MODEL OF THE MONTH November 2007 Issue 59







DS: Looking over your prior engagements, you've keep yourself pretty busy. Where are some of the places that someone may have seen you?
TT: Currently, I'm a Prestigious Model Girl, a Boost Mobile spokesmodel, a Hot Import Nights tour model, a go-go dancer and Miss HIN Boston. In addition to events, someone may have also seen me on Spike TV, MTV, Fuse TV, Maxim, IGN and FHM. I've been blessed with a bunch of opportunities and it helps to be in the right place at the right time.

DS: So you really like modeling?
TT: I love it. I want to learn every aspect of it. I've been able travel and meet some nice people. I really enjoy my job. I couldn't ask for anything more.

DS: Would your friends from school be surprised to find out that your modeling?
TT: I went through my phases like every kid does. I was a "goodie two shoes" in elementary school, as most kids are. When I got to middle school and high school, I started to rebel and became a bit of a trouble maker. I never got into any serious trouble, but I think I was great at making a little trouble here and there. Fortunately, I never got caught. Once I graduated from high school, I became a good girl again. Of course, there are some times when I can still be bad.

DS: Good to bad to good to bad. Sounds a little bipolar to us. Where did you grow up?
TT: Currently, I live in Worcester, MA which is about an hour outside of Boston. When I was younger, my family and I lived in a few places but my best childhood memories were when we lived in Toledo, Ohio. From Ohio, we relocated to Massachusetts and finally settled in Worcester, This is where I grew up, went to school, and currently reside. I love my city since that's where all of my friends, family and loved ones are.

DS: Are your plans to model for as long as possible?
TT: (Laughing) Well, here's the story with that. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do after graduation, so I decided to attend a local college, Quinsigamond Community College. I enrolled as a Liberal Arts major. Then I decided to transfer over to Worcester State College to major in Business. Since I finished school, I always have my degree to fall back on. Right now, I really enjoy modeling and I'd like to see how far I can go. I'd also like to break into acting.

DS: When not working, what keeps you busy?
TT: I just love to hang out with my friends and family. They keep me grounded and they are very supportive. I try to spend as much time with them as I can. I also try to work out as much as I can. Of course, I also love to shop.

DS: We heard that you have a crush on Paul Walker. Of course, we would never understand why. What do you look for in a guy?
TT: I don't have a certain type. The most important thing for me is a sense of humor. I have a weakness for funny men. If a guy can make me laugh, it's the beginning of winning me over. When guys try too hard to impress, it can become annoying. I like men that are humble, considerate, and well mannered. I love to be treated like a princess. On the physical side, I have a weakness for great smiles.

DS: So you're a princess type that falls for comedians with a nice smile. Do you enjoy interacting with the import model fans that you see at car shows and other events?
TT: Yeah, I am a real and down-to-earth person. I love meeting people in general, so if you ever see me out, please feel free to say hi. Just don't be creepy about it and try to follow me out to my car or something (laughing).

DS: Well we were wondering if you were going to be walking back to your car alone. Any last words?
TT: Thank you for the opportunity to shoot with DSport. You guys are the best. For anyone that stops by to say high at the show, thank you too. To my friends, boyfriend and family, you guys are the best.
