A video vixen (also hip hop honey or video girl) is a female model who appears in hip-hop-oriented music videos. Her only purpose is to show off her body and face for the pleasure of those watching.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Video Vixens and Female Rappers )〕〔Story, Kaila A. "Performing Venus-From Hottentot to Video Vixen." Home Girls Make Some Noise: Hip-hop Feminism Anthology. By Gwendolyn D. Pough, Mark Anthony. Neal, and Joan Morgan. Mira Loma, CA: Parker Pub., 2007. N. pag. Print.〕 The video vixen image has become a staple and a nuanced form of sex work within Black popular music; especially within the genre of hip-hop.〔 Many video vixens are aspiring actors, singers, dancers, or professional models.〔Sharpley-Whiting, T. Denean. (''Pimps up, Ho's down: Hip Hop's Hold on Young Black Women'' ). New York: New York University Press, 2007, p. 26, ISBN 978-0-8147-4014-9.〕 Women from various cultures have been portrayed either as fragile, manipulative, fetishistic, or submissive within contemporary music lyrics, videos, concert and movie soundtracks, although this is not universal, as demonstated by the archetypal Ride-or-die chick. There are two aspects of a video vixen with the first being men artists and male and female video directors objectifying the women in their lyrics and videos. Another aspect was the way women choose to objectify themselves in videos and as female hip-hop artist. Black women are stereotypically the image of a video vixen. The sexualized images of black women have been so predominant in Western media that they now exist at the center of a symbolic group that links female sexuality, animals and blacks. Video vixens are faced with emphasis on their physical aspects for videos where sex is often used to sell both the performer and the performer’s image.〔 Women’s derogatory images are the commodities sold through videos and photographs.〔 ==Stereotyping== The jezebel is a stereotype that depicts the modern day video vixen. Jezebel is a stereotype that is used to describe the oversexualized Black woman. Black jezebel is the bad female who is promiscuous, the embodiment of lust. The jezebel is the promiscuous female with an insatiable sexual appetite. Referred to as "hoochies" "freaks" "hoodrats" or "chickenheads" contemporary Jezebels can be found gyrating in hip-hop music videos. .〔Oliver, Chyann L.
