The notepad, the fridge, cask wine. These are just three of Australia’s most killer inventions. And we can also lay claim to being the land that produced Jessica Gomes, a tantalisingly exotic mega-model with the most dangerous curves in any nation, hemisphere or solar system. The brunette beauty is a five-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition star, recently scored a gig designing swimsuits for Mambo, and cranks up the heat in her first-ever MAXIM shoot. Hot and on the beach – that’s just the way we like Australia’s Sexiest Model…
Did you have a good time at the shoot?
It was so much fun. Literally the day before I’d been voted off of Dancing With the Stars in Korea. But my agent called and said, “Don’t worry, you’re doing a MAXIM cover.” And I was off! I didn’t feel a comedown because I was so excited to do this shoot.
Glad we could help you out. Are you big in Korea?
I started shooting commercials there four years ago, and that led to a TV show called My Name Is Jessica Gomes, which was a sort of documentary about my career and my life.
Are you a good dancer?
I came in third on the show! I didn’t realise how much I would enjoy it. I learned so much, too. It taught me how to move my body in different ways. Dancing really pushes muscles you don’t normally use. I’ve gotten into the shape of my life.
You don’t say. Seeing as your uniform is a swimsuit, are you heaps into the beach?
I love it. When I’m in Sydney, I go all the time to Bondi Beach and have lunch on the beach with my girlfriends. I like to float around and then tan all day.
