KKNTM: Screensaver Material

Model: Fantasia Barrino

Photographer: Derek Blanks

KKNTM: ATLien MiChelle James

      I likes to see a female who doesn't simply rely on her looks to get her to the top because at the end of the day, you gone need something to back up that face and body! Apparently MiChelle understands this philosophy as well. A recent graduate from the Clark-Atlanta University's School of Business Administration (Marketing), Miss James is currently pursuing various ventures within the modeling industry. But don't get it twisted; you can find this INDEPENDENT young lady overseeing the Guest Service Department at the beautiful Granada Suites Hotel located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta's thriving Arts District.

      Recently, MiChelle finished up a solo shoot (pictured above) with the infamous and talented photographer, Derek Blanks (whose clients range from Beyonce and Usher to Sanaa Lathan

and Boris Kodjoe). While MiChelle may be a bit short for the runways of Milan (she currently registers at 5'5), this pic to the right tells me that home girl is definitely a shoe in for the girl on a "Dark and Lovely" box, ALL DAY (cause those tresses are taking me higher)! This young woman is beautiful inside and out and is pursuing her dreams while being logical and preparing herself for the world who is all too flooded with pretty girls with next to nothing else. Miss James has her head screwed on tight, a plan and is making her way slowly but surely! She definitely gets two well-manicured thumbs up from KK! Make sure you check out Michelle James on her Facebook for more pics!

KKNTM: North Cacky-Lacky's own, Vee Wess

KK'ers, we've found her: KK's Next Top Model! This southern belle, 

originally from NC, is definitely about to tip the scales of the industry whether it be modeling or acting! Vee Wess recently starred in the BLACKbuster hit, "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" as well as a couple of independent films, including “For Thy Love” starring Tray Chaney of HBO’s The Wire. Vee's beauty and awe-spiring personality has led her to several modeling opportunities, featured roles, and promotional gigs. You may remember seeing Miss Wess in Trey Songz “Gotta Make It” or J. Holiday’s “Be With Me.”

Seems Ms. Wess took a lil' hiatus from the big screen after her role in Perry's film, and is currently wrapping up on her Axe Boost Campaign tour and will soon head to the Gulf Coast to start work on 

a new campaign with the Miller Lite company. Our girls a hard-worker too! And for my fellow male KK'ers, Vee's measurements definitely add up coming in at 34-26-36...but don't look too hard! Vee is happily married although, I don't think her man minds the fans at all!

This North Carolina A & T alumni is definitely reppin' NC to the fullest!! You can see more of Vee Wess on her website or her Myspace page. Look out for this one, because she came ready to play!
