This is early Wild footage.

Really early.

No studio.

No lighting crew.

No cameraman.

Just hotel lighting, a handheld camera, and a young Wild figuring out what he was doing.

Enter Paradise/

Paradise came to the hotel with a mission.

Upstage Gia.

Her best friend had already had her turn in front of Wild's camera.

Paradise wanted hers.

This isn't Gia's clip.

This is Paradise.

She talks to the camera like she's already won.

“I love to gag.”

Paradise isn't shy.

She's loud.

She's confident.

A little trashy.

Maybe that's part of the charm.

It's Florida.

Paradise is right there in the name.

Sometimes the name tells you everything.
