I tried on 250 bathing suits in one afternoon and ended up havinglittle scabs up and down my thighs, probably from some of those withsequins all over them.

It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.

Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

But some people don't appreciate my bossiness.

I don't want my daughter to think she has to deprive herself to be pretty...It's all about balance and I can teach that best by living it.

Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.

Being on set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her.
