Video vixens don’t come much more sexy than Vida Guerra.

The Cuban swimsuit model, who started dancing and modelling at an early age, got her first taste of fame after featuring in deceased hip hop legend Big Pun’s New York to New Orleans video. In the clip she sat next to the rap star and danced to beat.

After this, she took a job as a loans officer until the modelling opportunities she dreamed of came up. A friend suggested Vida should sent her photos into FHM magazine, which she did.

It was this that gave Vida her first break. FHM instantly recognised her potential and felt she was perfect for an upcoming feature on “everyday” girls in underwear. After seeing Vida in the magazine’s December 2002, readers were memorized by the bootylicious babe and wrote into the publication begging them let them get another look at Vida’s curvaceous figure and pretty face in another issue.

Bowling under the pressure, FHM called Vida up and asked her to officially pose for the magazine’s March and May 2003 issues. Flattered Vida, of course, agreed.

This exposure quickly won Vida more work. She has since graced the pages of many other men’s magazines, including Maxim and often makes appearances on Spanish television. She was also asked by St. Louis rap group Naturally Smooth to pose for their upcoming album cover.

The most significant job her FHM work secured her was a stint as a dancer of Dave Chappelle’s comedy show, Chappelle’s show.

More work flooded in, including an appearance of Nelly and P. Diddy’s 2003 massive summer smash hit “Shake Ya Tailfeather“.

By the end of this successful year, which she capped off by winning FHM’s Rear of the Year award, voluptuous Vida was now a recognisable model.

Since this time, Vida has become more and more in demand with magazines, rap artists and television stations begging her to feature in their upcoming projects.
