The one thing I’m absolutely obsessed with lately is …
Anything to do with India. It’s one of the most amazing places. It’s one of my favorite things to do now, read up on India. I’m constantly going into ABC Carpet & Home in New York and looking at all the different Indian furniture … and just the culture and everything. I think I’m obsessed with anything Indian right now. It’s always been a place I wanted to go to and I went to see a movie, The Namesake, and it’s about this Indian family that moves to New York and I remember just going into ABC Carpet & Home, and I just fell in love with the place. I just think it’s so amazing; it’s one of my favorite places to just go to when I have nothing to do, just to go hang out in there and look at all the furniture. I always wanted to study interior design when I was in high school.
On a quiet, rainy day I usually …
Snuggle up in bed and read a book or watch a movie. I like to read a lot of autobiographies and biographies. I most definitely like to read about other people. I think that’s always interesting. For movies, I’d probably watch a movie with Brad Pitt in it, or something, like Legends of the Fall. Yeah, that’s what I did last time on a rainy day: I watched Legends of the Fall with my friends and we were all screaming about how hot Brad Pitt looks in that movie. Stupid girly movies. I actually read the biography about Anna Wintour. It’s a really interesting book because I’ve met her before. I did the Vogue presentation with her. Everyone has this, you know, view of her, and after reading the book I was really like, ‘Wow! She’s been through a lot and she’s really come a long way to where she is now’ and it’s really inspiring to read her book. So that was pretty cool.
If I were giving a tour of my home, the one place I wouldn’t show anyone is …
I don’t have a home right now, it’s more like my hotel [laughs]. Probably my laundry, my laundry piles, or even my bed, where my bedroom is. I don’t like to have guests around my bed. A few private things happen around the bed [laughs], so I don’t like it when people are on my bed.
The sexiest thing a man has ever done for me is …
Gosh, my last boyfriend was a year ago. Well, I’ve got two options, we can choose. Tell me what you think. My first boyfriend ever, he was a surfer and he lived down south of Perth, [Australia], where I’m from, in a place called Yallingup. He took me to one of these really secret little swimming holes with a rock that we jumped off. He kind of blindfolded me and walked me through this big, bushy trail to this really big, open, nice quarry with a big rock that we jumped off and then swam a bit. That was cute. And then, another guy once took me to a day spa and he had it all closed off and nobody was allowed in there except for us and we had wine in a spa bath and we had a massage together and all of that.
And the sexiest thing I’ve ever done for a man is …
I did buy a ticket for my ex-, ex-, ex-boyfriend to come to Korea where I was working. He came to Korea and I threw him a surprise birthday party. It was very cool. He booked the flight and I put it on my credit card. He was a body boarder and so he didn’t really have that much money.
I feel a secret connection with …
I just actually shot my Estee Lauder thing and his album cover, and this is with Sean Combs. He’s a really cool guy, and we definitely probably have a really great connection, we’re still very great friends and he’s a special person. He is inspiring because he’s built himself up from nothing. He’s so business-minded and he believes in himself, and that was always something, some energy, that I got from him when I was working with him. I guess I love my hip hop, or whatever, but he really opened my eyes because I just moved to New York two years ago, and he definitely with me, in meeting celebrities.
In a past life I was …
In a past life I think I was a tiger, a white Chinese tiger with blue eyes. I have this obsession with tigers and I’ve always felt that I’ve had this, like, jungle-girl kind of thing. It’s funny because I have a birthmark on my leg and its white and it looks like a tiger’s print, and my dad always used to call me “tiger girl” … It’s very faint, you can hardly see it. Also, in looking American-Indian, I’ve always had that jungle woman kind of thing going on and so I’ve always felt I had that jungle fever in me, kind of thing.
