Tell us a bit about yourself:
I was born and raised in Philadelphia USA and started modelling when I was around 22. My career has provided me with a lot of wonderful opportunities but I shifted my focus to acting and have done theatre, commercials, and TV and film. Being close to New York City allows me the opportunity to audition and work within a large radius.

What would people be surprised to know about you:
I own a small farm and take care of a variety of animals including horses, chickens, donkeys, sheep, pigs, ducks… you name it! I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I decided it was something I wanted to do and I’ve been embracing the challenges that can come with it.

What was the highlight of your FHM Escape trip?
Making new friends, including some of the locals in Sri Lanka, and doing a beautiful photo shoot. In my free time I was able to sight-see, try new foods and understand a new culture. This trip really is every model’s dream!

Describe your ideal man.
My ideal man is hard working and adventurous. I look for someone that is motivated, trustworthy, likes to travel and take on new opportunities.

What is one thing men should always know about women?
We always think one step ahead!

What’s next for you?
I was just accepted into the Screen Actors Guild of America, which is the largest and most prestigious actor’s union in the United States. I’m hoping this provides me with better opportunities to expand my experience as an actor.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I started dancing at the age of five and haven’t stopped. My first professional gig was cheerleading for the Parramatta Eels NRL team. I then went to Japan to perform in an Elvis review show and from there I’ve performed all over Asia and Europe in elaborate casino shows and cruise ships worldwide. I’ve also danced the French Can-can in the Moulin Rouge in Paris, performed in the Guns N’ Roses residency show and as a Jubilee showgirl in Las Vegas, been an assistant to many magicians, choreographed for the Motor Show in Detroit and also been a pole instructor at Pole Fitness Studio Vegas. In 2018 I was runner-up in the FHM’s Finest competition and I’ve since been published in various magazines.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I try to surf in every country I visit! It brings me back to earth and centres my soul.

When do you feel sexy?
Anytime I am performing onstage or on shoots. I feel sexy being dressed up and wearing amazing costumes, lingerie or bikinis and super-high, thin stiletto heels. Also, when I’m at my fittest the confidence shines and it’s a positive influence on others.

What was the highlight of your FHM Escapes trip?
Other than working with the creative team, definitely the safari tour at YALA national park. I had the opportunity to see leopards, elephants, crocodiles… roaming free!

Tell us something new happening in your life right now.
After my FHM shoot in Sri Lanka, I surprised my father in Australia! I just turned up on his doorstep. Therefore, I’m currently spending time with him, family and close friends.

I’m deeply passionate about modeling and eagerly await the exciting opportunities ahead.

Location TRIPLE “O” SIX, MIRISSA SRI LANKA

As we arrived in Sri Lanka for another epic FHM Escapes adventure, we just knew that the quaint and quality Triple “O” Six, in Mirissa, was going to deliver countless memories. When we first received our invitation to visit the 21-room hotel, our first thought was one of curiosity. As Australians and Kiwis we often treat Bali and Thailand as our northern playground – Sri Lanka is rarely even mentioned in the same sentence. Somewhat of a shame because Sri Lanka actually has so much to offer and has absolutely been our favourite tour to date.

About a two-hour drive from busy Colombo Airport, Triple “O” Six played host to our first group of beauties Margot, Izzy, Nikki and Janine. Breath-taking Coconut Hill, the setting of our first group shot, has to be seen to be believed. For their main activity group one took a safari about a two and a half hour drive from the resort. Initially, it felt like a long drive and your sore back and shoulders from the hard seats of the open Land Rover had us wondering if it was all worth it.

It certainly was an absolute privilege as we witnessed elephants, deer, crocodiles, peacocks and more up-close and roaming free in their natural environment. In fact, being charged at by an angry elephant mother, trunk raised, was a very scary and exhilarating experience at the time, but looking back it’s one we now remember fondly. We were in awe of the beauty of this amazing place from start to finish – treated with the respect it deserves, it is not dangerous at all.

By the time the second group of Lisa, Santia, Sarah, Brittany and Blair arrived, our FHM Escapes team of Paris, Corrina, Rocky and Drew were in full flight and created even more magic. A visit to the local turtle sanctuary was the highlight and the girls even released their own baby turtles into the ocean. And like a turtle peacefully gliding underwater, Triple “O” Six was a haven of tranquillity, offering an escape from the worries of everyday life. Owner, Prinith and our on-ground support, Suwani were amazing hosts. And the on-site restaurant served up incredible fresh food, fruit and juices daily.

Yes, we were spoiled for choice with the array of luxurious accommodations Triple “O” Six had to offer and the hotel’s crown jewel is its infinity pool in the rooftop suite, seemingly stretching out to meet the horizon. Beyond its in-house comforts, Triple “O” Six offers surfing, snorkelling and deep-sea diving, exploring the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. For those seeking a cultural experience, they even organise excursions to nearby historical sites where guests can learn about Sri Lanka’s rich heritage and ancient civilizations. Definitely worth a visit and one we will cherish forever.

Magic In Mirissa

Be awed by the sparkling waters, superior service and extreme elegance that is the luxurious Triple “O” Six hotel…

The concierge service is exceptional, providing valuable recommendations and organising various activities and excursions tailored to our preferences.

Speaking of activities, there is no shortage of things to do during your stay at Triple “O” Six. If you’re a water enthusiast, the hotel offers a plethora of options such as snorkelling, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing. Explore the vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life or try your luck at catching some of the ocean’s most prized treasures. For those who prefer to stay on land, the hotel can arrange guided tours to nearby attractions, including the famous Weligama Bay for some excellent surfing.
Back at the boutique hotel, indulge in a pampering session at the tranquil spa. The skilled therapists offer a range of rejuvenating treatments inspired by ancient Ayurvedic traditions. Ahhh, yes, let the stress melt away as you surrender to the soothing touch of their healing hands. Alternatively, you can take a dip in the glistening infinity pool, basking in the sun’s warmth while sipping on a refreshing cocktail from the poolside bar.

And when it comes to dining, Triple “O” Six takes gastronomy to new heights. The on-site restaurant offers an exquisite menu featuring both local and international cuisine – fresh seafood, sourced from the nearby fishermen’s village, is a highlight not to be missed. The skilled chefs create culinary masterpieces that tantalise the taste buds and leave you craving for more. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a selection from the extensive wine list, ensuring a truly unforgettable dining experience. And if you’re looking to explore the area, magnificent Mirissa has much to offer.

Take a stroll along the picturesque sandy beach and take in the stunning sunset that paints the sky in hues of pink and orange. For the more adventurous souls, Mirissa is renowned for whale watching. So why not hop on a boat and embark on an unforgettable journey to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Of course, the hotel can arrange these excursions, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.

Simply put, Triple “O” Six in Mirissa, Sri Lanka, is a hidden gem that promises a luxurious escape like no other.
