August 3, 2008: "Ciara To Be New Victoria Secret's Model"
Ciara is looking to expand her modeling portfolio. The star is taking her modeling chops to Victoria's Secret. "It's a perfect fit. It plays with her personality and her coming of age," says Lisa Cambridge, a rep from Ciara's label. It's been a busy year for the star's fashion career. She recently signed a deal with modeling agency Wilhelmina Models and has aspirations to begin her own clothing line. She's reportedly in talks with Steve & Barry's to start the clothing line, which would be affordable and accessible. A Victoria's Secret opportunity would enhance her fashion and modeling resume. "It's tasteful, sexy and beautiful, just like her," says Cambridge. *** March 6, 2008: "Ciara Works The Drive-Thru!" Morning rush hour customers at McDonald’s enjoyed the celebrity treatment – literally – as Grammy-award winning R&B songstress Ciara took breakfast orders at the McDonald’s® 50th Anniversary Restaurant in downtown Chicago. To end a two-day national event, where McDonald’s estimates restaurants gave away over two million of its new breakfast menu item, the McSkillet Burrito, Ciara worked the counter and drive-thru for two hours, serving hundreds of customers. “I think that out of the one million burritos that McDonald’s served, I handed out somewhere around a couple of hundred,” joked Ciara. McDonald’s breakfast lovers had no clue Ciara was behind the counter, as the location of where she would work that morning was kept secret. Neil Golden, Chief Marketing Officer McDonald’s says if Ciara ever departs from her singing career, she’d definitely have a job at McDonald’s. “If we could get Ciara to be one of our crew people, we would take her in a heart beat and she would have a brilliant future,” said Golden. *** Music Singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, actress Ciara pictures (pic) and photo gallery, Albums covers pictures.
