Cute Models Inc. show from '09

Living Legends Entertainment Salt Performance

Here's the video of Living Legends Entertainment's "Salt" show. The opening with the video was cute, and it started off strong, but I lost intrest in the show 3 minutes into it. The music, fashion, and group routines became very stagnant. The energy level remained the same through out the entire show. Not much changed, and you all know how I feel about those uniform outfits in a modeling troupe show...not impressed.

Just NAKED!!!

You've gotta love those raw, sensual Florida troupes. Though troupes in more northern regions of the eastern USA seem to have left the army of bikini-clad vixens back in the mid 2000's, such an image has become a staple of this region's shows. As tactless as this clip is, I love it! Is it any wonder this is the region of the nation that mothered the FAMU sex tape?! This brings back memories of Verge's Sean Paul "Temperature" inspired 4 seasons competition piece in 2006, and vintage Mozik/Epiphany.

The Troupes of WSSU: The Vice Versa Productions Story (Part 2)

Vice Versa as M.O.D. attending Epiphany's 2009 spring show

Last month I wrote a piece about the life and death of Vice Versa Productions (VVP), a troupe from WSSU. Now I will finish the tale of this group, summing up what killed the organization and how to not let such a thing happen to yours.

Word On the Street: CANDYLAND

Previously I made a remark that nothing of interest is going on in the P.M. world, well silly me to have forgotten that all I had to do was think of an event I’m helping to put together and talk to one of my Sista Girls about local competitions. See where presumption gets you, with a foot in the mouth. Anyway…

What’s going on the performance runway world?

I haven’t seen anything new from the NC troupes since summer 2010! Is there a creative drought going on? If so, then please get it together ASAP. Lest 2011 be a long year.

The Art of Competing: Know Thy Enemy!

As clichéd as the above quote is, in the world of competition it’s one of the most essential elements towards victory over adversaries. In the business world, analyzing competitors and their strengths/weaknesses rules how most corporations (that have survived for the long haul and are successful) handle their quarterly affairs. In performance modeling any troupe serious about being taken seriously should do the same.
