I'm 19 now, and I go to The New School in New York, where I study Criminal Psychology. My first week of second semester was during Fashion Week when my first editorials in 'CR Fashion Book' and 'Sports Illustrated' came out. It was crazy!

In California, I'm more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I'm in New York.

I went to almost all of the agencies in New York when I first visited. A lot of them wanted to sign me but also kind of indirectly were telling me that I needed to change in some way. Some directly told me that I wouldn't be a model unless I changed the way that my body looked.

For me, fashion begins in New York.

And when I first came out from New York, I hadn't driven in a long time. Now I'm like Joe Speedster.

I was in New York and I walked into this pet store and came out with a dog.
