Featured Hotty : Marisa Miller who?

So who’s Marisa Miller? I’ve featured Marisa Miller at this blog before but wasn’t able to provide a few facts about this hotty who made waves in the modeling industry.

Marisa Miller, Victoria’s Secret model gained world wide attention when she became the cover girl of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and has not been named to the number one spot in the 2008 Maxim Hot 100 List. Marisa is the first female to debut at number one on the list.

Born Marisa Bertetta in Santa Cruz, California, she was first “discovered” at age 16 walking through a San Francisco café by two Italian modeling agents.[4] After talking to her mom Krista Bertetta, she was on a plane to Italy with her mom a few months later. Marisa says that the most valuable thing that her mom has ever told her was “You can always go back to school but you may not always be able to model.” Marisa took her mom’s advice and soon gained attention when she appeared in a 1997 issue of Perfect 10 magazine. Although she came in third behind Ashley Degenford and Monica Hansen in Perfect 10 magazine’s first annual model search, she was repeatedly showcased in following issues, including the covers of the Winter 1998, Aug/Sept 1999, and Fall 2004 editions. She has two sisters and attended Monte Vista Christian School[5] in Watsonville, California. – Wikipedia
