I saw her about 3 weeks @ the club promoting the Atlanta Dymes calendar...

imo ashley and the glenn twins are straight and they're smart.. the all have completed degrees.. and, working a real job on the side(reportedly h&R block) in their early 20's.. while doing their little thing with modeling, acting or whatever..i think that would be pretty fun to do at that age..
but i feel tomika is sad in a way because for all that modeling or whatever she's been doing for years and years-- here she is at 30 at atlanta airport in a uniform

People assume that the girls walking in NY/Milan/London fashion week for Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Dior are the only "models" around. Not true. There's alot of sectors of modeling that girls are making a good living from and most probably won't recognize their faces nor know them by name. Elite, Ford and the like all have commercial divisions for those who don't fit the height requirments. I just don't understand why she didn't push herself out of the "urban" market with her look, but hey I just see a lot of potential that is not being fully utilized.
Also, models can make a good living off of commercials. They pay quite well, because of the residuals.
Anyway, I think it's good that she has a respectable job.

Heck modeling is taking a loss much like everything else now and I personally know too many "models/actor wannabees" who refuse to get a "real" job and rather be broke because they think they're too good to get one, WTF?!?!?! And you're not even in a big market like NY/LA to even rely just on modeling work!!!!!!!! So yeah, good for her and she isn't relying on laying on her back either, which I'm sure is easy for her to do as well.
She should definitely try to push herself towards bigger modeling agencies like an Elite or Ford, who I think has offices in ATL. That part really has me scratching my head though.
Dude. She has NO chance with Elite or Ford. She's too old, too 'fat' and looks too familiar.
Carry on. Fuck you in advance to people who feel disrespected.

Okay, I was so thinking the same thing. Her body is so not Elite or Ford. Though she can lose weight, her face is already out there as an "urban" model. Who really thinks she will go from urban model to Covergirl. She probably can do some perm boxes, rocawear, things of that nature.

Re: video girl tamika skanes works at atlanta airport!
…don’t know her & never heard of her, but I give her 2 pts 4 workin a legit job! I guess it’s easy 4 ppl w/jobs in the middle of a real damn RECESSION to make comments about where she workin, how much she getting paid, her education, etc…
As I recall major companies r laying EDUCATED ppl off in the thousands now-a-days. Ppl w/damn law degrees r applying for jobs at retail stores! EVERY industry is suffering! From retail to entertainment, so if this woman can get her a legit job to pay her bills y knock it?
One minute we rippin these video “models/hoes” a new asshole b/c they fuckin 2 keep the lights on or shakin azz 2 get 2 the top, now we got 1 tryin 2 make it…I think she deserves some type of credit.
And, if she likes carpet munchers, hey that’s her thing…
Shit, besides…even the “ballers” may have to cut back during these rough economic times…

Relying on some wishy washy 'baller' to pay your bills = dumb as hell (but a good side gig). Full time job at the airport with benefits? = smart. But that's just my opinion.
Chic makes a lot of club appearances. In my opinion, it would be idiotic for her to spend a lot of money per outfit. She has the type of figure that although the clothes could be cheap (I've always thought she wore flattering tight but not stank nasty clothes) the clothes always look good on her, and she can wear something different every night, since she is often photographed.
Then again, I'd rather have $500 in my $100 purse as opposed to $0 in a $500 purse.
No your not the only one that feels this way. That's our mentality in this country though, look down on people who don't pay for someone's name. I see too many chics designer down and look cheap as shit. I appauld this girl for going out and working a legitimate job and not using her looks and or body to make money and losing her self-respect in the process.

At least no one would see her working like everybody else right?

And being gorgeous doesn't guarantee that you are going to have man, so I don't get what is so hard to believe that this chick is without a baller or a man for that matter. There could be something about her that turns men off. Being gorgeous is definitely not a dealbreaker on whether or not a woman will ALWAYS have a man around.
Just because she doesn't have a man doesn't mean that it's because she can't get one. I'm sure this woman gets approached everyday by all kinds of men. Being beautiful affords you the option to be selective. Where as an ugly chic pretty much has to take what she can get. Maybe she's the type of woman who wants to do it on her own instead of depending on a man and having to deal with the bullshit that goes with it. The mentality of some people is unreal. Get off your backs ladies and learn to be independent like this woman.
Re: video girl tamika skanes works at atlanta airport!
yeah the white guy she is with is jimmy farris and he used to play for the falcons like from 2003-2005. i actually know him from my former church. not only did he attend my church he called himself trying to be a pastor at the end of 2006 early 2007. around early 2007 he quit our church (i did later too) and i have not seen him since. i do have a friend that keeps in touch with him so maybe i will find out more later. but he was not "dating" tamika when i was last in touch with him. very interesting.

No she's not too old sweetheart, go on Ford or Elite's website and you'll see a lifestyle/commerical division that has a range of women in age.
You obviously, as some others don't know alot about the modeling industry to know that the 17,18, 19 year olds walking the runways in New Yorrk and Paris and getting Chanel, Prada campaigns aren't the only models making a good living at it. There's all sorts of sectors of modeling, particuarly commerical/lifestyle that has no age cutoff.
