Casey Durkin was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating high school, Casey moved to the Big Apple to attend the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

In 2004, she was crowned Miss Los Angeles and was a runner-up in the Miss California USA Pageant. Casey has been a runway model for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and has modeled for numerous print campaigns including Yana K and Interlude, and magazines such as Seventeen, Women’s Wear Daily, and Apparel News. She can be seen starring in music videos for the Rolling Stones, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, Christina Aguilera and Snoop Dogg. She has also worked as a Red Carpet correspondent for Maxim Online and as a host for “Your LA” on NBC. Casey continues to work in both the fashion and entertainment industry. Lil’ Kim helped the successful launch of Casey’s clothing line, Hush Money, by wearing Casey’s accessories during her appearance at the 2009 MTV European Music Awards.

Swedish, Irish, English, and German.
2. What’s your zodiac sign?
Leo.
3. Where are you from originally?
Massachusetts.
4. What did you like most about growing up in Massachusetts?
I like the old fashioned family values of the East Coast. I also love that education is an important value to have, rather than on the West Coast where the car you drive is more important than your mind.
5. What kind of mischief did you get into while growing up?
You name it, I did it! I was a wild child to say the least. My parents are very conservative, so we didn’t know where it came from!
6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
I would rather not put that in writing to protect myself from the law. (wink)
7. What brought you to Los Angeles?
I transferred from an art school in New York to finish my degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, then I started modeling.
8. What’s your favorite hobby and why?
I love fitness and being in the sunlight and fresh air. It clears my head and makes me feel healthy and shiny.
9. What’s your guilty pleasure?
Going out with my girlfriends. We love to get dolled up and go out on the town, but sometimes we cause a little RUKUS!
10. Who do you admire?
My mother, she is an environmental activist working towards renewable energy for greater interest of the public and the environment not the government. She has been published in Bankers and Tradesmen, The Boston Globe, and The Washington Post.

The part of my lower back before it slopes into my booty.
