Kelly Monaco

Where you’ve seen her:
A regular on General Hospital, she sent the nation into cardiac arrest with her mesmerizing, bonbon-shaking—and dress-breaking—performances on the summer TV hit Dancing with the Stars.

Shake dat ass!
“You can't intrude on a woman unless you're invited in, but so many men end up in a corner and just kind of bob their heads or tap their feet. Go out! Dance! Be free! I'd rather see a guy out there making an ass of himself than holding up the wall.”

Wonder woman
“I was in the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing Series, in an all-women's division. My first race was at night, and it consisted of 12 miles of off-road running, three or four miles of kayaking, and 12 or 15 miles of mountain biking.”

Buggin' out:
“I don't think I'm that tough. I think it's heart and inner strength. I'm like an ant. I look little, but if you pick and poke enough, I'll bite back.”
