Here is my girl Hana, aka Gi Gi. Every time I look at her Alias photo I crack up. Out of all of my friends, she’s the one with the three distinct personalities. She has a very serious all-business side that she shows at work and at school. Then there’s the sassy vixen who’s only allowed out on weekends. Her revolutionary side is ever-present, but hidden behind her innocent smile. The revolutionary is who keeps the businesswoman motivated and the vixen in check!
She came prepared with a few outfit choices and I supplied the scene-stealing dashiki. I’m pretty sure the yellow dress is a shirt, but she worked the heck out of it! LOL. The idea for the poster came together while I was editing and trying to figure out which personality to put front and center. I had a blast searching through 1970s Blaxploitation posters and coming up with catchy phrases to add to it.
The hair (other than the afro) was done by TaKisha Edwards and the make-up was done by Kristy Tomlin.

Foxy Brown ain’t got NUTHIN on Ms. Hana in this dashiki! Love it! Great job photographer and model. Who knew all those foxy sides were hiding behind the conservative facade?! 😉
It was my pleasure. It was so much fun!!!
You have such a way with words! I LOVE IT! I really feel like you capture the essence of me. Thank you for picking me to be apart of your series… Of course you know me. Would I really have it any other way… Wink Wink =)
