The "stand there and look pretty" approach to fame might be satisfying for many young women in the entertainment industry, but for others, living life as eye-candy alone just isn't enough. Such is the case for rising-star, Ms. Gloria "Glo" Velez.New York born and Florida raised, the 27 year old Velez is best known for straight-up killin' video sets of Hip-Hop heavyweights through a lethal combination of sultry moves and raw sex appeal. Her appearances include major roles in DMX' "What These B*tches Want," Ja Rule's "Holla Holla" and as the notorious cowgirl draped-up in white in Jay Z's "Big Pimpin'" -- performances that earned her top honors as BET's "Video Vixen" and XXL's "Eye Candy" of the year awards...but her drive didn't stop there.
