Talk:Video Vixens

video models aka "video vixens"
"video Vixens" aka as video models or according to urban dictionary, a ''video vixen" is...

1. A female of color or mixed ancestry who is stripped of her clothes, belittled and put into rap videos for the sole purpose of being a sexual prop or a "bitch" or "hoe". However, these tramps CHOOSE TO DO THIS GARBAGE! So there is no need to sympathize for them. Anyhoo, these cunts--I mean, women are featured in lad mags targeted towards Black men ages 18-35, in photos only showing them in bikinis or half-naked with their enormous ass drenched in oil and taking up most of the space in the photo.

Video vixens are usually light skinned or mixed with some outrageous background like Black/Egyptian/Japanese or Japanese/Puerto-Rican/Australian Aborigine. Video vixens are also evidence of why mainstream hip-hop is a joke.

2. What 75% of women ages 16-30 of African American descent, Asian/Black descent, Latino descent or mixed heritage, who have been told since childhood "You are pretty! You should model!" by every person who comes in contact with them, think that they should be at the risk of being harassed by misogynists and perverts.

I wanted to emphasize on the statistics that are shown here and how woman of "color" are the only ones being magnified. For example "white" girls also partake in music videos, but they are not seen as degraded woman they are portrayed as video models. Also, what I found shocking about the term "video vixen" was that when I googled it a bunch of video girls came but no where was I able to find the actual 1975 video vixen film, I had to google video vixen 1975. That just comes to show how the "other" video vixens are a part of our culture.

positive outcomes...
Even though these ladies for the most part are perpetuating stereotypes, there are some positive outcomes. Some of the ladies have turned their objectification into an advantage for themselves like entrepreneurship. For example the notorious video vixen karrine Steffans wrote a controversial book of her life in the hip hop world titled Confessions of a Video Vixen. Others have pursued modeling and acting careers such as Melyssa Ford and Vida Guerrera. On the latest news for entrepreneurship some of these ladies have scored a reality TV show on E! called Candy Girls, that is based on the lives of five music video models who work for the biggest music industry agency that books jobs for videos, which was founded by danielle the main character of the show.--Lupangodiaz 08:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)|♥♥♥♥--Lupangodiaz 08:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lupangodiaz (talk • contribs) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lupangodiaz (talk • contribs) 08:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

negative outcomes
Many video vixens have to deal with being objectified as sex objects on the screen as well as off screen... Some of them are belittled by the artist but mostly by the artists entourage, where sometimes they are forced to partake in sexual activities with out their consent. Even though many people believe that because they choose to have this type of occupation they deserve to be treated with this such a demeaning demeanor. But in fact this is no justification. --Lupangodiaz 09:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lupangodiaz (talk • contribs)

None of which have anything to do with this article
This article is about a movie named Video Vixens, and which came out long before any of the above situations came up. If you want to make an article about those "video vixens" go ahead, and there'll probably have to be a disambig page. Fitfatfighter (talk) 07:50, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
