Even though my busy schedule allows only a few TR gaming comas here and there, I've managed to finish TR I,II,III, IV and Chronicles (mostly without cheats). I love the game. I like exploring beautiful game levels and solving puzzles. To top it all off, who can peel their eyes off Lara?

I think its very refreshing when a game centers around a woman who doesn't need help or a side kick (don't get me wrong Xena fans). The whole adventuring loner is very appealing. Lara has a sort of freedom that only comes from being financially secure (never mind the Next Gen story line), beautiful and fearless - qualities that few real people have the luxury of. She can go anywhere at a moments notice to find the most exotic and mystical locations. I'd trade my life for hers any day (except the part where people are shooting and monsters are trying to kill me :)

In mundane land, I work by day and act in and do stunts for action movies whenever the opportunities come along. I'm also a guest comic book model at many conventions where I get mobbed by fans. I modeled Lara for Adam Hughes for the Sunken Treasure book. I've also modeled for Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell and Marcus Boas among many others. I perform with the live martial arts show "Once Upon a Time in Chinese America... a Martial Arts and Music Theater Epic" as the Red-Haired Widow-maker. The show is about the destruction of the Shaolin temple and the Legend of the Five Animal Ancestors. Hopefully, I'll be part of a nationwide tour in 2003
