2NR: I take it you don't have a problem being nude.KS: You mean today?
2NR: Yeah. Right now. (Long pause. I exchange my poker face for her confused look..) Ok, no. I mean for Playboy.KS: I don't have a problem being nude just as long as it's classy. Plus I'm a fan and a subscriber AND an admirer of Playboy so it would be even lesser of a deal. I'm actually kinda hyped over it. What's weird is that, from reading each issue, I knew all the models by name; their month-I could name them and their stats off one by one-and now I'm friends with some of them.
2NR: Wow. You're a stalker-a low-level type stalker!KS: No! I'm just a fan.
2NR: Who's your favorite Playmate?KS: I like the 1997 Playmate of the Year. Karen McDougal.
2NR: You can remember six years back?KS: I told you I'm a fan. Are you quizzing me?!?! Don't quiz me!
2NR: Quick the Playmate for 2000?KS: Jodi Ann Patterson.
2NR: My God! 2002?KS: Darlene Curtis.
2NR: Which one was an 2NR model?KS: Kitana Baker-She is the 2003 Playmate of the year.
2NR: Damn. Quick. Which one would you make out with?KS: Jodi Ann Patterson. She's the bomb! She went to school and got a B.A. She's beautiful but grounded. It's more about her personality and her accomplishments. I think that's attractive.
2NR: What makes YOU attractive?KS: People tell me it's my personality. Some think that your typical model is snobby but I'm not like that.
2NR: Tell me you are single.KS: His name is Jason.
2NR: Damn, our editor? Does he know? Just kidding. So, this small speed bump must be the reason you're at San Diego State and not UCLA.KS: This "speed bump" is a big guy. He was going to play tailback for the Oakland Raiders but he hurt his knees. We've been together for over 4 years. He's from New York, my number one fan and I'M the reason why he's not going back! Just kidding. I couldn't survive the winters there, much less the summers!
2NR: Oh so your super-human is 6' 12" with the strength of four horses and regularly rescues babies out of burning buildings and all that stuff? Anyway, the weather sucks over there. Been traveling lately?KS: I went to Tahiti for five days! I was there for a shoot but I was so lonely.
2NR: Wipe your tears. It's a free trip!KS: It was nice being around honeymooners but I was experiencing all of it by myself. No friends. No family. No boyfriend. Don't get me wrong, I do stuff by myself all the time but it would have been nice to share such a spectacular time with another person. Like this whole three month modeling adventure, for example, I'm just a regular person and all these life changes are happening so quickly-my support group of friends and family make it so much better and easier to deal with; they make it fun.
2NR: What type of guys are you most attracted too?KS: I like a guy who has a good sense of humor. One whose not uptight; secure with himself; who likes being active and like to take care of himself. A guy who's fit. He's gotta know how to treat a woman right. Someone who's not a male chauvinist. I like a guy that opens doors-a little chivalry goes a long way. I like it when you can sit together and not say a word. That's the best. That's when you know you have a friend. It's someone you can kick it with-straining to keep a conversation alive? Not good.
2NR: Seems like you know what you want. That's mature for 24.KS: I think I'm a little more mature because I learned, through my sisters, a lot faster than everyone else my age. I'm the youngest out of five girls. I saw their ups and downs. My sisters paved the way for me-and yes, they're all taken.
2NR: Whatever. Next question. What about some of the things that turn you off?KS: Perverts and guys that talk about themselves-it's easy to tell when they're bullshitting. I can't stand those kinds of guys.
2NR: Guys that bullshit seem to get more girls.KS: True.
