"I was born
November 16, 1968 in Athens, Greece. (Yes, I am a Scorpio, the
sex sign of the zodiac. What else could you have possible been
expecting!) My father was a young Navy officer from "Happy Days
Land" in Wisconsin and my mother, a young flight attendant from
New York. Talk about an odd couple. The blending of these two,
tied me into so may ethnic and
religious backgrounds that I can't possibly call myself
anything but an American. I was the oldest of four children.
I have a sister and two brothers. We always had lots of pets and
lots of people around our house. We moved around a lot because
my dad was in the Navy, so I became very outgoing. The nice
thing my dad being in the Navy is we mostly grew up around the
ocean. We spent most of my childhood in Virginia Beach,
Maine, Florida and Malibu, California.
After my freshman year of high school I moved from Malibu to
Northern Virginia. I was not looking forward to leaving Malibu!
I was what you would call a tomboy, surfing and having a lot of
outdoor fun. I loved the California beach life. In this picture,
I'm the girl on the far left. Note that my friend Jackie wrote "tit
power" on my uniform. My sister and I got teased a lot for
having big breasts in high school. We just kind of rolled with
the punches.
My father decided it was time for me to do something with my
life and entered me in the Miss DC Teen USA Pageant. Much to my
surprise, I won. With a title under my belt, I became instantly
popular, but I learned the lesson very young that true
friendship means more than popularity. My high school sweetheart
went to VMI and I became their Homecoming Queen.
For a while there, my ego started to outgrow my body.
My mother, once again, decided to do damage control. She would
scold me with her thick New York accent, and say things like "I
don't know what you're admiring, your ass looks fat in those
jeans," and "you know with make-up you're a pretty girl, but
without it you're not so hot!" Then my father got me a job at a
mess hall at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico Virginia, where I
worked 12-hour days all summer long at $5 hr. I was feeding
Marines breakfast, lunch and dinner and sweeping and mopping
floors the size of a gymnasium. (Very effective damage control!)
I saved money for college and off I went to study dental hygiene.
I was doing great academically as an honor student when my bank
ran dry and I didn't know what to do to pay my tuition.
I started to model. My first big assignment was a Pepsi
commercial with Michael Jackson. Then I did an ad for Joico
perms. That's a joke because my hair never held a perm, and I
have a difficult time having it hold curl. I also did ads for
Ultima II make-up, Woodward and Lothrop Department Stores, and
lots of little jobs here and there to help pay off the rest of
my college. When I graduated, I headed back to Malibu, and I
modeled mostly.
I did swimwear and calendar jobs. Then I was almost raped by a
non-reputable casting director, so I gave up modeling for good.
Then one day I bumped into Playboy photographer David Mecey at a
photo lab. He tried to get me to test for them."Oh, Hef wouldn't
want me. I am just not the type that is going to sit around the
mansion and chase him and all of his friends." David just
laughed and said, "Suzi, it is not like that. It is very
professional and you never do anything you don't want to do."
Well, the rest is history and I'm very grateful to Hef for
making me Miss January 1992 and to all of my supportive fans. It
has launched an incredible modeling career and a life that most
people only dream of. So I wanted to make a nice site for my
fans and this site is personally designed by me for you!!!
