Tori Praver's Q&A
The one thing I'm absolutely obsessed with lately is ...
Bikram Yoga. The physical aspect, and mentally I just love it. I'm definitely obsessed with it, it's something I've really been into for the past six months.
On a quiet, rainy day I usually ...
Go to the movies. I love comedies.
If I were giving a tour of my home, the one place I wouldn't show anyone is ...
My closet because it's not the cleanest place.
The sexiest thing a man has ever done for me is ...
I woke up and my boyfriend had covered my room with rose petals for Valentine's Day. Every inch of my room was covered in rose petals. He spelled out 'I love you' in rose petals on the bed. You should take note of that one, it works [Laughs].
And the sexiest thing I've ever done for a man is ...
I can't tell you that [Laughs]. Well, I threw a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend.
I feel a secret connection with ...
Angelina Jolie. I've always followed her, she has the same birthday as me. Bar [Rafaeli] has the same birthday too, which is funny. Anyway, Jolie has always done environmental things and charity work. I respect her a lot.
In a past life I was ...
Everyone's always said I was an old soul. I'm 19 but I seem so much older. I love rock and roll. I always think of what I might be in my next life, not what I was in my past life. Maybe I was a mermaid. [Laughs]. The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie.
If I didn't have any responsibilities tomorrow morning, I would spend tonight ...
Flying home to Hawaii.
If you asked my friends about me, the first thing they would tell you is ...
I'm very outgoing and very outspoken. I do things on a whim, very spontaneous.
The last thing I really splurged on was ...
My trip to Tahiti. It's a really expensive place to go to. I went with my boyfriend. He surfed in a contest there, he's a professional surfer, his name is Danny Fuller, and he had this crazy sequence where he was going into 10- and 20-foot waves.
If I were going to a costume party tonight, I would dress as ...
I love that question. I always think about this kind of stuff. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I was just thinking the other day what I would be this year. What's something I could wear a wig to? Last year I was a vampire. Oh, I'm going to be a mermaid. I'm going to make little shells and a fish mermaid tail.
When I get dressed to go to the grocery store, my clothing inspiration is ...
I'm casual. I'll usually wear jeans and flip flops.
When I get dressed up for a party, my clothing inspiration is ...
I'd probably wear jeans and high heels and a tank top. I'm a very casual person. I love jeans and bikinis.
One thing I do only when I'm home completely alone is ...
I talk to myself. [Laughs] I keep myself occupied. I'm different.
If I had to spend $1 million right now, I would ...
I would pay for me and my family and friends to go travel to an exotic destination for a vacation, like Africa.
If I had to spend $10 right now, I would ...
I would probably buy coffee.
The sexiest I've ever felt was ...
I have a friend who is an underwater photographer and he got a couple photos of me in a magazine swimming in my bikini under waves in Maui, a year ago, and its really cool looking.
The one place I've seen that I'll never forget is ...
Tahiti or Maui, especially Maui because I grew up there and it's my hometown, and it's honestly the most beautiful place in the world.
I won't date a man if he ...
If he's not funny or if he has bad hygiene
My favorite time to be naked is ...
When I'm sleeping.
When it comes to nudity, most people don't know that I ...
People know that I'm pretty open about my nudity so there's nothing that they don't know.
When I open my eyes in the morning, the very first thing on my mind is ...
My boyfriend because he's lying next to me and I kiss him.
My favorite thing to do in the comfort of my own room is ...
Sleep. I love to sleep in the comfort of my room.
An athlete I have a secret crush on is ...
My boyfriend Danny Fuller, who is a professional surfer.
How about an entertainer?
Probably a reggae artist, like the Marley brothers. I love reggae.
And name one surprise crush who most people wouldn't find particularly attractive.
Bill Clinton
If I could be anything but a model, I would be ...
I would be a chef. I love cooking. My favorite thing to cook is Italian food, pasta, lasagna, eggplant parmesan. Anything Italian is fun to cook.
In a group of people, I'm always the first to ...
Start a conversation. I'm usually the first person to do things.
The worst lie I ever told was ...
When I was in grade school, thinking I could lie to my mom when telling her I was sleeping at a friend's house and we weren't.
To impress a cute man at a bar, I would ...
Be myself, laugh, smile. I wouldn't go up to them and start a conversation. I don't think I've ever done that in my life.
The last time I saw a woman and thought 'I wish I looked like her' was ...
I always wished I had dark hair like Angelina Jolie. I've never tried it.
The one thing I'm superstitious about is ...
Oh my God, I'm superstitious about everything. [Laughs.] A red ring around the moon means something bad. If a broomstick falls, it means there's somebody bad at the door. If you spill salt you have to throw some over your left shoulder. When you cheer or toast someone, you always have to look them in the eye.
My personal hero is ...
My brother, Ryan, because he always had a very positive outlook on life. He would have been older than me. I have his name tattooed on my wrist.
Where's your hometown?
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.
Do you have any sort of special connection with your hometown?
I feel really lucky to have been able to grow up there in such a beautiful face and have the ocean there and feel safe in my environment and never having to feel scared or worried. People are so nice and friendly. It's just a special place for me.
Where's the one place you have to go when you're in your hometown?
Hanolua Bay because it's world-class waves and it's so beautiful. Also, Hana, because it's so gorgeous.
