What The Fork?
“I was in a Beauty and the Beast musical theatre dance number in 2002 when I was 13 years old and 6 ft tall. Why did they make the 6ft tall girl be the fork? I couldn’t even get through a doorway.”

The Masterpiece
“My senior photo, 1989. I remember the photographer and his helper had to move their set up back in order to capture my whole head. Side note: this picture got me voted Greatest 80s Hair by National Geographic TV’s contest.”
