Danger Update

Monica aka Danger

So I was watching For the Love of Ray J re-runs over the weekend and the show reminded me of how crazy Danger appeared to be on the show.  I understood where she was coming from and why she said and did a lot of the things that she did on the show. But hey, I’ve been called crazy a few times myself so I am not one to judge whether this girl is really crazy or not! Anyhow, she definitely created a fan base with her looks and mysteriously dangerous attitude – I thought some of you may appreciate this Danger Update.

From hiphoprx, Monica Leon aka Danger, one of the popular former cast members (the one with the tattoo on her face) off season one’s VH1 reality television show For The Love Of Ray J, is revealing her artistic side in an art exhibit entitled Danger in Wonderland. Though Monica ‘Danger’ Leon has photos of paintings of half-naked women canvases painted with her art, there’s no information as to whether they will be featured as a part of her art exhibit.
