Blinging: A ‘hip-hop honey’ clutches a cigar during the filming of a music video
Exploring the world of America’s hip hop video vixens, ‘Hip-hop Honeys‘ was shot by photographer Brian Finke, who has become popular for his previous portraits of cheerleaders, body-builders and frat boys.
According to the DailyMail, he captured the glamorous extras behind-the-scenes at video shoots in a variety of locations including a Park Avenue hotel room and a Harlem cigar bar. The music video ladies posed up for the camera, dripping in diamond-encrusted crosses and statement earrings. Most extras wore extremely tight cropped tops and tiny shorts while others had stripped down to racy lingerie.
