Oklahoma. The Sooner State.
The setting of John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Grapes of Wrath and the famous Land Rush of 1889, Oklahoma is a special state all it’s own.
Home to one of college football’s most storied and most successful program over the last 75 years in the Oklahoma Sooners down in Norman and soon-to-be 2017 NBA MVP in Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Oklahoma is a proverbial hotbed of sports, entertainment and modeling talent.
Home to Hollywood A-listers such as Brad Pitt, James Marsden, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Joan Crawford, Kristin Chenoweth, Ron Howard, Megan Mullally, James Garner, Bill Hader, world-famous martial artist Chuck Norris, country music stars such as Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith and Dr. Phil (Phil McGraw) all call the Sooner state home.
Even in the world of modeling, Oklahoma has some famous folks such Olivia Munn, Phoenix-born and Tulsa-raised Amber Valletta and Midwest City’s own in MAXIM cover girl and Victoria Secret’s supermodel Angela Lindvall and one can see why it is perhaps the best kept secret in the modeling world.
Can Instagram fashion, lingerie and swimsuit model, Jessica Costin be the next Okie bombshell to come from Oklahoma?
A slender 5’7 with legs for days, the jet-black haired-stunner has a very unique and exotic look thanks to her German, Spanish and Native American ethnic mix. Thanks to modeling for notable brands such as Dillard’s, Costin’s modeling star is only beginning to shine brightly, as she will be one to keep an eye on.
