Zuleyka Rivera

2009-02-21T00:52:00.001-08:00

Zuleyka Jerrís Rivera Mendoza (born October 3, 1987 in Cayey, Puerto Rico, and raised in Salinas, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican beauty queen who has held the titles Miss Puerto Rico Universe and Miss Universe 2006. Currently she's making her debut as a telenovela actress in Telemundo's soap opera Dame Chocolate. Her name "Zuleyka" is from Arabic and means brillant and lovely.

Miss Universe 2006

Zuleyka Rivera represented Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe 2006 pageant which was televised live internationally from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California on July 23, 2006. After competing in swimsuit, evening gown and interview, she was crowned Miss Universe by outgoing titleholder Natalie Glebova of Canada.

Later that evening, Rivera fainted briefly during a press appearance. The incident was reportedly attributed to heat exhaustion (from the stage lights) coupled with the weight of the heavy, chained dress she was wearing.[1] However this caused controversy as many believed her fainting was due to malnutrition.

Rivera was the fifth Puerto Rican to win the title, which makes the island, along with Venezuela(2008) the second most successful entity in the pageant (behind the United States). Prior to Rivera's win, Puerto Rico had been tied with Venezuela, with each having won the pageant four times. Rivera was the third consecutive delegate from Puerto Rico to make the top five at Miss Universe, after Alba Reyes placed second runner-up at Miss Universe 2004 and Cynthia Olavarría was first runner-up at Miss Universe 2005.

Rivera's win came only five years after Denise Quiñones, the most recent winner from Puerto Rico, won the crown. As Miss Universe, Rivera represents the Miss Universe Organization, both in the United States and internationally. She was based in New York City, where she shared an apartment with Tara Conner, Miss USA and Katie Blair, Miss Teen USA 2006.

At the Miss Universe 2007 pageant she passed her crown to Riyo Mori of Japan in Mexico City, Mexico on May 28, 2007 before a predicted audience of 1 billion viewers.

A year in the life as Miss Universe

After being crowned on July 23, 2006 in Los Angeles, Zuleyka was interviewed by many news teams in Los Angeles and when she arrived at her new home in New York.

From the end of July until early August, Zuleyka traveled to Japan where she presented the Five Star Diamond Award to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Tokyo. She also participated in a photo shoot with Kurara Chibana, Miss Universe Japan (and first runner-up), and Zuleyka also visited Mikimoto, the creators of her dazzling crown. In late August, Zuleyka traveled to Indonesia where she attended the opening of a new spa, met with the Minister of Culture, and attended the Miss Indonesia Universe pageant where Agni Pratistha was crowned. While in Indonesia, Zuleyka also visited Bali. On September 4, 2006, Zuleyka returned to her home, Puerto Rico for an official homecoming celebration and parade. The following day, Zuleyka returned to her hometown of Salinas.

As of April 2007, Zuleyka has traveled to the Czech Republic, Russia, Turkey, France, Greece, Kazakhstan, India, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Thailand, and Brazil, in addition to Japan, Indonesia, and Puerto Rico.

On April 1, 2007, Rivera appeared at Wrestlemania 23 along with Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith and Miss Teen USA 2006 Katie Blair, supporting Donald Trump in the Battle of the Billionaires match against Vince McMahon.

She passed on her crown at the Miss Universe 2007 pageant to Japan's Riyo Mori, which was held in Mexico City, Mexico on May 28, 2007.

Family and personal life

Raised in Salinas with her parents Jerry Rivera and Carmen Mendoza, and two brothers, Jerry, Jr. and Jose Rivera Mendoza. Prior to winning the Miss Puerto Rico title she won the local pageant for her hometown of Salinas. She had also placed as the first runner-up in the Miss Teen Puerto Rico pageant. Only eighteen years of age when she was crowned Miss Universe, Rivera is one of the youngest women to win the title. She is also the first winner from Puerto Rico to have noticeable mixed heritage features, as her four predecessors (Marisol Malaret, Deborah Carthy-Deu, Dayanara Torres, and Denise Quiñones) all have distinctly European features. She's dating the former Manhunt International winner Jaime Augusto Mayol, who is 7 years older than she is. She and Jaime won their respectives international titles in the same year, 2006.

There is currently much speculation over her relationship with tennis player Novak Djokovic as she was spotted in in the players' box cheering him on during the End of Year Championship in Shanghai.

Yasmin Brunet

2009-02-21T00:20:00.001-08:00

Yasmin Brunet has sent eyes popping and tongues wagging since the release of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (yep, that's her on the cover). Fans in her native Brazil have seen her in fashion shows as well as a variety of ads and magazine appearances.

Yasmin Brunet's slender 5'8" frame boasts some distinguishing features. Her left foot sports a tattoo and she has both nipples pierced, but she only wears a ring on one of them. If you happen to be sharing the beach with Yasmin Brunet on one of her many topless beach excursions, you'll know which side the ring is on. Her natural features, like her brown hair and eyes, come from her mom, a former Brazilian Playmate.

In the love department, Yasmin Brunet has a boyfriend, but she wants more romance in her life and lists masculinity and honesty as two of the most important qualities in her potential partners. Who are her ideal men? Yasmin Brunet points to Justin Timberlake and Jake Gyllenhaal, but she also gets weak in the knees at the thought of Angelina Jolie. Without hesitation, Yasmin Brunet would give up men in an instant to be with Angelina. We like her taste in women.

Yasmin Brunet has enjoyed modeling success that predates her appearance in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She started in fashion shows for Patachou, Rosa Cha and Versus, and signed on with Ford Models Brazil and 40º Models. Yasmin Brunet has also been spotted on the cover of Brazil's Elle magazine and in ads for companies like Calzedonia, Disritmia and Escada.

If you asked Yasmin Brunet what she would've done if she weren't modeling, she'd likely talk about her past ambitions to sing in a band. Unfortunately, her self-described terrible voice put a halt to that. Yasmin Brunet also enjoys acting, but without lessons, she doesn't feel that she could master the craft. Now that her face and body are familiar to SI Swimsuit Issue enthusiasts, it seems that Yasmin Brunet certainly made the right career choice.

Sasckya Porto

2009-02-21T00:03:00.000-08:00

Sasckya Porto is a Brazilian supermodel that was featured as Playboy magazine’s December 2007 Playmate of the Month. She is also one of the celebrity judges on Hotties in Hicktown, a reality show where fashion models compete to become the next "glamour gal."

Now this is a category where we can give Sasckya Porto major points. What’s not to love about this exotic South American? Her face is stunning, her body is incredible and we got to see every inch of this Amazon goddess in Playboy. We love when beautiful pageant queens are willing to partake in the “nude” round.

t’s difficult to give a woman as beautiful as Sasckya Porto a low rating in anything, however, given her relatively short resume (December ’07 Playmate of the Month), it’s only right. She's a celebrity judge on the TV show Hotties in Hicktown. Still, we know her star is only on the rise -- among other things.

Charity Hodges

2009-02-06T01:03:00.000-08:00

If you haven't seen Charity Hodges in one of her many magazine spreads or beauty pageants, you might have seen her as the host of the Speed Channel's NOPI Tunervision and as a guest star on the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men.

There's a reason why beauty pageants and pinup magazines all want a piece of Charity Hodges. She spent much of her childhood in sunny Florida, and her perfect 32D-22-33 figure makes her ideal eye candy on the beach as well as at photo shoots. Charity Hodges has posed in lingerie, casual wear and au naturel, and she looks equally stunning in any form. In fact, we'd like her to do much more of it.

Charity Hodges is also sexy for her adventurous attitude that has her partaking in jet-skiing and boating activities. She also adores travelling. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Charity Hodges to marry us, but she's currently attached. When it comes to men, she's also very picky. She says her men need to be tall, strong behind the wheel and big in the right places. With such a knockout body and a fun-loving attitude to go with it, Charity Hodges' allowed to be selective. It's also sexy that she knows what she wants.

Charity Hodges has a long and prosperous history in pageantry that dates back to her earliest days. For the last ten years, she's been a popular bikini contestant on various circuits, most notably with Miss Hawaiian Tropic. As a contestant, she's garnered an impressive haul of more than 30 awards. She's also graced the pages of Stuff, Maxim, Planet Muscle, The Hooters Swimsuit Calendar, and others.

Charity Hodges hasn't duplicated her pageantry and print success on television, but she hasn't come away from TV empty-handed. Her biggest highlight-to-date is a Vegas-themed guest spot on Two and a Half Men, but she's also shown up as the host of NOPI Tunervision on the Speed Channel, and acted in beer and football commercials. Not to be outdone, Charity Hodges also wants to be a rapper, but her success has been limited. We can't fault her for trying.

Christie Cavalli

2009-02-06T00:17:00.000-08:00

Christie Cavalli is a popular pinup model in the print world and on the web. You've seen her in FHM and as part of Miss Hawaiian Tropic, and that's just the beginning.

Christie Cavalli is a Virgo who is short and stacked. This olive-skinned beauty stands 5'7" but maintains a 36 DD-24-35 figure with ease. Her dark brown hair and eyes can hold the gaze of any red-blooded male. Christie Cavalli keeps herself looking good by immersing herself in outdoor activities. If you want the attention of this single girl, you need to keep up with her. Among her favorite activities are mountain biking, fishing, snowboarding, camping, and yoga.

Although she doesn't slow down very much, Christie Cavalli has also been known to enjoy a good movie and a relaxing glass of wine. She's got the travel bug as well, so if you were to indulge in Christie Cavalli's lifestyle, you'd have to be ready to experience a world of adventures. Let's consider that for a second. OK, this all sounds great to us. Where do we sign up?

In little more than three years of modeling, Christie Cavalli went from living as a relative unknown in Canada to traveling the world for various photo shoots. After a debut in American Curves Magazine, Christie Cavalli has climbed up the ladder with stints in popular mags like Penthouse, Stuff and she has also been part of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic circuit.

Christie Cavalli doesn't fit into the model stereotype. She has a full career that she actively practices outside of modeling, and it's in real estate, no less. Instead of spending her loot, Christie Cavalli saved her modeling money and put herself through school to sell houses. Not only is Christie Cavalli a beauty in front of the camera, but she's also a smart cookie when it comes to buying a home.

Jessica Gomes

2009-02-06T00:07:00.000-08:00

Jessica Gomes is a beautiful model of Singaporean and Portuguese heritage. She is probably best-known for her work in the 2008 SI Swimsuit Issue.

Standing at a striking 5’9”, Jessica Gomes possesses the kind of statuesque frame and irresistible looks that one demands from a supermodel. Her exotic beauty comes courtesy of her Portuguese father and Chinese mother, and it’s not surprising to note that she’s been turning heads practically since birth.

Jessica Gomes’ long dark hair and piercing brown eyes only add to the overall package, while her down-to-earth personality has ensured that she comes across as a prototypical girl-next-door. And although she’d obviously make any guy’s friends insanely jealous, Jessica Gomes is that rare supermodel anyone would be thrilled to bring home to mom.

Jessica Gomes has certainly come a long way since entering her first modeling contest, and has appeared in advertisements for such companies as Levi’s, Motorola and Garnier. Her steadily rising star is a testament to her old-fashioned upbringing, as she was taught the value of a strong work ethic from an early age. Her appearance in magazines like Vogue and Glamour led directly to more high-profile gigs, like appearances in Sports Illustrated’s 2008 Swimsuit Issue undoubtedly being the pinnacle of her career. And, yet, it does seem clear that the best is yet to come for Jessica Gomes, who harbors dreams of one day running her own fashion empire. An acting career also appears to be in the offing for the ambitious supermodel; no matter what she chooses, though, it’s clear that she’s made a considerable impact on a notoriously tough-to-break field.

Melissa Haro

2009-02-04T20:58:00.000-08:00

Melissa Haro caught the attention of men everywhere when she appeared in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

This dark-haired, green-eyed California girl represents a more exotic alternative to the Golden State's stereotypical blonde, blue-eyed beauty. Her thin-yet-lusciously curvaceous frame made her a perfect choice for Sports Illustrated, in which she showed off a lot more skin than her previous modeling gigs called for. As arousing as her bikini shoots from the Cayman Islands were, some of her Guess ads are just about as jaw-dropping as her SI spread. Melissa Haro has a rose tattoo in a secret spot somewhere on her beautiful body, as well as the unusual and very titillating talent of being able to tie cherry stems into a knot with her tongue. She refers to this ability as "kind of a flirty type of thing." We're getting hot just thinking about it.

Melissa Haro's not quite graduated to household name or supermodel status (yet), but following her rookie appearance in Sports Illustrated's 2008 Swimsuit Issue, her profile has been given a huge boost. Prior to being featured in SI, the former Miss Bay Area Teen was best known for her participation on the debut season of Project Runway (2004-'05). She also replaced Paris Hilton as the spokesmodel for Guess Jeans in 2005.

Unlike many up-and-coming models, she hasn't expressed any interest in pursuing an acting career some day. Given her age, she's got time to make the leap from appearing in print campaigns to becoming TV or movie eye candy, should she want to expand her horizons as such.

Melissa Haro considers her sexy SI spread to be the pinnacle of her career so far, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll be seeing much more of her in future editions of the publication's annual bestseller. Until then, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for any upcoming ad campaigns or magazine shoots that she'll be featured in.

Bar Paly

2009-02-04T20:44:00.001-08:00

Bar Paly is a sexpot who's appeared in steamy spreads for Maxim magazine as well as in an episode of CSI: NY. She also makes an appearance in the movie The Ruins (2008).

Wow -- there's something about this Israeli beauty that gets our pulses racing. Could it be Bar Paly's stunning au naturel curves or her mesmerizing face? We'll take the whole package.

Bar Paly has started making waves and garnering the attention of fans (especially men) everywhere. She's had her face splashed across the pages of some of men's favorite mags like Maxim, and she's dabbled in a bit of acting, appearing on prime-time TV dramas as well as in big-screen flicks like The Ruins, Stiletto (2008) and the horror movie Hyenas (2008).

Seren Gibson

2009-02-04T20:19:00.000-08:00

Seren Gibson's impressive face and body have been seen in magazines like Zoo and Maxim. She was also seen on British television as part of the documentary My Crazy Media Life.

At first glance, most of Seren Gibson's sex appeal comes from her very natural bustline, which measures up to a hefty size 32E. Her breasts are so legendary that they were a major point of discussion in Seren Gibson's high school yearbook. Her figure is impossible to overlook, and it's only aided by her long hair and symmetric face. Seren Gibson sure isn't shy about showing things off, having posed au naturel for the cameras (and at the pub) on several occasions.

We also like Seren Gibson for her no-holds-barred personality. She likes to daydream and inhabits various attractive ”personalities,” from the classic femme fatale to the loving housewife. Seren Gibson also likes to party and get into trouble. One of her bad habits is fooling around with her lady friends in front of guys -- for shock value. We're more than willing to try Seren Gibson's imagination (and everything else) on for size.

Never before has a crazy British lady gone so far with such oh-so ample bosom. For glamour model Seren Gibson, it's all in a day's work. More importantly, her continued success means she can do more shopping, partake in some good old-fashioned partying and also continue a full-fledged education.

Since her humble beginnings in a wet T-shirt contest, Seren Gibson's modeling dreams have led to stark poses for Maxim, Zoo and Front Magazine. She's also appeared on the popular Channel 4 series My Crazy Media Life as part of a British documentary about her day-to-day activities. Although Seren Gibson is widely known for her body, she remains confident in herself. Seren Gibson is proud of her commitment to her education and her continued quest to live a very full life.

Jo Garcia

2009-02-04T20:09:00.001-08:00

Latin knockout Jo Garcia was named Playboy’s Cyber Club Cyber Girl of the Year in 2008. Her dark eyes and long legs would have been plenty to attract the cyber-world explorers, but she has gamers buzzing because not only is she beautiful, but she also knows her video games.

This leggy 5’7”, 122-pound Hispanic hard-body (in part the product of pole-dancing/strip classes in Los Angeles) measures in at a sultry 32D-24-32, and she puts every inch of it to work for her. Yet the tale of the tape only goes so far in explaining Jo Garcia’s saucy sex appeal.

Whereas it isn’t uncommon for the gaming industry and beautiful women with no gaming background to mutually exploit each other, Jo Garcia’s status as a true gamer is beyond dispute. She lists Final Fantasy, Radiata Stories and the Xenosaga trilogy as favorites, and displays an unmistakable knowledge of video games, enough to erase any suspicion that she’s anything but legit. Plus, in interviews, she comes across as cool, charming and intelligent.

For a young woman with very little modeling experience to speak of, Jo Garcia’s rise from obscurity to relative fame was somewhat meteoric. On the urging of some friends, including a 2001 Playboy Playmate of the Month, she submitted a portfolio to Playboy without much fanfare. To her surprise, she was named Playboy’s Cyber Girl of the Month for October 2007 by members of the Playboy Cyber Club. In April 2008, Cyber Club members gave her an even higher stamp of approval in naming her the 2008 Cyber Club Cyber Girl of the Year.

Since then Jo Garcia has been doing a lot of publicity, more photo and video shoots, and appearances. Although her modeling career is moving along at quite a clip, she’s clearly just getting started.

Brooklyn Decker

2009-02-04T19:56:00.001-08:00

Brooklyn Decker has been turning heads since 2006 when she made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she continues to make men swoon, making waves most recently in the February 2008 edition. This stunner has since made a splash in high-profile campaigns for Gap, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, and J.C. Penney. "It's like a dream," she says of her flourishing career. "It's one of those things where it's not something you hope for because it's too unrealistic to want that."

Brooklyn Decker has the kind of body that men fantasize about. Her fabulously long, colt-like legs and mouthwatering 34-24-34 dimensions are definitely made to order. So how does this tantalizing model stay in shape? "Thankfully, I have good genes,” she admits, “but there's pressure to not gain weight because it's my job. It's tough at times because I'm a girl that loves candy." Well, fiance and tennis superstar Andy Roddick took notice, as the couple got engaged in March 2008.

Get used to hearing Brooklyn Decker’s name. This heavenly creature has appeared in a bevy of big-name magazines, including Sports Illustrated, Teen Vogue, FHM, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Elle Girl, and Spin. Her smiling face has also appeared in high-profile campaigns for Gap, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Hollister, J.C. Penney, and SportsIllustrated.com, where she cohosts the site’s popular She Says, Z Says weekly feature.

Catrinel Menghia

2009-02-03T22:30:00.000-08:00

Catrinel Menghia (born October 1, 1985) is a Romanian model.

She was discovered at the age of 16 on the street by a local agent who took her to Bucharest to meet Liviu Ionescu of the MRA Agency. Six months later, her parents allowed Menghia to move to Bucharest and start an international modeling career.

She participated in the Ford Model's Supermodel of the World Romania contest in November 2001, where she won the second runner-up prize.

Menghia now lives in Milan. She has done campaigns for major fashion houses and is the face of Giorgio Armani worldwide. She was also one of the new faces in the 2006 South African Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and has appeared in FHM and Maxim.

She has been the face of the French lingerie brand Lise Charmel since 2005.

Camila Alves

2009-02-03T22:13:00.000-08:00

Camila Alves is a stunning Brazilian model who is probably best known as being the mommy of she and Matthew McConaughey's baby.

There's gotta be something in the water in Brazil that makes all the women there absolutely mind-blowingly hot. Camila Alves is no exception. And, like any man, we found ourselves even more drawn to her once she got preggers (although it's really not cool that she chose shirtless beach bum Matthew McConaughey to father her child).

As far as modeling goes, Camila Alves hasn't received that much exposure. She's appeared in a few music videos as well as commercials (we particularly liked the ad she did for Triumph lingerie). However, given her public exposure as "the woman who broke down Hollywood's playboy," we think she might get the chance to follow in the footsteps of other Brazilian beauties like Adriana Lima and Gisele Bundchen.

Juliette Frette

2009-02-03T22:02:00.000-08:00

Artist, writer and avowed feminist, Juliette Frette gained notoriety posing for Playboy while she was an undergrad in Women's Studies. She's graced the pages of the men's magazine several times since her 2005 debut, and was selected as the publication's Playmate of the Month for its June 2008 edition. She also writes for WhitehotMagazine.com, an online arts journal.

As a beautiful, buxom, blue-eyed blonde with a slim, perfect-10 figure, Juliette Frette exemplifies exactly the type of sex-kitten image that Playboy magazine is known for. Proof of this is her numerous appearances in the publication, as regular readers are obviously ecstatic to see more and more of her gorgeous face and incredibly hot body. In June, 2008, she reached the pinnacle of pin-updom when she became Playboy's Playmate of the Month. Factor in her intelligence and creative abilities and you've got a killer combination of brains, beauty and talent, and not just some one-dimensional Barbie doll. Juliette Frette would score high marks in this category based on looks alone, but there's something even more seductive about an artistic, intellectual, Playboy bunny whose feminist stance makes her the thinking woman's pin-up.

Juliette Frette may be best known for her multiple appearances in Playboy, culminating in her selection as the Miss June 2008, however her ambitions lie beyond simply being a sexy pin-up girl. She earned an honors degree in Women's Studies from UCLA in 2006 with a thesis titled “Posing for Playboy from A Feminist Perspective: How Media Images Impact Women's Empowerment” based on her experience as a nude model. In what may be the first instance of its kind, Juliette Frette was given the opportunity to write the text for her Playmate of the Month spread from a feminist perspective. Besides gaining fame from Playboy layouts, she's a painter whose works appear on her website, and she also profiles the art world for Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art. Far from being a household name, when she eventually publishes an expanded version of her honor's thesis as she hopes to do, and if the book becomes a best seller, she'll likely gain a higher success rating.

Julia Voth

2009-02-03T21:30:00.000-08:00

Julia Voth is an actress and a model. She's best known as the model for the video game Resident Evil: Biohazard and as the star of the film Bitch Slap.

There's a reason why Julia Voth was selected for her Resident Evil duties -- it's because she's beautiful. Video games aside, she's also done her share of "real modeling.” Some of her well-known magazine appearances include the cover of Foam, as well as spots in L.A. Direct, Eliza, Wedding Style, and Angeleno. Guess?, McDonald's and the band Aerosmith have also come calling her way.

Julia Voth has earned certified babe status as the Babe of the Day and the Babe of the Week for IGN. In addition, she's paid her dues with multiple appearances in Maxim's The Sexiest Women of 2009 and The Best Thing to Happen to 2009 calendars. As far as beauty goes, Julia has no problem eating and filling out her curves. She doesn't believe that skinny women are attractive, and we don't have any complaints about her healthy physique. Nor do the producers of Bitch Slap, who cast her as a stripper in the film.

It's a long way from the prairies of Saskatchewan to the hills of Hollywood, but Julia Voth has earned her own piece of the California acting pie with the lead role in the exploitation flick Bitch Slap and a supporting role in the Carrie-Ann Moss film Hanging Out Hooking Up Falling in Love. Julia Voth's very pretty face has also earned her commercial gigs for companies like Uniqlo Jeans and Herbal Essences, while her voice landed her some voice-over work for the cult film Repo! The Genetic Opera.

While you might have spotted her in one of her commercials, Julia Voth is still best known as the face and body model for the character of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Biohazard. The process involved scanning Julia Voth's entire body and various facial expressions in order to create Jill from her likeness. If all goes well, those Resident Evil games will become collector’s items when Julia Voth's career really takes off.

Anya Monzikova

Anya Monzikova (Russian: А́нна Мо́нзикова; b. August 25, 1984 in Vologda, Moscow, Russia) is a model and actress.

She lived in Russia for most of her childhood, and moved to Florida when she was 8 years old. After she graduated from high school, she moved again to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in acting. She modeled for lingerie companies, such as Trashy Lingerie, Faris, and Dreamgirl. In 2006, she became a model on NBC's hit game show, Deal or No Deal holding case #10.

Anya currently appears on the HDNet television channel as a co-host for the original program Get Out!. The show involves girls travelling the world and experiencing all that a city might have to offer. Anya is a co-host on the Belize episodes (Belize City, Cay Caulker, Goff's Cay, Seargant's Cay, Maruba Spa, and Maskall Village) and one Mexico episode (Xel-Ha). Get Out! is also hosted by Anya's fellow Deal or No Deal model Lindsay Clubine.

In 2007, Anya played the angel character from the painting "The Wounded Angel" in the music video Amaranth, the second single from Dark Passion Play, the album from the Finnish metal band Nightwish.

Anya is featured in a photo shoot in the August 2007 issue of Stuff magazine. She is also on the cover of Runway Magazine along with seven other Deal-No Deal models with a feature inside.

Cora Skinner

2009-02-02T22:50:00.000-08:00

Cora Skinner has a face and body you will recognize, but may not be able to place. She's modeled across magazines and billboards, but perhaps she's most familiar as the girlfriend of reality-star Brody Jenner.

It's hard for us to pick a favorite thing about Cora Skinner's lean and mean 5'9" body. Maybe it's her long brown hair or her deep hazel eyes. Cora Skinner likes her legs the most and she says she isn't afraid to check out the curves of other women either. Yikes. Cora Skinner's mind lends itself to modeling just as well as her perfect body does. She gets a kick out of wearing skimpy clothing and finds it empowering to be considered sexy.

Don't try and seduce Cora Skinner with a romantic dinner and a dozen roses. She readily admits that she doesn't like romantic men or the ultra-clingy types. Instead of the saps, she'll take a man's man anytime. To her, a guy who is rough around the edges but still able to find the humor in life (and himself) is a quality companion. For now, she's found this in Brody Jenner, one of the stars of The Hills.

Besides her notoriety as the companion to Brody Jenner, the bulk of Cora Skinner's achievements have come from her professional pursuits in the modeling world. On the print-modeling side, she has enjoyed multiple calendar spots in everything from Hooters to Garage Girls to BetUS.com. There have also been magazine spreads for the Belgium and Spanish editions of Maxim, a revealing Best Friends pictorial in FHM and cover shots on Sport Truck, Hot Bikes and Import Tuner Magazine.

Cora Skinner has been a busy bee on television. She's done skits for The Tonight Show, played football in her undies in The Lingerie Bowl, served restaurant patrons in The Office, and she also competed to become a model on Deal or No Deal. Def Leppard even contacted her for a role in their video for Nine Lives. Last but not least, she showed up as herself on her boyfriend's show The Hills.
