This is the best JHud ever

This is the best JHud ever looked. Who ever styled her for the photo shoot did a great job. I like all her outfits on her except the blue dresses. OMG. Jen looks like a different woman in the head shot photo. Her makeup is perfection. Good job.

Ever notice how the american haters never say anything negative about our street tough city girls like Jennifer, Keyshia, Mary J, etc. They always go after our sweet country girls like Bey, Cici, etc. Cowards only go after people they THINK they can beat, but they're dead wrong, because our country girls can kick butt with the best of them.

Summerbaby8: How many professional photos aren’t airbrushed though?
Of course a lot are...but I said airbrushed..to the high heavens...that means...significantly! To the point where it just does not look real. There is nothing wrong with a using the technique...I can just tell when it is overly used...JMO though.

I guess it's OK for J-Hud to be airbrushed to within an inch of her life...but let this be out little Pseudo Creole friend (who shall not be named), and everyone would have a heart attack. It's not right..but it's OK.

Derek is great at what he does. But most credit needs to go to J-HUD she is bringing the fierceness in these pics. She has a great face that is easily photogenic. Also who is the stylist that did this shoot, they deserve an award. All the outfits are sexy and still very appropriate for her body type.
