This was one of the most unique editorials I had ever done. It was shot in Malibu, California and we had some pretty exotic animals. Everything from baby Zebras, Orangutans, kangaroos, cheetahs, leopards, snakes and even a lion! I love animals, especially big cats. I got to give milk in bottles to the baby cheetahs and leopard and it was an amazing experience. I could hear the babies purring like any other cat would, but I never thought that these more exotic cats would do the same. They are such beautiful animals and were very playful. I got the biggest scratches from their claws all over my arms from them kneading me when I fed them- but I didn’t care because they were so cute! My favorite picture is the 2nd one- He is looking up right in my eyes!
I get the feeling that you’re some kind of model? Like super model?
How far of am I?
Very nice photos — all cats, big and small, are beautiful. Love them all.
So glad to see you’re blogging. You should consider twitter, too. in fact, you might like that more. It’s easy and you can do it from your phone.
Hm…I actually like that Marisa just has this blog on her official website and official forum. As far as twitter Marisa already posted her opinion on fashionmodeltalk and I agree with her. It is great the way it is : all in one place.
nice animals~~~~
Great pictures – I love the baby black leopard.
Big cats truly are amazing animals.

Is this the shoot where the baby orangutan kept urinating on you before they put it in a bag?
yep, that was shoot where the monkey kept peeing on me;)
It looks like you had a fun day “at the office”. You are certainly the Kathy Ireland of your generation: physically – incredibly attractive, but very centered and grounded emotionally. Health and happiness to you and your loved ones.
