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 stopping by one of my LIVE
shows.
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.
