Modeling news roundup

Modeling news roundup



This week’s highlights: Condoleeza Rice – politician, professor, model and Augusta member; Olympic champions cashing-in as models;  Lana Elyse, Ulorin Vex, and Elegy Ellem score covers; and more…

Condoleezza Rice lands modeling gig and becomes a member at Augusta

Who would have thought that involvement in politics could get someone into the modeling world? According to this Global Post article, former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will soon be a part of the NFL’s newest ad campaign, “It’s My Team.” Rice is working with Melania Trump, DJ Kiss and Serena Williams to promote the NFL’s new women’s clothing line. The line will be launched at New York Fashion Week in September.

In addition, USA Today reported today that Condoleezza Rice and business executive Darla Moore will be the first female members Augusta National Golf Club, “one of the most exclusive clubs in the world and the host of the Masters.” It has taken three quarters of a century for Augusta National to reach this point and we applaud their decision.

To know how I’ve made a goal and accomplished that goal, just makes me want to keep going and I can’t wait to see what’s next!” Lana is stunning and we are excited to see what she will do next.
