HEM/HD CLASS OF 2006
Once again, Happy New Year to all of our friends, family, and supporters! Hope you all are being blessed, following those New Year’s resolutions, and making moves! It’s a New Year and it’s time for HATKA ENT. & THE HONEYDRIPPER to recharge and continue are ongoing mission of providing you with the 129° of entertainment that you’ve grown accustomed to seeing from us.
What better way to do so than to introduce you to our latest group of HEM HoneyDripper models! For the past few months, we’ve been blessed to come across nine of the most loveliest, driven, aspiring models/talent on the rise in today’s industry. Here’s a brief introduction of each young lady as they appear above from left to right.
Teretta Cleveland… This beautiful diva and aspiring actress from Dallas, TX has been bubbling under the radar for quite some time. We’re beyond excited to have her on the team and you should definitely look for her in 2006 as she is destined for big things. You can currently check for Teretta in Rico Love’s new video for his single ‘Settle Down’, which is featured on the soundtrack for Usher’s latest movie ‘In The Mix’. Teretta’s the young lady getting her ‘fast and furious’ on with Rico in the video. Make sure you stop by to check out Teretta’s official website at www.teretta.net.
Fabiola Maria Calixte…F-A-B-I-O-L-A or Fab as we love to call her is the veteran of the group. When she’s not appearing in videos for artist such as T.I., Young Jeezy, Jazze Pha, Ceelo or calendar’s for The Edge or MoGirls USA, you can catch her at her post as an A&R for Dollhouse Records, one of the hottest new independent record labels bubbling in the ATL today. Look for Fab in the near future as she currently has videos for PSC f/T.I. and Elite awaiting release.
Teisha & Teia Favors…having a set of wonder twins is never a bad thing for an agency and we have been blessed enough to add a lovely set of our own by the names of Teia and Teisha. These young ladies have been flying under the radar ever since their debut in Black Men’s 2004 College Girls of The South issue. It’s all good though because we’re here to bring them back to the forefront. When they’re not busy pursuing degrees at Georgia Southern University you can catch them on the modeling scene in Atlanta. Make sure you check out their most recent appearance in the video for The Purple Ribbon All Star’s single ‘Kryptonite’.
Karen Williams…Ms. Williams is one of the two viva Las Vegas divas we acquired over the past few months and for those of you that love to gamble a lil, Karen’s definitely a sure bet! Karen’s upside is tremendous and her potential is endless. You can currently view Karen’s work in music videos for The Purple Ribbon All-Stars single ‘Kryptonite’, Jazze Pha f/Ceelo ‘Happy Hour’, Tango Redd ‘Let’s Cheat’ as well as in print for StreetMasters Magazine Issue #11.
Kim Pae…part two of the Las Vegas connection. Kim may be small in stature but she’s big in presence and promise. If you don’t believe us, check how diligently she counts Method Man’s flow in Ashanti’s video for her new single ‘Still On It’, which also features Houston’s own Paul Wall. You can also check Kim out in current videos for The Purple Ribbon All-Stars ‘Kryptonite’, Jazze Pha f/Ceelo ‘Happy Hour’, and Field Mobb’s ‘Friday Night’.
Leeann Helijas…Most of our talent currently resides in the Southern or Western US so we thought it only fitting to pull in a couple of northern beauties to make the roster well rounded. First up is Ms. Leeann Helijas. We don’t think you’re ready for this one. Not only is she gorgeous with a look to put the modeling scene on blaze, but she’s also another intelligent diva whom currently attends the University of Albany in New York. We haven’t even begun to jump things off with Leeann so make sure you stay tuned because the impact of her debut will be like whoa!
Krystyne Rivera…staying with our northern exposure theme we introduce Lil Ms. Krystyne. Our youngest HD to date, Krystyne as already blazed the pages of King Magazine and most recently she appeared in Smooth Magazine’s – Smooth Girl Latina Issue. For those that have the issue, check the ‘Model Citizen’ feature to check what Ms. Rivera has to offer. Definitely be on the watch for big things from this beautiful mami. Special thanks to Ms. Kharisma Gray Gonzalez for bring Krystyne to our attention!
Erika Williford… you always end strong and Ms. Williford is just that…strong!! We fell in love with her upon sight and thus far, she’s had the same effect on those that have come across her path. She’s already made her mark in several projects for notable musical artists and 2006 promises to be even bigger for her. We’re looking forward to her ascent. Good looking out Tae Tae!
So, now you see how we bring it. Not only are these ladies beautiful, but they are also highly educated and driven which is key in this sometimes murky world of entertainment. If we brought you anything else, we would be going against or principles, which are to please our fans and supporters by supplying quality product, always, every time.
Whew…we’re tired now so it’s time to take a break, but before we end, we’d like to encourage you to click on the beautiful picture of HD Adenike Harris, which is on the left, and check out all the current galleries of our HD models. We’ve updated quite a few of the profiles with new pics and stats so make sure you browse the site for new updates.
As always, God bless!

HOTTEST CALENDARS OF 2006
As the New Year arrives, calendars for the New Year always seem to be the novelty, especially the ones featuring the hottest ladies. So, keeping with our vision and commitment to promote exemplary work of our colleagues in the industry, we’d like to recommend some choice calendar selections for the 2006 designed and developed by respected friends of HEM/HD, that are sure to perk you up in the morning and relieve your tension at the end of the day.
2006 Atlanta Dymes Calendar
The ‘Power 30’ man Randall Dunn has been putting in work on the Atlanta Dymes Calendar for five years now and each year he amazes us even more. This year’s 5th Anniversary Edition doesn’t disappoint as it features Atlanta Dyme greats such as Sincerely Ward, Tomika Skanes, April Clark, and The Glenn Twins just to name a few. If you haven’t blessed yourself with a copy of this edition, make sure you do so by clicking on the cover of the calendar pictured above. Your year will be so much sweeter if you do.
2006 MoGirls USA Calendar - All-Star Heroines
No only is Mr. Dunn celebrating a 5th Anniversary, but our man Marques Owens is also ringing in the 2006 with the 5th Anniversary Edition of his annual MoGirls USA calendar. If you’re in need of a super hero, this is the calendar for you as Mo has reunited some of the greatest adventurers in MoGirls history to save your days and brighten your nights. Featuring classic MoGirls such as Dayana Jamine, Tonya Morris, Tiffany Webb, and HD alum Nina Nicole...this calendar is a definite must have.

So, once again, if you’re in trouble and in need of a hero, click on the image of the calendar cover above to purchase your copy.
2006 Seagram's Gin Calendar
This calendar is a joy each year and for you Seagram’s connoisseurs, this calendar may be the perfect visual as you wind down with a glass of Seagram’s Exotica. To make it even sweeter, two of our very own HEM HoneyDripper grace the pages of this edition. You can view Ms. Darlene Crawford as Ms. February and Ms. Linda Brenner as Ms. September. Congrats to both ladies!

And remember, you must be 18 or over <LOL>.
2006 Jet Beauty Calendar
Jet Magazine has been putting it down each week since 1951 with their beautiful display of Jet Beauties. The ladies that have graced the pages of Jet as a ‘Jet Beauty’ have become life institutions in men’s bedrooms, lockers, barbershops, dormrooms, etc. across the country. So it was only natural for Jet to put out their own annual Jet Beauty Calendar. The 2006 Edition is definitely a must have and wouldn’t you know…it once again features one of our very own HEM/HD models, Ms. Vanna Black as Ms. January. Vanna’s looks as good as ever as her picture above indicates. She’s on a rapid ascension in the entertainment industry and we are very proud of the hard work she puts in as a musical artist and rising model. So, you might as well go ahead and click on the calendar image above and once again, buy a copy. Don’t regret that you didn’t purchase this keepsake.
2006 Maria More Calendar - Do You Want More?
I thought the above quote from the world famous Roots crew was appropriate for our HD star on the rise, Maria More. Not only does Ms. More have an infinite love for hip-hop music, but she also does a little modeling on the side for those of you that forgot. Maria and well known Atlanta based photographer, Craig Sims, put in exemplary work on this calendar and it’s definitely a must have for your collection. So, with that said, go ahead and click on the calendar image of Maria above, show some love, and purchase a copy.
The Time Has Come To 'Show'
This is a special announcement from the good folks of HATKA Entertainmet & The HoneyDripper L.L.C…our friend and colleague Sean Cummings, former Editorial Director for Smooth Magazine, has launched his very own magazine venture titled Show. For the many of you that are familiar with the quality of work Mr. Cummings displayed via his work at Smooth, you know Show is destined to become one of the premiere magazines in the market today and as the sub-title suggests, an avenue where models take centerstage.
I suggest you go ahead and click on the preview image provided above to reserve your copy of the premiere issue.
