I like it when guys treat me like a princess. Taking me shopping. Buying me dinner. Showing me a good time.
Normally the Import Tuner staff starts the cover car and model shoot at about 10 a.m. On average, it'll take over 8 hours to wrap up one of our shoots, ending about 6 p.m. I usually come in about an hour early to schmooze with the model. It's a fair amount of time to get her comfortable enough to accept my flirtatious ways (rub hands together and insert wry, devilish smile here. Oh, the joys of interviewing a cover model). On this day, however, me and my homie, Mike, arrived a little late to the shoot--about 7 p.m.--but it didn't matter because our super-duper, on-point, workaholic editor accidentally forgot to book the studio that afternoon. He's always on top of things. So began our 8-plus hour Friday night.
Mike and I watched the end of Old School and had a couple beers (non-alcoholic, of course) before we headed to the studio. We figured since we weren't going to make it out to Hollywood anyway, we might as well make it a good evening. We pull up to the studio, and I get out of the car, grab my stuff, and glance up to see a full moon (for we Cancers, that full moon is a good sign). As soon as the car door slammed shut there she was--Sandy Jordan. Funny, it seemed that we somehow ended up in Hollywood.
It was crazy. I mean, there were like spotlights and camera flashes going off. People screaming. A red carpet suddenly appeared that led directly to ME. It was like a friggin' movie premiere. I walked across the red carpet, shook Sandy's hand, introduced myself and nervously told her I'd meet her inside in a few minutes. She walked in the building and, as quick as it appeared, away went the "Hollywood." It must have been the full moon and beer. Nice moon...damn good beer.
2NR: I understand that food is the best way to your heart. Any food in particular?
SJ: I like spicy food--Asian food especially. I can eat it all day. I love Thai food. Spicy Lemongrass soup, beef salad...I like the chili peppers.
2NR: Beef salad? I think our Art Director likes that. What is it?
SJ: It's like a salad with meat on it--with special dressing.
2NR: A more manly salad would be a Taco salad. Anytime you can finish off the meal by eating the tortilla bowl...mmmm. So, you like to cook?
SJ: Yeah. I make the best spring rolls. My mom taught me a lot. I didn't cook when I lived with her but I watched her all the time.
2NR: Being so close to Louisiana, how do you like Cajun?
SJ: I don't care for Cajun that much. I had Jambalaya once...and I think I had a bad one. It had soggy rice. I don't know if was supposed to be like that but yeah, it had the sausage, rice, bell peppers--it was a little too soupy. I don't know, maybe one day I'll open up my own restaurant. It'd be Thai or Asian cuisine.
2NR: Thai? You know you're Vietnamese, right? I guess that's OK because it seems no matter the type of food made, it's done by a Mexican cook.
SJ: I went to Pho 2000 in Koreatown and the place is owned by Koreans but they have all Vietnamese cooks. Mmmm. I love pho. I could eat that now.
2NR: What would you like to cook?
SJ: I would start off with my spring rolls. I'd do a beef salad for an appetizer. Then I'd have fried rice with maybe some seafood...
2NR: So when am I coming over?
SJ: (She giggles) Come over anytime!
2NR: You're leaving Sunday right? I'll be over later. Lets help the guys out there--since you're so into food--on a first date with you what would be the food to order to get you to say "I like him"?
SJ: Thai food. Spicy. Better get me that beef salad! For dessert: Mango and sweet rice.
2NR: Did I mention that I know of this great Thai place in Pasadena (wink, wink)?
SJ: Well then, take me there next time.
2NR: Oh, you better believe I will. When will you be out here again? Next year?
SJ: I'll try to come out here as much as possible. Maybe next month.
2NR: (Believe me guys, I am high five-ing myself right now). What's your favorite drink? What's your poison?
SJ: I like apple martini's. They're pretty strong. All I need is just one. I don't like drinks that you have to drink all night and feel bloated. If you're gonna get drunk, get drunk fast!
2NR: Are you a coffee girl?
SJ: I've already had my two cups. I like Frappuccinos, but regular coffee with whipped cream on top is what I normally get.
2NR: Whipped cream, you say? SJ: Well I don't like too much of the sweet stuff. I used to be a candy freak when I was young. Now I'll just have my Godiva.
2NR: I know your favorite body parts are your legs and your lips. What are your favorite body parts on a guy?
SJ: Shoulders and hands.
2NR: Hands?
SJ: And lips (giggles). And the butt. Good chest muscles too.
(She has a cell phone call...I kid around and say, "Hi Honey!" She looks at me and she gives me an outright "no." I think she likes me. She concluded to teh person on the phone that we'd possibly be here for a while--she didn't know I was making up questions just to keep her within my gaze.)
2NR: What turns you off?
SJ: I hate it when guys try to act too cool. Like trying to be a showoff. You have to be cool without trying to be cool. Naturally cool.
2NR: What turns you on?
SJ: I like it when guys treat me like a princess. Taking me shopping. Buying me dinner. Showing me a good time.
2NR: Are you still single?
SJ: Yes.
2NR: You're not seeing anyone now?
SJ: That's right.
2NR: Still available?
SJ: Yes.
2NR: Wait, you live in Tampa?! Damn, I'm gonna miss Southern California.
SJ: I do a lot of traveling though--three times this month. I went to Miami for a shoot. It was for a new men's magazine called Dream--I might be topless! (wink. wink.) Hopefully they'll use my shots. If they do, please buy the issue!
2NR: Congratulations girlfriend! We'd pick it up if you weren't topless. However, if you ARE topless I can almost guarantee a whole bunch of people buying it! What's the most you've been paid for any job?
SJ: Hopefully 10 grand for that one. It would be nice to get 100 grand!
2NR: What do you want out of life?
SJ: A beautiful family.
2NR: With the guy with the nice chest muscles, right? What nationality is this guy?
SJ: I like all types. He just has to have a nice personality. I think I'm more Asian influenced than white. I do like Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt. Also, I want a nice home and (shyly) an ocean view (giggles).
2NR: (mimicking her) ...about 8000 square feet, a humongous pool, three dolphins, four Porsches and a--
SJ: (Chiming in) Ferrari!
2NR: And a hot air balloon!
SJ: That sounds cool! (Laughing) I'd take that!
2NR: The hot air balloon?
SJ: Yeah.
2NR: (In a deep Barry-White-type voice) Well the next time you're down I'll take you for a ride, baby. What type of guy would you like to meet?
SJ: He would have to be successful, ambitious, and very sweet; very loving. A family guy. I'd like to have kids; a boy and a girl. My Filipino friend has four kids.
2NR: Yeah. We tend to spit out a lot of kids. Where are you at 65?
SJ: Hopefully on an Island or on the beach. Well taken care of, maybe someone there to pamper me. I don't want to be in a convalescent home, that's for sure.
2NR: I'm out. That's what the kids are for with their three dolphins, ocean view home and hot air balloon. What makes you happy?
SJ: Being with the person that you love and doing the things that you love to do. Weather it be going out to eat instead of cooking a good dinner, watching TV or sitting back and relaxing. You don't necessarily have to sit and talk. It's fine to just know that they're there.
2NR: Name three things you can't live without.
SJ: I can't live without...(long pause)...sex? And water?
2NR: Ok. That's good enough for me. Forget about the last one. For some unknown reason something's tugging at my heart.
SJ: Really though. Good food, family and friends and a good home.
2NR: Finish this. I like someone that makes me feel...
SJ: Comfortable.
2NR: Most guys are...
SJ: Gentlemen. Yes, most guys are gentlemen. I haven't met too many assholes. Most are sweet and nice. Although I've met a few jerks.
2NR: What do you drive?
SJ: (Rattling off like she's said it a thousand times) A Mazda Miata British green racing edition. (Giggles) No, I'm not into cars--just the looks. As long as it looks good and drives nice, to me, that's all that matters. I'm not into the mechanics. That's up to the guys at Pep Boys.
2NR: Had many boyfriends?
SJ: I've had quite a few boyfriends. I think three.
2NR: Three. That's a lot?
SJ: Well I've had many dates and three long terms. Longest was three years.
2NR: Shortest?
SJ: One day. (laughs)
2NR: Are you forward at all or are you the kind of girl that says "I hope that guy talks to me"?
SJ: I'm not forward at all. He'd definitely have to come up to me.
2NR: What do you do to relax?
SJ: I like my bubble baths. Maybe lay out on the beach and sunbathe.
2NR: Nude?
SJ: Nude just in my backyard. I haven't tried that at the beach yet (giggles). But I've laid out in the nude. There's this island that I jet ski out to. I lay out and watch the water. That's what's so beautiful about Florida. The water is so blue. Real blue. The only bad thing is the humidity. It can get really tropical down south.
2NR: Looks like I'm taking a trip. Well maybe. You've got great water. We've got great weather. We've got green water. You've got hungry sharks.
SJ: And alligators! I did a shoot where the guy had me put a baby one on my tummy. There was a lightning storm and it freaked out. It swiped at me. Not enough to cut me but I got a good scratch from it.
2NR: You know, the rule is if a 'gator injures you in any way you get to make a purse out of it.
SJ: (Giggles) Or shoes!
2NR: Speaking of clothing, or the lack there of, I see that you don't mind a little nudity. What would you wear to impress a guy that you'd date?
SJ: I think I would wear a garter belt with stockings...maybe a bustier.
2NR: Okay. You got me. You had me at garter belt. The best part of being naked is...
SJ: Feeling free and adventures. Natural.
2NR: The perfect date would be...
SJ: A sunset island picnic. Roasting marshmallows over a campfire, waves crashing, an ocean breeze.
2NR: Wow, a romantic. Tell me something that most don't know about "Sandy Jordan," besides that cute tattoo of a butterfly on your butt...just kidding.
SJ: They don't know how generous and giving I am, and that I'm a friend for life. I'd consider Kelly, Melissa, Angie, my mom, and my older sister, Mary, my best friends.
2NR: Older sister? Is she as pretty as you? Single? Never mind, lets not start something. When you party, you...
SJ: Party hard. Have a good time. Let go. Get naked. (I stopped breathing at this point) Just joking!
2NR: That was not right! Remember when we walked out and I asked you to look around the room? Well, who's ass could you kick?
SJ: The biggest guy is Erik, the Art Director, right? I could kick his ass.
2NR: Which one would you date? (pick me...say it...say, "You, Joel, of course!")
SJ: Who's the editor? (giggling)
2NR: OK, look, there's no point system here. Forget it. This interview is over. (She laughs)
In closing, I'd like to thank God. God, I want to thank you for inventing garter belts, Thai people and their hot and spicy dishes. Thank you for airplane flights from Tampa. Thank you for really short white shorts, camouflage and baby oil. Thank you for my eyesight. Thank you for balloon rides. Above all, thank you for Sandy Jordan.
I can't live without...sex...And water
