Shandi Sullivan, 25, became a household name back in 2004, when she was featured on America’s Next Top Model competition. She was eliminated in week 10 and went on to New York to spin records as a DJ. In the meantime, she waits for a modeling contract to come her way.
Sullivan came to Tyra Banks with baggage. The model wannabe had an arrest record for stealing $650, a fax machine and a small safe in an after hours heist at a Mr. Bulky’s candy store when she was 19.
Her arrest mug shot became widely circulated and was a stark contrast to the gorgeous poses that helped her to remain on ANTM for ten shows. Sadly, it wasn’t long enough to catch the eye of a modeling agency. It’s tough to live down a nationally publicized arrest conviction, and two years probation. Both undoubtedly raised red flags for prospective agencies.
Shandi’s current gig finds her spinning records every night at 7:00pm at Piano’s upstairs lounge in NYC. She has an agent and is trying to put together a DJ tour. It started out as a job and she is resigned to turning it into a career.
At any rate, we’ve got pictures of Shandi that are a stark contrast to her mug shot. We’ve included some showing Sullivan spinning records. See all of them on next page.
