Whoever said voguing can't get you everywhere is having a nice meal of humble pie right now. Brendan Jordan, whose you better work videobomb went viral, is now the star of an American Apparel ad campaign after making some charming appearances on the talk show circuit.
In the ad, AA gives a little more insight into who exactly this flawless posing/pouting expert is:
Brendan is from Las Vegas. He's half Peruvian (his dad was born and raised in Peru) and he learbed Spanish from his extended family that helped care for him. He enjoys taking photos, shopping and collecting Disney memorabilia. In the future Brendan hopes to have his own TV show and design a clothing line. His biggest inspirations are his great grandmother Lucy and Lady Gaga.
They go on to say that, "we were inspired by Brendan after seeing his fearless act of spontaneity and applaud his efforts with the LGBTQ community."
Deviating away from their overtly sexual (and highly questionable) ads, this is definitely one of American Apparel's better campaigns. Clearly, it's only a matter of time until this kid takes over the world -- watch your back, Oprah.
My real issue is how come we don't so stuff like this? And don't count TerRio.
In the wake of all these shootings, it would be lovely to see the families getting some money off some ad campaigns in Essence or Ebony.
