Whenever I hear
the name of Christina Lucci aka Christina Model, all that comes to mind is
one queen who, during her time and against all odds, managed to be such a big
thing by just being herself. We speak early 2000s, a time back into the past
when there was no social media. It was hard then to be popular; influencers
were not a thing back then.
There was no such thing as fashion enthusiasts or free people who had their own fan base following them, and Fashion was a thing reserved for the runaway elites. Even ladies who were lucky enough to make it to the level of appearing on those runways did not have much say in what they wore or promoted. This was decided on by the agency they worked for. As you can see, there was no such thing as individual popularism.
How did people make it to being celeb standards? It was hard, and even for musicians, you had to sell your CDs far and wide. Meaning most people would never make it past the small place within the city they lived in, much less go international. That was the period in which Christina came to light. And for that, she earned a legacy as a trendsetter in terms of sensational personality and model.
So, who is Christina?
Christina is a New Jersey-born model with a super tanned Florida girl aura, though she is caucasian. She was born in May 1985, and that makes her late thirties. Basically, she came from a loving family and she has been described to have been a very curious and active child. Something that followed her to her adulthood and possibly the reason she is worth talking about today.
What basically made her stand out back in the 2000s was her petite body physique; even at 5’3”, she had more than her share of curves and boobs. Most videos from the back of the day have shown she had the best physical appearance, even by today’s standards. Besides, her personal aesthetics carried weight with her navel piercing and two tattoos that made her seem like someone who loved to be herself and did not want to be confined by societal standards back then because that brought a lot of backlashes, but who cares?
Her legacy came
from being a model at the age of 16. She rocked the world by having a lot of
captivating photos and videos. This catapulted her into appearing as a video
vixen for the song “ As Like That” by Eminem. As a dancer, she used to
stand out because of her bubbly and active personality. Everywhere she appeared
she always stood out among the group as she loved dancing. Before long she was
recognized as a passionate dancer. Added to her beauty, she attracted a lot of
people. Other than that, she brought the culture that is common today.
Something like risqué aesthetics can be traced back to
Christina Lucci. Back in the day, she already wore t-shirts with catchy slogans
like “Not
everything is flat in Florida.”
Her aesthetics
were generally characterized by daring and rebellious design. She would wear
anything that turn heads and shows a lot of skin. And this brought the right amount
of publicity on her end. It served her well. She was popular. And years down
the line, today’s
influencer borrows a lot from her, especially when it comes to personal
aesthetics and choosing to do things in one’s own way without fearing the ridicule and the backlash it attracts.

Today, Christina
still models and has been seen to be particular with bathing suits and risqué aesthetics. Unfortunately, she is not a very
heavy social media user. She currently has no known Facebook, Instagram, or
TikTok handle, where she makes a lot of appearances. But you really have to
understand she comes from an age where she broke all the odds to rise to a star
without smartphones and social media. It is for the culture’s sake that she is minimizing her
online presence. However, she still does a lot of fashion shoots and lingerie
attires. These videos are photos are commonly shared on the Shore Thang YouTube
channel, where she gets accolades from loyal fans who really recognize her
talent and legacy, many years later
