Jill Scott Nymphs it Up in Allure
"It took a lot to stand there naked in front of strangers and try to be
comfortable and carefree. But I did it - and I'd do it again." -- Jill ScottSo now we have it. Back in January we heard that Jill Scott was posing in the buff for Allure magazine, and thanks to our friends at Urban-Hoopla, we have the photo. My opinion? Jill was shorted, not only of clothes but basically of a good shot, which is self-defeating. If the intent was to highlight her beauty, they've instead hidden it behind the bushes. We've seen more of her lovely curves in a full dress. Tasteful, perhaps. But cowardly. She's still sexy though. Click to enlarge. [U-H]

I've written it b4, and I'll write it again - they stuck Jill behind some tweeds and made it look like a bad soft porn cover or a 70s magazine ad for tampons! Airbrushed the heck out of the pic and messed up her hair and what's with the sun behind her????? You can't even see Jill's body. AWFUL!
NO! | April 24, 2008 11:29 PM | PermalinkCool pic, still like Scott alot but honestly the pic is wack. If she hadn't dropped a couple of pounds she would have never done this pic and it doesn't show squat so they need to stop say naked. It just another trying to be hot pic

martine | April 22, 2008 4:08 PM | Permalinkthey might as well have put a floral dress on Jill. This is not fair...it's almost like they regret the decision to feature her once they got to photoshoppin it.
Love | April 22, 2008 12:04 PM | PermalinkMe no likey this picture...I'm proud of her for doing it, but...
There is so much that could have been done to enhance Jill's beauty...and what's up with that hair?!
MarvalusOne | April 22, 2008 10:11 AM | Permalinkwait...I had to come back for this
She's just a big girl that got naked, and she acts like she saved the world.
*dead*
DJ Diva | April 21, 2008 9:52 PM | PermalinkI agree with Butta...Mister Jay would have had her looking "fierce"! Instead she looks like a hot tranny mess! (too much Project Runway)
Seriously? too much makeup and not enough hairdressing time! And the lighting is awful!
DJ Diva | April 21, 2008 9:44 PM | PermalinkMonique and anyone who believes what she says about skinny woman are losers. Be big and beautiful but don't hate on us little and lovely ladies:)
The picture is OK, just OK. Doesn't really show her true beauty, they could've done better.
Jennifer | April 21, 2008 9:39 PM | PermalinkThe photo editors did not do any justice to Jill Scott at all! I give her props for shedding clothes for the whole world to see.
Chi-Chi | April 21, 2008 5:18 PM | Permalink@ Viv:
It's funny because in this flic, Jill has her arms spread, letting the twins all hang out, while Gabby Union is doing the demure look and covering her puppies up. Glad to see Jill's boldness is front and center, despite Allure's choice to cover her up.
ill Mami | April 21, 2008 3:48 PM | PermalinkCut it out, Butta re: Mister Jay.
Where's Mark Baptiste when you need him?
Yea they had Gabby Union's size 2/ B cups all front and center. What's with all the foliage?
The hair is indeed awkward. Looks like a press and set on pink sponge rollers. Bring back the 'hawk!
Where's the Prince animated side eye when you need it?
Vivrant Thang | April 21, 2008 3:35 PM | PermalinkBooo @ this photo. It does nothing for Jill's sexy. They needed Mister Jay to direct this shoot.
Butta | April 21, 2008 2:55 PM | PermalinkIs this what's hot in the streets? This pic gets an "F" and I am a big (pun intended) Jilly fan. Who ever set this shot up should be shot. The hair is awkward, the lighting is horrendous and YES, I've seen more curves at a cologne counter.
There must be better pics from this session.
Fave | April 21, 2008 2:02 PM | PermalinkI would drink Jill's bath water. Not only is she a beautiful sista but hella sexy. As Monique said skinny women are evil and should be destroyed:)
stoneyisland | April 21, 2008 2:01 PM | PermalinkShe's just a big girl that got naked, and she acts like she saved the world. Boooo. I agree if she was going to publish her nakedness, they could've chosen a better pic.
AmiJane | April 21, 2008 1:51 PM | PermalinkIs this what Allure magazine thinsk of curvy women? None of the size 2 samples will fit them, so let's hide her behind shrubbery!?!? Jill is so beautiful! I can barely see her face!
Shame.
ill Mami | April 21, 2008 1:47 PM | PermalinkThis picture in no way does justice to the beauty we know is Jill Scott. Surely there were better photos from the shoot?
