Cosmo Cover Girl
US Cosmopolitan July 1989
Hometown:
"I was brought up in San Diego and have been living here again, but I'll be moving to the San Francisco area. I want to be near a happening city but in a really private place. Maybe a cabin in the woods with beautiful views."
Height and weight:
5'10", 125 lbs. "Definitely not skinny - and my hips are big. I went on the Pill, don't eat superhealthy. ... I have to start working out."
Beauty Beat:
"My skin is a problem. Stress and makeup cause breakouts, and right now, because I'm looking for a new place to live, I am a little stressed. I use scrubs and cleansers a local girl makes up for me - real natural stuff. My hair is so damaged I have to condition it constantly, sometimes with rosemary oil. I put peroxide in it myself to make it blond, but now it's pretty much back to the natural color. I know God definitely meant for me to be a deep brunette."
Family Affairs:
"Dad's a contractor; my mother used to be a hairdresser, but now she's just a mom. I have a sister who works at a bank and recently had her second baby. My brother, a student at the University of Arizona, is an aspiring golfer and a supersmart kid."
Modeling start:
"I entered the Elite agency's Look of the Year contest with some pictures of me in my eighth-grade-graduation dress. A contest is the best way to start. You have people taking care of you. I went first to Paris to model for the summer, then talked my parents into letting me move to New York."
Modeling end?
"The process of dropping out of modeling has been happening since I left New York. I don't want to drop out completely. I have friends in the industry, and the money is good. After five years, you get to a point, though, where it's not so fun anymore. You get sick of people always judging you on how you look that day. Mentally, it's not very satisfying or inspiring. I want to study acting. And take courses - history, sociology ... broaden my education!"
