Her hobbies include being skinny, aspiring to be skinnier, counting her I.Q. points on her left hand, bulimia, talking slowly with an accent, and looking sultry in front of the camera. Nadia’s goals are to become an actress, become a singer, get skinnier, and be a role model for young girls. Nadia is modeling for us the latest line of swimwear.

Predator Versus Prey (an Animal Planet favorite), anyone? Lion: “Let’s see, I had gazelle Tuesday, fox yesterday, today I think I’ll lie here until a zebra walks by.” Zebra: “Mmm, I love grazing on dead grass. Boy, do I feel safe right now. I think I’ll walk by that big, brown, hairy rock that moderately resembles some type of carnivorous feline.” Lion: “You stupid, stupid stripes with legs.
