Vida Guerra

The Latin beauty stepped into the glamour world at an early age taking part in various fashion shows and appearing in music videos. While striving to get a foothold in modelling, she took up a job as loans officer which she quit after hitting it big in December 2002 when the UK monthly men's lifestyle magazine ‘FHM’ featured her in a lingerie photo shoot on their US edition. The feature not only gave her national exposure but also an overwhelming response from readers. Around 70% mails received by ‘FHM’ that month requested for more pictures of Vida Guerra. Adhering to the readers’ demand, ‘FHM’ worked more with Guerra thus featuring more of her photos in the next editions.

In 2004, she became ‘FHM's Model of the Year’ and thereafter gradually started making a mark as a modelling sensation featuring in other men’s magazines like ‘Open Your Eyes’ and ‘Smooth’ and other magazines like ‘Escape’ and DUB’ often appearing as cover girl.

Apart from modelling, she has also appeared in the American Spanish-language entertainment news show, ‘El Gordo y la Flaca,’ and many other Spanish language TV programs. She featured as a musical guest of the American sketch comedy TV series ‘Chappelle's Show’. The advertising campaign ‘Fantasy Ranch’ which promoted the sandwich ‘TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch’ introduced by ‘Burger King’, in 2004, featured Guerra capering with Chicken with other female dancers.

Guerra featured in several music videos including that of American rappers Nelly’s, P. Diddy’s and Murphy Lee’s song ‘Shake Ya Tailfeather’ and in American rapper and songwriter, Kayne West’s song ‘The New Workout Plan’ and gradually became an integral part of many music videos.

Vida was voted #26 and #21 in ‘FHM's Top 100 Sexiest Females’ in 2005 and 2006 respectively and also won the ‘Best Butt Award’ of the magazine twice. Her camera phone was allegedly hacked in April 2005 following which several pictures of the beautiful model including started circulating on the web. Guerra, however, claimed that someone else's nude pictures were morphed with her pictures to give a false impression that these were hers. Her first set of pictures without clothes were featured in the ‘Playboy’ magazine’s July 2006 issue. She gives part credit to the April 2005 camera phone incident that inspired her to pose for ‘Playboy’ so that people can actually see how she looks without clothes.

Vida Guerra was born on March 19, 1974, in Havana, Cuba, and relocated to the US with her family at five years of age finally settling in Perth Amboy in New Jersey. A vegetarian by choice, she featured in a 2011 campaign for ‘PETA’ advocating vegetarianism. Although the hot damsel is neither married nor has children, she has had her fare share of link-ups, the list of which seems quite long starting from Derek Jeter, Boog, Frankie J, Chris Evans, and Jeremy Shockey.
