Following this slight exposure, Guerra returned to her normal life. She took a job as a loans officer, but still kept her eye out for modeling opportunities whenever they came. After browsing through an FHM magazine, a close (and very wise) friend suggested she send in pictures of herself. With nothing to lose, Guerra did just that.

Overwhelmed with the response, the magazine called Vida back and asked her to officially pose for them. Jumping at the opportunity, Guerra agreed and was featured very scantily clad in both the March and May 2003 issues. Now that her face (and behind) were out there, people began to take notice. The St. Louis rap group, Naturally Smooth, even asked her to pose for its album cover.

Following this magazine work, Vida was recruited to dance on Dave Chappelle's comedy show, appropriately called Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central.

Her big booty also made Guerra a perfect fit in P. Diddy , Nelly and Murphy Lee's "Shake Ya Tailfeather" video, which was a popular rap hit in the summer of 2003.

She was honored at the end of 2003 with FHM 's "Rear of the Year" award and was then cast as a muse in the comedy short Writer's Block .

Now a recognized model, Guerra grabbed more headlines after appearing with tight end Jeremy Shockey of the New York Giants at the opening of Jay-Z's New York nightclub. The relationship -- if one could even call it that -- did not last long, but Vida did not need to rely on a boyfriend to make the news.

With her calendar for troops serving in the Middle East (and one for FHM ) she continues to be a hot commodity.

These days, Guerra can be seen dancing in another rap video; this time for Cassidy's single "Get No Better." In January 2004, she signed to a new management company, F/C Management, and is well placed to find work as both a model and actress. Word on the street is Vida could be starring regularly on a yet-to-be-announced MTV program, as well as in her own movie. Keep your fingers crossed.
