“I had a really good experience during my photo shoot but freaked out when I saw the magazine. The pictures were way too sexy. I wasn’t bothered by the nudity so much as the look in my eye, the open mouth—it was over-the-top. I also thought the other people would be as naked as I was. But they were so covered, so strategic with their hands and their cats and their fresh-market vegetables. I just put it all out there. I guess I have problems seeing exactly how sexy I can be. I’m always the girl tripping up stairs, falling off my bike, dressing like a boy, talking like a boy and making dumb faces. It’s empowering to prove to everyone that I have sex appeal, but to see myself looking so hot was a shock. I don’t regret it though: I live life like an open book and try to keep things fun. I mean, shit, I was on the cover of Time Out!”
Editor’s note: Because Rugar was unhappy with the shots we ran in TONY 658, we allowed her to choose this image.
There is the combination of sexuality, sensuality, cuteness, beauty, frivolity, peckishnesss, taste and fun in Soo Kim's pics that makes her the star of the shoot. She has thighs and eyes to die for!
I thought Kelly Rugar's picture from TONY 663 was beautiful!! I'd love to meet her!
Well I for one very much enjoyed Miss Kim's sexy picture on the toilet.
