ooh these are really nice actually. not at first glance, but i like these. especially the parrot one, the leopard print umbrella, her holding the gorilla (so cuteee), and the cheetah on the leash. maybe i'm just a sucker for animals

i don't get it. they couldn't use an african for african appeal? this girl is boring me to tears.

All the people in africa who are not ethnically "african" can't have any african appeal?


I understand if you think she's boring, but to base it off of ethnicity is kind of lousy, I think. I've seen models of various ethnicities do this type of shoot, some of them who looked more "african" were just as boring or exciting as any other group.


In short... lame reasoning. Really lame.

You're either disingenuous or remarkably ignorant. "They couldn't use an african for african appeal?" is a wholly legitimate response to this shoot. Your attempt to equivocate is what's "really lame."

She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn a teensy bit.

I like these but her jaw is just way to wide
her head is like a square

weren't these just posted? or is there an elephant trend going on
regardless the model's head looks rather like a cube, i don't like it

Love these, the colour ones and the antique ones both work really well. The animal ones are sooo cute, but not the leopard one. Either she has a leopard on a leash [ :O ] or it's a stuffed leopard [ :O ].

Also, I think 'Africa Appeal' is rather vague. Africa is a bloody big place - too many people call it a country when in fact it is a huge continent. Surely cultures and looks differ in different countries, even regions in countries, so I'd prefer if it referred to a more specific place. Maybe I'm just being a bit touchy though.

I love the shots with animals, they have the varied emotion she lacks.
