Do you have any bad habits that you do or don't want to share?I have a lot of trouble holding on to money. It's as though the stuff burns a hole in my pocket. I feel the need to blow every penny. The more I make, the more I spend-it's a vicious cycle.
Anything else that you don't want to share? I'm a pretty paranoid person. Maybe not too trusting.
What sort of paranoid?Like people are out to get me, mild persecution dreams. I panic at home, alone at night, when I hear strange sounds in the house. Sometimes I believe my dog is throwing his voice. (Just kidding.)
How do you feel about 5'10" Asian men who are convinced they are 5'11"? Do they float your boat?I had a boyfriend who claimed he was taller than he really was. I wanted to ask, Why? I mean, what's with guys and this whole size issue for everything? (Here, here.-RC) I wanted to ask him, Who're you fooling? You're short. It sucks. You can't reach the high cupboards and will never dunk. I mean, deal with it.
Wow, thanks for the seg-way into my next question. Have you ever been impressed, or perhaps even suffered emotional scars just by the sight of the size of mans' shoes or hands? By the way, I wear a size 12 and can palm a basketball.
No, I'm not impressed by size. I'd probably be more impressed by a guy who can touch his nose with his tongue. If that's not there, the more important quality for me in a guy is that he be able to make me laugh. I'm very particular about personality and a guy who's funny. By funny, I mean not annoying, making silly noises type of funny. Chris Rock is funny, but he can be a bit too vicious at times. I'm not into funny that is at the expense of others. I seek that master of what I call "cute-funny". I really dig Conan O'Brien. He's self-effacing and pathetic in a cute sort of way, and really doesn't take himself too seriously. (He's also 6'5" and wears a size 14 shoe. Put that in your "size-doesn't-matter-file" fellas.-MD).
So, as a model, I imagine you travel quite a bit. Where has your favorite workplace taken you to?I really like big cities. I did a show in Tokyo, and I really loved it. I actually wouldn't mind living in Japan for a period of time. There is just so much action in Tokyo. The people are real down to earth and humble, not like Americans. The Japanese all seem to be happier. Technology is everywhere. There are these little kiosks that you can download music from on the street. They're great. I've also been to Mexico, but not long enough to get sick, so I guess I really don't know Mexico.
What did you think about the guys in Japan? Were they cool or just small?Oh, the guys at the shows were nuts. They're nuts for technology and they've got these clever camera setups they use to try to peek under girls' skirts. It's no big deal over there. The girls are more submissive, I think. Over here, the models can be more vicious about that stuff and those guys would end up with a stiletto up their asses.
What, if anything, is there that you would like to improve about yourself physically or otherwise?Physically, I wish I could get toned. I'd like to be able to start working out and stick to it. Really, I don't feel it's necessary, so I never do it. I also wish I could be a little more outgoing. I'm not good about throwing myself out in the open, and I can become withdrawn. I wish I could be more gregarious in social settings.
What car do you drive?Currently, I drive Daewoo Nubira. Stop giggling. People expect me to drive a tricked-out car or a Benz or something. I don't know why, but they tell me, "I bet your car is hella phat." No, it's just practical. I'd love to own and drive a sports car, but being so paranoid about speed and safety, it would a tough buy. I guess if Volvo ever came up with a sports car, I'd be all over it.
