Perry Mandinga is tall, dark and HANDSOME. He also has a great smile and was chosen as one of the final four beating out over 300 other contestants in the model search program, Rip the Runway. Sorry ladies, but he is married with twin daughters so look but don’t touch! He seems to be a favorite on the show and the people from Apple Bottoms loved his look. I tell you, when an African brother walks the runway, he makes the whole room swoon!

Born in Guinea, he moved to Portugal with his family when he was 14 years old. He decided he had a better chance of being a model in the US so he relocated, a great judgement call. He starred in a Nigerian soap campaign

The other contestants are Jamillah Farrakhan, minister Farrakhan’s granddaughter, Christina Mendez, Shyloh Wilkinson, Christina Mendez (repping the big girls with a lot of style), and Bobbi Jo Kitchen. Visit the website to learn more about them.
