MFM: You have some amazing images shot by Mario Barberio-They are very colorful, where did you shoot? HD: We did it in this place where Mario knows the owner. It%u2019s an hour east of here, in the middle of nowhere, and I was like where are you taking me, where the heck are you going? We went through the dessert, and there was one liquor store and a Domino%u2019s pizza and a McDonalds in this town, but then there was this huge, beautiful, structure. It looks like a water park, or a theme park, with huge walls and different waterfalls, and all in the middle of nowhere. It%u2019s crazy; there is dirt and dust and brown everywhere, and then there is this huge white pond of beautifulness. At the time it was painted pink for a L%u2019Or%u00e9al commercial, and now everything has been there. Victoria%u2019s Secret did a shoot there, and they%u2019ve done a Ford commercial. It%u2019s crazy how it took off. It was really awesome because not a lot of people get to do it, since normally you have to pay, but Mario knew the guy, so we got to do it for free.But the sad part was that the owner had these four dogs who were way too skinny, and I almost called ASPCA; it was so sad. I work with a company called Models and Mutts, and that%u2019s what we do. When shelters get these dogs they take pictures of them, but they are scared in their cage and look terrified, so people don%u2019t want to adopt them based off of those pictures because they probably think, oh they will bite my hand off. So we go to these shelters and video tape the dogs with us in an open yard and take cute pictures with the models and dogs. Then they use those images for their websites. Although it%u2019s really hard; I%u2019m so emotional about dogs and animals and trying to do that and not take them all home with me is really hard. MFM: The Olympics are coming up this year-do you follow them at all? If you had the chance, what sport/s would you like to participate in?HD: Gymnastics-a gazillion percent! That%u2019s one of the best to watch too. My sisters and I always watched the gymnastics events and the swimming ones. I love to watch all sports, and football season and basketball season are my favorites, but with the Olympics you love to watch other sports that you wouldn%u2019t normally sit down on a Saturday night and order pizza and watch on TV. Oh and the high diving too-that%u2019s one of my favorites! I
