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 clicking here.
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 check out my centerfold on their website
by clicking
here. 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 click
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.
