nanafia1

THESE PEOPLE REALLY DONT KNOW WHICH COLOURS TO USE FOR DARK SKIN WOMEN. SHE LOOKS LIKE A CLOWN WITH THAT LIPSTICK. HER SKIN IS NICE AND I'M A DARK SKIN PERSON MYSELF, HOWEVER I DONT THINK SHE'S PRETTY. JUST MY OPINION


cangel

She's a very nice in person,as well.Nice pics



ladytee35

Modern day Grace Jones. I love Alek and all but the makeup artist sucks bright red lipstick on any black woman (along with purple) is not CUTE! They making her look like the hamburgler!


mayahotblaze

SHE HAS SOME NICE SKIN.


SimpLee05

i think she looks unique..


mkef9779

No no no no no! This chick does not look like a model tat tall! Do i look programmed? She's different yes! But, there are other way good looking home-born Africans...oh no!


711

She is very beautiful!!!! All NATURALLE!!!!!


almasez

I'm the first one to scream about the fashion industry needing a better representation of dark skinned models, but I think Ms. Wek is waaay overrated. I've seen tall lean and beautiful African girls walking down the street in Manhattan that could put her to shame.


NinaDaDiva

Her dark skin is beautiful. Love that she continues to represent.


77Born

Love, Love, Love Alek..She's truly a Queen! Beautiful person inside and out! We should take care of our skin & health like her!


jluv2009

She's a beauty, i love her even skin tone but, i'm not feeling that bright red lipstick at all.


msshawty31

flawless. uhm, 77Born, out of curiosity, why that photo?


SLiMThiCKY

super smooth skin


lezmiranda

Why they didn't show those dark and lovely LONG ass legs she has....?? Her gams are out of this world! Rock on, Black Beauty! I'll be workin on my "tan" as soon as Jersey can get some damn sun!


queen_pin

she is so pretty i like to see her she moves so racefully and she just know she is the ish


She_So_Fly

Why do I feel that MTO was not being sincere, but rather posting this schitt as a means to start a light skin/dark skin, pretty/ugly debate?

Ya'll ain't slick MTO....I see right through ya'll punks!


chicagofinest1

HER SKIN IS AN EVEN TONE!! SHE'S TOO DARK FOR THAT RED AZZ LIPSTICK!!! SHE A NATURAL BEAUTY FOR FULL BLOODED AFRICANS!! FARS AS AFRICAN AMERICAN SHE'S NOT!!!



cocoashoppers

She is a very sweet girl and beautiful as well. Wow, she doesn't need foundation! Beautiful skin!


MissTakella

Her look is original...she depicts the image of a strong beautiful black woman. I love how she carries herself too! **take notes**


trixie

SHE IS UNIQUELY BEAUTIFUL SO UNTOUCHED TRUE NATURAL NUBIAN SISTER MOCHA CHOCOLATE.


almasez

@she_so_fly

i suspect u are probably right.


CBSR

I am sorry she is not pretty. You will not make me believe that this is what African beauty is sorry not gonna do it .


2sexy4sho2

ShoeGoddess

Tika90

CBSR Flag post I am sorry she is not pretty. You will not make me believe that this is what African beauty is sorry not gonna do it .

No one really asked you to, now did they????


hellokitty19131

i still want one of her bags! Wek1933


HersheyDiva

@tjtrae1 - yeah we know you was being sincere.


jerzeethicknez

@She_So_Fly- you are absolutely right!

@Tika90- And so are you...let the ignorance begin.

@Topic- MTO purposely blew the pictures up close just to get a rise out of people. I think she is beautiful and her skin is flawless. I swear somebody should put MTO out of business.



harajukuchic19

no disrespect but uh... she is so not pretty... i think we tend to over rate people who are "unique" don't get me wrong her skin is absurdly beautiful and flawless... however.. she is not beautiful. just sayin...


CBSR

Tika90, yes the media is telling me this is what African beauty is, I love Dark Skin women, Trust me had plenty of them My first was her complexion. I am just saying I will not fall for that subliminal message that the media is sending with her.


misscaramelvanilla

i like her dark skin and all but uhm this chick aint cute worth a damn


Mister_Meaner

Hmmmm...(I shall not speaketh on this matter)) lol


KhandiGurl

She's beautiful, no matter what anybody says. A true African Queen


SupaMYLF

I love her chocolate skin and smooth cut...but red lipstick (really)?!?


im-chuck-dawg-bytch

........ I LOVE MY BLACK SISTERS.....

....BUT YALL SOME M*THERF*CKING HATERS

***** I SEE ALL YALL HAVING A LOVE FEST WITH ALEK WEK

CALLING THAT BYTCH CUTE FLAWLESS AND GORGEOUS

I SEE THAT A LOT ON THIS SITE

I DONT SEE THE MEN CALLING HER CUTE

BUT AS SOON AS MTO PUTS UP A PIC OF KIM K WE SEE EVERY WOMAN ON HERE HATING

WE DONT SEE THE MEN HATING ON KIM K

ISNT IT THE MEN WHO ARE SUSPOSED TO JUDGE HOW CUTE A FEMALE IS???

JUST LIKE IT IS SUSPOSED TO BE THE WOMEN WHO JUDGE RATHER OR NOT A MAN IS CUTE

WHEN MTO POST PICS OF MALE EYE CANDY FOR THE WOMEN

YOU NEVER SEE A BUNCHA POSTS WHERE THE MEN ARE HATING

YOU NEVER SEE A MAN POST COMMENTS SAYING... EEW HE NEED TO PUT A SHIRT ON.... OR EEEW HE NEED TO STOP SHOWING OFF HIS BODY

BUT LET MTO POST A PIC OF A CUTE (NOT UGLY) FLAVOR OF LOVE GIRL

AND YOU WILL SEE @LEAST 100 WOMEN POSTING COMMENTS ON HOW UGLY A CHICK IS

ITS NOT U WOMENS PLACE TO JUDGE HOW PRETTY A FEMALE IS

LEAVE IT UP TO US MEN JEALOUS HATERS

WOMEN ONLY GIVE PROPS TO WOMEN THAT THEY ARE NOT INTIMIDATED BY

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME

WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE NEXT TIME THEY POST A PIC ABOUT KIM K

THEN READ HOW MANY WOMEN WILL SAY THE CHICK IS UGLY ...OR HER BUTT IS FAKE ....OR HOW SHES A H0... (WHICH BY THE WAY SHE HAS ONLY SLEPT WITH REGGIES BUSH AND RAY J WHICH WERE BOTH HER BOYFRIENDS)

THEN READ THE POSTS ABOT BEYONCE

THEY WILL ALL HATE ON HER

THEN READ THE POSTS ABOUT JENNIFER HUDSON

THEY WILL ALL SAY HOW CUTE SHE IS JUST LIKE THEY DOING FOR ALEK WEK

.............YOU GET MY POINT????

BLACK WOMEN ONLY GIVE PROPS TO WOMEN WHO ARE NOT PERFECT 10'S

AND IN ALEK WEK CASE SOMEBODY WHO IS STONE-COLD UGLY

YOU NEVER SEE MEN HATING ON OTHER MEN

NOW WATCH SOMEBODY POST A RESPONSE TO MY BLOG TALKING ABOUT ITS A MATTER OF OPINION

AND I SAY TO THAT PERSON

F*CK YOU THE FACTS SPEAK 4 ITSELF

JUST COUNT THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BLOGS ABOUT ALEK WEK BY THE WOMEN

THEN COUNT THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BLOGS BY THE MEN

THEN GO OVER TO A FLAVOR OF LOVE CHICK OR KIM K THEN COUNT THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BLOGS ABOUT THEM BY THE MEN AND WOMEN

THEY WONT ADD UP

THE ONLY THING THAT WILL ADD UP IS THE JELOUSY AND PHONY-NESS BY THE BLACK WOMEN


lOCAlxCElEBRiTy

i think she's quite pretty! =)i like her eyes the most


Cinnam0nP0undCake

WHY! I WAS FINE UNTIL THE RED ASS LIP STICK MAN...I HATE RED LIP STICK IT MAKES ME MAD!AND THEY ALWAYS USE SO MUCH OF IT.LIKE ABOUT 10 COATS OF IT AT ONE TIME. UUUUGH!


Sunshine009

That red lipstick looks a little clown-ish


ecuasionz

im-chuck-dawg-bytch

Interesting observation!

You brought up some sensitive issues that I hope are challenged by the women. Inquiring minds want to know! I believe that women in general befriend other women that they don't see as prettier than them. It empowers them IMO. I'll let the ladies address the rest of your comment.


STOCKING_CAP

BLACK & SHINE!!!!

FLAWLESS...BUT THEY NEED A BETTER MAKE UP ARTIST I MEAN... RED LIPSTICK?


CBSR

im-chuck-dawg-bytch

Thank you, I did not notice that only the women were calling her Pretty. She is not, I am not going to get into what she looks like but she is not cute or pretty, I would not hit that if I just came home from doing Five years


im-chuck-dawg-bytch

@CBSR

THANK YOU DAWG BUT IT HAD TO BE SAID


thatcatbitch

to all those who say she is not pretty or beautiful, that's because you have only seen the model of blonde hair, blue eyes and chiseled european features as the standard of beautiful. this sister is indeed beautiful. black folks need to get away from the self hatred that we have been spoon fed over the years and appreciate what real is i am not trying to be racist or hateful it just is what it is and true beauty is more than the way you look it's the way you carry yourself and she is not cute, she's beautiful and regal



popsson

light or dark she is still ugly.. i've seen plenty dark skinned beautiful women but this lady... nope. UGLY


Redloxd_Angel

Black is always beautiful. I'm glad the fashion world recognizes it!


longlegzzlady

WITH THAT LIPSTICK SHE REMINDS ME OF A CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY AND I DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE COVER CHERRIES NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE HER I THINK IT'S THE RED LIPSTICK BUT HER SKIN IS FLAWLESS.


keeno2

I think she is absolutely stunning. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (didn't ya'll momma tell you that?)

To me she represents what we were before we were defiled by the white man...true, there may be other African beauties, but for now she is what we have and I love her.

No need to analyze and read subliminal messages into anything all you amateur psychologists, she is beautiful because she represents me, ya'll s mommas, and sisters and ain-tees...


ecuasionz

I've seen FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL darkskin women with equally as flawless skin. Plus I'm not a fan of the Onyx Sticky Fingers style bald head. Long hair is feminine, PERIOD!!


PrettieLoud

THAT UGLY AS JANICE'S ASSISTANT TRIED TO PUT HER ON THE BACK BURNER BY SAYING NO ONE IS CALLING ONE HER TYPE

WITH MAKE UP OR WITH OUT THIS LADY IS BEAUTIFUL.


Jewel17

Dark and Lovely - MTO just had to go there. Fred Mwangawangah, you shouldn't even go there!

She is Lovely - period! I love all of my people from nearly white to marble black.


Yadeki

FLAWLESS!! but that lipstick is not the business.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow.....Very good... A lot of women are like that, but for the most part, I believe women find beauty in each other, especially ones that may not be "cuter" than them, to show their modesty towards their own beauty. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it shows that some women show their appreciation for the way they look by making others that dont look the same feel good, or show others the beauty in them...Some "other" women uses their beauty in a negative way and talk down to ones that think are homely. I personally think that Alek Wek is not ugly, and Im not just saying it because Im an attractive woman.


TGS

@ thatcatbitch

Please don't go there. This lady has pretty skin. I'll give her that. As someone said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Has NOTHING to do with her being a dark lady. I have plenty of GORGEOUS dark friends that will put this woman to shame...and they're wrong for putting that bright red lipstick on her. That doesn't look good AT ALL.


VVS

I've always had love for my girl Alek!


AKeysWannabee

I'm sorry but I don't think she is a beauty..


lOCAlxCElEBRiTy

@popsson "light or dark she is still ugly.. i've seen plenty dark skinned beautiful women but this lady... nope. UGLY " --- i repsect your opinion....but what is it that makes her so ugly?


msfoxxy

WTF? They no dayum well she don't need to be wearing no bright a$$ red lipstick. I can kick them in the a$$ for that. She would've been fine without the lipstick.


COMINGTOAMERICA

She's a supermodel, not too many of those.



RotorRooter

I once saw a documentary of Alec visiting her native Southern Sudan. Funny was the fact that all the females there looked like her or even better! If these girls even knew, they would save up and be on the next plane to the states. Is Alec that beautiful? Not in my opinion. However, she did happen to come along at the right time when something "different" was needed in the fashion industry.


Foxy90210

MAN HER SKIN IS FLAW LESS!!!!!! SIMPLY GORGEOUS!


dctrinigyal

nice skin


momo27

lmao @ Doomed!!!!! What is so funny?


EducatedBlaqueChick

Alek Wek is the total opposite of the European standard of beauty and I love it.

Imagine if the Black man enslaved the White man? ^That would be the standard of beauty.


nati-boo

lmao ummm beauty is in the eye of the beholder


Reasonable_Doubt

I hate that bright red lipstick on her. It's like they're trying to play her out and make her look clownish. Her skin is perfect but to call her "beautiful" or "gorgeous" is a damn lie and it has NOTHING to do with her color. I jus don't find her attractive. Jus as TGS said. I too have darkskin friends that look waaayyyyyy better than this chick.


Zsazsa

She is an authentic black beauty. If your ancestors had not been sexually exploited by slavemasters, you would look like this too. Free yourself and your minds. I am black, but I am not the descendent of slaves.


Foxy90210

@I'M CHUCK DOG BITCH....U MAKE EXCELLENT POINTS!! HOWEVER, I GIVE PROPS TO ALL WOMEN!!! WOMEN THINK I'M CRAZY BECAUSE I WILL COME UP TO THEM AND SAY HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE...LOL THIS LADY HERE IS JUST SIMPLY GORGEOUS FROM NATURAL STAND POINT!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO ARE IN MY EYES.....


BluBoy

Alek Wek is THE EPITOME OF AN UGLY AZZ AFRICAN SUDANESE FEMALE...THEIR ARE PLENTY OF PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE WOMEN IN CERTAIN PARTS OF AFRICA AND WHITE PEOPLE LOVE TO GET THE UGLIEST APE-LIKE AFRICAN THEY CAN FIND BECAUSE BEAUTIFUL BLACK PEOPLE WHO ARE INTELLIGENT ITIMIDATE MOST WHITE FOLKS...SMDH @ ALEK WEK'S UGLY AZZ...WHITE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWN exploit UGLY LOOKING BLACK FOLKS...AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION!...


STLCHIC

Yes she has beautiful skin!


gooncity_oh10

man yall must be high........she looks awful to me....i dnt care what yall say


BluBoy

@im-chuck-dawg-bytch ur so right!...BLACK FEMALES always hate on TRUE BEAUTIES like KIM KARDASHIAN and ANGEL LOLA LUV cause they know that these females look better than them!...BUt will call this UGLY AZZ Alek WEK GORGEOUOS cause they know that she is truly UGLY!...SMDH@ BLACK FEMALES GAMES WITH EACH OTHER!...I'm glad that OTHER PEOPLE CAN see right through thier insecurities and GAMES!...


Doll11one

121269--lmbao---i know you want to go there because as soon as I opened the thread--I knew you would say something...lmao---I saw your little altercation just now...lol you're wild...


GuessJeans

She has flawless clear skin and a unique look about her. I won't call her ugly because she isn't ugly. Her look is different and its refreshing to see an unique foreign beauty type grace the covers of magazines sometimes.

The blonde white-girl black girl 50 pounds foundation and 20 lbs plastic blonde weave is getting too repetitive and played out.

It's good to display another form of African beauty that is raw and organic instead of this constant promotion of watered down european/black girl look that has swamped the beauty world for some 25-30 years. I have nothing but respect for Alek! Get that paper girl



Doll11one

@Hershey---lmbao---I know right...he's acting as if we dont know the comments he's been posting to women and what he generally LIKES...Come on TRAE...


GuessJeans

@Bluboy and Gooncity- Of course you guys will think she's ugly. You're so used to seeing watered down black women grace the cover of magazines. De-condition your minds sweeties. There is MORE THAN ONE form of BEAUTY in this world and no such thing as a "STANDARD" beauty ideal. The world is so colorful and full of different forms of beauty. Don't be so bland and narrow-minded.


MidNite69

She got a white man


lezmiranda

@ She_so_fly....Girl! I never even thought of that!! My eyebrow is now raised and I think you're on to something!!

@ Imchuck-dog-bitch...I hear you...I think you made some very valid points. The only thing I would have to disagree with is that IT is not up to men to judge women and vice versa (I'll sit on the panel of judges judging the swimsuits..lol)... BUT I think it all boils down to each individuals' definition of beauty... I think that Kim K is a gorgeous woman and I also think that Alek Wek is HOT! There are different aspects of their physical attributes that I find to be sexy...

BUT your points were right on key...let's see how others react on this thread...I HAVE A VERY GOOD FEELING THAT WE WILL NOT BE SURPRISED!!!


BluBoy

"and I also think that Alek Wek is HOT!" @lezmiranda

You know that was a BOLD FACED LIE!...


justwant2say

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't see any beauty here. Sorry...just don't see it.


almasez

I'm the first one to scream about the fashion industry needing better representation of dark skinned models, but I think Ms. Wek is waaay overrated. I've seen tall lean and beautiful African girls walking down the street in Manhattan that could put her to shame.


stefjay1972

I'm glad that they have placed someone different on the runway, but she's not beautiful to me. He skin tho.....is very silky and smooth.


lezmiranda

@ Imchuck-dog-bitch...I just went back...You love your Black sisters, but you referred to her as "this bytch aint cute"...**little confusion**


ISIS

tHIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SISTER


lezmiranda

@ BluBoy...you have your nerve calling me a lie...I think that she is beautiful..Her skin is gorgeous and the color is rich... You are entitled to your opinion as well as I am also... You can keep on with your comments...you are ranting because you're the one with the skin complexion complex... I don't expect YOU to see the same beauty I do because she is darker and balder than the type of women you put on a pedastool...it's all good though. You like what you like, and I'll like what I like...

Thanks...


NG1983

OK for the LOVE of GOD, MTO this chick is just plain old UGLY!!! You want me to be nicer, I will be, she is simply facially challenged and she does not have beautiful skin.


ISIS

iF WE WERE LEFT IN AFRICA AND HAVE NOT BEEN TAMPERED WITH THIS IS THE BEAUTY WE ALL WOULD APPRECIATE THIS SISTER. WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT BLACK IS UGLY WE LOOK LIKE MONKEYS . THIS IS THE QUEEN THAT GOD CREATED BEFORE ANY OTHER. LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR CULTURE .


BluBoy

ALso I hate when people think that BLACK FEATURES ARE UGLY WHEN ITS JUST UGLY PEOPLE ARE UGLY!...Every attractive BLACK PERSON DOES NOT HAVE WHITE FEATURES!!...I HATE BLACK FEMALES FOR PERPETUATING THAT MYTH!...BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE ORIGINATORS OF EVERY TYPE OF LOOK THAT IS ON THE PLANET!..so stop saying that the STANDARD OF BEAUTY IF TO HAVE WHITE FEATURES WHEN THAT IS ANOTHER BOLD FACED LIE!...


blak_buttafly

wow..love reading yall's comments...smdhlol



MISSMILA

HELLO MAMA AFRICA..HOW ARE YOU!


ClassicBlackness

She possesses the very pure, original features of the Dinka people of Sudan. You can't help but to see the natural beauty she has. She's a natural beauty.


Baxby

She is beautiful. Pictures do her no justice. Once you see her in person you will understand. The sister is fabulous and has the perfect personality, very approachable and friendly.


ladyglenChicagoStyle

Beautiful African Queen!!!


getsomecents

ZsaZsa@She is an authentic black beauty. If your ancestors had not been sexually exploited by slavemasters, you would look like this too. Free yourself and your minds. I am black, but I am not the descendent of slaves.

There is true pride in being descended from African Slaves. I have the blood of super human survivors running through my viens. That comment above is some ignorant stuff and to think enslaved blacks in the new world had any control of sexual explotation of our families is a really savage view. So I'm guessing where you are from there aren't any european influences what so ever. Oh so hard to believe, Africa is a muck. And your cousins, who were sold away and survived middle passage and whose descendents built the new world are some fine ass super human thoroughbreds. Ask somebody.


amber85

Oh please. This woman is not pretty or attractive. Would you ladies still call her beautiful if this woman stole your boyfriend? Absolutely not and you know it. You'd tell your friends that you can't believe that your boyfriend left you for this ugly chick. Also, you call her a true Black beauty but yet you sit behind your computers with weaves and eye contacts. How many of you would like to look like her? Exactly.


BluBoy

@Amber85 ...LMAO...ur so right too!


mythangBIG

my shaft loves chocolate.....


mythangBIG

and it would love her's...with the right amount of patron


maiaangel

yeah she's a looker alright.she has a very unique look to her, and that to me makes her beautiful, very exotic.and who care what the fallas in here think. she has a very good looking boyfriend, not only that but she's paid. her personality makes her even more beautiful.she has such class and grace to her, i love this girl


kimchoo

Omg I am forever jealous of her and pretty much every dark-skinned chick out there...her skin is ridiculously smooth!


GoGoSunshine

Okay first off that red lipstick pisses my life off. It makes me think of all those racist Caricatures that STILL exist today. If you don't know what I'm talking about I'd advise you to stop worrying about being first on MTO and go read a book.

2. Iamchuck or whatever and bluboy...Not every Black female operates like that and I'm so sick of pointing that out. I honestly don't give a hootin tootin damn who you think is hot or not. Or who is insecure. I just really don't like for people to lump me up with everyone else.


Foxy90210

Cosign....with Lezmiranda and Guess! Excellent points ladies.


Doll11one

@121269---girl I knew that was you in that photo...I didnt see your other eye @ first but I saw it the next day....


Tiffany347

I like the first pic, she looks good up close. Her skin looks rich brown. The last pic, I'm not a fan of. She looks washed out and gray. I hate that shade of red, I think it should be darker. Close crop looks good on her, she has the head shape for it. I would look like an alien, lol.



Tiffany347

Oops, I mean the second to last pic (3rd pic) I don't like.


amber85

@ TDR25

Thank you! Alek is ugly. The fashion world tries to shove this woman down our throats as beautiful like they do boney Kate Moss. You gotta remember that the fashion world is made up entirely of gay men with zero interest in women. Therefore, they select women who fit the clothes well but have no appeal to the general public. Alek falls under that category. Different isn't always good.


esotericdredz

MTO isn't even slick with what they are trying to start with this one....

One thing that can't be disputed is that this woman is a legend who opened many doors in the industry for black models. There are a lot of African-American and African models with natural hair and strong features that are working and making money today because of the impact that she has had. People can think what they want of her appearance, but she's a trailblazer for sure.


DreDog

Alek is an attractive woman...to eaches own...some may not like her and some do.

But I really don't think that she walks around 24/7 with that red lipstick on....this is what she gets paid to do...it's a photoshoot people...how gullible...ah neva mind..LMAO


MixedHearts

GORGEOUS skin!


Melania

People on here are so full of shyt, if this chick wasn't in the modeling game everyone would be talking about how ugly she is.


cutiepie789

wow she is spectacular! shes not choclate skin she is very very dark choclate skin looks yummy haha but wow she is fab she will NEVER EVER age with all the melain in her dark rich beutiful skin tone.

SHES A AFRICAN PRIDE GODESS!


Luke-Cage

MAN I DONT GIVE A FUKK WHAT KIND OF MODELING CONTRACTS SHE GOT THAT SCRAWNY MALNOURISHED LOOKING BITTTCH IS UGLY AS FUKK. AND I AGREE IF THIS CHICK WAS WORKING THE REGISTER AT MACDONALDS WOULDNT NONE OF YALL BE TALKING ABOUT SHE LOOK GOOD, GET THE FUKK OUT OF HERE.


yourgoodhair

She's beautiful. I like her without the lipstick though, that shade of red doesn't do her any justice.

She needs to marry/procreate with a white/Asian/Latino. Just saying...


biishiiq0tst33z

LMFAO @ im-chuck-dawg-bytch & bluboy i knw i 4 one dnt put on 4 nobody my opinions r jus dat 1oo% n alek is a gud model n her skin does look type good but ol girl is hurt awl up in da face reqion n i dnt want everybody sayin how qorqeous she is like we aint lookin @ da same dam pics!!


biishiiq0tst33z

p.s. i aint sayin dis jus cuz shes "dark skinned" cuz even if she was paperbaq brown or less she'd still b unattractive


carmelcorne

gimme them cheekbones. She does not age.



monisha

what i realise that so many MTO readers are darker skin tonned black women, that why they all live in denial. People oon here talking about her skin tone being gorgeous. 1. How many of you in your hearts would want to be as black as she is? 2. How many of you would want to look like her? 3. How many of you wish your skin tone could be light? You all know Alek is not beautiful and her skin tone is too black. living in denial does not help. Her skin is even because she has foundation on duh.

I would rather age than be as dark as her or as ugly as her.


sicilatina

I'm sorry but this girl is in no way pretty or beautiful in the face to me. She does have a nice even skin tone, but that's about it. When i look at her, i don't see "pretty" at all. She actually looks a little ape-ish to me. Say what you want, but its my opinion. @ Melania & Amber85, yall aint never lie! And i know as soon as people read this and see my pic, I'll get accused of saying she is not pretty because of the light/dark issue, but that has nothing to do with it. It's her facial structure that is not physically appealing to me, not her skin color. There is beauty and ugliness in every race and skin color and just like people are on here raving about how beautiful they think she is, people also have a right to speak the truth too!


GODFAV

I'm proud of everyone for ignoring the shidt starter on this post who think they are slick. :)


YoMamaLikeit

Always dug her looks and still do. That red lipsticks too garish for her type of beauty, thou. She don't need nothin'! Just "BE!"


clarkekent3000

Who says??? Just last week you all are giggin on dude who's ol lady was really light skin but now that this chick is really dark "she's strikingly beautiful"???? WTF!


BigGntl

What the [EXPLETIVE] are you people looking at? I am not trying to knock her hustle, but baby is not a dime.

Trulee

Sorry but her skin is not pretty. She has a gang of little bumps on her face and that dried out Wet N' Wild red lipstick is tacky. One thing I could say is that everytime we see her she looks so pleasant like she has a real easy going personality.

They do lie. I asked under my old account, if they wanted their kids (especially their daughter) to be that dark, almost all said they didn't care.@monisha


She_So_Fly

I'm glad that this thread didn't blow up to a 500 plus comment affair. That was MTO's whole agenda when they posted this story. Retards!


Girlsluvgems

She's beautiful. Black don't crack. She could be 50 and we wouldn't know it. She still looks like a young girl...


TGS

IMO, the dark skin, plus size chick from the other day (the BET rip the runway thread), looks much better than this chick.


la_india

she is model material, but i she has nothing on grace jones back in the day! i think grace jones was the most under-rated model of all time. she put EVERYONE to shame...black models, white models, all of 'em! just my opinion

licrease

"What the [EXPLETIVE] are you people looking at? I am not trying to knock her hustle, but baby is not a dime."

tjtrae1 Flag post Beauty is in the eye of the beholder- ----- I totally agree sir!


madamluv

I would love to have her beautiful smooth flawless skin++++


KaishaNaele

I think Alek Wek is a beautiful African sister; but make no mistake that red lipstick- BABY! that sh!t has to go!! Black women shouldn't wear red lipstick no matter how light or dark you are. Leave that for the white women (Yes I said it- PROBLEM?!)


whyLAWDwhy

whyLAWDwhy

@She_So_Fly I agree with u completely

princessof_la

garcia_kattia

She's Aiight, she is not beautiful however, I am proud of this sister. Representing for all dark skin women.


Lilli87

@ Amber85...why are you always on her criticizing Black women, who the hell do you think you are. And you have the nerve to talk about Black women wearing hair weave and contacts...how about white women getting breast implants, butt implants, collagen injections and visit tanning salons or sit out in the sun day in and day out just to look like us. PLEASE...Don't you ever come on this board and criticize another Black woman again!!


susta

so her bone structure is not that of a white woman...yall have been brain. she's a natural beauty and i love her dark complexion.

i bet these photos does her no justice...in person...no doubt...her real beauty shines.

she's not paid because she looks weird that's for damn sure.



susta

*brainwashed


MrsIDontGiveAFuc

nickiicky

DQC

pinkdiamondprincezz

This chick need some damn eyebrows some goddamn hair cuz she look like a alien and that scarlett red ass lipstick ain't da biznezz.


ShoeFetish

She's isn't my idea of gorgeous but rather cute. She has child like features which is kinda adorable.

She DOES not look like an animal you jerks!! Everyone ( I mean most )ppl have a feature thats attractive in its own way


SoSerious4life

She isn't very easy on my eyes, but her skin is freaking flawless. I bet she'll age gracefully. Ha...take that, take that. =)


SoSerious4life

I don't understand why some of these designers be making some black models look a mess. Like they just got off of the slave ship. I mean WTF, do she have on red lip stick for?!? That sh*t is not cute. They be putting those white ho's on better looking clothes, and their make up be much better, than most black models.


lilmizsunshine25

oh for crying out loud, lmao @ im-chuck-dawg, you sound completely ignorant. really no one should judge how beautiful anyone is but it happens everyone pretty much does it i mean this is a blogsite, ppl usually give their opinions. I happen to be a female that likes kim k and she beautiful as well as this chick. So for you to say basically that blk women hate on wht chicks (which just about sums it up) is ridiculous it b/c you realy do sound stupid. The truth of the matter is lighter skin is usually glorified more dark skin in this country. I think its a matter of us embracing the fact that blk is beautiful despite what the media and society has tried to teach us to believe.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS


daddyschile

I once saw her on Oprah and she was talking about all of the humanitarian work that she does and that's when I realized that it is her inner beauty that radiates from the inside out. She is not one of them models that takes her money or position for granted. she puts her money where her mouth is and she has a sweet nature. It's easy to criticize when you don't know the character of a person. Because looks fade but character lasts a lifetime....


susta

@IM-CHUCK-DAWG-BYTCH

it's not that we are hating on the FOL girls and kim k. and we take up for those who YOU consider not attractive...no one is hating or intimidated by beauty. we call ugly, ugly and a whore a whore. esp. if they put themselves out there like that.

will you take kim k or a FOL chick home to meet momma and your children if you have any? or will you take someone like angela bassett, taraji henson, sanaai lathan, or any other self-respecting woman? we have different versions of beauty. what would you call ole girl with "i wanna fuk you" on her shirt? females and MALES were bashing her.

this woman or jennifer hudson ain't out there taking pics. or making videos with they're asses in the camera to make a come up.

females judge men and women. males hold back sometimes because of fear of being labled gay. that's just our nature. celebrities know whats to risk when they become celebrities. they taking a gamble. you praised for good works; you slip, you end up like rhianna and chris b. or ole boy that's todays headliner.

yall using this "hating" term out of context. cause if that's the case we'd all say that you and those who don't think alek is beautiful, are HATERS.

(damn, pose to be studying this red bull got me wired. never posted this much before)


coldwindsblow

i love me a choclate woman, said that b4 and 'gon keep sayin' it, And mean it.


choclatdrop

WOW. Black is beautiful. That's what's up. Strut that catwalk gurl!



coldwindsblow

Always remember, men we like to have fun, women judge and f@ck up fun, So it looks like we all stayed in our lanes on this one.


Geese

I'm an African guy and I think this woman is UGLY AS HELL. She does NOT represent beutiful African women!!! Women like Agbani Darego, Joelle Kayembe, Nina Keita, Lesliane Pereira and Nnenna Agba are beautiful African women. BluBoy is 100% correct. They use this woman to push a racist agenda and insinuate that all non-mixed Africans have a 'Sambo' look. I've lived in Africa, visited Africa very recently and see African girls on campus every day (I live in Canada) and pretty much every African woman I know is FAR FAR FAR FAR better looking than that. A lot are straight up gorgeous.


ifekat

Alec just like Beyonce or Kim K or J Hud are all human beings...

They all have different kinds of beauty...we just get shoved one type of standard down our throats thats all...and when we do see something unique we study it and appreciate it...all blk women have some beauty to them it depends on the person...but we have no critical anaylsis and we live our lives according to "group think"...

I someone didn't find her physically attractive that and had a true basis that's is ok...I won't be offended but if it's based on if she a so-called "dime" you know that is somkinda program that is talking...

I don't like the fact that she has that bright red lipstic to make her look like she is in blackface...so even with the beauty she has she too is exploited just like the others...


Geese

"HER SKIN IS AN EVEN TONE!! SHE'S TOO DARK FOR THAT RED AZZ LIPSTICK!!! SHE A NATURAL BEAUTY FOR FULL BLOODED AFRICANS!! FARS AS AFRICAN AMERICAN SHE'S NOT!!!"

You [EXPLETIVE] idiot. African women (even this ugly chick) look a LOT better than Akata women. Chicago's ugliest, unlike akata women, African women aren't fat as hell, loud as hell and don't wear blonde weaves down to their knees. This woman is NOT beautiful for "full blooded Africans". You stupid f*ck, she's considered ugly and an insult to the continent (physically speaking). It's like Africans claiming Whoopi Goldberg is attractive for a black American. How dare you even insinuate Africans find her ugly ass attractive!! Europeans made her a model NOT Africans and furthermore her phenotype is only found in Southern Sudan meaning she looks nothing like most Africans.

Nina Keita and Agbani Darego are what Africans consider attractive you f*cking cotton picking mixed mongrel whore!!!


Le_Piiimp

DON'T FORGET WHAT YALL REALLY LOOK LIKE WITHOUT YALL WEAVES, CONTACTS, FAKE LASHES AND ALL THAT OTHER SH!T. QUIT BLEACHING FOR A DAY AND LET'S SEE IF YALL LOOK BETTER THAN THIS GIRL. HAHA FRONT'N ASS HOES!


babybabybaby

People needs to be truthful. There are actually beautiful african girls, lets bring them to the forefront


clevacleva

Geese - you lose major cool points by thinking cussin' gets your point heard.

1) Africa isn't a country, its a continent in which the standard of beauty varies from country to country

2) Just like African Americans, define beauty based on westernize standards, so do some africans. Even if you're very dark, your nose and lips need to be thin like white women.

3) There is a difference in "Beauty" and "Pretty". Beauty can be flawed, odd, weird, and different.

Ya'll have called your successful black sista....a monkey, monster, ugly, beast,etc.

I'm thankful that alek is out there doing her thing. There is a continuum of beauty.

damn shame.


clevacleva

Its really a shame when our own call anyone black - a gorilla, monkey or ape.

lawd.


soulsangr

i don't agree with the lipstick.. that's the ONLY thing! lol


im-chuck-dawg-bytch

@ANTIDUMB

SO BASICALLY YOU AGREE WIT ME

YOU SAID THAT WOMEN PROTECT OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE NOT PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE

AND I SAID THAT WOMEN GIVE PROPS TO UGLY WOMEN

WHATS THE GAWD DAMN DIFFERENCE??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

@LILMIZZSUNSHINE

FUKK YOU STUPID BYTCH I NEVER SAID THAT BLACK WOMEN HATE ON WHITE WOMEN YOU STUPID WH0RE LEARN TO READ

MY 1ST STATEMENT OF MY BLOG WAS THAT I LOVE MY BLACK SISTERS

@SUSTA

I GET YOUR POINT BUT THE ONLY THING THAT I DISAGREE WITH U IS THAT U SAID THAT MEN DONT JUDGE MEN 4 FEAR OF BEING CALLED GAY

THATS JUST NOT TRUE

TAKE IT FROM A MAN

WE JUST DONT CARE YOU ARE RIGHT IN A SENSE IF WE WERE TO CALL ANOTHER MAN CUTE

BUT WE WONT BE CALLED GAY IF WE CALL ANOTHER MAN UGLY

YOU NEVER SEE US CALL ANOTHER MAN CUTE OR UGLY BECUZ ITS NOT IN OUR NATURE

EXCEPT FOR FLAVOR FLAV


br0wni3

she needs to give out her skin care regimen asap.i'm so jealous it's not funny.

but i have a bff from sierra leone(africa)and she looks better than alek.i've seen african's that are way prettier than her.she's not ugly though,but just really average...even if she was light-skin


tommykimon

She skin is beautiful but she has a unique look about her self.


tommykimon

"oops I mean her skin is beautiful" typing too fast


diamondprincess1

who r yall kidding? that bitch is ugly shes no jessica white


BAARBIE69

she aint pretty but her skin tone is sexxed n its soooo evennn!!!



watzgood

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL HOWEVER I AM NOT FEELING THAT BRIGHT LIPSTICK ON HER.


doubleyblessed

I love how the fashion world embraces that woman she may not be the image of beauty that society wants on a daily basis, but she is inspiration to woman that may not be up to the worlds standard of beauty.


Charmed2009

She has a very pretty complexion. But I think that "they" say she is beautiful to mock us! Her and Grace Jones; and alot of these other black models currently. She favors a gorilla, and thats what they think of us as! But I agree with Doubleyblessed, she does give inspiration to the rest of us!


alei

SHE IS NOT PRETTY OR BEAUTIFUL LETS B REAL,PPL CALL HER THESE THINGS TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR SELF N SKIN COLOR BUT I LIKE THE FACT SHE REPS ALL BLACKS AND NOT JUS ONE STANDARD OF BEAUTY WHICH IS REALLY GOOD


LiquidAmber

I like her skin and the shape of her nose.. She represents part of the range of black looks.. it's good that her look gets media coverage because the public needs to get used to and accept more of the black look. Love it...


pinkpussycat

Her skin is nice


daomalic

africanPride


jsime

a homeless dog looks better but her skin is even toned


SHUGA

Wow....her skin is like a beautiful onyx gemstone. Very exotic.
