Kathy Gardiner
HOMETOWN
Baton Rougue, Louisiana
THE FACTS
Best thing about Baton Rouge: “The Cajun part. We have the greatest food.”
Worst thing about Baton Rouge: “It’s really, really humid. It’s just a hot place.”
Profession: Banker. “I call people all day and bug them and ask if they want to refinance their homes with me. The money is the best part about it.”
Favorite sport: Motocross
Number of drinks till sloshed: “One Grey Goose and cranberry and I’m done. I’m totally wasted and passed out in the car earlier than everybody else.”
The globe’s hottie: “I was born in Tacoma, Washington. I lived in Germany, Amsterdam, Italy, Korea, and a few different states, like Texas and Kansas. My dad was in the Army, so I’ve lived all over the world.”
Dirtiest secret: “It has to do with a girl
and a guy.”
THE LOWDOWN
Some things are destined to be. That’s why Kathy is here despite only entering at the insistence of a photographer and then forgetting about it completely until “my friend called me and freaked out and said I’d made the top 100.”
Kathy has a gift for making people lose their poise, such as the time she had to model a thong for a fashion show: “Everyone else had regular swimsuit bottoms except me. Whenever I turned around, everybody’s mouth dropped. It was pretty cool.”
How does a man get that reaction out of Kathy? She says he needs to have nice lips
and better footwear. “It shows his style. I like little Italian leather shoes. I don’t like tennis shoes.” We’re throwing out our Pumas right now, Kathy.
