The red hot male models of Red NYC and the new reality show Model City channel the mod and sophisticated aesthetic of the iconic 'Rat Pack' for Uptown. Sumner Dilworth lensed the retro glam editorial that features Rod 2.0 faves (L TO R) Salieu Jalloh, Nelson Nieves, Ibrahim Baaith, Shawn Sutton and Wendell Lissimore.
The photography, models and styling are ferosh. More images WHEN YOU JUMP ...
The styling is by Memsor Kamarake, the former Vibe fashion director who produced those seriously sexy beefcake editorials.
Awesome.

I love these beautiful black men and love this new Model City show.
And yes, Rod was chatting up these men at least two or more years ago.
I hope all of these gorgeous men are succesful and realize their dreams!

So many of these photos are frameable. Great work and I already LOVE UPTOWN MAGAZINE!
Am I the only one who doesn't really get into Wendell THAT much? I mean, he's a very handsome brother and he does his thing really well, but he looks so much like Celeste, his girlfriend, that it's a bit off-putting.
But anyway, I love the swag of this layout AND these guys, especially that young brother trying to reconcile with his father! He's amazing and I love Ibrahim, but they all have their own superstar light!

love the show my favorite is Salieu as a model I think Wendell and Ibrahim are the sexiest. Sesilee Lopez is Wendells girlfriend on the show...what a pretty couple.
Where is the only OPENLY gay model Zeric...?
