Melyssa Ford “Turns the Other Cheek”
Posted by Bossip Staff
The theme for Melyssa Ford’s Alter Ego photo shoot with photographer Derek Blanks was “Thick Skin vs. Thin Skin.” The image speaks for itself, but make sure you continue on to see the “full spread.”
Flip the script to see her painted Croc Cakes…
SMH. That’s a whole lotta booty. Good lord.

Very different. I like it. But I hink I’m not truly understanding the concept… A black woman with braid wrapped, croc skin as if from the motherland. A white woman w/ veins and heart open…. I’m a bit confused as to “Thick skin vs. Thin Skin” as it related to race.
What do others think the picture is portraying?

all of you talking about how bad she looks as white women know that her mother is white. She doesn’t look that bad in either picture. Very beautiful!
Miss B
12/1/09, 08:30:am
Okay, since it’s an Alter Ego shoot, guess it’s saying sometimes she has think skin and sometimes she doesn’t….
So sometimes she’s transparent and her heart is open, and other times her skin is thick as croc skin and her emotions aren’t worn on her shoulder???? I think… B/c I am not thinking it has much to do with her being a black and white woman.

This shoot had nothing to do with race, so please do not interpret it in a negative way whatsoever. This is Melyssa’s perspective of the entertainment industry which can be cruel and yet kind at the same time. Please, let’s stop this hatred pattern that has become all too familiar. Here is her statement to clarify:
There are two “fixed givens” I know to be true right now: One is that you need “thick skin” to deal with the entertainment business. Two, is that Derek Blanks is the hottest photographer right now and his “Alter Ego” series is THE thing to do. Celebrities are clamoring for Derek to photograph them and the “other version of themselves”. His vision is uncompromised, his talent is undeniable and I’m grateful that we finally crossed paths.
The photos that you see are the culmination of our constant communication and the implementation of my vision. The conception of this photo came to me one day while hiking and Derek Blanks and Saisha Beecham, my makeup artist/body painter more than made it a reality, with their unimaginable talent and creative execution.
All of us know what it feels like to have to “turn the other cheek” or “be the bigger person” or “turn a blind eye and ear to their critics and the nay-sayers”… I OVER-stand this concept, hence my visual interpretation of the reality: that we all hurt and are not immune to the pain caused by harsh judgment

I REALLY love this concept. Kudos to Melyssa!
Miss B
12/1/09, 09:39:am
Okay… I can get that concept. It was visualized in a quite confusing manner.
And a bit odd that she would state about needing thick skin in the entertainment industry, yet flaunt her butt (what she’s known for) at the same time. But more power to her since I like the photo.
Gimmeabreak78
12/1/09, 09:39:am
@ Team Ford
Thanks for writing down what I have been screaming at the computer screen after reading everyone’s comments.
It has zero to do with race. It is simply commentary on the entertainment industry and life in general. While we have to be really sensitive to our environment and have a heart (thin skin), a crocodile knows that to survive in it’s environment, it’s got to be a little callous and not be too sensitive to what’s going on (thick skin).
I guess not everyone caught the irony.
Team M Ford
12/1/09, 09:41:am
Simply put, whether you are in the spotlight or not, we have all fallen victim to someone’s harsh words, a vicious rumor at some point in our lives or another. The alter on the left with the crocodile skin is the side of you that nothing phases, no matter what people say, you let them know words can never hurt you. But the alter on the right is the reality that words can be hurtful, and your skin is not as thick as it may seem to others, so thin you can see your lifeline, the veins, the blood that flows, …so thin you can peel back and see your heart. It is an artistic photo, with the reality of the subject ‘thick skin vs thin skin’. I hope I was able to explain it for you all to have a better understanding. And yes, I work for her.

12/1/09, 09:44:am

@Gimmeabreak78 – thank you for understanding. And to others who feel another way – this is not a ‘resort’ to showing her butt. You are at your most vulnerable when? In the nude. Please try to understand the concept in its entirety. I know people will still be judgmental, and to each his own. I just didn’t want it to be an argument on this site and depicted as a racial issue or with any negative connotations, because that wasn’t the case at all.
I hope you all have a great day*

You people who are saying this has nothing to do with race clearly have not yet grasped the concept of an alter-ego photo shoot. The whole point of it is to capture and portray two very different sides of the model’s persona in the same photograph.
Therefore you can’t correctly interpret the photo unless you understand that:
1) Melyssa father is a black West Indian and her mom is a white Canadian.
2) Even though she may be a sensitive (thin skinned) person at her core her experiences in the entertainment industry and the criticism that judgmental people (like many of you here on bossip)have aimed in her direction have forced her to grow a thick layer of skin in order to protect herself.

I guess still she is showing both sides of her rather based on her dads race or her moms, since one person has a braid basket and the other has slinky hair.
‘m tired of trying to figure out. It’s an interesting picture. I just wish if it has to do with needing strong skin in the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t have placed so much focus on the *****et that gets her talked about. I know she’s known for her butt and thats why she’s posing thick skin in the butt image….

Look closely at how the thin skinned, open hearted Melyssa is almost hiding behind the thick skinned Melyssa for protection. And look at the expression on the thick skinned Melyssa’s face…. she is ready to defend against anyone who tries to do them harm. The she’s defiantly showing her butt as an acknowledgment that” “yes this is what has made me famous but there’s alot more to me if you can get past me thick skin. This picture speaks so many thousands of words to me.

The truth is… if you really check it out the posters here on Bossip represent the full spectrum of the community. And alot of times if you really pay attention you’ll notice that what’s posted here is truly indicative of how the m*****es out there REALLY FEEL about a given topic. I don’t even really come here for Bossip’s posts but rather to check out how the posters feel about stuff (which I find much more entertaining).
The truth is not something that people in Hollywood encouter on a regular basis so I can see why they would have issues with sites like Bossip. But you as a publicist should recognize the importance of being in touch with the REAL pulse of the people.

@The Bear – you are absolutely correct. But, actually, the internet posts are much more harsh because people hide behind the anonymity of nicknames and image icons, than the response she gets when making public appearances. Hey, people are entitled to say whatever they want to say, and I recognize that. But what people post on these sites, which of course I read regularly, basically to see people’s reactions, whether they are supportive or not, but Bear, its a huge difference than the love and support she gets in public, whether she’s a panelist at an HIV awareness symposium, or a speaker at Howard University, or acted in a play…, the internet changed alot of things.

@ Team M Ford
When you meet people face to face they are almost always nicer. It is when people have anonymity that you get to find out how they REALLY feel. That is why marketers use anonymous focous groups. People ALWAYS act differently when they know they are being watched. Don’t you?

You need to see this medium for what it really is. It is a huge blessing to someone in your field. Now you can do more research and it costs you NADA!!! And the data and feedback you get here is way more reliable than you would get from any focus group. If you take these same bossipers and put them in a room and pay them and tell them that they are now part of a Melyssa Ford focus group we would all be telling you what a wonderful and virtuous image she portrays. Do you see what Im saying?

@ Team M Ford
In my perception the biggest challenge the team M Ford is faced with is expanding her public image so she is seen as more than a sex symbol. I’m certain you spend most of your days trying to figure out ways to achieve this.
But as you can tell from many of the posts here when people think of her most males think about how much they’d love to smack and tap that a$$. Females on the other hand resent her because they feel that she allows her body to be eexploited which results in disrespect in to community for women as a whole.
But when you see bossipers and other bloggers posts and they seem harsh just remember that they are only the messengers. Shooting the messenger will never change the essence of the message.
And what is that message you ask????
Your work is not done yet. You have quite a bit more work to do to change her image as a sex symbol.

@The Bear – this is something we’ve been working on for the last five years. As you know, her last music video was 5 yrs ago. What makes an image like this deemed to be exploitation? Is that the message this image sends? We are well aware we have alot of work to do.

I really admire the fact that she has choosen not to go the Anna Nicole Smith route and just totally sex up her image. I know that avenue was open to her and would have been much much easier. But she’s trying to choose the path of greater resistance. I appreciate that greatly….
Now if you would be so kind as to let me know how I could reach her directly I’d be more than glad to offer her plenty of… encouragement

Just kidding… but I had to give it a shot right???
What you have to remember is that it is a thousand times easier to place a perception into the human mind than it is to change that perception after it has already been formed. And negative perceptions are much much harder to erase than positive ones because people are alot moe apt to believe bad stuff.
Think about this… I’m sure you don’t personally know Charles Manson… right??? But media coverage has given you the perception for you that he is a homocidal maniac… right??? Now tell me what it would take to convince you that Charles Manson is really NOT a maniac?

The majority of the time when we see you, you are either shakin’ your a$$ in a video, doing a photoshoot with your a$$ tooted up in the air and/or you’re doing a spread eagle pose… AND when you’re FINALLY in front of a camera with a REAL photographer as opposed to a “pervert with a camera” what do you do = go back to what you’ve done throughout your whole career = do a pose showing your t*ts & a$$… SMMFH
Even when the former strippers = NeNe & Kim (Real Housewives of Atlanta) got their chance to do a photoshoot with Derrick Blanks they didn’t resort to their old “bread & butter”… But you in true Ho fashion did… SMH You see a camera and that’s all that comes mind = let me show my a$$ & t*ts… Is that ALL you’re about??? Is there anything else to you other than that???
You’re starting to get TOO OLD for that and while it has gotten you a little fame you obviously haven’t gotten NO FORTUNE – Dummy when are you going to give that sh*t up???
You’ve been in the business for 10+ years and haven’t really made anything happen, when are you going realize it’s not going to happen for you???
There are YOUNGER women on the scene with REAL *****, have a bigger a$$ and ACTUAL talent as opposed to making their a$$ clap in a rap video…
I thought in the photo it was supposed to depict your having thick skin??? What happened??? Why are you getting bothered by our comments – this is Bossip, WE GO IN!!!
You got your a$$ out and have a problem with people saying something about it… Get the f*ck outta here, you want to be respected do something respectable and STOP showing your a$$ and t*ts ALL THE DAMN TIME!!! You’ve been doing that sh*t for how long and look where it’s gotten you… Ni@@a please…

Ya’ll are crazy lol. Its not about being black or white. Its exactly what it narrates..thick skin vs thin skin. Crocodiles are known to have the thickest skin of mammals and they happen to be dark, so Melissa’s natural skin color blended with the croc coloring is very artistic; in contrast, visible veins and thin skin go hand in hand. The whiter the skin is, the easier it is to see the veins. lol, and hypothetically, even if the picture was about black/white, Melissa looks more like an albino than a white lady. Her facial features still look black. Ya’ll a trip

I see you Playboy…
And I raise my “Pimp Cup” to you and tip my hat…
I don’t blame you, she’s absolutely gorgeous and comes across as having a nice personality but it’s time for her to realize that her time has come and pa$$ed with respects to that “Video Vixen” bullsh*t… She’s made her mark in the game and she ain’t no “spring chicken” = there are LOTS of new chicks that are just as beautiful if not more beautiful that have bigger *****, bigger a$$es, flatter stomaches, etc… And they’ll suck more d*cks than she ever has to make it in the game…
To keep 1 hunid with you, when I came across that speech that she (Melyssa Accord) gave at Howard Uni. a month or 2 ago when she talked about her personal experience with Domestic Violence I actually forwarded it to “Boomquisha and ‘em”, excuse me Bossip Staff but they didn’t put it up for whatever reason… *shrugs shoulders* (*it’s their website and they can do whatever they want to do)… Point of me mentioning that is that I don’t have an issue with her…
Anyways, if Melyssa “Accord” comes back try and get her info so you y’all can chop it up offline… Good Luck with that!!!

@slide – *sigh* for the last time, I am NOT Melyssa, do you really think she herself will engage in this conversation with you. My initial reason for even posting was b/c reader’s interpretations were way off, making reference to her family life (mixed race), and turning it into a black/white race photo, which wasn’t the case. It was exactly as described THICK skin vs THIN skin. Now in regards to your other comments, they are ignorant, ignorance defined as misinformed. You are talking a whole lot, but its alot of misinformation. Melyssa hasn’t been in a video for 5 years, nor has she done a shoot with a men’s magazine since KING’s last issue, so the points you are bringing up have no validity and are spewing hatred towards her and for what? She’s done films “Good Hair”, “Three Can Play that Game”, plays, (among other work yet to be released or on DVD) and if you sent in the footage of her speaking at Howard U, then you have bore witness to her transition yourself. If you don’t have an issue with her, then why are you saying such negative things? This photo was artistic and supposed to convey a message and jeez, I guess I need thick skin too, better her than me, b/c she can take way more than what you all have given to me in ONE day.

@slide – and you bring up the housewives of Altanta, Nene (former stripper) didn’t resort to her old “bread and butter”…., her alter was a stripper. ? And even so, the pic isn’t for judgment, it’s just making a statement. It’s art. I already said to each his own, if people like it they like it, of they don’t they don’t, they say what they want, all I did was I just posted her blog from global grind and the concept behind the shoot and it became and turned into a whirlwind stage F5 tornado of negativity. Pardon me at my attempt to give it some understanding.

This is M Fords expertise, being nude *****ody gives a damn about a word that comes out her mouth…just show that a$$ HOE!!

@Team M Ford
Melyssa “Accord” if you are trying to change your image then why am I seeing her a$$ & t*ts again just as I have seen for the last 10+ years???
You couldn’t convey your message about “thick vs. thin skin” without showing your a$$ & t*ts???
As a man, I LOVE a$$ & t*ts but it’s CRYSTAL CLEAR that you have “low self esteem” and feel as though the ONLY way to bring attention to yourself is to show your a$$ & t*ts as you’ve done for the MAJORITY of your career in the entertainment field!!!
YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT SIS!!!
YOU are INTELLIGENT, you do an AWESOME job when you host those various shows, programs and red carpet events, you carry yourself well and like a LADY, you speak well and on top of that are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! If you’re trying to do that type of stuff as a career I BELIEVE in you and feel as though you have what it takes to make it, you’re big break is probably right around the corner!!!
HOWEVER, whenever I see you more times than not it’s = a$$ & t*ts… When I opened the thread what did I see = a$$ crack!!!
Please take a break from it, I know there’s MORE TO YOU than that!!!
Think about it, when people think of Melyssa Ford the first thing that comes to mind is you shakin’ your a$$, ***** and a$$… Not the other things that you want to be known for and would be proud to show EVERYBODY (*think Grandma), but that’s what happens when you do the same thing for 10+ years…
Yes you are sexy & VERY attractive = WE GOT THAT and there’s more than enough photos to prove that without a shadow of a doubt, but please show us your GROWTH as an individual and a Sista that is ABOUT SOMETHING and can be a role model to the lil’ Sistas and can inspire them to do more and make something out of themselves…

@slide – ok, I understand your point. Again, I’m NOT Melyssa, and her name is not accord, c’mon that’s just a cruel joke, yet I am taking your viewpoint into serious consideration as we are TRYING to change her image, however, she’s not showing her t’s* and Bossip chose to post this one image but go on her facebook page (the real one, melyssafordbookings) and you will see the other images are cropped from waist up. What you see in frontal view is supposed to show b/c the skin is peeled back to show the heart. Like I said, she’s been doing more and other things including a lot of charity work, but I get your everything you said, definitely will take note.
Appreciate the conversation Slide. (serious, not being sarcastic)

I mean, her a*s*s*ets is how she makes her bread & butter…. She’s not an actress, so showing her a*s*s is what she does best…. Many white “pin up” girls show their a*s*ses throughout their career, so I don’t see anything wrong with it. In terms of “growth” showing a reptile back and butt IS growth for Melyssa!

Her vulnerable self looks stronger than her “strong thick skin” self
No offense… BUT …. BOOOOO to everyone who thinks this is FLY… I was feeling her when she was serving chicken to homeless people! That was sexy to me… if that was her alter ego the photo would of been beautiful…. but she had to show her a$$ again… and lessens the quality and substance of what it really is suppose to be about… What is suppose to be a strong representation… ends up looking weak…. While her vulnerable self looks strong

I admit I would not come off as disrespectful to Mz. Ford in her face or any one unless they got disrespectful, but just because people smile in your face, that doesn’t mean they like you.
I respect anyone who does a good thing, even Mz. Ford, but while I wouldn’t say this to her face (unless we where together and in privacy), I love the shape of her Azz.
I think the concept of the image is cliche’ but relevant, I am an artist by education, I personally and not impressed by the work as a whole, but I respect the artist and the creativity that went into it.
I just wish I was the artist, not only would work would be higher quality, I would put so much more love into it (in a respectful way)
