2nr: Tell me about some of your hobbies. Any crazy collections?
TS: Apart from dancing I like to take pictures and make picture books. When I was a kid I used to collect pigs, and I kept all of my stuff in a box. I have no idea why I still have it, but one of my friends just found it and laughed his head off. Whatever, I still think they're cute.
2nr: A dancing queen that likes pigs. Hmm... at least you're unique! What about sports, any favorite teams?
TS: I'm not much of a sports fan because I don't know anything about them. If someone tried to explain the rules to me I might be interested. I work as a Miller Lite girl, so I've been to all the Ducks games this year, and I'm starting to like hockey now.
2nr: You might get a lot of offers to go to ball games now. Tell me your idea of a perfect date.
TS: My ideal date would have to be on the beach. Maybe dinner and some wine, and a long walk afterwards so I can talk to the person. I love to talk and just be goofy, so it's the perfect time to find out if the guy is just like me. My perfect man is a sexy fit guy with light eyes, perfect teeth, and a great sense of humor. Making me laugh all the time is really important. He also has to love his family and friends. Family is a big deal to me because it tells you a lot about someone, and I would love to have my own family someday.
2nr: Do you get hit on a lot? What's the best way for a guy to pick you up?
TS: I guess I get hit on a lot, but what girl doesn't? The best way for a guy to pick me up is not to pick me up at all. I don't want to hear dumb lines or anything. I like to be friends with everyone and if it's there with someone, then we'll both just know. You know what I'm saying, right? So guys, please listen to me when I say this: Girls don't want those lines, so just give it up and be yourself!
2nr: Exactly! Now, what feature do you get complimented on the most?
TS: If the guy is a pig he'll say my boobs. For the most part, I get complimented on my eyes. They change colors so it's pretty cool.
2nr: Anything you would want to improve about yourself?
TS: I would like to change my hips. They could be a little smaller since my waist is so small.
2nr: Name three things you would take with you on a desert island.
TS: My family, because I would miss them; my cat, so I would have someone to talk to; and Q-tips. In high school I kissed a guy with dirty ears and it freaked me out. I check out everyone's ears now, so look out!
2nr: Eewww. Quickly changing the subject... what are your favorite jeans?
TS: Frankie B's. But they are starting to disappoint me because they have been falling apart lately. Not cool when you spend so much money on a pair and you can't return them after 7 days.
2nr: Gotta switch to Diesel's then, they're my favorite.
2nr: What are your plans after modeling? Are you in school?
TS: Oh my goodness... I go to school right now and am majoring in Child Development, so I would like to do some kind of work involving children one day. I'll either become a teacher or open my own pre-school.
2nr: What's the moment you're most proud of?
TS: My proudest moment in life is when my parents told me how proud of me they are to see me doing the things I am doing, and standing on my own two feet.
2nr: Where can the guys catch you next?
TS: I hope there's a lot more to come. I'm not sure where I'll be next, but I have a feeling this year will be great. You can always catch up with me at my website. TanyaAnnSchafer.com
2nr: And I'm sure they will. Thanks Tanya!!
