Posted on 21. May, 2009 by Yvonne Smith.

It’s not every day that one gets to be on the cover of a paper and/or magazine. It’s especially not every day that one is on said cover in a bikini! It was quite surreal yesterday walking into Whole Foods and seeing stacks and stacks of Nashville Scenes with me on the cover [...]
