“It’s just my personality. Why not? I want to have fun and show off my body, but I have boundaries, like all women.”

The former Project Runway host also spoke about the modeling industry in the 90s and the limited opportunities to participate in fashion shows.

“I went to endless auditions. Only a few asked me to try on their clothing samples, but I just didn’t fit into them. I was 90-60-90 (35-24-35). Clothes stuck to my chest or thighs. Instead, I made a lot of catalogues, and that was fine – I made money,” she said.
