BEST PHOTOS IN KING #29
Nikki Alexander
Page 79 - Simply beautiful. I don't know what else to say.
Shy Saltor
Page 93 - Such seductive eyes. They nearly steal the show from her curvy lower torso, which is properly exhibited from the left-side.
Khrysti Hill
Page 95 - How do you photograph a model with a 43? Easy, you shoot her from the back, or the side. It's absolutely un-foul-up-able... Oh, wait, maybe it is foul-up-able: see pages 92 and 93 (why is she cut in half?).
Tomi
Page 112 - Her body isn't at all special, but the look in her eyes is dangerous.
Miss Issa
Page 118 - I'm in awe of all of it: her face, her twins, her stomach... the colors, the lighting, etc... It's a hot photo. And classy, too, despite what she does with her panties, which is so incredibly played out and cliched and redundant and old hat, and [throw in a bunch of other synonyms for the word 'predictable']...
Page 122 - She's beautiful! She certainly has something light to fall back on if she doesn't make it as a singer.

Mad props to King for following up their very in your face Toccara cover with a barely there Kelis cover (those Kelis photos seem to be more about architecture and nature than Kelis). I must admit that I was very afraid of buying the Toccara issue because of how damn near pornographic its cover is (where was the Jennifer Freeman cover sold?). C'm' on guys, make a "brother" feel proud about buying King at Borders. Did you know that some person at Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie turned the front copy backwards so as to hide it from the prudish eyes of children and... haters? I almost missed it. If you can produce covers like this and the Keisha Cole cover, then you can do it consistently (I guess that every cover subject would have to be a feminist for that to happen, right?). I know you're trying to grab the attention of dudes who know nothing about King... Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I just subscribed to your magazine. Good-bye judgemental looks from the cashier. All I can hope from now on is that the mailman doesn't rip out photos or keep the issues for himself... and that the mailwoman doesn't drench each issue in water before slipping it into my mailbox with a message taped to it, reading, "get a girlfriend, dammit!"... Hm, with that in mind I should probably kill the subscription and just go back to buying the issues at Borders. A paying pervert is still a paying customer.
