2012 Calendar Selling Fast!

My 2012 calendar launched last month, and is selling quickly and getting lots of great feedback!

I attended the shot show in January, and WOW – I sold out in FOUR HOURS! I was supposed to be in the Dillon booth for two or three days, but I didn’t realize the calendar would go so fast, so I ended up only getting to stay one day!

Thanks to ALL of you who were so enthusiastic – I had a blast meeting the fans, some new, and many old friends by now

We are already halfway through our inventory, therefore, if you have friends who want the calendar, tell them to order soon – we will take at least 500 of them to NRA in April, meaning we will most likely sell out by summer at the latest, so get yours now in time for Memorial Day or Independence Day this year!

Here is a photo of Army Veteran Josh Olson and myself with Will Parks, Friends of the NRA Spokane, WA.

Josh will be participating in this year’s USA Paralympics, and is an AMAZING hero who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was injured in combat, but did not let that stop him – he is an inspiration to us ALL! This is why I do what I do…

NBA’s Boris Diaw and Phoenix Suns Photographer Barry Gossage

My friends NBA Player Boris Diaw and Phoenix Suns Photographer Barry Gossage, whom I have worked with in past years, have teamed up to open Studio 3D.

The studio offers full service photography, video, editing, graphics and production.

Boris is a talented photographer himself, outside of being a successful NBA player, with a passion for the craft, and Barry is a pro who creates incredible images and concepts.

Barry shot images for both my 2010 and 2011 pin-up calendars and will once again be an integral part of the 2012 calendar.

You can view Barry’s work at BarryGossagePhoto.com. Here is a photo of Boris, myself and Barry at one of the studio’s events!

Interview With Frankie Muniz

I recently interviewed Actor Frankie Muniz, (Malcom in the Middle, Racing Stripes, Agent Cody Banks) for My Tek Life.

This magazine has GREAT stories that cover the latest technology trends but with an emphasis on the human stories behind it all…in-depth interviews and articles with celebrities who use or advance technology in unique and personal ways are the key to this magazine’s growing appeal.

In my interview with Frankie, we talked to him at his home about his involvement in not only acting, but also racecar driving and music. He was so popular for his role on Malcom in the Middle, but he has gone on to do so many other fascinating things and is one child actor who has grown up and become a powerful force in other areas, while avoiding the traps of fame at a young age

Here is a teaser from our interview and a picture I snapped with his personal Jetta that was the featured car in the film the Fast and Furious.

The 2011 Calendar on set!!!

I received an email from a friend of mine, Director John Kretchmer (Army Wives, Burn Notice, Veronica Mars, and more).

Turns out that they have used my Military Pinup Calendar on the set of  the hit Lifetime series, Army Wives, multiple times!

Looks like some of the crew also used the calendar off set, LOL. Anyhow, here are a couple pics from the show, with the calendar in the scene, as well as decorating the prop cart

A Night of Stars

After my shoot with Muhammad Ali, I was invited to an exclusive celebrity charity dinner to watch a private performance from Billy Crystal.

Attendees included Kevin Costner, Bo Derek, Muhammad Ali, Larry Fitzgerald, Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, and many more incredible actors, athletes and musicians. It was fun to meet and chat with everyone in a relaxed and open mood, no cameras, no red carpet, just a very small and intimate setting, so people were much more willing to talk and mingle.

Billy Crystal was hilarious as he did comedy but also shared very personal stories, and the night couldn’t have been more fun.

The best part is that everyone was there to honor so many folks who are doing great charity work.

Here are a couple of pics from the evening, Kevin Costner and I chatted about his kids and the other gentleman in the pics is Greg Ostro who is the Producer of the event.

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee!

I was BEYOND thrilled when I was recently invited to do a photo shoot with American Legend Muhammad Ali.

What an amazing experience it was to be a guest in his private family home – very few people are invited to come this close and personal to the living legend.

There are few celebrities who can make so many people instantly starstruck, but Ali is certainly one of them. Not only was he amazing and still incredibly sharp and aware of everything despite his battle with Parkinson’s, but his wife and family were equally impressive, kind and welcoming.

They informed me that Ali likes blondes, and referred to me as his “princess!” It was all in good fun, and I even shared chocolate chip cookies with them in their kitchen after the shoot!

Attached is a personal photo from the set, I feel so LUCKY to have a picture like this.

New Knockout Energy Drink commercial released!

What a Knockout! My new commercial for Knockout Energy Drink has just been released!

This was a fun shoot that I blogged about in a previous news item. Athough it was a bit frightening to have a closeup without makeup, I had a blast playing the nerdy girl with less than desireable looks and terrible hair – now you know what I REALLY look like away from the camera, LOL…at least I transform in the end
