Neferteri Shepherd (1980- ), also known as Neferteri Horn, is an American video vixen, best known as Miss July 2000 in Playboy magazine. She is the best black model to appear in Playboy that I know of.
Here is what we know about her from Playboy (which has not gone metric yet – I added the metric units and the Oxford spellings):
BIRTHPLACE: New Orleans, Louisiana
BUST: 36″ C (91 cm)
WAIST: 23″ (58 cm)
HIPS: 35″ (89 cm)
HEIGHT: 5′ 9″ (1.75 m)
WEIGHT: 118 lbs (53 kg)
AMBITIONS:
To become a successful real estate investor and pursue my acting and modelling career.
TURN-ONS:
Genuinely kind, loyal and honest people who know what they want out of life.
TURN-OFFS:
Complaining, unappreciative people who are unhappy with their lives and want you to be unhappy too.
I WISH I HAD:
The resources to stop violence, especially among America’s youth.
MY MOTTO:
Never let others hold you back from what you want out of life.
FAVOURITE WAYS TO KILL TIME:
Bubble baths, reading and taking naps.
Her measurements give her a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 0.66 – between Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian. That is low for a white men’s magazine, but not for a black one. The white website AskMen.com puts it this way:
Here we go: booty, booty, curves, hips, and booty. Booty. Exquisite and natural breasts. And booty. … the waist to hip to behind ratio that has us in a state of awe.
She does have a great body, but there are plenty of black models who have more amazing bodies – but they rarely cross over into white magazines.
But the best part of her beauty is not her body but her eyes!
I have never met her, but I knew someone who did. He said she was sweet and just like a living Barbie doll.
She has modelled not just for Playboy but also the Hawaiian Tropic, Venus Swimwear, Baby Phat and Shirley of Hollywood. She has appeared in Stuff, Maxim and Black Men magazines.
She has done some acting, but mainly in bit parts. She played a receptionist once on the television show “The Parkers”. That sort of thing. That is pretty common for models. Her biggest part was probably in the 2003 Trina film, “A Miami Tail” (A remake of Aristophanes’s “Lysistrata” set in Liberty City).
Lately she has been a television host on UPN’s “Big City” and Starz’s “The B Side”. She has also been in an Arby’s ad.
She has been in the music videos of 50 Cent and Usher.
She was born in New Orleans, lived in Boston but grew up mainly in Oakland. A day after she turned 18 she tried out for Playboy in San Francisco. Later she went to Los Angeles to pursue acting, where she lives now.
According to Google Insights she seems to have something of an overseas following in Poland and Italy.
She says:
I have majestic dreams of going on safaris in Africa. I would love to go there to learn my heritage and discover the roots of my unique name.
