LN: Where are you from originally?

I am from Reno, NV. A little mini-version of Las Vegas. Growing up with all those casino’s around, you would think I would be a gambler but I’m really not. I’m immune to all that now because for me its normal, its my town.

LN: What did you like most about growing up in the Reno?

There’s really quite a lot to do in Reno. My parents would take all the kids to Circus Circus, one of the more family oriented casino’s with fun games, toys and prizes. Summers were spend in Lake Tahoe tanning, swimming and hiking, which is only 45 minutes away. Winters were great back then too for playing in the snow, now I’d rather be watching from inside. I just really enjoyed being a kid in a great enviornment. I had the best childhood.

LN: What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

Oh Lord, too much! I wasn’t a bad kid by far, but mischievious is definitely the right word! I was rebellious, bratty and very bossy. I was a good kid but with a defiant disposition by talking back to everyone, pulling pranks on teachers, commanding my friends around…But I was a cute kid and who could stay mad at someone who has mastered the sweet innocent ‘doe eyes’? Good times! I kept my parents on their toes for a few years there, bless their hearts. I am completely calm and relaxed now though.

LN: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I have sky dived before but I consider myself a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so it wasn’t that crazy…I suppose then it would be the time I was body painted for an event at the Playboy Mansion. The guy who painted us was a true artist and very professional. We walked the red carpet and I remember being a little paranoid about the flashes of the cameras exposing too much, but most people couldn’t even tell it was bodypaint! They thought it was a cute little lingerie outfit until they got upclose. Very funny. That stuff is actually pretty hard to take off. You really have to scrub and it sort of peels off. Despite what some may think because I model a lot in swimwear, I am not an exhibitionist by any means, so this for me is pretty out there.

LN: What’s your favorite hobby and why?

I love playing tennis. I do not like going to the gym so this is a great disguised way of getting healthy. Hitting a ball back and forth is a wonderful way to get out frustrations while practicing your form. And I’m not going to lie, the outfits are fabulous!

I also enjoy writing. I write a lot–its good for the mind. It is a way to get creative and expand your vocabulary. Who knows, maybe someday I will retire from modeling and write a book.

LN: What’s your guilty pleasure?

Wine for sure. I love it. All kinds but especially white wine. Despite my small frame, I am a legendary drinker. I really try to limit how much I consume because it certainly isn’t the healthiest habit, but I let myself indulge on a bottle during dinner and when celebrating.

LN: Who do you admire?

My parents. They are my role models and I want to raise a family like they have someday (in the very distant future). They’ve been married for over 25 years! It sets a standard to how I want to live. I either want to marry for life or not a all–I take it that seriously. My parents are so loving and instilled very prominent morals and values that I still practice in my everyday life. I admire everything about them. Mom and Dad gave me so much and I hope to give back to them someday with their dream house. I plan to. Thats the goal.

LN: What’s one of your personal goals?

To open a business of my own. What kind? I am not sure yet. Either a bakery, designing swimwear or a little upscale boutique for dogs. A model’s career is very short lived so its best to maximize your resources and take advanatage of opportunities while you can. Life has a funny way of working itself out though. I will be happy either way. That or writing that book I was telling you about.

LN: What do guys compliment you on the most?

I know what you’re thinking, most people get caught staring at these two massive babies…my eyes, of course! They are a lovely shade of gray.

LN: What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

Body part huh? I was going to say eyes or lips but they are hardly attached to a part of my body. Alright then, I would say my abs. I was blessed with a tiny waist line. I also really love my legs too. Very long and slender yet shapely.

LN: What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

I don’t think I have a least favorite part. I don’t say that in an arrogant way at all. I just grew up with a Mother who never had a negative body image. I wish a lot more women were this way. I hate it when they are hard on themselves–I just want to hug them. Thats why I compliment people a lot. I want to make them feel good.

LN: What do you look for in a guy?

I am attracted to men with morals. I also appreciate someone who is close to their family–that says a lot in my book. Someone kind, generous, confident and that my parents would approve of. I am very traditional in that sense. Gentlemen rank high on my list. Very high. He also must be an animal lover. I have pets of my own and love them so much. Animals are so innocent and loving, how a person can not like them is beyond me.

LN: What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

What he is wearing–it says a lot about a person. Plus I just enjoy fashion. I’m not like a lot of people who notice physical things, that is actually the last thing I pay attention to. I don’t care about big muscles or a perfect body. I look for personality and compatability. But I must admit, I do love a man in a suit.

LN: What’s your ideal first date?

You know, before, I tended to like a first date to be fun. Like equestrian riding, boating, dancing…but I actually appreciate a more tradition date now (we can save all that other stuff for the second date, if there is one). Dinner at a nice restaraunt, drinks, maybe a show, and don’t forget the roses. It is such a thoughtful and little thing to do but it earns a man big points. I don’t like first dates to last an incredibly long time because two people are just getting to know eachother, but impress a woman and be yourself.

LN: What turns you on?

Chivalry and bluntness. What I love about New Yorkers compared to Hollywood is that people in LA tend to be fake and fabricate things just to get ahead. When I am in New York people seem to speak to me with a very real and genuine dialog. They make me laugh! Even their mannerism are very charming to me. They just speak their mind whether you agree with it or not. I respect that.

LN: What turns you off?

I dislike injustice. Also rude people, especially when directed towards service individuals, or subordinates. They may be ‘under’ you in social status, but we are all humans and should respect one another. Arrogance, not to get this confused with confidence. Take pride in what you do and how you do it but nobody has any reason to be conceited. And smokers, it may look cool in movies but have you kissed a smoker? Not very sexy.

LN: Do you own a lot of lingerie?

A lot! I have a whole dresser and designated space in my walk-in closet dedicated to lingerie. While I wouldn’t be caught dead without a fabulous pair of stilettos, I am actually a bit of a conservative dresser now but there’s something very sexy and empowering about wearing sensuous lingerie under your clothes. Like a fun little secret. Nobody knows what you are hiding under there but you. It gives women that extra confidence and flirtacious strut.

LN: What type of lingerie do you feel sexiest in?

It depends on my mood, really. I’m not big on bra’s because it is incredibly difficult to find anything my size, but I am a notorious wearer of thigh high stockings. They instantly make anything look classier, sexier and more enticing. It looks amazing on women of any age. From 18-80. Yes, I believe a lady can still be seductive at an older age. Go get ‘em, Grandma!

LN: What’s your biggest pet peeve?

When people answer a phone call or text during a conversation or dinner. I admit that in the past I have done this before so I tend to be better about it now since I know how much it aggravates me. It is disrespectful to the other person, like they aren’t much of a concern to you. But at the same time I am reasonable. If it is an important business contact or if you are awaiting a serious call, I can understand that.

Who’s your celebrity pass?

Johnny Depp. That man is gorgeous and gets better with age. He is not scandalous or fame hungry. I guess my taste in men remains the same. As a young teen I remember having a crush on him and I still do. But I am not the cheating type. Even if my guy gave me the okay to do it, I honestly wouldn’t. I could be in a relationship with a rock and remain faithful.

LN: What would we be surprised to know about you?

That I am actually quite religious. I didn’t care for it too much growing up, but one day when I was around 20, a passion just awoke in me. I started going back to Church, reading the bible, and praying. It really has made me a better person. More kind and humble. I feel like who I am now is the person I was born to be. I seriously owe a lot to my faith. I feel very blessed. In addition, I am an excellent baker. I may not cook, but I can bake pretty much anything. Dessert is always provided by me.

LN: Before we leave, any last words?

I would like to thank you all for checking out my interview with Lingerie Nights and be sure to check me out on facebook and follow me on twitter.
