beautiful and kinky...part 2 of 2

heritage's mark...

revisiting the beauty of Trinette and the vision of Chi-Rue99.



Trinette and Chi-Rue99 captures continue in this momentary homage to family. Along with the rest of their extraordinary captures Trinette's form and beauty is the elaborate personal family tree that decorates her back.



A lovely tree made of the linage of generations of Trinette's family is captured expertly by Chi's lens, portraying these marks on form artitstically and sensually.

Antiquity LaShay

Antiquity is back on the bridge again. One must realize that although you have burned one bridge doesn't mean you can't build another somewhere else. As the sun embraces her, she recognizes that her possibilities are endless. Her future is as beautiful as the 5 o' clock sun and she must embrace it. She stands beautifully exuberating strength and prosperity. She knows that God has her best interest at heart and would never give her more than she can bear. With humility, strength, confidence, and faith she sets foot on the bridge again toward success.



Antiquity: normally used to describe something ancient, but in Keyona's case she is something of sentimental and great value.


A beauiful contribution to this world.


Antiquity LaShay is styled in the original works of Tara Baker of Hands Create Texture. You can see more of her works here. Antiquity is a creative spirit of many talents. Check here for more creations.

"a moment with the uniquely beautiful and terribly kinky..."

That's the mantra behind the works created by Chi-Rue99 Photography and Trinette the model. This set of images is the first of a two part set.

a pictorial moment with Nerissa...

the words of the Imperial Goddess...

"My main goal is to live life to my best ability, just to be happy, and feel happy about what I become in the future."

"I let Got take my life in his hands... Whatever he has in store for me, thats what I will become. I don't set goals, because you live your life trying to fulfill those goals and by doing that you let so many opportunities pass you by."

"Don't be afraid to change coarse, do it passionately and you'll find your way."

"I display my natural crown for all to see."

Nerissa images are ubiquitous. Her lovely LONG locs and beautiful almond eyes have graced the pages of Playboy and she has landed small acting roles. For more images and insight into the Imperial Goddess check out her MySpace Page. It is a work of art.

Late Night Photos

I took these pics late one night after a shoot with my friend Kelechi. We collaborated on a shoot and afterwards he took a few shots of me. I was so tired. It was nearly midnight!








He still managed to work his photoshop genius on some of them.










All photos were taken by Kelechi Anusiem!

We have been busy!!!!

So it seemed like the right time to relax a little and have our very first offline gathering...

A bunch of us checking out the our creations on the web!


Every time I meet with someone about the Project there's never more than 4 people in room. Even though there have been so many who have expressed interests, provided provocative commentary, striking images and beautiful poetry, still we've always congregated in small groups here and there...

Tamara Natalie Madden - Artist and Photographer

Its my fault really. I am a shy person by nature (even though nobody believes it) and this started out as me wanting to create images and share thoughts on women of colour and their natural beauty. I like to talk a lot (which is why nobody thinks I am shy) so I really enjoyed finding out other thoughts, visions and perceptions on the subject. And while I know nearly everyone who has contributed thought and vision to the Project, it was still very exciting having so many of us in the same room.

Thrasher - Animator and Model, we tossed around a few ideas about an upcoming project in the Garden


Coco - an Upcoming EarthSista in the Garden


LeiCole - Poet and Editorial Contributor

I hope to do it again soon. I hope we can host or sponsor events that exalt Afrocentric beauty and sensuality offline the same we do it online: in the form celebration. I hope we get the chance to participate in offline events all over the country. Most of all, I hope we get the chance to have as much fun together offline as we do online.

John Washington Jr & friend - John is a talented photographer who provided his studio for the event


L-to-R: LeiCole, Nobella and Amber, tossing around ideas


Ernest McClendon, cartoonist working on a project for the Garden


Nobella and Amber


Andre and Omar-RepJA in the House!

Great fun was had by all!


Personally, I'd love to meet each and every one of you.

Peace.

a moment on the bridge with Keyona...

captures on a bridge...





This young poet, hip hop rapper and student is on that path of self discovery. She is on the bridge. Searching for truths in balance, responsibility and creativity, Keyona studies marketing during the day, makes money as a loctician when she can and spits verse to music when she's free. Raised on the west side of Baltimore, she, now, attends college at ClarkAtlanta.


Keyona is hardworking, innovative and creative. In her eyes you see her searching, doing what it takes to get to what's next. Her future, though not sure, is filled to the brim with promise. Keyona is the one you don't worry about. She's the one who always steps up. Keyona is the one who is never afraid to cross the bridge.


Keyona inspires.

Keyona rap is fierce, belying her gentle nature. Check it out on her MySpace page.
