From Castings To Conferences: Four Business Savvy Video Vixens
Video vixens are changing the face of modeling for the better. From cosmetic companies to clothing lines, more and more vixens are setting their bikinis aside for pants suits and blazers as they step into the "business" side of modeling.
Vanessa Posso (It's Rich Girlz)
You may not know the name and you have most likely seen her in a rap video or two but you have definitely seen her jewelry while watching your favorite reality tv show. Vanessa took her love for large hoop earrings and turned it into a lucrative accessories boutique called Its Rich Girlz. She now sells bracelets, rings, necklaces as well. Her jewelry has been worn by Love and Hip-Hop NY cast members, celebs including Draya (during a few clips/episodes of BBW LA Season 2), on magazine covers and more. My favorite quote from her is “If you have a passion for something be the BEST at it and chase it”.
Keyshia Ka'oir (Ka'oir Cosmetics)
Instead of waiting around for a contract with a cosmetic company (which seems to be coveted for fashion models), Keyshia Dior created her own cosmetic company called Ka'oir. She started with a handful of brightly colored lipsticks and now has a nearly complete line ranging from lip gloss to eye shadow. Her latest business strategy was teaming up with The Jersey Shore's Snookie, to create a lipstick color called "Snookilicious".
Rosa Acosta (Body By Rosa Acosta)
Rosa was, and still is, one of the rare video vixens to embrace and promote healthy eating, fitness and exercising. Rosa is a trained ballerina turned video model who became known for her insane flexibility. After landing endorsement deals with urban wear company T.I.T.S (Two in the Shirt) and 9Five Eyewear, earlier this year Rosa launched her own line of cute and colorful active wear called Body by Rosa Acosta. She was also named the Video Model of The Decade by King Magazine.
Amber Rose
Amber has come a long way since being the blonde girl with the buzz cut in that Ludacris video years ago. While Amber has spent most of career being known as Wiz Khalifa or Kanye's boo-thang, she landed a multitude of endorsements deals including a national ad campaign with Smirnoff Vodka and Ford Modeling Contract.
How do you feel about video models in the corporate world?
I would love your input :-)

I think its wonderful that these ladies have found more positive ways to be known rather than just a video vixens but their human not aliens! Most women that end up as video vixens or in the adult entertainment industry have a story like we all do and sometimes just dont have the guidance or knowledge to bypass what I call the "fast life". Its great to see these ladies on a more positive light because they bring hope to women who are still in "fast life" that there better ways out here for us women to shine than our bodies!

Hi Keyshia! Thanks for the comment. Draya and Malaysia (she used to be a video model as well) are definitely boss chicks :-) I'll update with them and a few others.

Hi T'Nae thanks for the post! These ladies are definitely raising the bar in the modeling world and are role models as well for so many younger girls. I love it. They're setting an example by letting the new comers know that you can be a "bad chick" but why stop there? Take it step further... be a "boss chick".
