Biography
Outgoing, even at that young age, Vida Guerra quickly
adapted to the new country and culture. She
developed into a bright, beautiful young woman and
began getting involved in dance and some modeling,
strutting around in a G-string when she was 18 for a
fashion show in her hometown of Perth Amboy.
Vida Guerra's first taste of fame came after successfully
auditioning for a Big Pun video called "New York to
New Orleans." She sat next to the now deceased
rapper and grooved to the beat throughout the song
which, unfortunately, did not get much play on TV
music stations.
Following this slight exposure, Guerra returned to
her normal life. She took a job as a loans officer,
but still kept her eye out for modeling
opportunities whenever they came. After browsing
through an FHM magazine, a close (and very wise)
friend suggested she send in pictures of herself.
With nothing to lose, Guerra did just that.
Upon receiving Vida's photos, FHM felt they fit in
perfectly with a recent search for "everyday" babes
in lingerie. The pictures were posted in the
December
2002 issue of the magazine and though they were
very hot, Guerra thought nothing more of it. That
is, of course, until readers bombarded FHM with
letters demanding more of the hot New Jersey babe
with the huge booty.
Overwhelmed with the response, the magazine called
Vida back and asked her to officially pose for them.
Jumping at the opportunity, Guerra agreed and was
featured very scantily clad in both the March and
May
2003 issues. Now that her face (and behind) were
out there, people began to take notice. The St.
Louis rap group, Naturally Smooth, even asked her to
pose for its album cover.
Following this magazine work, Vida Guerra was recruited to
dance on Dave Chappelle's comedy show, appropriately
called Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central. Her big
booty also made Guerra a perfect fit in P. Diddy,
Nelly and Murphy Lee's "Shake Ya Tailfeather" video,
which was a popular rap hit in the summer of
2003.
She was honored at the end of
2003 with FHM's "Rear of the Year" award and was
then cast as a muse in the comedy short Writer's
Block.
Now a recognized model, Guerra grabbed more
headlines after appearing with tight end Jeremy
Shockey of the New York Giants at the opening of
Jay-Z's
New York nightclub. The relationship -- if one
could even call it that -- did not last long, but
Vida did not need to rely on a boyfriend to make the
news.
With her calendar for troops serving in the Middle
East (and one for FHM) she continues to be a hot
commodity.
These days, Vida Guerra can be seen dancing in another
rap video; this time for Cassidy's single "Get No
Better." In January
2004, she signed to a new management company,
F/C Management, and is well placed to find work as
both a model and actress. Word on the street is Vida
could be starring regularly on a yet-to-be-announced
MTV program, as well as in her own movie. Keep your
fingers crossed.
