Biography |
Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1980, Vida Guerra moved with her
family to New Jersey when she was 6 years old. Outgoing,
even at that young age, Vida 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.
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 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, 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. |
