Her cat is named Zafron, but for some reason she only calls it Turkey. Perfect Imperfection: " Growing up, I was very insecure about my eyebrow-bones. They stick out quite a lot, looking kind of swollen. Or like a cavemen, as a kid in my school once said. Now I really like them. Not only because they give my eyebrows a nice arch, but because its a bone structure that runs in my family. My mother has them and so did her father. I love it when I look like my family."
