Earlier this week, Gloria Velez one of the pioneers of the video vixen/ hip hop eye candy genre made gossip headlines via her blog on GlobalGrind.com. Velez who has now been pushed from her perch by younger, hungrier models is now persuing a second career in music but over the years has racked up quite a high-profile list of ex-boyfriends and playthings including her baby’s father, R&B singer Aaron Hall and Joe Budden.

Perhaps frustrated by her current career path or more likely to make dummies like myself actually blog about her, Velez decided to kiss-and-(almost) tell via her most recent blog entry.  Here’s some of what she had to say.

For those of you who have followed my career as a video/print model, you know of my past relationships … forget all of that sh*t ’cause I’ve got some new life stories to tell ya!!!! You know I always keep it 100 with you guys, I don’t sugar coat anything. So here is my first of many blogs for you to read.

For the past four years I’ve been dealing with this one particular guy, let’s just call him “Mr. SM”. In that time our relationship was on and off, and now it’s officially off!!! Let me tell you why from the beginning. We meet in Hawaii. I was hosting a party. He sent over bottles, then came over introduced himself and asked me for my number so he could take me out sometime. There was instant attraction. From that day on whenever possible we were together. Great phone convo and all of that. I knew it couldn’t be serious because of his age (I am five years older than him), and our distance (after all San Diego is far from Florida. “Wink”! ). So I told him to sow his oats, play the field, just get it out of his system (since he was a rookie at the time. “Wink”!).

Now without much intelligence or investigation its not very hard to tell she’s inferring a relationship with San Diego Charger superstar Linebacker Shawne Merriman.  To further tell his business, Velez details the event that lead to their breakup and what she identifies as her inspiration for the tell-all.

Now it’s February 14, 2009. To show him my love and appreciation I wanted to go all out my way for him (and those who know me know I do not!). So I went shopping for little things and bought two bags loads. Since we already had plans to see each other after Valentines Day. Now I’m waiting for my flowers, a card, a call, something, anything … nothing comes. As night falls I decided to hit him up and I said do you know what today is???? He says, “Yes, I didn’t send you anything ‘cause I know so many n*ggas have sent you flowers and I don’t want to be one of them suckers!” Aren’t you my man???? Isn’t that already different? Doesn’t that set you apart from them other guys?? UMMMMMMMM….? That’s two! So now we are off…

So in honor of your Gloria we salute you with this edition of MODEL WARS.

Today Gloria goes up against yet another pioneer of not only the video vixen game but the bodycount snitching, Ms.  Superhead herself, Karrine Stephens.   She’s featured in a new DVD hosted by Wendy Williams called “Kiss and Tail” in which she talks about her “ride” to the “top” and why she ultimately dropped dime.
