Once complete, we were ready to shoot just as an incredible thunder and rain storm was beginning. I represented the 80’s with a painted replica of a swimsuit worn by Elle MacPherson. For the 50th Anniversary edition, I was one of the 5 models for each decade that had a classic swimsuit ‘body painted’ on. They made me feel life family and everything was perfect, or as perfect as could be. I did not have a lot of experience shooting with professional photographers, stylists, makeup artists and editors and the SI team had been together for years. Incredibly, my second big shoot was Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Swimsuit edition. My career took off almost right away, starting with my dream shoot with Guess, Inc. To my surprise, I got a call from Elite Modeling, LA. I took a few Polaroid’s and sent them to agencies. I liked the Guess label and concept of becoming sexy and empowered, strong and powerful, like the women in 50 years of SI Swimsuit issues. I had dreamed of modeling for Guess, Inc. As I was always a taller than most girls, I had thought about a modeling career. This little vote of confidence was the little boost that I needed to take the next step. When the SI Swimsuit issue came out, she saw Irina Shayk on the cover, my roommate said that she thought I could be in Sports Illustrated Swim edition. When I was in college at Penn State University, my roommate was always browsing the internet.
