NEW YORK: The Bowery

Social media has become one of the most powerful media tools spanning the globe. Women from Moscow to Manila have been using social media to catalogue their lifestyle, various profile portraits and advertise their beauty to the world for several years. At first it was almost “laughable” that numerous photos were posted of themselves, often of them snapping the portrait in a mirror or reversing the lens (aka the selfie) to capture their face. Jokes were circulating of how their modeling agency was Facebook or Instagram. Now it appears the joke is on those who found it amusing at first. With followers ranging from 30,000 to nearly 1 million, many of these social media babes are now harnessing the power of their followers and cashing in with advertising and consumer product companies. For us, are merely enjoying the beauty of their posts and recognizing the RED HOT-ness of the women we have come across on Instagram. From bathrooms, bedrooms and beaches to some mysterious location, their their raw beauty is like art being viewed by so many fans. They are rare beauties who have the potential to capture followers with the snap of a camera phone and turn that into a social media gold mine as they laugh all the way to the bank (if they so desire)…

NOTE TO THE READER: THERE IS NOT ANY SPECIFIC ORDER OR RATING SYSTEM AS WE FIND THAT TACKY. WE ARE MERELY LISTING WOMEN FOR VISUAL APPRECIATION. ALL PHOTOS ARE DERIVED FROM INSTAGRAM. PHOTOGRAPHER CREDITS MAY OR MAY NOT BE FOUND, IF NOTED BY SUBJECT, ON EACH INSTAGRAM PROFILE OF THOSE WOMEN DISPLAYED. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE POWER OF BEAUTY.
