Modeling might be a good gig, but apparently it can't compete with cocaine smuggling.
Media reports say Colombian-born lingerie model Angie Sanselmente Valencia, 30, quit her day job to smuggle vast amounts of the drug from Argentina to Britain with the help of other female glamor models.
But now the woman who was named Colombia's "Queen of Coffee" in 2000 is allegedly on the lam.
The allegations surfaced a few weeks ago with the arrest in Argentina of a 21-year-old model, who was caught with 55 kg of cocaine at the Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, according to the UK's Daily Mail.
Adding to the intrigue is how Valencia reportedly used to go out with a Mexican drug lord nicknamed "The Monster," but parted ways with him to start her own competing drug gang.
