Playtime w/ Celebs: Tocarra (courtesy of Derek Blanks) Edition

since we're talking about Steph Jones and Fashion (huh, what...i don't see no steph jones and i don't see no fashion. *sigh* scroll down...carry on), it couldn't be more fitting to have a playtime with celebs: Tocarra (Ft. Steph Jones) for Derek Blanks.

Lets take a look at the shoot:



















Now don't get me wrong, i like tocarra. she was definitely a fave on ANTM. Derek blanks...well, he's ok. i thought the alter ego shoot was cool, like 3 yrs ago. but to me, as a fine arts graduate, his photos lack substance and depth. they all have a familiar ghetto fab-ness to them.

in this photo shoot Derek didn't let me down. he had tocarra reading on the floor in an evening gown and trench coat (complete with the designer label shopping bag placement). he had Tocarra give close up glam. he had tocarra play the JCPenny's model role. i mean he had her doing all the "My first photoshoot" poses and placements...tyra would not approve.

To me (my opnions) this looks very amateur and Derek Blanks is supposed to be the uber professional. Tocarra too...i blame you as well. you know better, you were taught better.

I'm not going to go in on the locale of the shoot but i will offer a suggestion on wardrobe and makeup. i mean what would Playtime w/ Celebs be without MY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

Stay tuned...
