JESSICA GOMESTEN GOOD MINUTES WITH...

SI swimsuit model ison top of the worldNext step, the big screen?

essica Gomes is anAustralian model ofSingaporean andPortuguese heritagewho appeared in the2008 & 2009 swimsuitissues of SportsIllustrated. She was fea-

tured in a bodypainting layout as a can-vas for bodypaint artist Joanne Gair, andwas part of a record group of seven"rookie" swimsuit issue models.

Jessica, 24, was born in Perth, thebaby of a family that includes two oldersisters, an older brother, a Portuguesefather, and a Singaporean mother.Jessica's mother sent her to finishingschool at the age of 10. It was there thatshe appeared on the hit TV show "BushPatrol," which lead to a modeling contestand the start of a successful career. Shehas appeared in Vogue, Teen Vogue,Glamour, and the Victoria’s Secret cata-log, as well as ads for Adidas, Gap,Motorola, and DKNY. She also recentlysigned with Estee Lauder as the face ofDiddy's Unforgivable fragrance. Whenshe's not walking the catwalks, Jessicaenjoys interior design, yoga, dancing,painting, gymnastics, playing tennis,squash, surfing, swimming, and boxing.She currently lives in New York.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELING?

My mom put me into grooming anddeportment classes at the age of 10, thenit kind of snowballed from there. I was anextra for a couple of local TV shows inPerth, and then in some commercials andfashion shows. I graduated from highschool then started traveling across thecountry, then Europe, then moved to New

York five years ago. It was either that orget some sort of office job in Perth or bea hippie on the beach.

I really realized what I wanted to dowhen I moved to New York. I alwaysknew I had the talent to be in front of acamera.

WHY DID YOUR MOM PUT YOU INDEPORTMENT CLASS?

I grew up 45 minutes inland fromPerth in the hills, so I was very roughcompared to other girls. It’s a veryremote area; I was always climbing trees.I had tomboy mannerisms; that was thereason I needed refinement. When I was10, there were no thoughts of me becom-ing a supermodel in New York.

My teacher at the school passed awayin a car wreck when I was 19. That was abig blow to me; for nine years she waslike my second mother. She taught meeverything – how to eat at a restaurant,how to walk, how to dress, how to put onmakeup. When she died I got a sense ofurgency about getting out of Perth. Iknew I had to get to New York.

HOW DID YOU HOOK UP WITHSPORTS ILLUSTRATED?

IMG, the agency that represents me,has a really close relationship with SI.They sent my card to the magazine, andthe SI people decided to interview me.

HOW MANY GIRLS WERE UP FORTHE SAME ISSUE? DO YOU HAVEANY IDEA?

Think about all the agencies in NewYork and around the world that send incards for the magazine to consider. Therehad to have been thousands of girls up for

consideration. Then SI pared that down toa few dozen to interview.

It’s something I always wanted to do.I remember growing up in Australia see-ing Elle MacPherson in SportsIllustrated. All the girls were so beautifuland natural. It was always a dream, andnow that’s been fulfilled. It’s bizarre.

HOW WAS THE INTERVIEW? WEREYOU NERVOUS OR DID YOU NAILIT?

I was pretty nervous, but they were sonice. Diane Smith is the sweetest editorI’ve ever met; she was so down to earth.She made it very easy; it was chill. Wejust talked about my family backgroundwhere I was from, how I got started inmodeling… the usual stuff.

I’m so happy. I feel so blessed I wasable to shoot with them twice in a row.

WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS WILLTAKE YOU? WILL YOU BE THENEXT BIG REALITY TV STAR?

There are so many doors I want toopen, and that are being opened. Fromthis I have a big fan base in Korea; I havemy own TV show called “I am Jessica

Gomes.” It’s more a documentary-slash-reality show. They followed me aroundwith a camera to my photo shoots andcommercials I shot in Korea. The secondseason they followed me to New Yorkand then Las Vegas for the SportsIllustrated party.

ANYTHING ELSE COMING DOWNTHE PIPELINE YOU CAN TALKABOUT?

I hope to do movies; it’s somethingI’ve always had a passion for. That actingthing’s coming along. I’d also like tofashion design and maybe create my ownswimsuit label. I’d also love to host ashow on MTV. I really would love to goto Cambodia and do some charity workout there; give back.

I want to be a role model for Asianwomen. I definitely admire careers likeHeidi Klum and Tyra Banks.

WELL, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DOWHATEVER YOU WANT TO DOBECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’REGOING TO BE ABLE TO RETIRE BYTHE TIME YOU’RE 30.

I hope so; I really do hope so.

I6 July 31 - August 6, 2009 | The Sports Page Weekly | spor tspagedal las .com

I’m sure my friend Laurie Pendleton is too modest

and hard working to consider herself a bar-babe, but

she’s probably not surprised to hear me say so. The

Pendleton family has been serving up good food and

fun, sports and entertainment since before people start-

ed calling it the “casual dining experience.” With a nat-

ural smile and lots of hard work, Laurie and her staff

bring tons of unique fun year in and year out to many

loyal patrons.And she does it all with the creative flair of an artist

or designer. The kind of girl who can look around a

worn out place and say, “I know just how to fix this

up.”She took over a dank old VFW post in Richardson

and renamed it Babe’s. It became a destination you

would drive to from anywhere for food, fun and danc-

ing. They took a boring spot over on Midway and

Frankfurt and named it Salute, and it became the place

to be. Same with the Moose and Vinnie’s in Arlington,

just to name a few.

I’m looking for a place to throw my next party and

I hear the crusty old Long Branch Saloon in Coppell

has been revamped and renamed the Yucatan Beach

Club. New menu, entertainment, and beach volleyball

courts, too? What a place to start! I hadn’t been there

in a long time so I had to go check it out.

AN OASIS IN COPPELL

Just west of the George Bush Tollway on Beltline

entering Coppell, I come over the hill and see a tropi-

cal oasis in what used to be (to be polite) a gloomy

dive. The place looked so nice I didn’t recognize it, and I

could see palm trees and people playing volleyball

beyond the fences. I’m wondering if I have gear in the

car so I can skip work and play. What a place!

What a surprise when Laurie greeted me at the door.

I didn’t know it was her place but this explains the new

look.“This was an empty shell when we got here,” she

told me. “It didn’t even have a ceiling.” I remember. It

didn’t have people, either.

Not any more. I walk in the door and between me

and a handsome elevated bar are a row of pool tables

with lots of game action going on. Can we stop here for

a minute? “The pool tournaments are fun,” she said.

“So is poker on Wednesdays and Saturdays.”

A row of dartboards about a mile long with seating

along each station occupies one wall – like a bowling

alley for darts. I don’t need to be throwing darts around

other people, but her tourneys are fun to watch. I know

guys who drive pretty far to play here.

The new interior is warm yet open and spacious,

with dramatic architectural elements that carry you

straight to the coast. From the bar you can survey all

the action, including all sports on the six 50” flat

screens. Structures hang from the ceiling like large

tropical flora, and by the bandstand and dance floor is

a floor-to-ceiling waterfall and pond made of stone that

make the building look like it’s cut into the side of a

cliff. “Come see what we did outside” as she leads me

onto the palm tree shaded patio. There are gazebos,

more rock water fall structures, ample room for chill-

ing, even a swimming pool that people dip in to cool

off, enjoy a drink and the great menu. All served by the

very smart and fun Yucatan staff, who make you feel

like you’re at their own party.

And just like a beach in the Caribbean, I see 4 1/2

acres of lighted white sand volleyball action going on.

No wonder it gets so hot here; look at all the hot peo-

ple. Beach bodies banging balls into the night. No

wonder they get thirsty. My kind of people.

I’m thinking I have beach clothes in my car. If I was

smart I would have brought my computer so I could

use the free WiFi to turn in my story.

They have pro and semi-pro competition here, with

fun leagues for everyone. Most notable to me is the

effort Laurie and her staff put into matching youth vol-

leyball leagues with big-name coaches. You’ll see

some of these kids on TV someday. That’s a fun story

in itself.

ON SECOND THOUGHT…

But duty calls and I have to get back to the office, so

what do I do? The obvious answer is I’m not going

anywhere until I go inside, cool off with a cold one and

the famous Yucatan Burger and watch the girls dance to

the music. The juicy half-pounder sports jalapenos,

onion strings, bacon and a cheddar cheese mix that

melts perfectly in the mix. (They had me at jalapeno).

And to say thanks to my favorite bar babe, who can

be all over the place running a show this size. She can

talk to three vendors at once and still make you feel

like you’re the only one in the room.

The boss can wait. I’ve already found the spot for

my party and you are all invited. The Sports Page

Weekly is bringing our 2009 Swimsuit Issue models to

meet you at the Yucatan Beach Club Friday, August 7

around happy hour. We are proud of our local models

and, if history is any guide, you will be seeing some of

them in the big-time soon. They are absolutely

adorable in person when they are signing autographs.

You gotta be here.

To sweeten the fun we are bringing Dallas’ best kept

secret, the high energy rock band Pure Octane, to keep

the energy going into the evening. They play songs you

know, your kids know, even stuff your wife knows.

Bring her, too; this is the biggest party this side of the

Red River until the State Fair and Texas-OU.

Be there or be square. The party’s on. Come meet

our own girls and the band Friday, August 7 at Yucatan

Beach Club after work.

And leave room for a Yucatan Burger.

Our Kind of Girls

he models featured in The Sports Page Weekly’s 2009 Swimsuit Issueare, as the title says, “our kind of girls.” Not only are they beautiful, ofcourse, but they all love sports (even if a couple of them love teamswe can’t stand -- namely the New England Patriots and San AntonioSpurs). Another plus is that the vast majority of them don’t mind par-taking in an adult beverage every once in a while. Only one of themlisted “beer” as their favorite drink, but hey -- that’d be asking for themoon, right? Many, many thanks go out to all of our gorgeous mod-

els as well as the man who had the “chore” of shooting them, photographerextraordinaire Marty Gast. You can lean more about Marty on Page 20. Also,thanks very much to the great folks at Yucatan Beach Club in Coppell, for theuse of their club in providing the backdrop for our cover shot. Find out moreabout YBC on Pages 6 and 7.

We hope you enjoy this swimsuit issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together.Don’t forget, you can meet the girls Friday, August 7 at Yucatan Beach Club aspart of The Sports Page Weekly’s Swimsuit Issue Party (more info on the party canbe found on Page 23). Hope to see you there.

Photography has been a family hobbyever since cameras became affordableand user-friendly. It’s easy to see how somany feel, given the right chance, theycould shoot for TIME or even PLAYBOY.(That would be cool, huh?)

But the only time I ever notice photog-raphers is when they are doing some fam-ily deal. “I need all the nieces over here”for a pic, he would order. Good. Can I godrink now? “You guys are next.” Dang.

Or when I was on the set and the videoproducer blew up a 100 lb. smoke oil tankon an $80,000 Persian rug that wasn’tours. Not cool, dude.

The irony is we don’t notice the pho-tographers who do their job well everyday, but without them, we wouldn’t haveentertainment glitz, dynamic sportsimages, late breaking news stories, thebreathtaking nature photography thatinspires so many of us to wander out andsee for ourselves, even the lovely ladies

of summer we admire every year.Without good photographers, we have noentertainment or reliable news.

BLENDING INTO THE BACKGROUND

The first thing I noticed about MartyGast is that I didn’t notice him. I was at aSports Page Weekly event and he wasdoing the shots that day. “Hey Marty,” Isaid as I introduced myself, “Get a pic ofme dancing with that hot babe when theband starts.” Then I asked the hot babe ifshe would like to dance when the camerastarts. She totally hammed it up.

Marty appeared out of nowhere andfollowed us around the dance floor,shooting high, aiming low, grabbingangles, and with two lighting assistantsattached to his side, he almost looked likehe was dancing also. For the rest of theevent, I never saw him until he attacked,

but by the end of the show he had cov-ered everybody in the place with whatmust have been 50 rolls of film.

“It’s digital, Mike.” Oh. I alreadylearned something.

“You’re a pro, aren’t you, Marty?” Iasked.

“GWCs”, he chuckled. Guys WithCameras. Dudes with a Polaroid and acard advertising nude modeling? “Yeah,”he laughed, “It’s a joke in the biz.” I feelsorry for those girls.

So what does a professional photogra-pher do? He had to think a minute.

“Well,” he pondered, ”Now that youmention it, lately I’ve on the Channel 8set shooting the Good Morning TexasProm Queen, shot the Byron Nelson Pro-Am, the Greater Restaurant AssociationScholarship dinner, a bunch of DallasCowboy Cheerleader hopefuls, the girlsat the Moonlight Bunny Ranch (includ-ing one of the girls’ weddings), theGrapevine New Vintage Wine festival,shot a panther at Lake Bridgeport animalrefuge for an ad (insert gun joke here),some Playboy submittals and all the girlsin the 2009 Sports Page Weekly swimsuitissue.

The dude’s a killa’. Playboy models?Bikini babes? “It’s not what you think,Mike,” he said. “My wife is the love ofmy life and she loves what I do. We evenhave a studio at the house.”

I’ve met his wife and it’s easy tobelieve. “We’re our own mutual admira-tion society,” she said. They are clearly inlove.

I asked how many of his girls becomesuccessful. “You mean how many showup?” he grinned. Just kidding. “I’ve beenfortunate. Most girls that I see are prettydedicated,” he continued. “But I also getgirls who have never been on camera.”

Any tricks to get them to loosen up?“Sometimes I may say we have what weneed, so let’s do some takes just for fun.Those can be the best shots.”

THE PAY-OFFSo what’s the best part of the job,

Marty?“The look on their face when they see

the pics or video, and realize how beauti-ful they all really are. One girl neverthought of herself as a model, but we didso well with her in the session that she is

now pursuing a career. That happensoften.”

There are lots of modeling jobsbesides Vogue or Elle, and even morephotographers who don’t really know thedifference. Marty actually counsels hisgirls on their best opportunities.

This is a guy who spent all summerhanging out with the girls in this maga-zine, yet counts his wife as his mostprized trophy.

I’m sending my daughter over therebefore she decides to go behind my backand shoot for one of those GWCs.

Marty has an eye for beauty. Howcould you not think so about any of thesegirls? They’re all beautiful.

Marty’s Gig bag:(Sponsored by Competitive Camerasand LightTec)

In my location kit I keep the followingitems:• Sunscreen - because you ALWAYS

need protection, and in a pinch youcan smear it on a reflective surface toreduce the amount of shine.

• A garbage bag – for when the skyopens up and starts raining hard.

• Scrunchies – girls use them to holdtheir hair out of their face, I use themlike sturdy rubber bands to hold gelsto my flash

• Yoda doll – I place Yoda on top of alight stand as a "model stand-in" tohelp me adjust my strobe lights.

• Duct tape – because it fixes EVERY-THING!!!

• Protein Bars – sometimes you have tofeed the models when they lose ener-gy, but I mostly eat the bars myself.

• Black pantyhose - placing pantyhoseover a lens works great to softenimages... and makes airport securitysnicker when they look in my camerabag.

• My multi-tool – when you're out onlocation, there's always something tofix.

I buy all my Nikon equipment fromCompetitive Camera. I rent all my light-ing equipment and specialty lensesfrom LightTec. I’m really surprised somany pros in town don’t know aboutthe kind of pro gear they have atLightTec.

#2021 WEIRD, BIZARRE and UNUSUAL$3.50 TODAY MIGHT BUY A DOORSTOPIn 1799, 50 years before the 1849 Gold Rush in California, a young boy, Conrad Reed,found a large yellow "rock" on his family's North Carolina farm, which, until 1802,they used as a doorstop. That's when a Fayetteville jeweler gave the Reed family $3.50for what turned out to be a 17 lb (7.7 kg) gold nugget. Since then, other notablenuggets found in North Carolina have weighed 28 lb (12.7 kg), 25 lb (11.3 kg), and15 lb (6.8 kg).

THE ROSETTA STONEIn July of 1799, French engineers were digging in Egypt, near the town of Rosetta,when they found a stone that was covered in ancient writings. The text is three trans-lations of a single passage, consisting of two Egyptian scripts (hieroglyphic anddemotic) and classical Greek. This accidental discovery allowed for comparativetranslation and became the key ingredient needed to crack hieroglyphic code andunderstanding 1,300-year-old writings from 196 B.C. FYI: The Stone weighs nearly760 kg (1,676 lb).

HE SAILED THE OCEAN BLUE WITHOUT GOING OVER THE EDGEChristopher Columbus (1451-1506) sailed from Palos de la Frontera on August 3,1492, in search of a passage west. On the Santa Maria, his flagship, the crew consist-ed of 52. His other ships, the Nina and Pinta, had a total crew of 18. Oddly, Columbushad on board a Jewish interpreter, Louis de Torres, figuring those he met in the NewWorld would be ancient and therefore, they would speak Hebrew.
