Lizz Robbins (1974- ) is an American hip hop model. In 2005 she was chosen as King magazine’s first Web Girl of the Year. She has been JET magazine’s Beauty of the Week twice, in 2002 and 2005. She is now the spokesmodel for Remy Martin cognac. You see her cardboard cut-out in liquor stores all across America.
She looks like the girl next door – but with a great body: 36D-24-40 (91-61-102 cm). She is shorter than she looks: she is only 5 foot 3 (1.60 metres). She has lovely lips and a sweet smile.
In the five years that I have known about her she has always had long black hair. It may be natural: she is part Cherokee (Native American). She is also part black and Jamaican.
She is not tall enough and thin enough to be a fashion model. But she does look good in pictures – a fact she discovered in high school. She has a face and a body that can sell beer, liquor, clothing, men’s magazines and swimsuit calendars.
She has appeared in King, Smooth, Maxim (as one of the 100 hottest hometown girls in America) and in clothing ads in XXL. She has been a model for Toon Disney, the Lorenzo Collection and even the US Postal Service. You can see a picture of her in LL Cool J’s CD “Todd Smith”.
She has also been on television shows like “The Wire” and “The West Wing”. Her most notable part was when she played a lesbian once in “The Wire”.
She loves sports, even hockey. She would like to have a show on ESPN some day.
Even though she is a hip hop model, she has never appeared in a mainstream hip hop video.
She did not seriously think about going into modelling till high school when a friend of hers took some pictures of her. She has been modelling for more than 12 years.
In 2005 she came out with her own swimsuit calendar. That got her noticed by King magazine. Becoming King‘s Web Girl of the Year in turn got her noticed by Remy Martin.
Her advice to young women who want to get into modelling is to be patient, be careful, work with good photographers (ask for references!), work hard and, most of all, have faith in God.
She is belongs to Alpha Kappa Alpha.
She is now married.
She had an article in the Wikipedia for two and a half years. In November 2007 it was removed.
When she went to find out why, and what she could do about it, the powers that be at the Wikipedia spoke to her like she was a small, troublesome child. They even belittled some of her supporters for their lack of edits.
They told her she was not notable. Becoming the first Web Girl of the Year at King was not enough, but maybe if she won something like that at Maxim, that would be something.

The disrespect the people of mainstream media expressed toward Lizz Robbins isn’t surprising. She’s a beautiful and accomplished young woman in her own right.
Thanks Abagond for spotlighting the unsung Black and mixed women of America and Brazil.
Hats off to Lizz and Abagond!

Amazing. You don’t really perform any sort of research at all BEFORE you post blogs, do you?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_model
There never has been a Lizz Robbins Wikipedia entry. There was nothing to remove! Somebody created a ‘stub’ … and never entered any information about her!!!
Take a look at the bottom of that Wikipedia link I just posted … quite a few hop-hop models listed on there with LESS accomplishments than Ms. Robbins.
THINK AND RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST DRIVEL.
If you want to see her on Wikipedia, then create an entry for her and maintain it with ACCURATE information.

My friend sent me this link. I appreciate the support. Someone did create an article for me on wikipedia a while back and then it got deleted. I found out, I tried to fix it and it was deleted again, didn’t know I couldn’t do it, wasn’t sure how it worked. Then it was cleaned up by the person who originally nominated it, but it was deleted yet again for notability. I stopped trying to argue the issue. Who knows maybe it will be reposted one day. Thanks again! Keep on Blogging!!!!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole
my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
