Mileena, Go Hard

Photography by Amy Postle

Ten years ago, the video model was just happy to be here. Today’s vixen is a more aggressive animal. Take 25-year-old Italian, Black and Puerto Rican mash-up Mileena Hayes, who knows all about the grind. The thick smoothie has been on her own since age 17, when she moved out of her mother’s Hartford, Connecticut home, seeking independence, and has only been modeling since 2008, which makes her quick rise all the more impressive. After being featured in Method Man & Redman’s “Mrs. International” video last year, she hustled her way to lead roles in Trey Songz’s club banger “Say Aah” and Red Cafe’s “I’m Ill.” The go-getter informs that, whether handling business professionally or horizontally, she’s a great producer but a poor team player.

When did you begin modeling?

Officially in 2008, but in 2009 I didn’t really do anything, because I had issues with my manager. I didn’t want to sign his exclusive contract, so he started tarnishing my name in the industry. So I kind of had to rebuild myself for 2010. So far it’s going good. I’m doing pretty good by myself.

Didn’t you have your own clothing line at one point?

Yeah. I would dress models backstage at the show, and then at the end I would come out, but people kept thinking I was a model. So one day I tried [modeling] and liked it.

You seem independent yet aggressive. What type of girlfriend are you?

I’m all about my man. I’ll do anything he wants me to. And I mean anything. I’m very sexual and very passionate, and I show that in my relationships.

Would anything for your man include bringing another female into the bedroom?

I’ll do the chick, but he can’t. He can watch, though. I’m not sharing my dick. I suck that dick, I jump on that dick––that’s my dick. Clearly, I’m a little jealous of my dick. [Laughs]. —Bonsu Thompson
