Hey Loaan. Now, you are not exactly what people would call a big girl, are you? Just how tall are ya?

Hey, I’m not that short! I’m 5ft 2, which is the same as Christina Aguilera and Eva Longoria.

Would you like to be taller if you had the choice?

No, not really. I can fit in cupboards and stuff like that, which actually comes in handy more than you would think. Plus it means you don’t even need to be that strong to throw me around.

Easily transportable, I like it. What do you do for fun?

I like a few drinks like anyone else, but then I like a few more and I end up dancing like a robot, which is awesome.

Ah yes, I’ve seen you do the robot more than a few times before… Why is it that most girls I talk to don’t really seem to have any huge interest in sports or hobbies? Why are you all so boring?

I wouldn’t say boring, but I think it’s just that guys have more of a competitive streak, so sports and stuff like that appeals to their nature a lot more.

You have a fairly unique look, what’s the story there?

I’m a bit of a mongrel kid, actually. My father is Vietnamese and my mother Caucasian, but I’ve lived in New Zealand all my life.

Whereabouts?

I grew up in Napier.

What was that like?

It was boring. Very, very boring.

What do kids do for fun around those parts?

Ahh! drink and get pregnant, generally! Oh, and when they’re not doing that they drive around in cars.

So Napier isn’t really the place for you then?

No, it’s really not. Auckland is the place for me.

I know you don’t really do much in the way of modelling, so why did you choose to do the shoot for us?

I guess I just figured I’d better do it now before I get too old or something.

What are you talking about, you’re only 22! Who do you think is the best girl we’ve ever had in the mag?

There have been a few but I would have to say last month’s girl Natalie and Laura the month before are both really hot.

Agreed. Thanks for the chat Loaan.

That’s OK, and a big happy birthday to my mum!
