Playboy.com: In the commercials, you're one of the Fantanas, a PG-13 answer to Old Milwaukee's Swedish Bikini Team of the early Nineties, who pop up in dorm rooms and on beaches, beckoning, "Don't you wanna?" That's turned into a big thing.

K.D. Aubert: Yeah, we did an autograph signing at Times Square in New York that lasted two hours. I didn't know we had that many fans. We felt like Destiny's Child.

PB: So, how come you had a tough time breaking into modeling before you were "discovered" behind the makeup counter at Macy's?

KDA: I used to always catch flack about my weight. I've always been an athlete so I've been huge, muscle-wise. It was a lot of muscle tone. They say they need models to be hangers. I used to feel like, how come they don't pin the clothes on me? Everybody else had to be pinned and clamped and stuff, and all my stuff just fit. I thought something was wrong with me, so I just went on the crack diet.... [Laughs]

PB: In college, you played softball for San Diego State. Were you a tomboy growing up?

KDA: I never played with girls. My mom used to have to pin me down to comb my hair. I was satisfied if I was out in the streets playing football with the guys and I came in with my knees all bloody from tackling on the concrete. My house was the best house. I had a huge tree with a tire swing. I had a nice patch of poison ivy that we rolled in when we didn't want to go to school. We had a lemon tree when we ran out of baseballs.

PB: What's with this stompy horse walk that all the runway models do now?

KDA: The runway world is just like anything. It has these trends...the turns and the pivots. Whoever comes up with something, like Gisele, everyone follows. Me? I know I walk like a horse, but I'm bowlegged. My inner thighs have never touched. [Laughs]

PB: You co-hosted MTV's game show Kidnapped where you described yourself as "a dominatrix Vanna White." Who would you like to be kidnapped by for a night?

KDA: I'd have to say Shemar Moore, that hot soap opera dude who's hosting Soul Train right now for what reason I don't know.

PB: What kind of guys do you like?
