It&#8217;s Tonto Dikeh dressed as I-don&#8217;t-know-what. There&#8217;s a concept and theme to this photoshoot; I (and many, many others) just haven&#8217;t figured it out yet. She&#8217;s in a leopard print jump suit, sitting on an old vehicle (a jeep?), and with two little dogs at her feet. Theoretically, the leopard has its spots for\u00a0camouflage. The spots help the leopard to hide when it goes hunting. With Tonto sitting on this vehicle &#8230; in the open space &#8230; with the dogs &#8230; not much of a camouflage, is it? But perhaps, she&#8217;s not wearing it for camouflage. The reason why she&#8217;s wearing this outfit, sitting on this SUV, with that hair, with those shoes, and with those dogs is because there&#8217;s a concept to this &#8220;photoshoot.&#8221; We&#8217;ll figure it out eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Before you check out the pictures, I should say that if this is a photoshoot, then that means these are not the official photos &#8211; I hope. If these aren&#8217;t the\u00a0official\u00a0photos, then who took these pictures, and why are they circulating the web?
