I almost had to eat cock balls in Tokyo. Couldn't do it. It started oozing white stuff on the grill. Gross. What other modeling did you do in Taiwan?
I did lingerie, bikinis, and bridal catalogs. I was also in commercials, was a spokesmodel for tradeshows, and did a reality show. In addition to that, I was also a radio co-host and a dancer for a techno music dance group.
Once you were in the States, how did modeling come about?
I was getting booked by photographers who spotted me at a modeling website.
What was your first car show?
The Nisei show in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.
And I met you at Formula D. What did you think of drifting?
Drifting looks much more difficult than other types of racing. It's amazing to see the drifters-it's like they're floating on the pavement!
Are you into cars?
I love cars!
What's your favorite?
I like the Lexus IS F-it's fast, roomy and affordable.
Well, I should mention that we, in fact, have an IS F Lexus so graciously loaned as a project car. We just need to go over to Tein and pick it up. What do you do for fun?
I like to play video games and cook.
What games do you play?
Little Planet, Rock Band, and Modern Warfare 2. Sometimes it's good to be a bit violent at times, but only in video games.
Do you have any special talents/abilities?
I can naturally cut people's and my little puppy's hair. I also do nail art.
Have any secrets?
I like walking around the house naked, but my mom is Buddhist and she gets pissed. When I'm at home, she thinks I should put on some clothes because there's a Buddha statue in the living room.
I don't think Buddha would mind. Have any embarrassing drunk stories?
There was this one time I drank so much that I tried doing the Moonwalk in heels. Don't ever try that . . . trust me.
