Beautiful, Talented Women Spearhead Launch of Lady Hennessy 2010

NEW YORK, March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the success of Lady Hennessy 2009, Hennessy is pleased to kick off this year's brand ambassador campaign with three fresh faces, and one returning Lady Hennessy, who embody the Hennessy brand—sophisticated, sexy, unique and authentic.  Returning Lady Hennessy, and former contestant on "America's Next Top Model," Toccara Jones will be joined by television personality and model Alesha Renee, music artist Teedra Moses and actress Hayley Marie Norman.
