When I got the paperwork for Superstars, and I saw they asked what size swimsuit I wear, I had a hot flash, nearly broke into cold sweats and hired a trainer immediately.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not getting recognized because I posed in a swimsuit edition of some magazine, but because of what I do on the field, and that's important to me.
After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.
It took me six years to be comfortable modeling a swimsuit.
I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I signed on to work with a wrestler.
Very few women get asked to be in the swimsuit issue, and I'm really proud to be one of so many beautiful and empowering women.
I always say, 'Do you have a body? Then you're swimsuit ready.' That's all you need to worry about.
Life magazine ran a page featuring me and three other girls that was clearly the precursor of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.
For a while, I could only wear sweat pants because I was that intermediate size that you're not a small, you're not a large.
I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.
My first shoot was on a rooftop in swimsuits with two plus-size models who were curvy and voluptuous and beautiful, and they taught me so much about being beautiful in any shape or size.
