Additional info: "I was born November 16, 1968 in Athens, Greece. (Yes, I am a
Scorpio, the sex sign of the zodiac. What else could you have
possible been expecting!) My father was a young Navy officer
from "Happy Days Land" in Wisconsin and my mother, a young
flight attendant from New York. Talk about an odd couple. The
blending of these two, tied me into so may ethnic and
religious backgrounds that I can't possibly call myself
anything but an American. I was the oldest of four children.
I have a sister and two brothers. We always had lots of pets
and lots of people around our house. We moved around a lot
because my dad was in the Navy, so I became very outgoing.
The nice thing my dad being in the Navy is we mostly grew up
around the ocean. We spent most of my childhood in Virginia
Beach, Maine, Florida and Malibu, California.
After my freshman year of high school I moved from Malibu to
Northern Virginia. I was not looking forward to leaving
Malibu! I was what you would call a tomboy, surfing and
having a lot of outdoor fun. I loved the California beach
life. In this picture, I'm the girl on the far left. Note
that my friend Jackie wrote "tit power" on my uniform. My
sister and I got teased a lot for having big breasts in high
school. We just kind of rolled with the punches.
My father decided it was time for me to do something with my
life and entered me in the Miss DC Teen USA Pageant. Much to
my surprise, I won. With a title under my belt, I became
instantly popular, but I learned the lesson very young that
true friendship means more than popularity. My high school
sweetheart went to VMI and I became their Homecoming Queen.
For a while there, my ego started to outgrow my body.
My mother, once again, decided to do damage control. She
would scold me with her thick New York accent, and say things
like "I don't know what you're admiring, your ass looks fat
in those jeans," and "you know with make-up you're a pretty
girl, but without it you're not so hot!" Then my father got
me a job at a mess hall at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico
Virginia, where I worked 12-hour days all summer long at $5
hr. I was feeding Marines breakfast, lunch and dinner and
sweeping and mopping floors the size of a gymnasium. (Very
effective damage control!) I saved money for college and off
I went to study dental hygiene. I was doing great
academically as an honor student when my bank ran dry and I
didn't know what to do to pay my tuition.
I started to model. My first big assignment was a Pepsi
commercial with Michael Jackson. Then I did an ad for Joico
perms. That's a joke because my hair never held a perm, and I
have a difficult time having it hold curl. I also did ads for
Ultima II make-up, Woodward and Lothrop Department Stores,
and lots of little jobs here and there to help pay off the
rest of my college. When I graduated, I headed back to
Malibu, and I modeled mostly.
I did swimwear and calendar jobs. Then I was almost raped by
a non-reputable casting director, so I gave up modeling for
good. Then one day I bumped into Playboy photographer David
Mecey at a photo lab. He tried to get me to test for them.
"Oh, Hef wouldn't want me. I am just not the type that is
going to sit around the mansion and chase him and all of his
friends." David just laughed and said, "Suzi, it is not like
that. It is very professional and you never do anything you
don't want to do."
Well, the rest is history and I'm very grateful to Hef for
making me Miss January 1992 and to all of my supportive fans.
It has launched an incredible modeling career and a life that
most people only dream of. So I wanted to make a nice site
for my fans and this site is personally designed by me for
you!!!
Love, Suzi
