I never knew I was so photogenic!

On a gorgeous June day at Venice Beach, I had my picture taken a bunch of times, with the incomparable aid of several wonderful talented artistic creative people who made full use of the background's possibilities for fun and interesting photos.

You've heard the expression "the camera loves him" (or her!)

Well, the camera sure loves these great models who helped me launch my career as an icon. The models are my good friends Abigail Christensen, Rafick Issagholian, Kimberly Leon, and Sarah Shaffer.

Most of all the camera loves me!

Photographer Stephanie Cohen of Elie Photography Studio in Los Angeles did me proud with heaps of artistic shots, showing off my adorable physique and my face full of - shall we say - character.

Thank you thank you thank you - you are all stars!
