Sunny Explains Why She Turned Down Playboy In The 90s

In an interview with The Ross Report (via Wrestling Inc), Sunny spoke about why she didn’t pose for Playboy in the 90s after being AOL’s Most Downloaded Celebrity in 1996. Here are highlights: On getting hired by WWF in 1994 : “After six and a half years, I was working at Smoky Mountain and I was in the apartment with Chris [Candido]; the phone rings and I pick it up, and I hear, ‘Hi, this is Bruce Prichard from the WWF.’ I went and called Chris because I assumed it was for him,” Sytch explained to JR. He said to me that he was calling for me, not for Chris; so I asked him, for what, because this wasn’t something I was striving to do or wanting to do; it was just something that fell on my lap, and then that was how I was hired by the WWF at the time. It was such a crazy rollercoaster over the years, so by the time I turned 21 years old on December 7th, and December 15th I had started working for them. It was crazy.” On breaking into the business : “ Smoky Mountain Wrestling was my fi...

I went and called Chris because I assumed it was for him," Sytch explained to JR. "He said to me that he was calling for me, not for Chris; so I asked him, for what, because this wasn't something I was striving to do or wanting to do; it was just something that fell on my lap, and then that was how I was hired by the WWF at the time," recalled Sytch.

Back-to-school: The hopes, fears, excitement of the WFAA family

Image
With the beginning of a new school year, WFAA team members share their personal hopes, fears and excitement.   Anchor Cynthia Izaguirre A Milestone Moment   (Photo: Cynthia Izaguirre ) It's a milestone moment. In a couple of weeks, my 5-year-old twins will start kindergarten and be in a class setting for the first time in their lives. They were never in daycare or pre-K. Since I work the night shift, that would've meant not seeing them in the mornings. My husband and I have enjoyed teaching them a few things daily before I go to work, including Spanish, their ABCs and numbers. They can also recite for you the acceleration of gravity thanks to their architect dad. But, alas, it's time to turn them over to the real pros. People keep asking me how I feel. Before I answer, let me rewind a bit. The last couple of years have been hard grappling with this moment. Here's why. I work night side . When they get off school, mommy will already be at work. I'll only see them...

Sarah Uhl: Illustrator, Adventurer - REI Co-op Journal

Once poised for the Olympics for track cycling, today, after a decade of searching for her greater purpose, Sarah Uhl shares her creativity and love of nature with the world through her art. Sarah Uhl is lying face down in a field of green grass and bright yellow flowers , her legs sprawled out behind her, chin no more than a foot away from her painting. The fingers on her left hand press backward from holding her work in place against the earth. She grips a pen in her right, meticulously drawing out a section. Her brown locks creep out the sides of her purple synthetic hoody . Eyes focused. Attention complete. Just like when she was cycling. Her drive comes from the need to examine herself through exploring “the growth that comes with each new chapter of our lives. That’s what I do with my art, it’s a pliable canvas,” she says. “It’s a hunger to keep growing, to evolve, to push myself outside of my comfort zone.” On the page is an interpretation of her surroundings, which “exists ...

Freedom on four wheels: Van life on the rise in Boulder County

Image
'Your home is wherever you stop and that's what's really, really cool about that whole idea' Rain patters on the roof of John Salhany's 2006 Mercedes Sprinter van as he points out the half-finished ceiling of tongue-and- groove pine paneling that will eventually continue down the walls over layers of plywood and reflective insulation. Items strewn in the hollowed back include a dusty climbing rope , a road bike and a six-pack of Upslope Brewing Company 's Citra Pale Ale . All his essentials will soon have their places once the van build-out is complete, when Salhany will have a bed big enough to accommodate all 6 feet, 2 inches of him, a countertop with a sink and drawers, and maybe even a backsplash with the cutout of the mountains — amenities like that of a house. "I have a lot of friends who are buying houses right now who are just getting to that age, all on the East Coast and I'm just like, how do you guys know where you want to live?" said...
