  Just the other day the September 2009 issue of i-D magazine was revealed with models Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, Chanel Iman and Arlenis Sosa on the cover. Yesterday the behind-the-scenes video showed up on the magazine’s website and today the editorial “Thriller” found its way into the forums. The ed. is fly but it’s neat to see the personalities behind the work. Once again if you haven’t read our interview with Sessilee Lopez, you can do so HERE.

  Models Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa (pictured left to right) cover the September 2009 issue of i-D magazine. A few months ago via twitter both Chanel and Sessilee tweeted about a photoshoot from London of epic proportions. Well here it is; the top 4 black models in the industry posing closely together wearing all black against a colorful graffiti background. It’s beautiful that their skin tones are black but behind those tones are multiple nationalities and ethnicites; American, Korean, Portuguese Dominican and British. Also if you haven’t read our interview with Sessilee you can do so HERE.

• I Can Now Put a Tune to the Name

  Lately, I’ve been hearing about Tyga but did not hear any of his material and couldn’t be bothered to search for any. Now, a new track featuring Lil Wayne titled “Lay You Down” just leaked onto the net. While the song doesn’t blow me away I seriously am liking the chill vibe of it with the electric guitar and male vocalist in the background a la Jay-Z’s “History”. This in addition to Weezy adding his element of bravado to finish it up. Give this one a listen.

  Tyga – Lay You Down feat. Lil Wayne

  Last week we featured the May 2009 “Faces of the Moment” Vogue issue. In it they chose six of the models for an editorial with their boyfriends. Tyga was one of the six boyfriends because he is boyfriend to Chanel Iman. I was surprised by this couple and the other couples because you would think these 5’9″ to 6′ tall models would like their men taller but most of them have boyfriends who stand inches below them. Props to those men and their tall ladies.
