Serious dance training is an excellent preparation for a young lady about to sally forth into the big, bad world. The hours of stretching and all that frenetic leaping and bounding teach a budding woman to be resilient, to move with grace through the rough patches, to set her sights high and keep her chin up, and also to remain whippet thin with a pair of buttocks high and solid like God’s own throw pillows. Downhome brown-sugar sweetie Elise Neal from Memphis, Tennessee, was a disciplined, whip-sharp dancer before she ever did her first music video shimmy or melted the cool of basketball Hall of Famer George “Iceman” Gervin in a campaign for Nike shoes. The propulsive explosiveness from those long-gone dancing days lifted Elise to two seasons on SeaQuest DSV, four years starring on The Hughleys, and sassy, classy movie credits such as Scream 2 (1997) and Playas Ball (2003). But Mr. Skin is most interested in her CBS guest spot from 1995. In a boob tube breakthrough, brave Elise bared her chest along with her soul as a breast cancer survivor on the edgy medical drama Chicago Hope. She and the producers intended to show women nationwide that they can have a sweet-looking rack despite suffering from cancer and undergoing skin grafts. That’s right: they showed nudity on network TV! Elise’s beauties overflow with hope to spare. Her second-best skindeavor happened quite recently, in the biopic Love Ranch (2010), wherein she plays a scantily-clad stripper. We’d love to cop a feel of Ms. Neal!
