Showcase # 1, 2009, Premier Issue Magazine

INTRODUCTION
The World of Glamour, as we know it, has forever changed! We now enter an era of superior lighting technique, cinematic imagery, digital perfection and heightened production value, pre and post. Thanks to our pioneering collaboration with Photography Director Nick Saglimbeni and his Slickorce Studio, this collection of startling images with its precise clarity, exemplary styling, and magnificent presentation has propelled our offerings into the pantheon of great visual publications. SHOWCase is a gigantic leap forward into the realm of high-end glam. It is a wonderful masterpiece of photographic artistry. I would like to thank Vanessa, Laura, the entire crew, graphic designer Von Jackson, our distributors and other vendors and partners, the entire Cummings Media family and especially Nick for bringing this dream of a magazine to fruition. So, thank you.
It is only appropriate, seeing that this is the Premier issue of SHOWCase, that the two young ladies featured both starred in the original issue of SHOW: The Art of Sexy. Vanessa Veasley has recently ascended to the upper echelon of top models. Her debut feature in SHOW #1 was her first magazine feature and still one of our finest. Vanessa's cover of Black Lingerie #4 is a sight to behold and a perfect depiction of beauty and class. Thanks to Ms. Veasley, Nick and the crew, nothing like this SHOWCase has ever been remotely accomplished by any of our pears, past or present. Vanessa deserves this distinguished honor more so than any model I have ever worked with, and she stepped up to the plate and hit it straight out of the park on the first swing! I feel completely comfortable saying, and I believe I am a bit of an authority in this area, that not one of her contemporaries has ever put together a published performance quite like this one, ever.
Laura Doré aka Sweetie Cyanide is poised to have a breakout year. She is already very accomplished and a part of modeling's elite. A SHOW Girl from day one, Laura sent shockwaves through the industry with her ridiculously proportioned body as seen in her first full feature in SHOW issue 2. She became an Internet sensation around the same time, referred to as the "girl with the eight pack abs". Laura's momentum grew exponentially with her super hot cover of Black Lingerie #4. Sweetie, as I have always called her, has morphed into an excitingly dangerous beauty. Always stunning, of course, she has now arrived as a dynamic personality. This recognition of outstanding achievement (SHOWCase) or what can be looked at as the equivalent of a GRAMMY for models, is bestowed upon Sweetie Cyanide for one simple reason, the fans have demanded it! We always welcome the opportunity to please our valued readers and hope to do this many more times.
Let the SHOW begin!
