched in the head, so you're in great company!
No prob on the kind words...I've always taken the stance on that if a woman looks good, or if they've something noteworthy to enhance their looks (get hair done/cut, wear a flattering blouse, etc) then they should at least receive an encouraging and appreciative comment for it! And I gotcha with your guy...it should be a compliment for him whenever someone compliments you, as you are with him!
Sweater meat!!!!

*Taketh a sip from yon goblet as rim is placed betwixt her lips* Wait a minute... is that a PIMP CUP?! Is that freakin' Crunk Juice in that Pimp Cup?!?!
I'm glad there are still some gentlemen out there who don't mind giving a girl a nice compliment every once in a while! You set a shining example that some guys should look into following!
I might have to use that "Knocker Whoppers", dude! I heard a comedian call them "Boom-stankums"... I almost died with laughter when I first heard that, cuz he was like, dead-ass serious with it! Aside from that, I looked up the term 'bewb' on Urban Dictionary and I just had to leave the page. That was so hilarious! But I think Dave Chappelle's 'Tron' character took the cake, on the Real Mad World episode. You know what I'm talkin' about, lol!

*Getting ever so Crunketh with thine Pimp Cup full of the Juice of Crunk*
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH shawty YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! OOOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! WHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!"
"Boom-stankums"?
As for the gentlemen thing...meh...I call it my gift and my curse. It works, yet at the same time it doesn't work; sure girls love to receive nice compliments and such and females love me...as a FRIEND only...and we all know that once a guy has been relegated to the "Friend Zone" then that's all he'll ever be, JUST A FRIEND to quote Mr. Biz Markie. It's the guys that don't compliment and treat the gals like shit that are the ones that actually end up with those same girls....it's not a challenge for a woman to get a guy that's already giving them compliments and such; most women already figure that they've got him. But take a dude that is quick to insult the girl rather than compliment her, then she's thrown off of her game and wonders why didn't this guy compliment her thus making her try harder to win him over...of course the dude (if he knows what he's doing) is playing it cool as not to come off desperate and just doing this to bait the girl until he has her. Then that gal will come back to her "guy that's just a friend" that complimented her only to brag about her new "boyfriend." Go figure...
Sure I could set an example...but other than from a moral standpoint it wouldn't really be a shining example. Females like assholes...point blank period. And whenever I say that the reply is ALMOST ALWAYS something along the lines of "That's not true...I like nice guys!" yet many times the guys that they are attracted to are indeed the assholes, jerks, thugs, bad boys, etc...call them what you will. I find it even more fucked up on how society teaches you from a young age to be nice and courteous to others, plus I was raised to be a nice, courteous, and respectable Southern Gentleman (especially to women) and now that I'm older come to find out that niceness and kindness are seen as weaknesses in our society as a whole...sometimes even looked down upon where people who are assholes and bitches are praised for being that way. 
I call it the "forbidden fruit theory"...I came up with this theory thinking about way back in the Bible, where God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil...initially, Adam stayed away. Eve, on the other hand, was talked into doing something by Satan (the Baddest Boy of them all and the gulliest of all thugs) in the form of a serpent, that she was given a direct order from God Himself not to partake of. He (Satan) started spitting that slick shit in her ear, and she just had to have the fruit. And even worse, she took it to Adam, and he ate it...condemning mankind to not having the luxury of frolicking around naked all day! 
The same applies with many women nowadays...contrary to popular belief, THERE ARE PLENTY OF GOOD SINGLE MEN OUT THERE (I'm one of them! I'm a little on the broke side, but work with me here!), despite what many women say about most of them being gay or married. (Especially here in ATL...sure there's a lot of gay dudes here, but from what I've seen the average woman here is just overly picky!
And everything else usually has to deal with money/material possessions somehow...which I don't have. But that's a can of worms for another day!
I'm sorry that I broke out into a full dissertation on why women like bad boys/thugs (reading this comment counts as college credit at Clark! 
Sorry to talk your ear off Kami!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob on that dissertation, just trust me when I say that females get the short end of that stick, too!
I've witnessed a lot of guys who say they want a good chick... to stay at home waiting on them while the guy is out running in the street collecting more chicks for GOD-knows-what. I even mistakenly befriended some married guys who are the same way, and it's uncomfortable for me to even hang out with them, because I know they're married and see them collecting all these phone numbers. All I could ask is 'dude, if you're married, why are you still hollering at all these girls?' One's answer? He wasn't getting what he 'needed' at home and just wanted something to play with. I asked him how he would feel if his wife was out doing that exact same thing, and he quickly hollered 'that bitch had better not cheat on me!'(<-- I noticed that a LOT of these cheater types say that same crap!) UGH! Needless to say, I'm no longer friends with that ass because he didn't appreciate or respect his wife, child, marriage, nor himself. (The last thing I wanted was to be hanging out with him and some other friends and be an innocent bystander on Cheaters-- I'll whup a broad's ass, ask questions later, lol.) Besides, if you can't respect yourself, you can't respect me, and that, my friend, is a serious no-no! Since then, I refuse to befriend a married guy unless I'm able to get in cool with his wife.
I've also noticed what you've pontificated regarding the 'forbidden fruit' complex. A lot of females will never admit that they want a fixer-upper guy, someone to reform and change and showcase to the world that they did it, I have witnessed it. Just like you can't turn a hoe into a housewife, you can't turn a bad-boy into an upright husband. So many people get caught up in the relationship 'game' that they neglect to get to know themselves and what they want in a relationship that would make them happy. People make that stupid mistake of trying to change the person they're dating into what they want that person to be, instead of appreciating and accepting them for who they are. And let's not forget those poor delusional people who thrive on drama-- a lot of folks are guilty of this, but wouldn't admit it if you put a gun to their head. And if they can't get that drama, they will do whatever they can to create it, and I try to avoid those folks like the plague, I'll tell ya whut.
I, too, was raised to treat other right and to be a nice and kind person, and have been endlessly taken advantage of for it, and because of my forgiving nature, I've had the mispleasure of staying in the presence of 'Habitual Line Crossers'. It takes a very strong person to continue to be kind, to not be hardened by the BS that bitches and assholes are ALWAYS doling out. I'd rather be in the company of kind people than B's and A's any day. For a person to just be a B or an A all the damn time shows a real lack of character. Some people who secretly envy these people are the ones who make them popular. Seriously, being a dick is the easy way out. It takes much more strength of character to be kind and work endlessly to get the respect that douchebags seem to get without even trying. 'An empty wagon makes a lot of noise', I remember my mom telling me when I was in 3rd grade. I was nice and kind and quiet but never really got any attention because the ass-bags were always getting it, and I didn't understand that at the time. Give me substance over BS any day, I say. People who praise assholes for their laziness and weakness of character are no better than the ones they praise. Kuff em.
As for the average woman being overly picky... man... pickings are slim, especially in places where everyone is trying to be the same and trying to live this trumped-up wannabe baller lifestyle. Not to mention a lot of people don't sincerely seem to take the time to get to know themselves and what they really want. Seems to me that so many are just trying to hook-up and hop in the sack, get one good whipping and fall in love for all the wrong reasons. There are selfish people out there who only care about what they want with no regard for the people they're hurting in the process. You can only look at them and get away quick, being thankful that you saw this about them before you got too involved.
I'm sorry the dating scene hasn't been good to you, but trust me, as long as I've been 'dating' it's been more nightmarish than anything. Enjoy yourself and everything else will fall in place. If I could turn back time I would have avoided all the assholes and just spent that time on me. A lot of other women I've known have experienced a lot of the same, it gets tiresome. Some women go to other women, and others just try to step their expectations up and but neglect to balance it with the necessary realism. I've known girls who made lists of everything they wanted in a man from his grade of hair to the way his toenails look, and wonder why they don't find it-- but what about how the man treats them? This is a sadly materialistic and vain society that puts more emphasis on what a person looks like outside and what's in their wallet vs the content of their character. It's rough.
I think you're a really sweet guy and I hope that you find that special lady for whom you're looking. Don't get discouraged, though, I'm sure you'd rather take the time to find the right person instead of getting caught up with the wrong person who'll waste years of your life and leave you feeling perpetually unhappy. I will keep you in my prayers and in the meantime, you just take it easy! Everything will work out for you!
Sorry for this damn thesis I just typed-- but trust me, I totally understand everywhere you're coming from!

Hey Kami....sorry it took me soooooo long to reply, but here it is!!!
I can imagine that this whole thing of relationships and such is one big clusterfuck and a two way street. Of course from the single guy's POV that can't get some of these gals out here to give me the time b/c they're so stuck up and see themselves above a guy like me I see it as one way...and on the flipside I know that you as a female that's probably used to being hollered at by all sorts of scummy creeps and sleazebags either with wives/girls at home or just cats that don't have anything going for their lives see things through a different lens than I do. However, that's always baffled me about the difference between men and women in this situation (I guess not you so much in this example, being that you have a boyfriend) many women say that there aren't any good men out there and such but at the same time there are many guys like myself that aren't creepy losers with wives at home that can't get a look from some of these thug/baller/pro athlete/money chasing high maintenance gimmie girls out there.
I realize that not every woman that says that she's looking for a good man is a catch herself, and there are some dudes that don't get any play from the ladies for a reason (hell, I might just be one of those cats) but it reminds me of ships passing in the night..."good men" and "good women" are looking for one another, but can't seem to find each other.
And I feel you on the dudes that cheat on their wives/girls at home. But in the spirit of what I mentioned above about being a two-way street, there are gals out there that do that to. From what I've been told, when a woman is asked if she has a boyfriend or someone and her reply is something like, "Kinda...but it's nothing special." or something along the lines to that means that yes, she indeed has someone that's occupying her heart...whether she's head over heels for him, or just with him for convenience of not being single. (Plus, I've learned on my own that with females, "No" means "Definitely Not", "Maybe" or "Kinda" means "Yes", and "Yes" means "Hell Yeah!!!") There are gals that are quick to cheat on their dude and justify it by, "Well, he's cheating on me!" That's fucked up...why are they together if they're only gonna cheat on one another? 
Speaking on the "Forbidden Fruit" complex, I'm with you on your thoughts and opinions on many women not admitting that they want a fixer-upper guy. I've heard that so many times that women want to be the one to tame the thug/bad boy...only thing is they won't want him anymore if he does change. There are some guys out that that try to be Captain Save-A-Ho too...there was this one gal that I messed with a few years ago that I tried to crack her super-hard shell of her being a wild gal; I had seen her drop her guard and she wasn't the wild bad girl/ex-stripper that she carried herself as...she was a sweet girl underneath. Or at least I thought. She may have actually showed me her soft side, but she may have also just been feeding me a bunch of bull just so she could get what she wanted from me...which usually was free food and liquor. But in the end, she remained the same scorned wild bad girl and she shattered my world quite a bit from taking advantage of my kindness over and over again...I lost friends and even had to go to counseling over her instead of heeding the obvious red flags that I saw from the beginning. I didn't get with her for the sole intent of trying to bring that sweet side out more or trying to change her, but I was hoping that she would drop her guard and let that side out more, as I liked her with her flaws and all...nope.
And amen on what you said about the drama queens...I don't need that crap in my life! That's exactly why I had to get the hell out of my cousin's house earlier this year...her boyfriend was a sissy ass drama queen that always had something to whine to me about. It's funny how my current roommate is a female, and not once have I had to deal with her whining or creating drama. Those drama seekers need a hard swift kick in the ass!
Amen again to what you said about being raised to respect others and such. It's kinda sickening to think that character traits such as kindness, friendliness, and manners are looked down upon in a major way. You're right...those people that think that everything that being an asshole or mean or whatever is a respectable trait are shallow selfish people. It takes a strong person to show emotions of caring and compassion...any person can act callous and mean and trample on the feelings and emotions of others, but I'm sure that those folks are empty on the inside. It does indeed suck at times being "the Nice Guy" for that simple fact that you do get those "Habitual Line Crossers" that like to take advantage of your kindness, but I guess it comes with the territory. I call it "my gift and my curse".
As for me and the dating scene...it's all good. When I hear all of the stories of friends of mine and the drama and other bullshit that they go through, it makes me glad at times that I don't have to deal with unnecessary drama in my life. I don't have any strings attached to me...if I want to spend all of my free time drawing, playing video games, or doing whatever, I don't have to answer to a gal begging for my attention!
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement Kami, as well as ready my long ass comments!
