Change is essential to business.   The ability to adapt to change is critical to the success of a business.  The journey that urban modeling has taken is topic of lots and lots of conversation, both from within the industry as well as from consumers.  At times it does seem very bleak, and it’s common that there is speculation of promiscuity, deception and just outright lying from all facets of the spectrum.  The truth of the matter is, our business is no different from any other business that incorporates both sexes in the workplace.  There are going to be people who do the right thing, and there are going to be people that do the wrong thing.  By and large, it seems that the former outweighs the latter, but I’m resolved that there are still credible people out there with a real intent to make this a real business.

I set out over 10 years ago to create a business that would help both the people I worked with as well as myself to earn a decent living, and I am sure that I’ve accomplished my goal in that regard, however the ongoing challenges of continuation and maintaining continue to be a heavier weight than it sometimes seems fair.  I am resolved however to keep doing what I’ve done, and the personnel that work with me follow the same model.  It’s far more advantageous for me to dig down deep, work and fly low off the radar than to engage in frivolities that ultimately take me off the path of the goal, and that’s to continuously nurture something that has longevity far after I’m gone.  The changes that contiue to assail are not going to leave you, regardless of what you’re choosing to do in life.  Embrace them, conquer them and surpass them.  This is what we do.

We’ve begun a series of updates that will take us well into October as we begin to feature models from the June 2009 trip to London England, courtesy of Femelle Studios and Butterfly models.  Our solidarity will unquestionably be strengthened as time moves on, and in the process, you’re about to really enjoy some of the sexiness that the UK has been hiding for years and years.   Change is good people, make no mistake about it.

By the way, congratulations to SummerBunny Maliah Michel, the new Smooth Magazine “No She Didn’t” girl.
