THE FACTS What's so great about Phoenix? "Warm winters, the desert, and tons of chicks who all look like Britney." Favorite drink: Cosmopolitan Favorite actor: Al Pacino Favorite team: Diamondbacks Best place to meet guys in your town: "Phoenix is a pickup city—girls trying to take home girls, boys trying to take home boys, couples hitting on couples. Anything goes!" Best place to make out: "On top of a mountain at night between a couple of saguaro cacti. The danger of rolling into a cactus is exciting." Ever skinny-dipped in a neighbor's pool? "A few of the Courtyard Marriott's guests have seen me au naturel."

Yes, she's sunny and sweet, but this Sun Devil is far from sheltered: Vanessa has lived in Hong Kong, speaks French, and loves the Donnas. The long, lanky wonder can outeat you at dinner, then walk home in stilettos. "I love being a girl," she giggles. "I just like being pretty." Perhaps, but not as much as we do, Vanessa.
