America's Next Top Model

What was the best Ms. J moment from your season? I loved seeing him dance like a sexy minx on the fire pole during our runway challenge at the NYFD station.
What was your favorite shoot from your season? Being on the boat with the Brooklyn Bridge behind us for sure! Meeting Elle Macpherson was a dream and I loved the scenery. It was gorgeous.
What's up with the Tyra mail? It was SO ANNOYING! Having to read it over again to get different shots and hearing all the girls' monotone voices as we tried to read and comprehend the electronic version. It would have been best if it were written.
Who was your closest friend in the model house? Are you friends with any of the20girls now? Marvita and Kat were the ones I was closest with. I still keep up with Lauren, Marvita, and Claire the most.
Do you still keep in touch with Tyra or the judges? No.
Who didn't you get along with? I liked most the girls
Who's your favorite Top Model winner? CariDee seems like such doll.

Which fellow Top model winner or contestant do you admire most? Definitely Katarzyna. She is stunning, witty, and one of the most kindest people I've ever met. She deserves every bit of success she has.
What was the hardest part of doing the show for you? Having no freedom or independence. I couldn't leave when I wanted, listen to my iPod, call my family... IT WAS AWFUL. I hated feeling like a caged animal.
Would you do it again? Why/why not? I don't know. I don't regret anything in my life, so sure I would do it again. It was a great experience... even if it wasn't exactly what I had expected it to be.
Looking back at your time on the show, what do you wish you would've done differently? Practiced more, taken it a little more seriously... but honestly I wouldn't change too much. I'm proud of myself and my performance. I did the most important thing and that was stay true to myself!
How did the show change your life? It hasn't really . HAH! I expected life to be so different and glamorous but I'm still looking for a job, living a regular life... only now young teenage girls in China know who I am.

What's your daily beauty routine? Brush teeth, wash face, use toner, and moisturize.
Who's celeb fashion do you most admire? Zooey Deschanel.
How would you describe your sense of style? Eclectic, hip, surprising, shiney!
Can you give us some examples of what you usually eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Oatmeal is a power food! I have awful eating habits though. I'm from OklahomaI love gravy. Hah.
Is there a part of your body that you feel insecure about? If so, why? I used to not like my hips but you know what? I'M A WOMAN! Men like them! I am proud of my body. Pretty soon we will all be lumpy and wrinkly and old. It's a part of life. And I'd like to be happy with myself and not feel too pressured to get thin. I want to age gracefully and naturally.

Who's your number 1 celebrity crush? JAMES FRANCO...oh God.

What were you like as a child/teenager? Moody, full of angst and confusion = teen years. As a kid I was very precocious, bright and talkative. I loved exploring and playing dress up.
Were you ever teased about your looks? If yes, what do you want to say to the people who used to tease you? I've always been very tall but I don't remember getting teased too much. OH! My older sisters used to make fun of my teeth because they were very crooked and bucked. I would normally cry and run to my mom when this happened.
What's the strangest rumor you've ever heard about yourself? BEFORE my season aired I remember reading on a message board that I was the lesbian. That was strange, considering I never even said anything about that to anyone. I'M NOT, BTW. But sexuality is irrelevant in this modern day anyway.
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? NOTHING. I love myself. Especially the flaws. Except I WOULD make myself more motivated.
What's your personal motto? One life - look good, feel good - to each his own. I've got three.   :)
