Who is Arisce Wanzer?
Arisce Wanzer is not just a model, but a comedian, and actress as well. Born and raised in Virginia, Wanzer was only 14 years old when she found her life's purpose of being a model. She watched a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and soon after, Wanzer was inspired to pursue fashion and modeling. She moved to Miami to attend the Art Institute of Miami. She describes the city as a "trans Mecca". She lived there to kickstart her modeling career before making the big move to New York City.
During her time at Miami, she was often asked when she'd transition, thereby, learning what the term transgender meant. This was also when she herself realized what her sexual identity was. At 19, she came out to her mother, who was very understanding and supportive of her daughter's choices.
Whilst exploring her identity, Wanzer actively participated in a drag troupe for about four years. She also took part in several shows at Miami Fashion Week and walked the ramps for New York Fashion Week and Los Angeles Fashion Week.
What's more, Wanzer was the first trans model to have been the cover girl for the Spiegel catalog! She has also made her appearances in Elle, Vogue, Vogue Italia, Forbes, and Purple, in addition to working with the talented, high-profile photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
Wanzer has modeled for TopShop and the Opening Ceremony and appeared in Strut on Oxygen and the trans-focused comedy web series called 'Fish Tank' along with co-star Isis King.
In June 2019, Wanzer walked the red carpet at LA Pride and was interviewed by the honorable associate producer of Amazon's 'Pride: The Series' Braden Bradley.
The dating series is shot on the Gran Canaria Island of Spain and will see Derynn Paige, Ray Gantt, Da’Vonne Rogers, Bryce Hirschberg, David Barta, Kyra Green, Jonathan Troncoso, Ranin Karim, Alain Lorenzo, and Wanzer as the singles.
The exes on the show are Nicole O’Brien, Caro Viee, Emily Salch, Sher, Kat Dunn, Jamar Lee, Minh-Ly Nguyen-Cao, Ricky Rogers, Mike Mulderrig, Dani Coco, Elias, Nicole Amelia, Joelle Brian, and Alexis Christina.
