They're words any man wants to hear from Lisa Gleave: "This will be a chance to explore my wild side." It would be nice if she said them while contemplating a tarty number at Victoria's Secret or tugging at her bikini strings on a beach in the south of France, but she's merely reading the menu at a sushi restaurant. Still, it means we're having lunch with Lisa Gleave, displaced Australian guardian of briefcase number three on Deal or No Deal, and that ain't bad. Her wild side in this case is gustatory; she'll have the spicy tuna. It's a departure from the "nice, bland" Aussie fare she grew up on and still likes, but she's an L.A. girl now and feels she really ought to get with the program. She has at least been body-painted, a rite of passage for this town's elite blondes. "The airbrush is cold," she says. "It tickles. They're putting stencils up against your boobs, your butt and other parts my mum won't let me mention. I was in the middle of a six-hour application for an episode of CSI: NY, lying naked on a cold metal table, when I met Gary Sinise. He smiled and was polite." You may also remember a body-painted Lisa from Accepted, in which she and real-life pal Alejandra Gutierrez play flanking eye candy to Playboy favorite Diora Baird. "Alejandra and I were meant to be there for only one day, as the body-painting babes," Lisa recalls. "But the director liked us so much he kept putting us in more scenes." And in that way a starlet was born.
