2NR: What made you want to just leave school?
ELS: School wasn't for me. I wasn't in any of the cliques. I didn't like just sitting in class and figuring stuff out.
2NR: What did you do at 16?
ELS: I traveled around and had different jobs. I worked at the gym. I worked at Linens N Things. I worked as a dental assistant for about a year. When I was 18 I went to Hawaii for a year and a half.
2NR: It's seems to me that you can't keep a job!
ELS: I get bored easily.
2NR: Well what do you do now?
ELS: Just model.
2NR: What do you want to do as a career?
ELS: I want to be an actress.
2NR: Tried out for any roles yet? I've got a casting couch.
ELS: Not really. No, Thanks.
2NR: You need a beer. Los Angeles is a drive from your spot in San Diego.
ELS: By the time this 2NR issue prints I'll have moved up here. Los Angeles is a change of pace. I tend to move every year, year and a half.
2NR: So you grew up fast. How old are you now?
ELS: I'll be 21 in a two months.
2NR: On the cover of a magazine and you can't even drink to celebrate.
ELS: Not legally.
2NR: I know you don't drink but what do you think you're favorite drink would be?
ELS: I'd like Malibu Pineapples, a Vodka Collins. But I think I'd really like Washington Apple shots. It's Crown with Puckers and cranberry juice.
2NR: At your size, that would fuck you up pretty quick.
ELS: Hell yeah. They're real tasty though-I mean that's what I hear.
2NR: I like to say, they make you go down happily. What's something you've learned since being 16?
ELS: I should have stayed in school and had fun as a kid before I became an adult.
2NR: Yeah. You could have been the Homecoming Queen or Prom Queen.
ELS: Well, I got voted Best Hair! I was on the yearbook staff. I was ASB Vice-President. I took photography and liked it so much that it's my hobby now.
2NR: What else do you like?
ELS: I like cars and motorcycles.
2NR: Choose between the two.
ELS: A fast car. A BMW Z4.
2NR: Bah-ling. So this actress thing is your goal right now. What kind of role are you looking for and did I mention the couch?
ELS: Something like Angelina Jolie and Tomb Raider. And yes you did. Still no.
2NR: Lets get back to this acting stuff.
ELS: At 5 I was on a TV show when I lived in Korea. I've been in acting classes since I was about four-years old. Since then I've always wanted to be an actress. I don't want to necessarily hit it big, I just want to do what I love.
2NR: Have you ever used your acting skills in life situations?
ELS: All the time. I did it at Hooters. Acting classes gave me a lot of confidence. I can walk in anywhere and not be shy. I get to role play and put myself into a character. Doing that makes me understand different types of people better.
2NR: What about stunts?
ELS: I am the type of person that would try to do them myself.
2NR: You are definitely BANG-GING. Yet a little rough and tumble.
ELS: I'm a little rough around the edges. I hang around a lot of guys. I talk dirty. I cuss a lot. I look like a princess but I'm really not. I'm not girly. I don't do my hair or make up unless I have a photo shoot.
