Thursday, 11 June 2009

NAMIBIA’S supermodel, Behati Prinsloo, continues to blaze the global entertainment industry with her latest role in a video of one of the best songs of 2008.

Behati acted in the video “Rich Girls” by New York band The Virgins, a song ranked as number 68 by US prestigious entertainment magazine, Rolling Stones in its list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
The hit song, “Rich Girls” video that Behati has posted on her profile on the social utility network, Facebook, is also available on YouTube and MySpace.
The video is spiced up with glamour, as Behati, dressed in short white lingerie, pulls erotic dance moves with the band under disco floodlights.
Behati, ranked the 26th most beautiful model in the world, is the only daughter of a Namibian Pastor Boet Prinsloo.
Prinsloo replaced the world’s highest-paid model, Brazil’s Gisele Bundchen as Face of Victoria Secrets.
According to Forbes, Bundchen is the 16th richest woman in the entertainment world, having earned US$33 million in 2007 and US$35 million in 2008.
Her fortune is estimated to be US$150 million (over N$1,5 billion).
According to MySpaceMusic.com, The Virgins is an American band formed in 2006 in New York City consisting of Donald Cumming (vocals, guitar), Wade Oates (guitar), and Nick Zarin-Ackerman (bass).
The band has toured with Jet and opened for Sonic Youth and Patti Smith and played at the All Points West Festival in 2008.
They also performed at the 2008 SXSW festival, and toured the United Kingdom with The Pigeon Detectives in November and December 2008.
The Virgins are best known for their single “One Week of Danger”, a fairly innocuous slice of mainstream garage rock ‘n’ roll that graced the soundtrack of regrettable US teen TV series Gossip Girl, MySpaceMusic.com says.
