My top african and black models would be:


Alek-exotic.love the ebony skin and cropped hair.plus she has legs for days!


Liya-her look is very elegant..perfect for runway.north.african features
Yasmine-VERY haute couture..elegant and classy..very slim, swan like neck like liya too.
Oluchi-very good for runway..and comercial print is even better.love the dark skin and lips and cheekbones
Jessica white-very all american..shes cute
Jaunel Mckenzie-cant put my finger on ir..she doesnt really have an african look
Naomi-shes a mix of exotic looking and somethin else hard to explain..love h er cheek bones tho.but really how tall is she? ..sometimes she really doesnt look all that tall on the runway or anywhere else for that matter.her sig.hair style has got to go.
gerren taylor--she has that fresh young look she has a baby face

btw: do you guys think a model who has parents of african decent [but the model was born in america]would have african features or what??

i would put their pics up but i dunno how..yet!

30-year-old Saugus woman who has appeared on hundreds of magazine covers as a super model was out on bail today, facing charges for allegedly using other people’s credit cards to buy $10,000 worth of household appliances.
Beverly Peele was arrested on Monday around 7:30 p.m. by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Santa Clarita Station, said sheriff’s Deputy Colin Matsumoto. Peele was booked on suspicion of “use of expired or forged access cards,” Matsumoto said. She was released on $20,000 bail at 7 last night, said sheriff’s Lt. Dianne Walker.
The woman faces two counts of felony grand theft. She is scheduled to appear on Jan. 5 in Newhall Superior Court in Valencia, Matsumoto said.
Peele allegedly found a wallet in a shopping cart and returned it to its owner, who later received billings on her credit card statement for items she did not purchase, sheriff’s Detective John Howard told The Signal newspaper.
