Bobbi always knew that she wanted to model: even at the age of 4 she was striking a pose. she was born on December 12th in Austin, Texas.she moved from there to Richardson, Texas and then on to Mission Viejo, California. As a child, she was made fun of. They called me "monkey lips" and she really never fit in.Her mother told her not to worry and that her full lips would be on the cover of Vogue someday. Well, maybe not Vogue, but they did make the cover of Minitruckin' Magazine......
Bobbi Billards Bio.
I first started modeling at the age of 12. My parents thought that maybe modeling school would improve my self-esteem. When you are teased so much, sometimes you start to believe the insults because part of your self image comes from the feedback you receive from others. I always felt like a total outcast amongst the kids at school, however I loved being in front of the camera and got a lot of experience early on. Success is definitely the best revenge as long as it motivates you to do something positive for yourself. So that's how I got started in this business. I think it is really important to like what you do for a living and I absolutely love modeling.
At 19, I got my first paying modeling job. It was a poster for Jones Performance Fuel Systems. For this job, I had to hold this carburetor made by Holley. It was called the Dominator, and I remember that thing was sooo... heavy and I had to hold it still for practically forever. And they say modeling isn't work... The finished product was me (just my body) wearing a patent leather bikini holding the Dominator carburetor and the caption read, "Injection is nice, but I'd rather be dominated!". I made an appearance at the Super Chevy Show in Pomona and signed autographs at the Jones Performance Fuel Systems booth. I was a celebrity for a day. I knew then that this was what I wanted to do.
Nevertheless, I always thought that someone was going to find me and wave their magic wand and make me famous. I know now that that is not how it works. The photographer from the poster, Jeff Tinnion, recommended me to McMullen Argus Publishing Company and I showed them my pictures. I got the job to be on the cover of Minitruckin' Magazine in August 1998 and from that I got to be in the Hot Bike and Street Rodder 1999 Calendars. It has pretty much snowballed from there. Since then, I've been in an ad for Dragonfly, which ran in Surfing Magazine for 2 months, Playboy Magazine (Sept. 99 issue, page 177), and appeared on the cover of Hot Rod Bikes Magazine's January 2001 issue. Now I am appearing on the boob tube too (LOL!). You might have seen me on the Howard Stern Productions t.v. show "Son of the Beach" which airs on FX Networks or starring on the t.v. show WOW Women of Wrestling as Summer of the Beach Patrol. Not only can I model and act, I kick butt too! =) I am in the Diet Dr. Pepper "Green Bay Watch" commercial which aired over Superbowl XXXV. Yes, I'm the one that gets hit in the head with a snowball, LOL! Its all in a days work ya know? *giggle* You can also check me out in Blues Travelers music video "Girl Inside My Head" by clicking here. I recently got a cover and 31 pages of pics in the July 2002 issue of Muscular Development magazine. Then they featured me in their August 2002 issue wearing nothing but sand! You can check out my centerfold on their website by clicking here. My goal is to keep modeling for Muscular Development and hopefully do some of the other fitness magazines too. I still keep getting great job offers everyday.
I am really appreciative of all the wonderful people who come and visit my site. I am so glad that I started the webcam and chatroom because it has given me the opportunity to get to know a lot of you. I consider you guys like my family, we spend so much time together. It's refreshing to have a way that I can meet people in a completely unsuperficial way, knowing you only by your personality. I live in Southern California and it seems as if to a lot of people these days it's all about what you drive, where you live, what brand you are wearing, how much money you make, etc. You guys have given me a lot of hope that not everybody is like that. I invite you to get to know me by visiting my Livejournal and also stopping by one of my LIVE shows.
There's been a lot of people who have helped me along the way. I honestly think that I have been extremely lucky, oh and good karma didn't hurt matters any... I'd like to thank Jeff Tinnion (for getting the ball rolling), Kimiko and friends at Girl2 (for getting me out of a jam), VEE, SpyderDan, Chad aka TheRatedR-Guy, Sarah, Chris, & Scooter (Friends are forever!), my family (for putting up with my wild and crazy ways) including my late father; may he rest in peace............
