Is there anything more attractive than a girl or guy of
mixed race? It's the reason we all love neopolitan icecream - it mixes
all of our favourite thing into one beautful package.
So it got
us thinking, who is the hottest? Well, the list is a long one, but I
think we've found a contender - folks, let us introduce you to Melanie
Iglesias.
Born in Brooklyn, Melanie Iglesias is a New Yorker in
it's truest sense. Not only has she lived all over New York City, but
she unites just as many ethniticites as the city herself. This super sexy model has a little bit of everything - Filipina, Spanish, Italian, Puerto Rican, and Brazilian.
Along
with her seven other siblings, Melanie Iglesias' childhood was damaged
by the friction of her parents' divorce and the struggles of
maintaining stability while constantly moving. New homes
meant new schools, and it was her high school music teacher Joanne
Nolemi who initially recognized Melanie’s inherent talent and ambition.
Not
to rest just on her looks, this sassy sexpot has also tried her hand at
singing. "What I figured out is if you really want something you can't
try to be a jack-of-all-trades, you have to master your craft" Iglesias
says of her new found musical career. "My songs are
motivational, they denote a struggle in an up-lifting way; they are
songs to make women feel better, to empower us".
She doesn't
just want to be a flash in the pan either, making sure the products she
creates are of the highest quality "I've had major people interested in
me. I turned them down because they had their own vision and it wasn't
matching mine. There is a way this is going to work for me without changing who I am, without changing any part of me" she says.
Iglesias
is aiming high, with superstars like Jay Z and Janet Jackson among her
biggest idols, "When [my manager] told me someday I could be like Janet
I said, 'Leave Janet out of this! No one can touch Janet'. It doesn’t
mean I'm not aiming for that, though" she was quoted as saying.
She
stands no taller than 5’7” and was recently named a top ten finalist as
New York’s representative in this year’s Maxim Hometown Hotties
competition. She is also a member of the World Poker Tour’s Royal Flush
Girls.
This is just the begininng for this gal, and we expect to see more of her (literally) in the very near future...
