Petra Nemcova

Nemcova was the cover girl for the 2003 edition of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. Nemcova is a survivor of the Thailand tsunami that struck in December of 2004. She suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries but clung to the top of a palm tree for over eight hours before being rescued. So she’s pretty hard core for a Victoria’s Secret model.

Gisele Bundchen

The inspiration for this list, Bundchen has been hot tabloid fodder ever since she started dating Tom Brady. She’s the face of more than 20 brands internationally and is supposedly worth over $150 million. Actually dated Leonardo DiCaprio before hooking up with Tom Brady, which means DiCaprio might be the luckiest bastard on the face of the planet considering he landed Bar Refaeli following Gisele.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin

So what does a tomboy who grows up wearing sports jerseys and spends her free time watching football games on television, end up doing when she grows up???? Bonnie-Jill Laflin is one of the most successful and sexiest professional cheerleaders the entire world of sports has ever produced...So much so, that she is probably one of the very few people to be presented with a Superbowl ring (San Francisco 49ers 1994-95) and three NBA Championship rings (L.A. Lakers 1999-00, 2000-01, 2001-02) for her extensive work assisting the general manager and the scouts during the NBA draft. Recently voted as one of FHM's "Most Eligible," the athletic beauty is combining the two loves in her life...fashion and sports. Bonnie-Jill is the founder of the hottest new clothing line to be sweeping the NBA, Double Play Sportswear, and is pursuing her dream as a sportscaster for Sporting News Radio and KCAL 9 (CBS' sister station in Los Angeles) as a correspondent. Bonnie-Jill's big break came just before her 18th birthday, when she was selected to the Golden State Warriors' cheerleading squad - being named in her first year by the NBA as Cheerleader of the Year.

A year later, Bonnie-Jill was accepted to the San Francisco 49ers Goldrush Cheerleading squad, earning that season her most prized possession, a Superbowl ring. For the 1996-97 football season, Bonnie-Jill was one of 1,300 girls vying for one of only 13 available spots on "America's Sweethearts", otherwise known as the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading team - an intense two-week competition and tryouts - eventually becoming a member of the renowned squad. Becoming a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader has helped the beauty get modeling jobs for swimsuit calendars that eventually got her noticed by casting agents and producers. Bonnie-Jill landed a recurring role on Baywatch after the show's casting director spotted her layouts in a calendar.

However, Laflin is familiar to most television viewers who may not be sports fans from her memorable four episode guest appearances on Ally McBeal, playing "Billy's" dream girl.

Bonnie-Jill had also made guest appearances on Nash Bridges and The Jaime Foxx Show. A trained dancer, Bonnie-Jill had been featured in music videos for artists such as Lou Bega ("Mambo Mambo" & "Tricky Tricky"), Creed ("What If") and Little Texas ("God Bless Texas"). Frederick's of Hollywood knew they had struck gold when Bonnie-Jill Laflin walked through their door and they have been using her as one of their own sexy sirens ever since.

The pretty face and heavenly body of this former Miss Dallas-Fort Worth have also launched Bonnie-Jill into the advertising world - having been featured in Nike, Wrangler, Fritos, Carl's Jr., Coors, Miller Genuine Draft and Budweiser ads. The beauty has also been featured in numerous publications, including FHM, STUN!, Razor, OYE and Controversy magazines.

A native of San Francisco, Bonnie-Jill currently resides in the Los Angeles area with her Chihuahua/Boston Terrier mix, Diamond, and her two Calico cats, Dallas and Star.

In her spare time, which does not amount to much these days, she prefers horseback riding, boxing, rollerblading, and running. The aspiring sportscaster also follows the NFL, NBA and MLB daily stats as well as her racehorses (Lil' Miss Hollywood and Dancin' Deputy) - about the only remnants left from her tomboy days.

Malisia

Malisia grew up in small town outside of Chico, California. Her mother was a farmer�s daughter who inherited flood zone property and an old, run down ranch house. The large family grew crops of wheat and barley. The farm was also home to several wild cats as well as chickens, horses and cows that frequently escaped their rickety pens. On the farm there were always chores to be done.
Everyone had to pitch in. Being the second of five children, for several years Malisia shared a bedroom with three of her siblings. She tells stories of two bunk beds stacked next to each other - talk about never having any privacy!
Malisia�s exotic looks can be attributed to both her parents being of American Indian heritage. They separated and then divorced when she was in the first grade, and she barely knows her father. In the fourth grade Malisia�s family relocated to Australia she lived there for five years. Malisia�s youngest brother and sister still live in Melbourne, and she still keeps in touch with her best friend from elementary school. Malisia wanted to be a model and she started competing in beauty pageants at fifteen years old, while still in high school.
She attended Princeton High School and graduated at age sixteen out of a class of just nine students. It was then that she entered her first bikini contest, and won.
One of the many prizes that day was a free photo shoot.
Modeling was what she was dreaming of and this opened the door for her. Hoping for her big break, Malisia modeled for local clothing stores, alcohol distributors and even the fast food restaurant where she worked by day.
She continued to dream of the day when she would hit it big. During those fast-paced days of modeling jobs and while attending her first year of college, Malisia was devastated when her mother was involved in a fatal car accident.
She decided to take five years off from school, but later returned to receive her Associates Degree in Computerized Business Management from Heald College in Santa Rosa, California- all the while modeling professionally part time.
Malisia is as persistent as a woman gets; she was denied fourteen times for Playboy�s Centerfold! She was eventually chosen as a Newsstand Specials Model (now known as Special Editions) and was published in the �College Girls� issue.
She was later selected as one of the Readers Choice Top 20 Models and was consistently featured in the Special Editions publications. Malisia has been featured thirteen times in Playboy publications, more times than the average Centerfold. Through persistence, patience, and a strong belief in herself, Malisia has everything she ever dreamed of and more.
Her modeling career has given her opportunities to travel the globe, see the world and experience many different cultures such as: London, Melbourne, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. Malisia�s goal is to continue her modeling career and most of all is committed to living each and every day to the fullest. There are no boundaries for this beauty!

Miki Black

The early years
Here's my life story in a nutshell: I was born and eventually I will die. Oh, you want more? I'm flattered!
OK, I was born on May 31st and due to the fact that I have stopped aging, I cannot disclose the year (that was part of the deal). I am definitely a Gemini, a very strange breed and the sign of the Twins.
My ethnicity is Japanese/Caucasian. My mother and father met in Okinawa, Japan when my father was in the Army Special Forces. They married, had my brother, moved back to the States and had me. No, I was not raised as your stereotypical "military brat", but we did attend many crazy Special Forces reunions growing up
I spent my early childhood in the Midwest, my elementary and junior high years in Saudi Arabia of all places, and back to the Midwest for high school and college. I was quite the problem child back in the day so we'll leave most of those details out. Believe me, I was an unusually evil teen. What saved my ass throughout were my art, music and a supportive family.
During my years overseas, I was lucky enough to have traveled with my family all over the world. Before my teens, I had already traveled to Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Italy, France, England, Ireland, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Korea, and Saudi Arabia, and I'm probably even forgetting a couple places. These were mostly vacations that we took as a family during just about every holiday break that we were given. After all, living in Saudi Arabia was no picnic so we took advantage of every travel opportunity that we could. As a result of living in a foreign country for six years, combined with all the traveling that we did, the experiences and sights that I've seen have caused me to view the world from a very unique perspective. It's also contributed well to my insanity!

I always had a love for the arts, so when it came time for college I pursued the field of Graphic Design. I received my B.F.A. in Commercial Art/Computer Design from Millikin University, a small private liberal arts college in Illinois and worked as a Graphic Designer for a few years. Meanwhile, I had been dreaming about making the journey across the country to Southern California and I finally did just that in the fall of 1999. No regrets! This is truly the best weather in the country and the job opportunities are unreal.
I started modeling in 2001, after realizing that desk jobs are just not for me. You see, I'm a little hyper and I tend to complain just a bit when I'm confined, so sitting for eight hours a day is like a form of torture for me. Modeling has definitely been rewarding. I've modeled quite a range from beauty to glamour to fashion.
In 2002, I began focusing on music, namely the guitar, which I've been playing since my early teens. I'm now working on some amazing music projects and I only wish that I had moved to Cali years ago.
I love what I'm doing now. Every day is an adventure. I meet tons of people and it sure breaks the monotony of a nine-to-fiver. There is still so much more that I have yet to accomplish. What does the future hold? I couldn't tell you. I can tell you this...it will definitely be an interesting journey.
