Tasha Green, the renowned super model, rose to fame with her striking athletic build and all-Colombian features, captivating audiences worldwide. Born on October 10, 1992, in Cali, Colombia, Tasha left college to pursue a modeling career, after winning the "Look of the Year" contest in 2006.
As a model, Tasha Green embodied the rise of the "super model" as a late-twentieth-century cultural phenomenon. She, along with her sister Tamecia Green, posed on magazine covers, calendars, and fashion runways, becoming celebrities whose fame rivaled that of movie stars and rock musicians.
Tasha's entry into modeling was marked by her intellectual attributes, as she was a fine student and class valedictorian at her high school graduation. She enrolled in Northwestern University to study chemical engineering, but left college after her freshman year to pursue a modeling career.
Tasha's widespread appeal lay in her classic looks, which attracted both men and women. Her athletic physique, with measurements of 34B-24-35, was in distinct contrast to many of the waif-like models prevalent during the 2004 era.
Tasha Green stepped off the pedestal of a celebrity mannequin or glamorous cover girl when she began to assert her personality before the public. She gave interviews discussing her middle-class childhood, the trauma of her mother's death, and her experiences as a model. These confessions humanized her image and made her approachable.
The Tasha Green phenomenon continued with her involvement in fitness videos, commercial endorsements, and her ownership of a multimedia store with her sister, Green's Multimedia. Her already high profile increased with her brief marriage to electronics mogul, and her appearance on a controversial Vanity Fair cover with the openly lesbian singer k.d. lang in 2012.
