NEXTHOTTHANG IN MODELING/VIDEO VIXENS

I WANT TO BECOME A VIDEO VIXEN! HOW CAN I?:
Video Vixens are now treated like celebrities in our society and are more identifiable to the media then some of our politicians. They receive instant gratification to an elite club that once never existed. Women are turned on by the appeal and attention that it instantly brings. Immediately these girls are catapulted into the limelight and get invitations to the hottest parties, modeling contracts, book deals to write about their escapades, dates with wealthy celebrities, and extreme media coverage.
It seems like these days more aspiring models are literally using their bodies to break into the modeling industry. While I don't think this concept is new, I do think with the Internet and influx of reality shows that more women are becoming bolder than ever to get attention. They have taken Girls Gone Wild to a different level.
Your Assets 
If you are not born with enhanced features no problem. All one has to do now is go and get some extreme plastic surgery and enlarge their assets. The bigger your assets the more fame is sure to come your way. Plastic surgeons once had a conscience but now it is all about the money. If you have access to cash, you can get just about any surgery your heart imagines. If you can't find a surgeon to do it in the United States, well there's always another country where you can probably get the procedure at a discount.
Mission Accomplished 
Once you have your enhancements instantly you'll be considered as feature models in the music videos. Once you start doing music videos and getting more exposure doors just seem to fly open. Some women then go on to acting, calendars, hosting parties, reality shows, etc. Women do get their five minutes of fame and some video vixens are successfully able to sustain it.
LisaRaye, Melyssa Ford, Karrine Steffans, Coco, and Amber Rose are all former Video Vixens who are quite successful today. They were more than just a beautiful face and body. They seized the moment and used this as a stepping stone to get to the next level.
LisaRaye had a short stint at acting and was the First Lady of Turks and Caicos until her recent public divorce. Melyssa Ford is doing quite well for herself. She is doing lots of acting now and is working on producing a couple of films. In a recent interview she said that it is still hard to remove the stigma of video vixen even after many years of not doing music videos. She takes it with a grain of salt and keeps moving forward. Karrine Steffans is a three-time New York Times best-selling author. She continues to write about all of her escapades and is creating her own brand. Her most recent book entitled The Vixen Manual: How to Find, Seduce and Keep the Man you Want is flying off of shelves. Coco married former rapper Ice-T and Amber Rose is the on/off again boyfriend of rapper Kanye West who just signed with Ford Models need I say more.
Tips 
Make sure you live in an area such as Miami, New York or California where the videos are being shot at. Video Vixens definitely can't be shy and should be outgoing and their bodies must be in excellent shape.
If you are interested in becoming a Video Vixen I recommend you take a look at http://www.ethnicitymodels.com this agency specializes in this segment of the industry. Many of the models with this agency possess multiple degrees and run their own businesses.

VIDEO VIXENS VERSUS MODELS
:








Fad
What is the allure of Video Vixens? Is it their voluptuous bodies or the rich and powerful men who lose their minds when they see one. Rock and Roll artists were synonymous with models in the 80's. Christine Brinkley, Heather Locklear and many other models were all married to men in the industry. Nowadays it's the rappers that are dating the Vixens, but they are not marrying them. Rappers take the models more seriously and some had taken it as far as getting married. Rappers make a mockery out of Vixens and pass them around to their friends like they are playing hot potato. The women don't seem to care or even be bothered by it because they are tweeting about it and posting pictures all over the place exposing themselves.
Your Choice
Video Vixens are now synonymous with women of the night. Video Vixens seem to push the envelope, while Models create an illusion. Video Vixens bear it all and the Models leave something to the imagination. Most Video Vixens are on the thick side, while most Models are slender in statue.
If you are on the thicker side rest assured because now is your time to model. Don't sell yourself out just to break into the industry. The industry is looking for real women and I'm sorry but women with inflated body parts are not it. If you fit this category seriously contact some agencies in your area and inquire about full figure modeling. There are more opportunities available then you realize. Marilyn Monroe seems to be the ideal type that must women are trying to emulate. It is not clear whether or not if Marilyn had plastic surgery or not. Reports claim that she only had a nose job. These days it is uncommon for a women not to have had any type of plastic surgery.
I recommend that you go against the grain. Be different or you will just look like everyone else. Whether you decide to become a Video Vixen or get into modeling you have to march at your own beat. Stop thinking about instant gratification and think about the impact that your decision will have on your life later. Society is forgiving but do you want to be known as the chick from the video. If you possess true talent outside of having a gorgeous figure, it may be worth it but if you don't think twice. Vanessa L. Williams bounced back after the scandal broke which cost her the title of Miss America. Again she had true talent and didn't rely on just her beauty.

HOW TO USE SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR MODELING:




Are you tired of all of the social networks that keep on popping up? Folks seem compelled to tell you their every move on Twitter. This could be because you are using them incorrectly. Social networks are great business tools and if used properly can help you get discovered.
Ning, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, AND LinkedIn are just some of the popular groups. These are not even including the specific industry ones such as One Models Place, and Model Mayhem as it relates to the modeling industry. You can even create your own personal community through Ning.
Every day it seems like a new social network pops up. There are so many of them now that I can't even count. They don't seem to be going anywhere and are in fact growing in popularity. I remember when I first heard about Twitter, Shaquille O'Neal was using it. Since then everyone is on it and not just celebrities. I joined and have met several aspiring and professional models on there who use it to network with other models.
The name of the game now is real estate. If you have a business or are thinking of starting one you should seriously go to all of the above sites mentioned and open up an account to provide consistency across the board to create your brand.
Don't just stop there, make sure you go on You Tube and create your own channel too. If you look at most websites now you'll notice that they all have links leading you right to their social media communities.
While I think social networks are great, you still lose the component of face to face communication. When was the last time you received an actual letter in the mail?
All of the above mentioned websites are great tools to help you create your on-line presence and then you can make your personal connections.
Social mediums are a great way if you are interested in becoming a Video Vixen. A lot of the popular vixens started out by doing their own self promotion on these various sites. It is so easy to create a calendar of yourself and then just market it to the masses on these sites. Hook up with PayPal and then you can sell it right from your own site. This will give you a lot of visibility which is important if you want to break into the Video Vixen market.
I've also noticed lately that a lot of companies are having on-line modeling contests. This requires the participants to go on-line and register and post their pictures. The participant then has to let their friends and families know and invite them to go on-line and vote for them. Typically you can only vote once a day. If you think about it companies are saving a lot of advertising dollars by doing this right on their website. Participants can make it easy on themselves by being a member of several social communities. Think about it, with a couple of clicks you can let everyone know what you're doing and ask them to vote for you.
To date, my favorite networking site is Talent House This is a great place to find legitimate on-line modeling contests. I also think SayNow is a great tool too.
Don't delay join as many social networks as soon as possible.

MY CURVES SAY "SEX":



The curvy model world has myriad of categories such as commercial, fashion, glamor and many others. The most controversial section of the industry seems to be the "urban" model category. Some of these woman can also be referred to as "video vixens". While they are just as hardworking as any other woman, they do not receive as much recognition or respect as a commercial or glamor model. The video vixens stigma has been praised and degraded and keeps coming back for more. Year after year the curves get more rotund and the scandals sweep the headlines. As a curvy women myself, I have to think of this from both perspectives.
Plusmodels.com published general requirements for a plus size model, "Proportionate. You should be in proportion. Your bust, waist and hips should be about ten inches apart in size (i.e. 42-32-42) or very close. In addition, the shorter you are, the smaller your size should be. Someone who is 5'8" would be expected to wear a smaller size (12/14) than a taller model. It is all about length and proportion." So much for my career as a plus model. At 5'6" and a 36H-38-52 frame, I'm sure Willamina wont be calling me in any time soon. While there are many woman in the world fitting that description, there are others who may be OUT of proportion. Melyssa Ford for example is 5'4" with a 34D-20-38 frame but maintains a prominent position in the urban model industry. The same goes for Buffie "The Body" Carruth standing at 5'7" with an amazing body measuring at 34C-28-44. Neither of these ladies fit the mold for plus model but have very lucrative careers.
On the other hand, women such as Melyssa and Buffie have been disgraced and attacked by the media. They are accused of promoting anti-feministic, and immoral depictions of the Black women. These women can't deny they do not portray us extra curvy Black women in a positive light. In the July 2008 CNN Interview, Melyssa admits, that Hip Hop videos are demeaning to women. But when you don't qualify for the more commercial gigs where do you turn?
I do not condone demeaning women in any light or the constant billboard of "SEX HERE" that video vixens promote, but I myself, have been told that because of my shape (pre-pregnancy) I "would be more appreciated in the pin-up/vixen" community". When do my curves get a say in the image I'm "proportioned" to portray?
