UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste Getting Celebrity Push

Kevin Iole talks to Arianny Celeste less than a week before her Playboy pictorial hits stands. She tells him about getting the gig with the UFC:
"Basically, all I knew about it from what I had heard was that you had to be able to walk around in a bikini and I said, ‘OK, I can handle that,' " Celeste said. "I was doing modeling gigs on the side in Vegas to get some extra money when I heard about the casting for the UFC. I had no idea what it was. It was a paycheck."
They talk about her big plans:
Celeste, though, doesn't want to be typecast as just a swimsuit model. She majored in fitness management and nutrition at UNLV and wants to further her brand in those areas.
"Carmen Electra meets J-Lo," she calls the "sexy, healthy fitness brand," that she hopes to advance in her future.
She recorded a song, "Fight to Love Me," that will be released at the end of the year. Though it isn't a UFC project, the UFC has gotten involved and plans to help her market and promote it.
"This is a really sharp girl and believe me, she's a really good singer," White said. "She has a lot going for her."
Arianny is following the career path of Rachelle Leah, the first UFC Octagon girl to make the cover of Playboy.
The gig is harder than it looks based on the brutal attrition rate over the last two years. Edith LaBelle was fired after calling in sick for UFC 100 and Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks were both given the axe after UFC 107.
Arianny stands alone at the top of the Octagon Girl mountain, now they're trying to push her into mainstream stardom. I find it interesting that the UFC is putting this much promotional muscle (ie Kevin Iole quoting Dana White) behind her celebrity run. Does Playboy really have that kind of cultural relevance in the Internet age?

Ironic, one overrated person cites two other overrated ppl as a description of hers. Also….where’s the j-lo part?

Tying together brands
While I think the idea of people going out and buying Playboy for this girl or another is long gone and dead, I still think there’s some cache that comes with being associated with that brand. The UFC is using Arianny as an intermediary to tie themselves to another brand that targets a similar demographic to theirs, that’s the rub for Zuffa and co.
Inheriting mainstream credibility one naked ring girl at a time.

I think her biggest gig outside of being a ring girl
was coming back to be a guest ring girl.

Question: Is Playboy still relevant?
I think that Hugh Hefner’s idea still has relevancy, but I don’t think they know what to do with that “relevancy” any longer.
You can find nude girls all over the internet these days and Google will lead you right to them…
… What you can’t find is artistically beautiful nude shots of classical women/icons posing for the magazine any longer. Playboy calls themselves a Gentleman’s review centered around beautiful women, but it seems as though they have transitioned to a bit of everything “pop culture”. Where once you saw Marilyn Monroe posing in tasteful spreads now you see everyday reality tv stars posing.
It’s just not the same.

PREDICTION for 2010-2011 NFL Season: "The England Patriots will finish 8-8 plus or minus 1" ~8/13/10 1230p
Pretty much
I won a free year long subscribtion through a radio contest. Thats the only reason I have one. Oddly enough, the articles in the magazine are more interesting than the pictures. Believe it or not.
I don't know why
But Arianny’s reaction to her photos hitting the web turned me against her. Now, I’ll use the full force of my influence (i.e. convincing maybe 2 of my friends) to also turn against her.
My crusade against her will take a four-point platform:
1. She was probably the most average-looking attractive girl you could think of before buying a pair of tits. She has the Hispanic/Asian thing going for her, but Black/Asian is historically the hotter brand. She trying to ride her attractiveness to fame, but she isn’t attractive enough to get far.
2. “Carmen Electra meets J-Lo” = JWoww
3. Even Heidi Montag released a song. She “sang” it at some nationally televised beauty pageant, if I recall correctly. No one will ever hear about Arianny’s song except for us douchebags in the “Online MMA Community”.
4. She just seems woefully naive about everything.
With that said, I look forward to defaming her further in the months to come.

I don’t get all the hate. If she’s not your cup of tea then fine, but to look at her and say you don’t find her at all attractive you’re either a) lying, or b) gay. She seems like a nice person, all these idiots on the internet talking shit on her get on my nerves a lot more than she does.
I never said I didn’t find her attractive, but still I’m still gonna hate on her. For what good is the internet if I can’t come on here and trash someone I don’t know?
This is America, goddamnit. As Joe Rogan would say, we’re in the balls of the dick that’s fucking the world.

It would be awesome if you had several dozen flipbooks of cartoons to use in lieu of actual conversation.
“What a terrible movie.”
“Hold on, let me get my “haters” flipbook."

So you’re saying she shoudl’ve turned down her job with the UFC and turned down Playboy’s offer? Whoever is paying her apparently think she’s hot and that’s all that matters. When you are paying her you can hire someone else.
personally i dont drop any hate. i wish she had a bigger butt, but i was actually just throwing out a theory to your query

providing she goes for like, another 5 boob jobs and has over 100 surgeries on her face. She’ll then only be like 15-20 cosmetic procedures away from Heidi Montag. And look like a robot, too.

MEH.
I’m over her.
And I’m still annoyed she runs off any hot girls that the UFC hires.
Lets get some fresh blood.

i agree
I’m done w/Arianny. Her stank has gotten old. Secondly, I’ve been done w/Danny Glover. There’s no rational reason why she should be put on my television screen, ever, especially now that I’ve gotten HD! fuckin’ buzz kill
Bring in new blood. Like Brittany Ward from the last event!! Now that shit was smokin!
implants just dont do it for me
plus the way she got others fired?
and yeah her vag looks kinda dark too, ew

Arianny is pretty damn hot, but at the end of the day she’s not very charismatic.

Arianny should be lucky there is a controversy over her photos now
because if you’ve taken a look at them, you’ll know they aren’t anything special. (Honestly, Playboy has the uncanny ability to make all women’s bodies look alike. They could have just taken her head and slapped it on a different girl’s body and no one would know). If anything, the photos being leaked and her fake outrage (sorry, I don’t buy that she’s even remotely angry) helped bring extra eyes to this.
Yeah, I just don't get this
How is it EVERY mainstream model (playboy, SI, whatever) looks EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME? How could these magazines possibly think this is a good thing to do? Have they never heard the Coolidge-and-chickens joke?
"There's this image that you have, this interior image of something that's absolutely perfect, and that's your signpost, your guide. And you'll never get there. But without it you'll never get anywhere."
Playboy is consistently disappointing. They try to inject class into something that is not classy, and it fails all the time by doing what you indicated here, making all the bodies look the same.
I blame air brushing, looking at old school porn before air brushing makes you appreciate air brushing, but at the same time at least women had flaws and that to me has more appeal than computerized perfection.
Her tit is shaped like a cube when you look at it from the side.
