This photo was taken during the Victoria’s Secret Holiday commercial. Michael Bay directed the commercials and it was an incredible experience shooting with him. In this photo, I was setting up to do my shot on the pool table. I’m obviously cheating by climbing up on the table ![]()
If you try this at home – wear knee pads. My knees were pretty scrapped up after this shot.
This photo is from the Van Nuys airport. Michael wanted to do a shot where I was roasting hotdogs until they were black and on fire. It was fun working with the pyro team and they made sure the hotdogs were flaming. I had to be careful since I didn’t have protection of any kind, only wearing bra and undies.
I did another shot where I throw knives. Michael taught me how to toss the knife and flip it over and over in one hand. I had to be careful to catch the handle and not the blade when I was flipping it in my hand. The knife was really heavy and big and I thought there was no way I would be able to pull that off, but somehow I did. Then I had to do it without looking at my hand and look straight into the camera! At the end of the day, I had beat up knees and a huge bruise on my hand from the weight of the knife hitting my hand over and over. I love my job…..

Wow, sounds like a really unique shoot. Working with Michael Bay must’ve been a lot of fun!

Marisa, another Angel once said: “See. It’s not all glitz and glamour. There’s a little bit of pain inflicted.” It’s like surfing — it can give immense pleasure and, at times, pain. But, in both cases, it’s worth all the effort.
You are amazing.
All our hopes and prayers for your success in NYC at the VSFS taping on Wednesday! Go, Marisa — you are the best!
Amazing photos. You look gorgeous as always.
I think we would all appreciate some nutrition and exercise advices. You represent a very healthy way of life!
Lots of luck tonight! Go, Marisa, Go!!
Looking beautiful as always! I hope your boo-boo’s have healed by now.
You were wonderful on the ANTM episode!
Tell me there are explosions. I would be greatly disappointed if Michael Bay directed something with massive explosions. Looks like it was a good time!
