Sports Illustrated needs me for my mind

So, I got in my application for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search. It's actually a reality show, in conjunction with NBC, called "America's Next Top Swimsuit Model."

It required writing about twenty 250-words-or-less essays about myself -- why I like modeling, if I ever use my looks to my advantage, whether I'm a competitive person, etc. I'm hoping the sheer volume of verbiage required scared off the stupid models, so the competition will be down to me and other smart chicks. Hmnn, that WOULD make a good show!

Anyway, here's one of the pictures I submitted. Thanks to Gary Winter for the great shot! (Taken in the fountain in Central Park).
