Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81086, member: 636"] A Love Island USA contestant just made Wikipedia's official It Girl list. Olandria Carthen, known as Bama Barbie from Decatur, Alabama, joined a category with figures like Grace Jones and Ayo Edebiri. The Tuskegee University graduate gained fame during season seven for her style and relationship with Nic Vansteenberghe. Her team has pushed a high-fashion path beyond typical influencing. She walked for Sergio Hudson and attended major front row events. This recognition follows her inclusion in Cosmopolitan's Z-Stars class for trendsetters. The Wikipedia list defines an It Girl as having a unique magnetic appeal. Her placement there signals a major cultural impact from reality TV. It marks a shift from her previous work in elevators to a rising icon status. [/QUOTE]
