Cute pics from ESSENCE magazine!!!
She's so hot for a black chick (not that I'm racist, my GF is asian) but I just don't seem to find the many black women attractive. I think it's a coin toss between her and Tyra Banks.
Beautiful even in black and white and without makeup!!!
Not crazy about the hair here but...
