Personal Quotes

I, like most of the other Divas, get this question often. Though the girls have done some absolutely beautiful, classy shoots with Playboy, it's not for me. For now, I'll be keeping my clothes on. [on being asked if she'd do playboy].

Faith to fight the good fight, heart to believe and soul to search within!
