Sexy Special

Born and raised in Brazil, fresh-faced Aline Nakashima possesses the sort of exotic looks that one generally associates with a jet-setting supermodel. The daughter of a Japanese father and a Brazilian mother, Aline has always been keenly aware of her beauty — though it never occurred to her that a career within the modeling industry was a possibility. In fact, one of her childhood dreams centered on an altogether different path: becoming a dance teacher. That all changed after Aline, with the encouragement of her family and friends, decided to attend a fashion modeling tryout when she was 17. She was hired on the spot.

Aline spent the next several years taking on any gig she could find, and eventually began appearing in print ads and commercial spots for such esteemed names as Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. Her big break came in 2006 when she was selected to appear in the pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition; Aline made such an impact on the magazine’s readers that she was asked to pose again the next year.

Bobbi Billard was born December 12, 1975, in Austin, Texas, to French and French Canadian parents. Even as a young girl, Bobbi knew that she was destined to model. She relocated to Richardson, Texas and Mission Viejo, California, with her family, where she was surprisingly teased for her looks and never really fit in. Her parents thought that modeling would help raise her self-esteem, so they encouraged Bobbi to start modeling by the time she was 12.

A 19-year-old Bobbi got her first paying modeling job for a poster for Jones Performance Fuel Systems, which consisted of her having to hold a carburetor called, “The Dominator”. From thereon in, Bobbi started to dominate her own career.

After the poster gig, the photographer of the project recommended Bobbi to McMullen Argus Publishing. Once they saw her pictures, she landed the cover of the August 1998 issue of Minitruckin’ Magazine, which led to the Hot Bike and Street Rodder 1999 Calendars.

Since then she has appeared in a slew of print ads and magazines, such as ads for Master Image Customs, Le Camel Sac, Dragonfly Clothing, and Diet Dr. Pepper; posters for CrankUp Scaffolding, Focal Wheels, and WOW Unleashed Poster; a CD cover for the Republic; as well as the Photogenique 1999 calendar, and Iron and Lace 2000 calendar. Bobbi was featured in Play.boy’s Grapevine Section and World Of Wrestling Magazine in 2001.

The Texan stunner has also appeared in television commercials, including those for Pacifico Beer, Who’s Your Daddy Sportswear, and most recently, an ad for Diet Dr. Pepper, in the lead role of “Green Baywatch”, which aired during Superbowl XXXV.

The biggest news of all is that Bobbi is starring on the syndicated TV show, WOW Women of Wrestling, as Summer of the Beach Patrol. Bobbi was even the model for two original paintings.
