B&B: What about T.I. though?
SM:
If T.I. was to walk into my job… I’d be distracted. [Laughs] There’s just something about him.

B&B: So, you’re single?
SM:
No, I’m taken.

B&B: How does your man handle seeing other men drooling over your pictures?
SM:
[Laughs] That’s so funny you asked. He doesn’t like it. He doesn’t feel that a woman should dress any certain way. I say that he should be confident that I’m with him. People will always look. If they’re looking at your woman, as a man, he should take it as a compliment and leave it be. Bringing unwanted negativity attracts unnecessary attention.

B&B: On your MySpace page, it says one of the last books you read was “Diaries of a Video Vixen.” What did you think of the book?
SM:
Truthfully, the first book, I wanted to read because of the hype. I wanted to know who she was doing and all that. It was a little too personal. But the second book, I didn’t finish it. There’s only so much of something not so positive that I could take. You kind of want to hear what she’s saying, but after a while, it gets redundant.

B&B: How does that make you look at the ins and outs of the entertainment world?
SM:
Honestly, it makes me stop and think about the area of modeling I was going in. When you’re naďve and young, you end up putting yourself in situations that you can’t sometimes get out of. At that point, you need to stop and think about what I’m really doing. People will look at you in a certain way. Would I do a video? Yes… but would I do one when I’m 90% naked… never. It made me change the views of the type of modeling I wanted to do.

B&B: So, if a Chris Brown came up to you and had an ill rap game about himself, he could only get the industry hug and kiss on the cheek, huh?
SM:
From me, personally, yes… I’m 25 and he’s like a baby to me. He’s a cute baby, but something like that doesn’t do it for me. I would want to be looked at like I’m not a groupie. Guys see that and they’re not going to think of you as if you’re anything but a groupie if they see it as such. When they speak my name, they’re going to say it in high regards.

B&B: Your career seems to be going on the right track, but what are a few things you’re looking to do in 2008 that you didn’t get a chance to do last year?
SM:
Let’s just say that I had a lot of opportunities that have come my way. From Dime Piece Magazine to Rip The Runway – there are things that I have lost or done last minute. I’m really trying to push myself out to the public more. I’m making sure that I’m doing as much as I can to have a diverse portfolio. I have a lot more offers this year than I had last year so it can only get better.
