Okay... not in bad shape for a 60 year-old, but kinda scary looking none-the-less.

My ex was named after her because of the clothes, not the looks.

She is on at least one episode of America's Next Top Model each season. She is still cartwheeling.

So I'm at a wedding this past weekend, and happened to remember a job I didnt post.

At the ripe age of 17 I was hired for a local music video for a band doing a cover of Pretty Woman.
I had to walk across the set with a very small dog.


In the end I think I walked across the set 40 times. And walk might not be the best way to say it.

I forgot all of the "pretty" jobs.

Model, commercial actress, beauty pageant queen. Yeah, I'd prefer these stay out of my resume.

I frankly would too, but I know SOME people would have been wounded to not know about that one. :p
