Gina Carano
To be honest with you, it is hard not to be at least a little in love with Gina Carano. At any rate, she kicked off her career as a Muay Thai practitioner and later went into mixed martial arts instead. This was how she became known as the face of women’s MMA. After retiring from competition, she kept herself busy with modeling and acting jobs. In 2008, she was given the fifth spot on the “Top 10 Influential Women” list. She has since been featured on the pages of both Maxim and ESPN: The Magazine.
Anastasia Ashley
A California girl, Anastasia Ashley started to surf at the tender age of five. Her family moved to Hawaii not long after that. When she was six years old, she won a surf contest by using a run-down board she discovered in the junk outside their house. The year after that, she found a sponsor who helped her get a new board! That said, it is not hard to see that she has always been bursting with talent. Now in her thirties, she has achieved a lot of things both as a pro surfer and a model. We are not shocked by this!
