Buffie Carruth. 34-28… 45! A buxom beauty resident in the cell blocks of many an incarcerated man, a video temptress to free men everywhere. Her image can be seen in stillness on the pages of KING and Black Men’s Magazine, all the way to your personal computer on YouTube.

Coming into the game through an appearance on Tony Yayo’s “So Seductive” video, Ms. Carruth became highly sought out for her “assets” that she provided to the industry. A true Georgia native, this former Body Tap dancer pulled a Madonna and reinvented herself as “Buffie the Body”. Music videos and magazines aside, Ms. Carruth landed a cameo appearance in the Antwoné Fisher penned-T.I. starring feature-length film, “ATL” that made most men green with envy. Buffie says that that part wasn’t even supposed to happen in the flick.

But as Ms. Carruth talks exclusively to HHDX.com she talks about how she’s taking her career to the next level, how she finds herself in 50 Cent’s shoes, why her and DJ Kay Slay just couldn’t work, and why anyone can get knocked out if they come at her incorrectly.

HHDX: The public hasn’t seen you in too many videos and fans can, again, see you in the DVD release of “ATL.” What’s currently going on with you?

Buffie: I’m working on a hip-hop talk show. It’s going to be based out of Atlanta. Also, I start rehearsing for this movie role. We’ll be shooting in Philly. I’ll be a medical examiner in the film. That’s a pretty good role. We actually start filming in September. I just shot a new ad campaign for this denim company. I have a new venture where I will be coming out with exclusive ring tones and wallpapers for cell phones. That’s another thing that’s poppin’ off. Plus, I’m still hosting like seven to thirteen events every month. I’m one of the newest columnists for Black Men’s Magazine. It’s called “Sex, Love and Relationships.” You should be able to see that around the October/November issue. You’ll see me in there.

HHDX: Your first video was with Tony Yayo and since then you’ve been virtually everywhere. After all this time, do you believe that making the change from being an exotic dancer to being a “video vixen” was worth it?

Buffie: Yes, because by me doing that one video it put me in the limelight. The two main things that put me out there in the public was the video with Tony Yayo and KING Magazine. After that, everything was just like a snowball effect. I wasn’t really trying to be in the videos or magazines. It just happened all on chance. How it happened was that I was in Baltimore and a photographer that I was working with took pictures of me and placed it on the Internet without my permission. We had got into an argument about it. I was having the pictures taken for my own personal use. Then it ended up being on every message board in the country, asking about who I was. He sent me a couple of links to the different sites where the pictures were featured at. From there on, Tony Yayo… King Magazine… people started to contact me and from that point on it has been crazy. I’ve been in about sixteen to seventeen magazines in about a year’s time.
