Uldouz Wallace.

Uldouz Wallace is a rare find, even on a blog known for its rare finds. When I say a rare find, that doesn’t mean Ms. Wallace’s resume is short, because it’s not. Uldouz has graced the pages of Show Magazine, Dub Magazine, Batchelor Magazine, 944 Magazine, and Streetlow Magazine, not to mention appearing on show/movies like Good Luck Chuck, Smallville, and The L Word. (And trust me, the list goes on). Not only has she finished her Masters in Marketing and Advertising, and earned a Business Administration degree as well as an Acting Diploma at the age of 25, but she’s traveled the world. The thing I feel that makes Uldouz Wallace stand out the most to me is her ability as a model to capture the camera as well as she does, regardless of the shoot, premise, photographer, concept or wardrobe. Not too many urban models are diverse enough to be incredible sexy while remaining fully clothed, and having nothing else than a glance and a smile. (But her being half naked is also awesome, which is why I gave her the longest model post to date.)

This 5 foot 5, 34B-23-37 beauty was born in Teheran, Iran. Uldouz parents moved to Uppsala, Sweden when she was 5 years old, when she turned 9 years old she moved to Stockholm, Sweden. In her journey from Iran to Sweden she was still able to maintain the language Farsi (Persian) as well as learning the languages Swedish, English, and French fluently. When she lived in Vancouver, Canada Uldouz fell into the world of modeling and acting, she was (among all the things I listed earlier) the main spokes model for the Brazilian Brahma Beer and Coca Colas Tab Energy Drink. From what I’ve seen, Ms. Wallace is way more than just a gorgeous face, (and incredible body), she’s intelligent, multifaceted , and is someone I for sure wouldn’t mind working with on anything in the future.

Jay Vanity.

In my book, there’s a huge difference between being attractive and having sex appeal. Jennifer Lopez is attractive, she’s beautiful, and is the type of person I’d be ecstatic to be in the same room with. Lisa Ann however has a ridculous amount of sex appeal, but some wouldn’t necessarily put her in the same spectrum as Mrs. Lopez. Finding a balance between attractive, and sexy is always good, but Jay Vanity is off the charts with both those qualities. Jay says she’s got a good attitude to accompany her stunning looks, and when working with a professional model, there’s nothing more satisfying than having fun with the people your shooting. Ms. Vanity has appeared in Show Magazine, done work for Dstroyr Clothing, and has been a Capristan swim suit model, but personally I’d like to see a lot more of her. Check out some of her work below.

Nia Valentine.

The incredible miss Nia Valentine is a model out of the UK that was brought to my attention by my boy Max (who’d kill me if I didn’t shout him out) Max as an affinity for beautiful women of mixed decent, and Nia Valentine for sure fits the bill. East African, Arabic, Irish and Indian allow Valentine to pass for almost any ethnicity when she’s in front of the camera. Nia, who’s real name is Grainne Ni-Fhloinn has experience in editorial, runway, music videos and everything else all the way down to singing, dancing, hair styling and makeup artistry. As stunning as her photos are, she isn’t just a pretty face in modeling crowd Nia is also in hot pursuit of a law degree on top of her modeling career. Check out some more of her work below.

Jenny Chu.

I always get questions about what it is that actually gets a woman on the blog. Guys always suggest women, and women always assume its only about beauty. That couldn’t be farther than the truth. However, in very few cases, the team and I will agree on a girl before we see her resume just off the strength of her look. The Southern California beauty Jenny Chu is one of those few. ½ Chinese, ½ Vietnamese, she seems to have been all over the place, and had her hand in everything. Miss Chu has done spreads in everything from Show Magazine to Cage Fighting Magazine(diversity.) And one of the sexiest things to me personally is a woman that into cars. Jenny’s been in videos for the Fast and the Furious 3, and in Import Tuner as well as Girls of Lowrider Spread. As if that wasn’t dope enought, she’s shared the screen in videos with Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, Young Dro, Chingy, Too $hort, Mario, and Slum Village. Other gigs like a documentary on Vida Guerra, being on the Wild Card Poker Tour and Street Fury on G4TV just take her over the top. Can’t wait to check her at an Hot Import Nights show.

DJ Storm’s Interview With Yesenia Bustillo.

It’s been quite a while since I dropped an interview, so I figured my birthday was as good a time as any to get back on it. The beauty in question this time around is SF’s own Yesenia Bustillo, and after the WILD reaction I got from my first post about her, I knew I had to catch up with her and find out a bit more. From Show magazine, to mentions on Sports Illustrated and CNN, Miss Bustillo seems to be all over the board and rightfully so. Gorgeous, articulate, intelligent, and a super hard worker, talking to her has been one of the funner projects I’ve done on the blog. Oh and don’t worry guys… She’s got sisters.

DJ Storm: How’d you get into modeling?

Yesenia Bustillo: Modeling has been something I aspired doing for as long as I can remember. I absolutely idolized Cindy Crawford growing up and I wanted to be just like her!

With that being said – as soon as I was old enough I began my journey as an aspiring model. My first gig was about a year after High School, I landed the face for a Brazilian swimsuit line where I modeled all their swimsuits and dresses. I knew at that point it was everything I expected it to be. I fell in love with the camera and had a ton of fun shooting!

DJS: Aside from Show, what other magazines have you shot with?

YB: SHOW Magazine was the first magazine I shot for and landed the cover of the Latina issue. I was also the face for Lianidies, LLC.

DJS: I’m not sure if you know you were referenced on Sports Illustrated.com by a few people who wanted to see you up there. In terms of modeling alone, what are some of aspirations, or long term goals?

YB: Yes, I was so excited! I am big fan of Sports Illustrated models and the magazine so to be featured on their site was so amazing!!! This was just more motivation to work harder and allow my fans to see more of me . I have some exciting shoots coming up including a shoot with a very well known magazine and can’t wait to share my work with you all.

DJS: I know you work at Vessel (one of my favorite clubs in the Bay Area), and you’ve also been a personal assistant. What other jobs/projects are you involved in, and how does that help or hinder your modeling?

YB: It’s all about networking! I’m a personal assistant and a bottle service host at Vessel in San Francisco and both jobs allow me to meet new people everyday. – Especially at Vessel, I’ve obtained some good contacts with different photographers/producers who’ve come in and have good connections in the industry and I plan to use them to my full advantage.

DJS: So aside from work what do you enjoy doing in your spare time (if you have any. You seem to always stay on the move.)

YB: Well I try to stay busy at all times but everyone needs some time off. On my spare time I love to travel, spend time with my family and friends, I enjoy a cocktail in a social setting, shop, head to beach and most importantly I love to eat so my favorite thing has got to be trying new restaurants. Lucky for me San Francisco has the best ones!

DJS: SF does have some amazing spots to eat. But whats your favorite home cooked meal?

YB: Yes, some of the best eats in the U.S. are in San Francisco but I do love a home cooked meal! I’m a big seafood person. I absolutely love shellfish so my favorite home cooked meal would be my dad’s crab and lobster with green peppers and onions! It’s a special sauce he makes so I can’t give up the recipe — Okay, maybe if I knew how to make it I would reveal it. Lol

DJS: After all the comments I got about your first post on this blog, I’m sure there are tons of guys out there willing to cook that for you. And as beautiful as you are, working at a nightclub has to come with some funny stories. Whats the worst pick up line a guy has used on you in the club?

YB: Guys always have the cheesiest pick up lines while intoxicated. I get so many a night but I recently got the nerdiest guy as one of my clients who said, “Do you have a map? I’m getting lost in your eyes!” Haha. I had to tell him to never use that on a woman, EVER AGAIN!

DJS: What are your favorite types of music to listen to both when you’re in the club, and just when you’re out and about?

YB: I love all types of music except for country music! In the club I really like house music, I also like hip hop but only at the right club. In my car I love to listen to R&B and Latin music and sing as loud as possible, lol. While at home cleaning or cooking over a glass of wine, I love to listen to Sade, Norah Jones and Ryan Leslie. Their voices are so soothing and put me in such a relaxing, good mood.

DJS: And lastly, if you had any advice for ladies trying to get into the modeling scene, what would it be?

Maximize all your social networks especially Model Mayhem. Every aspiring model should create and take advantage of this site. There are so many good photographers and models to network with on there. The internet is such a powerful outlet and you should use it to your full advantage.

DJS: If people want to get in touch with you for booking, where can they find you?

YB: For bookings you can contact bookyeseniabustillo@gmail.com

Choi Xooang Sculptures.

Delicate yet nightmarish, these painted polymer clay figures by Seoul-based artist Choi Xooang are nothing short of remarkable. Try as I might it’s hard to find a definitive, trustworthy article to source information from, and even the spelling of his name seems to change from site to site. However it seems generally accepted that Xooang is attempting to draw attention to human rights abuses in Korea, and seeing these somewhat macabre, stunted figures unable to see or speak, it’s hard to dispute that. You can see much more of his work at Mu Um and Slash, though be warned it’s somewhat graphic (generally nudity). I admit the mushroom cloud sculpture is a bit of a one-off, but I saw it was just posted yesterday and couldn’t resist.

Heather Feather.

Heather Feather may not be your generic southern California beauty. Raised in Orange County, and born on August 11th, she’s the youngest of two children, and has been active in everything from cheerleading to the swim team. After her mother passed in 1992, she was inspired to sing and honed her craft by mimicing the singing styles of various artists . Having taken ballet, jazz, hip hop and modern dance, Heather found her niche in go-go dancing. At the age of 18, she moved out and began travelling for work and has been to almost every state in the U.S. Not only can Heather heat things up physically, with her sexy photos. She began modeling at 18 and has worked with a long list of photographers and companies, including import show, and movies. Places you may have seen Heather are websites, magazines, music videos, gogo dancing or on TV shows. She loves what she does and believes she is good at her “job”.

Anna Rincon vs. Vanna Black.

So, once again the time has come when I need the public’s personal opinion. After a conversation between a staff-member and I about the two lovely women below, I decided to put up another poll and ask who you think is hotter

.

Anna Rincon has proven to be a triple threat in mainstream media; demonstrating capabilities of excelling with talent in Film as an Actress, A video Model and having the grace and looks to cover magazines as well as showing off her dance moves. Her nationality being Mexican- American gives her the opportunity to work in both English and Spanish market. Being Beautiful and Talented defines her in the category to be one of the most wanted Video/Model Vixen in the Music industry- she has worked with major artists like Colby O Donis, International artist Akon, R&B megastar Usher and Latin Urban Artist Daddy Yankee. Along with video modeling, she has graced magazine covers of Source and Low Rider Magazines, as well as going international for centerfolds all over Latin America. Anna Rincon’s diverse talent has proven to be a natural when it comes to films and television media. She has previously worked on MTV, Si Tv and Telemundo to host and has been invited for numerous guest appearances. Although Anna is always busy, she finds time to unwind and hopes to open her dance studio and agency one day.

The incredible rapper/model is of African-American, French, Irish, Dutch, and Cherokee heritage, giving her an exotic and stunning appearance that is all her own. She was born and raised in the corrupted slums of West Philadelphia. Vanna began rapping during her freshman year in high school. “I was always a good writer and always loved rap and one night I was just sitting around and started writing,” she recalls. “I took it to school the next day and let the boys hear it and they loved it. I kept doing it and after a while it turned into a passion.” She first considered modeling a year later when a photographer approached her and offered to take some photos of her. A few short years later Vanna found her career beginning to take off. Thus far, her stint in modeling has been a successful one. Vanna has appeared in the pages of several top urban magazines as well as in numerous product advertisements, music videos, and calendars. Her resume continues to grow.

Kreayshawn – Gucci Gucci.

Kreayshawn

Its funny how the true the term “6 Degrees of Separation” can actually be. I’ve rocked some of the same venues as Kreayshawn, and my brother Reginald Sylvester even illustrated the poster used for one of her overseas singles. So I was a bit amused when a friend of mine from Miami told me about a music video he saw on twitter from “some girl around where [you] stay at”, and it turned out to be the one and only Kreayshawn. Check out her video for “Gucci Gucci”.

And for those of you unfamiliar with Kreayshawn, check out some of what she’s got to say for herself.

Let me say as much as I can in this time I am not distracted. I am moved by creating, documenting, flourishing in society. I’m coming right from Northern California. Young East Oakland baby to be correct. I am a Director, Cinematographer, Editor, DJ, Pixel Artist, Rapper, Swag assassin, Under-cat. I am just here working for you. Let’s see what it look like in my world. I live in Los Angeles, CA. Self employed baby doll looking for consistent work with the love to travel.

Chemically Powered to Charge.

The Eco Power Strip is an alternate energy production source that bypasses traditional oil and the new-age hydrogen alternatives. Electricity is produced by electrolysis – the combination of oxygen with hydrogen in bio-ethanol (DEFC: Direct-ethanol fuel cells), using energy without carbonic acid gas. The tech is viable but will we ever see this in practical applications? The world may never know.

Rhian Sugden.

I come across models in all different types of ways, I may meet them, have worked with them, or me/someone on my staff may have just stumbled across them on the internet. Rhian Sugden however marks the first time I was introduced to a talented model through a Facebook suggestion. One of our common friends coincidentally is my good buddy, the super-talented (and one of London’s best) DJ Roy Rovelli, so thanks Roy have having sexy friends. lol. From what I hear, Ms. Sugden is also a DJ herself, although she seems to be known for her work modeling more than anything else. Born September 11th 1986, she’s far more than just a pretty face in the crowd, Rhian became a model, and a ‘Page 3 Girl’ quite a while ago after leaving her position as a network administrator at Global Telecoms and Tech. Since then she’s appeared in magazines like Zoo, Nuts, and even Maxim Magazine. In 2008 she even appeared in the BBC documentary series Glamour Girls that us in the states can find online. Hopefully I can put her on my ‘to meet’ list next time I work across the pond.

Eva Kurkova.

The ever so lovely Eva Kurkova, (a.k.a. Temptation), was born on April 4th, 1988 in Isla de Juventud, Cuba. This diverse and ‘well rounded’ model seems to be able to inhabit any frame she’s put in, with any type of shoot she’s been a part of. Eva was raised alongside 4 brothers in a fishing town called Nueva Gerona. Her parents are Czechoslovakian (father) and Spanish/Cuban (mother). She spent her life in Cuba until the age of 9 (in 1997), where she moved to Spain, and started to develop a background in theatrical production. In 2004, after having her name associated with a few beauty pagents, Kurkova realized her passion was the limelight. Since 2005 been living in the United States and following her dreams of modeling.

Have You Seen Wilfred?

I’ve seen tons of commercials recently with Elijah Wood, and a man dressed in a dog suit. I’ve been quite perplexed, and was honestly somewhat put off by the visuals until I FINALLY found the explanation for the ads. To be 100% honest, I was somewhat impressed. So as I’m not one for advertising major network shows, here’s the scoop on Wilfred.

There’s been a number of overseas shows being adapted for US audiences… Top Gear, Being Human, and Skins, just to name a few. FX has picked up Wilfred, a remake of the acclaimed Australian series about “an introvert who struggles to find social and professional happiness, until he meets ‘Wilfred’”, his attractive next door neighbor’s Australian Shepherd. To everyone else, Wilfred is a dog, but to the introverted Ryan (played by Elijah Wood), Wilfred is a man dressed in a dog suit. Wilfred is “Ryan’s alter-ego intent on pushing Ryan out of his shell,” or as described by series showrunner David Zuckerman (co-developer of Family Guy), he’s “part Australian Shepherd, part Russell Crowe on a bender”.

The series was developed by Zuckerman, who also wrote the pilot. Jason Gann, co-creator of the original show, is reprising his role as Wilfred. FX has ordered 13 episodes based off the pilot, set to premiere summer 2011.

Sally Ferreira.

Many of the models already featured on the blog has a particular niche, or style that fits them best in their photos, but Sally Ferreira out of Queens, NY is hands down the most versatile model I’ve wanted to put on this blog. It doesn’t seem to matter what the concept, the photography style, or the premise of the photo, Sally Ferreira owns the photo every time. She’s appeared in SMOOTHgirl Magazine, In The House Magazine, and Bridges Magazine, just to name a few. She’s been in a slew of music videos by artists like Cassidy, Don Omar, Bun B, Keyshia Cole, Bone Thugs & Harmony, and G Unit. Sally’s been on TV with Busta Rhymes, and is the only model I know to have been in an episode of ‘Sex And The City’. (2008 “Future Samantha”). Kudos to Sally Ferreira, this 5 foot 5 Dominican seems to be all over the place all of the time.

The Lovely Ms. Ophilia.

Originally from the Midwest (Indianapolis, Indiana), LaToya “Ophilia” Bledsoe is a unique beauty of African American / Puerto Rican descent. Her true passion is fashion and she is currently in school studying fashion design. Naturally, her interest in fashion goes hand in hand with modeling. Ophilia is no amateur in front of the camera and is always able to captivate her audience. In 2000, Ophilia began to publicize herself through modeling. She did hair shows for well recognized hairstylists from Indianapolis and Detroit, and was also on the cover of the hair show tape for Hair Wars with Hump the Grinders. Then in 2001, she appeared on the Ricky Lake Show, where she won the best model and hair contest. Later (after establishing that she was ready for more exposure), she signed the non-exclusive modeling agency ‘Lmodelz’. She began shooting with skilled photographers all over the Midwest. Ophilia is working very hard to fulfill her ambitions and reach her dreams. She has been in many of the videos that I always used to watch from artists like 50 Cent,, and his been in everything from Show Magazine to Harley Davidson campaigns.

Candice Swanepoel.

Since her discovery when she was 15 in her small South African town, Candice Swanepoel has turned heads. As a young girl she harbored aspirations of conquering the catwalk, and after appearing in ad campaigns for Nike, Diesel and Guess and catwalk duties for Dolce & Gabbana, Betsey Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, and Diane Von Furstenberg, she’s done just that. In 2008, Swanepoel took her career to the next level, appearing in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and being named one of Victoria’s Secrets Angels. Since then, Candice Swanepoel has been one of the hottest properties in fashion… Giggidy.

Jenna Shea.

Some of the models i post up, i learn about for the first time when I’m writing about them, but Jenna Shea is an exception. I’ve had my eye on her for a while. Many of my close friends think they can tell people what my ideal crush looks like, and when they do Jenna Shea’s name always gets thrown around. Since she stepped on the modeling scene, Jenna Shea has been all over the place. With a body the kind of defies physics (5’2″, 34DD-25-41) this California native hasn’t stopped making her way around the industry. Two time Cover Girl for the esteemed SHOW magazine brand, Craze magazine cover girl, Straight Stuntin, Silk, and many more magazine features comprise just a portion of her resume, not to mention the numerous website and video features.

But Shea, (branded the “Urban Barbie”) has a bit more drama surrounding her than most of the other models I feature. This particular beauty has a bit more to mention besides a basic bio. Her past relationship with Young Berg ended somewhat explosively after a sex tape, Berg getting robbed, and her blasting off on him all over twitter about how Berg cried like a b*tch after he was robbed at gun point. Shea has also had proximity to Kat Stacks, we all know how annoying Kat is, along with her trash talking rappers, and “telling” their personal business all over the internet. But Shea put a stop to this by putting on twitter (I keep telling people twitter is deadly, but no one listens.) how Stacks lied about Bow Wow, Nelly, Fabolous, and a few other people. But all the drama aside, at the end of the day Jenna Shea deserves a gentleman’s clap just for being that hot.

Candy Pillay.

Candice Pillay was born June 10th, 1981 in the small town of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. The model (who also goes by Candy) has apparently had a love for the stage and performing as well. Her East Indian heritage combined with a love for R&B and Soul music makes for her remarkable sound and style. She grew up in a musical family, and began singing in her church at the age of 5. She left her home in South Africa and moved to the States to further both her modeling and her career. She lived in New York and recorded and performed her music there, playing at various clubs and parties. Candy later moved to Los Angeles where she continues her music career with recording, performance and radio work. Candy has since branched out into a part-time modeling career in, fashion-runway, print and spokes-model work.

Bio Phone Concept.

Here’s a flip phone that could put the “cool” back into clamshells. When you receive an incoming call, the corner dog-ears up and if need be, opens up (book-style) using actuators like artificial muscles in its elastomeric cover. Awesome, Motorola StarTAC 2.o maybe? Who knows, but whats for sure is that just imagining someone opening this phone up on the subway would definitely turn heads. The only major concern I would have is that when the phone is my pocket, and the corner leafed out, would that make it easy to open the phone by accident and possibly pick up an unwanted call? Or if the phone was compacted in your pocket by something pressing against it (say a stripper sitting on your lap), would it break the phone if the edge tried to lift up? But with those minor concerns aside, the Bio Phone concept is one of the freshest I’ve seen in quite some time, and if any company picks it up and puts it into production, I’d for sure be one of the first in line to grab it.

Gianna DeNinno

Now, its no secret that I love folks from Jersey, and I also happen to love friends. So when it comes to incredibly sexy women, a friend of someone from Jersey is an amazing thing. And its even more amazing when that ‘thing’ is model Gianna DeNinno. Now, you may be wondering what I mean by a friend of someone from Jersey, but long time readers may remember my post about the ever-so-sexy Joanna Shari from Newark, NJ. In an interview with RapModels.net, Gianna credited Joanna with “finding” her, and the two of them can be seen in a video together while shooting for Mixed Magazine. On her own however, the oh-so-loveley Gianna DeNinno describes herself as a fresh face to the industry residing in Denver, Colorado (whats up Volz) but is originally from Seattle, WA, and plans on settling down in Atlanta one day in the future. (To chill with someone voted “Booty Of The Year 2010″, I’d move almost anywhere). DeNinno is available for music videos, and magazine spreads off tops, I can’t wait to see more of her, but for a direct line to more info, she’s on twitter @GiannaDeNinno. Enjoy the pictures below, and check out my interview with Gianna right here.
