Personally I think sex is still as in everyone's face but people just kind of got over the shock of it and started to own it and ask deeper questions or care more about the relationships, like now sex in movies, tv, and games is used more as a tool to show character's relationships, sexuality, and/or to have characters be vulnerable for drama instead of just for raw titillation or comedy. I mean there are sex scenes in some rated M games like Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition even straight up porn games like Hunnie Pop and Gal Gun have blown up in popularity. The early 2000's were a different time where things were more edgy and sex appeal being shoved down your throat every where was the norm, but stuff like this stilll shows up in games. The 2000's gave rise to trashy celebs like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton that got famous from having their sex tapes "leaked", reality shows like Jersey Shore and The Hills were all the rage shows about people getting drunk and sleeping with strangers, and songs like I'm N Luv wit a Stripper, Smack That, Bootylicous, and Touch My Body were pop hits of the era with essentially soft core porn music videos. Also most of the outfits aren't super revealing compared to the clothing of it's time keep in mind the early 2000's was the era where mini skirts, mini shorts, tube tops, and crop tops were trendy I mean, songs like Move Ya Body and Yeah were songs about girls dancing in ways that turned on guys and were both released the same year as this game. This was a racing game made during the height of the early 2000's tuner boom and with all the licensed cars and brands in the game it's not like they couldn't afford to hire some models to shoot 30 second clips and less than a minute of audio each.This game was made back before booth babes were considered trashy here in the US and sex appeal was used to sell everything from pepsi to axe body spray and ladies hair products. These women were models that were paid to perform, not convinced into doing something wrong or demeaning. I truly hope this game gets a sequel some day!ĭude you act like dancing in a bikini is a foreign concept that is repulsive to women. I'm sure it wasn't easy! "Okay, the lighting is great, now strip down to your bikini and do a little wiggle dance." I can just imagine the models responding, "You want me to do what?!?!?!" haha.
Cheers to the casting director responsible for convincing them all to go through with it. It was awesome for me to see so many attractive ladies swallow their pride and dignity by performing a bikini-clad booty dance just for our entertainment. For example, Natasha Yi was the first Asian-American spokesmodel on The Price is Right. Although none of them reached massive levels of fame, they all had very successful careers. If you have an internet connection and a y-chromosome, at some point in your life you've stumbled upon Francine's work.įlo Jalin, Aiko Tanaka, Linda Oneil, Sharon Sotto, Kaila Yu, Natasha Yi - All of these girls were popular around the modeling and car show circuits. She was arguably one of the first "webcam girls," owning and operating her own membership site at a time before such a thing really existed. She did playboy, she was in an Adam Sandler movie, she had her own reality show, she became a huge star.įrancine Dee - While Francine didn't necessarily have a traditional acting/modeling career, she was a pioneer in her own right. Tila Tequila - Right after this game came out, Tila blew up and became massively famous. Whatever happened, it's cool to see her in the game. Then when the camera crew told her "take off your clothes and do a sexy stripper dance in a bikini" she ran for the nearest exit haha. I suspect her agent signed her up for the gig, and she showed up unsure of what it was. I don't know how the hell SRS got her, but I have a feeling something went wrong because she's the only model that had just 1 dancing scene.
#SRS STREET RACING SYNDICATE WOMEN TV#
People forget that Baywatch was the most watched TV show in history (worldwide). She was in NYPD Blue, The Bold and the Beautiful, Mortal Kombat, and most notably Baywatch. that can't really be her can it?" In the late-90's and early-00's Angelica was an A list, world famous celebrity. While I'm not familiar with every single girl in the game, I recognized several of them.Īngelica Bridges - When I saw her in the game for the first time, I did a double-take. I happen to be a connoisseur of fine women, so I was very pleasantly surprised with the cast of SRS.
