I
always knew that I wanted to model: even at the age of 4 I was
striking a pose. I was born on December 12th in Austin, Texas. I
moved from there to Richardson, Texas and then on to Mission
Viejo, California. As a child, I was made fun of. They called me
"monkey lips" and I really never fit in. My mother told me not
to worry and that my full lips would be on the cover of Vogue
someday. Well, maybe not Vogue, but they did make the cover of
Minitruckin' Magazine.
I
first started modeling at the age of 12. My parents thought that
maybe modeling school would improve my self-esteem. When you are
teased so much, sometimes you start to believe the insults
because part of your self image comes from the feedback you
receive from others. I always felt like a total outcast amongst
the kids at school, however I loved being in front of the
camera
and got a lot of experience early on. Success is definitely the
best revenge as long as it motivates you to do something
positive for yourself. So that's how I got started in this
business. I think it is really important to like what you do for
a living and I absolutely love modeling.
At
19, I got my first paying modeling job. It was a poster for
Jones Performance Fuel Systems. For this job, I had to hold this
carburetor made by Holley. It was called the Dominator, and I
remember that thing was sooo... heavy and I had to hold it still
for practically forever. And they say modeling isn't work... The
finished product was me (just my body) wearing a
patent
leather bikini holding the Dominator carburetor and the caption
read, "Injection is nice, but I'd rather be dominated!". I made
an appearance at the Super Chevy Show in Pomona and signed
autographs at the Jones Performance Fuel Systems booth. I was a
celebrity for a day. I knew then that this was what I wanted to
do.
Nevertheless, I
always thought that someone was going to find me and wave their
magic wand and make me famous. I know now that that is not how
it works. The photographer from the poster, Jeff Tinnion,
recommended me to McMullen Argus Publishing Company and I showed
them my pictures. I got the job to be on the
cover
of Minitruckin' Magazine
in August 1998 and from that I got to be in the Hot Bike and
Street Rodder 1999 Calendars. It has pretty much snowballed from
there. Since then, I've been in an ad for Dragonfly, which ran
in Surfing Magazine for 2 months, Playboy Magazine (Sept. 99
issue, page 177), and appeared on the cover of Hot Rod Bikes
Magazine's January 2001 issue. Now I am appearing on the boob
tube too (LOL!). You might have seen me on the Howard Stern
Productions t.v. show "Son of the Beach" which airs on FX
Networks or starring on the t.v. show WOW Women of Wrestling as
Summer of the Beach Patrol. Not only can I model and act, I kick
butt too! =) I am in the
Diet
Dr. Pepper "Green Bay Watch" commercial which aired over
Superbowl XXXV. Yes, I'm the one that gets hit in the head with
a snowball, LOL! Its all in a days work ya know? *giggle* You
can also
check
me out in Blues Travelers music video "Girl Inside My Head" by

I recently got a
cover
and 31 pages of pics in the July 2002 issue of Muscular
Development magazine. Then they featured me in their August 2002
issue wearing nothing but sand! You can

My goal is to keep modeling for Muscular Development and
hopefully do some of the other fitness magazines too. I still
keep getting great job offers everyday.
I am really
appreciative of all the wonderful people who come and visit my
site. I am so glad that I started the
webcam
and
chatroom
because it has given me the opportunity to get to know a lot of
you. I consider you guys like my family, we spend so much time
together. It's refreshing to have a way that I can meet people
in a completely unsuperficial way, knowing you only by your
personality. I live in Southern California and it seems as if to
a lot of people these days it's all about what you drive, where
you live, what brand you are wearing, how much money you make,
etc. You guys have given me a lot of hope that not everybody is
like that. I invite you to get to know me by visiting my
livejournal
and also my
chatroom
when I am doing a show. For a list of scheduled times please

here.
There's been a lot of people who have helped me along the way. I
honestly think that I have been extremely lucky, oh and good
karma didn't hurt matters any... I'd like to thank Jeff Tinnion
(for getting the ball rolling), Kimiko and friends at Girl2 (for
getting me out of a jam),
VEE,
SpyderDan,
Chad aka TheRatedR-Guy,
Sarah,
Chris,
& Scooter (Friends are forever!), my family (for putting up with
my wild and crazy ways) including my late father; may he rest in
peace. |
