Phaedra Parks Announces Modeling Contract, Talks G-Strings and Burying Dead People!

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks has a new job to add to her broad resume — model!

On Tuesday, the 5-foot-1 attorney announced she signed with Wilhelmina modeling agency. 

“I think I’m the face of “yes you can.” I’m a small town girl who has followed her dreams. Yes you can be a mom, yes you can be a lawyer and yes you can be a model.” Parks tol d US Weekly. “When the opportunity presented itself some people asked me “Why?’ and I said “Why not?” A supermodel started this company and she wanted to give power back to the women and I think I stand for the same things. I have the opportunity to show people that beauty can come in every size, shade, color and age. It’s exciting and an adventure!”

In regards to her representing an under-served market.

“I feel great about being different, in light of what’s going on now, politically … I think women need to be empowered to stand in their truth, to be different, dare to be diverse and stand up in times of controversy. I’m excited for that part.”

What her dream campaign would consist of.

“Well I would love be the face of skin care brand. I have great skin, I love makeup, but I love to be able to take off the makeup and have beautiful skin. I also think a lot of girls are looking on Instagram for an idealized standard of beauty that requires a lot of makeup. Those are not the faces of what real women look like.”

On showing skin and getting naked for the camera?

“I don’t mind baring it all, I have been wearing g-strings and baring it all really every season for seven years. I had two children on national T.V.  I love nudity! I’ve brought a lot of exotic entertainers on the show, so I love my body and I’ve got curves. I’m a mother of two children, so I’m not perfect, but I have no problem getting naked.”

Did her recent divorce from Apollo Nida drive the former RHOA star to get a revenge body?

“Well, a lot of things happened in my personal life. Going through everything was so much stress, but then when it finished it was just effortless. I feel like I turned into Benjamin Button and started aging backwards, I started being happy.”

Everyone knows that in addition to being an attorney, Phaedra is also a mortician — but is she still burying folks? 

“Being a mortician is a passion of mine and everything I’m passionate about I just dive right in. This is our peak season actually, the peak season from deaths is from Halloween to around Valentine’s Day, so we’re very busy — people are going to glory pretty regularly. I’m directing a few funerals this weekend. I know it’s morbid, but I love being the final party planner.”

Phaedra Parks’ modeling career is up for debate — can she cut it as a professional model? Sound off in the comments!
