TooFly: Lookbook and more!!

Talented young artist TooFly sent me her lookbook last week. The images include both her both her art and product, but just as important, since the shot was directed and styled by her, we get an angle on her vision of the world. Urban magazines and rap videos often feature "round the way girls," but what's refreshing about Toofly's images is how the women in them are sweet, subtle, sexy and so much more complex than the average video ho. And do not get it twisted. I am never against women working for a dollar--no matter how little clothing they're wearing, but simply put, the world would be a better place if more women of color like TooFly were in charge of how their images are put out to the world.
