Lauren...aka Deal or No Deal Briefcase Model #8

One of my best friends – Lauren Shiohama will be on America’s Next Top Model tonight!  Since ANTM is doing an entire season on models at or below 5′7, Wilhelmina had Lauren come on the show and represent the agency as one of their top models.  Lauren is not only beautiful, she is extremely down to earth, intelligent, talented and…I’m proud to say one of my closest friends.  Go Lauren!!  And go ANTM for doing a show on models 5′7 or below.  I’m not just saying this because I’m 5′7, but this season I had more favorites than any other season.  They all look amazingly gorgeous and porpotionate (IMO).

Oh and p.s. you might recognize her as ‘Miss California’ on a small little indie film you may have heard of – ‘Little Miss Sunshine.’
