Bianca Bond Marissa Giselle Pigeé (born January 15, 1990), best known by her stage name of Bianca Bond, is an American model, actress, socialite, celebutante and television personality. She is of mixed Afro-Trinidadian and Puerto Rican descent.
Her mother Patricia Pereira (Puerto Rican), worked at the post office and her father, George William Pigeé (Afro-Trinidadian), was an FBI agent, they divorced when she was very young. In 2004, a teacher suggested she begin thinking about modeling in order to cash in on her legs, which were unusually long for a 14-year old girl.
A native of California, Bond developed her fashion sense early on, as a sales associate at the popular Bloomingdale's department store chain. She was discovered there by Lillian Hedwig, who founded The Fashionista Exchange modeling agency in 1971. Hedwig, recommended she become a model. Bond landed some modeling gigs, but it wasn't until she changed her name and bleached her hair platinum blonde for a prêt-à-porter collection that her career took off.
In 2009, Bond was named one of " California 's 50 Most Beautiful People" by Scratch Couture Magazine. The magazine featured a 10 page portfolio on her as the "it" girl in modeling. By 2009, Bianca (now donning long wavy golden blonde tresses with bangs) was the model for runways and magazine photo spreads.
