BLACK PEARL FIGHT FOR CANCER
The time has come to take it up a notch. The first two issues of Black Pearl were extremely nice, but now it’s up to us to take the publication to a whole new level. As you will see in Issue 3 , the layout will become more visually entertaining and easier to read. The photos will be more vibrant and thought out. And as always, the models will be the most beautiful in Detroit. Our Issue 3 Cover model Christiana Horrington is by far one of the most amazing talents in the South East Michigan modeling arena. Available for print, runway, swimsuit, lingerie and glamour, Christiana is prepared for any campaign that may come her way. As you’ll see from her layout, she’s extremely versatile and gifted. Her beauty is beyond measure. We’d also like to welcome a new advertiser to the family, LaFontaine Motors very own Barb Van and Nina. Let’s show them support and let them know that their advertising dollars are well spent with Black Pearl. In this issue we ask why do women love so hard!! The answers just may surprise you. And maybe not!!! As usual, you’ll find interesting articles on health and beauty, some lovely poetry, and other articles of interest to the aspiring model. If there’s a topic you’d like to see discussed drop us a line on the website. As always Love You All Vince Hollaway Publisher vince@blackpearlmag.net

We posted this question on facebook and received a furry of responses. It seems the Women of Detroit are somewhat in agreement on why they love as hard as they do. Often too hard and with tragic circumstances. Chime in on the conversation at blackpearlmag.net.
MM: ts our genetics. We are more emotional & hormonal settle. Set your bar and expect that the man will want to pole by nature. Dont hold it against us. Lol! We didnt choose to be vault over it to be with you. So women, don't just settle just female....daddy's sperm did! hahahahaha! to say you have a Man. SH: Omgggggg good ? N I'm a womAn n I want to Know PN: it is in our nature. sometimes its our downfall but it's true
PN: No one should but they do all the time. They don't expect much of themselves from a relationship so why should they expect anything more from their so called mate? It's a horrible cycle. long gone are the days of chivalry, courtship, and respect.
KW: because God made us that way.... HBD: because were so emotional and tend to look deeper into a situation than we need to and tend to see more potential inside of a person than we should at time, yup that’s all I can think of.
JS: OMG Yes i need to Kno This Bcuz im N Love with a Man and it’s hard Love. N NOW all I do is Worry. LM: I agree Vince... I WILL NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS THAN I DESERVE... WOMEN KNOW UR WORTH, AND NEVER SETTLE FOR ANYTHING WORTHLESS...
PN: bcuz parents didnt raise their sons right and now the world has no respect 4 women therefore we settle most times DM: Because it's in our nature to love hard and hate hard to one or the other sometimes there is no in between vince hollaway No one should ever settle for less!! You can be miserable all by yourself!! I didn't want to have children MN: cause we can’t control our heart.... until I got married and I didn't. I didn't get married until I knew she was the one and she is!!! There's no need to ever
WHY I PUBLISH BLACK PEARL MAGAZINE!!
A
ll too often I get asked this question. The main reason I go through the time and expense to publish this great local magazine is to give our local talent an outlet. They deserve to be seen and heard and Black Pearl magazine is that vehicle. We the staff will give anyone the opportunity to get their story published, any model the opportunity to be seen by many and also any photographer the ability to get his/her work published. My mission is to get exposure to the many great models in the city of Detroit and surrounding area. Our magazine is seen by many agencies and agents across the country each issue. It is exposure that the models wouldn’t normally get. The reason I publish the magazine? For you Detroit!! For you!!
