  3. Vintage Magazines: Hue Cover Girls

    January 7, 2012 by Sonya Denise

    As obviously noted, I have a slight obsession with vintage magazines. Hue is such a rare magazine that there’s not much info out there about it. Copies of this magazine are very scarce as well. A quick search on ebay will reveal zero results. If  something is not readily available on ebay, then you know it’s a rare find. Despite all that, I’ve scoured the end of the internet to bring you a collection of rare Hue cover girls all in one place. This actually took quite a bit of time and research. Feel free to share these wonderful photos, but link to this post. This took months of searching. Enjoy!

    “Hue Magazine was a publication of Johnson Publishing Company. It was a pocket entertainment news magazine published monthly durnig the 1950′s and feature black celebrities and newsmakers. Unlike Jet Magazine, Hue had a back cover and often used it to highlight aspiring actresses and models. The magazine also features a pin-up gallery with lots of photos of pretty girls. “

  5. Vintage New Years

    December 31, 2011 by 16stone

    Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

    It’s funny as I embark on 2012 which I’m sure will be full splendor for me, I can’t help but look to the past for inspiration. Every New Year that begins starts with a look back on the my growth. 2011 was a great year for me. I got engaged to the man of my dreams, quit a  job I hated, and spent quality time with friends and family. This set the tone for what I hope will be an even more enthralling 2012. My resolutions are set high and I’m going in focused and ready to progress further.

  7. Vintage Look Alike: Nichelle Nichols

    December 23, 2011 by 16stone

    For years now, I’ve been stopped on the street by random people to tell me I look like a young Nichelle Nichols. I have friends who have begged me to dress as Uhura for Halloween. Well I think it’s an honor to resemble such a vintage beauty. I met her once at the Comic-Con. I thought to myself, okay this is how I will look in 50 years! Hopefully…

    From wikipedia: Nichelle Nichols (born Grace Dell Nichols; December 28, 1932) is an American actresssinger and voice artist. She sang with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton before turning to acting. Her most famous role is that of communications officer Lieutenant Uhura aboard theUSS Enterprise in the popular Star Trek television series, as well as the succeeding motion pictures, where her character was eventually promoted in Starfleet to the rank of commander.

    I’m pretty sure in my former life I worked as a pin up model. I adore these looks, black pin up girls rock! I’ll be doing another pin up shoot soon, so this is an inspiration post.
