Summer vacation
Are you lucky enough to have a few days off for the upcoming Independence Day holiday, but still haven’t picked a vacation destination? The Divas are here to help. Sit back, relax and imagine hanging out with a sexy Diva at one of her favorite escapes.
“I like anywhere on the beach, I don’t care if it’s St. Augustine, Daytona or somewhere as far as Hawaii, Mexico or the Bahamas, just as long as I can lay out and relax,” SmackDown’s Michelle McCool said. “I do enjoy snow skiing once a year, but I don’t do cold weather too well.”
Speaking of the sand and the surf, check out WWE.com’s exclusive extended cuts of the Michelle McCool: All-American Girl series. This week the Florida native goes for a jog on the beach.
When it comes to rest and relaxation, Mickie James is a sunny Florida fan, too.
“My favorite vacation spot is Panama City Beach, where I own a beach house,” said the Raw Diva.
Vickie Guerrero also raved about the Sunshine State.
“I love Long Boat Key in Florida. Florida’s my favorite place to go,” said SmackDown’s Assistant General Manager. “And Mexico, because of the beach. I love to be in a hotel overlooking the beach. It’s relaxing.”
Maria said Miami is her destination pick, especially because her best friend lives in the vibrant Florida city.
“I love to go to Miami. That’s one of my favorite places to go. There’s shopping, sun, the beach, salsa dancing, everything!” smiled the Raw Diva.
The new Women’s Champion, Candice Michelle, also loves the beach – specifically the Bahamas.
“It’s like 90 degrees 350 days out of the year in the Bahamas. I like sunshine, the beach – can’t go wrong there for me,” the Raw Diva said. “The past few years I’ve kind of changed it up and went to a few different places – I got to visit Hawaii. But the Bahamas, to me, is still the best.”
Torrie Wilson told Diva Dish she can’t wait to say olé to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico this year.
“Hopefully I’ll go in the summer, when it’s hot, so then I can wear a string bikini,” the SmackDown Diva said. “I love Mexico. I love Mexican culture and the food. I was in Cabo San Lucas about seven years ago, and it was just so hot, the beaches were so great and it’s a fun party town, too, so it has everything in one.”
Cherry thinks the Caribbean is sweet. When she and Deuce are in the mood for some time away from SmackDown’s Other Side of the Tracks, they head to the islands.
“Oh, the Caribbean. I love any part of the Caribbean,” Cherry smiled. “I haven’t been to Hawaii yet, or Fiji, but I really want to go there, too.”
As a former Hawaiian Tropic Model, Brooke said she loves to say aloha to America’s 50th state.
“I could go to Hawaii every year – or I did, when I was doing Hawaiian Tropic. I got to go there for a week’s vacation, which was absolutely amazing. I went to Oahu,” the ECW Diva said. “It’s cool to see the way others live. Even though Hawaii is America, it’s a little bit different, with different traditions.”
Brooke’s Extreme Exposé dance partner and fellow former Hawaiian Tropic model, Kelly Kelly, also adores Hawaii.
“I love Hawaii. I would love to go there again,” the ECW Diva said. “I’m a total beach bum. I tried to learn how to surf, but I’m not too good at that, but it’s fun. So I’d love to learn. But I usually like to lay out with my girlfriends and read magazines.”
While it seems many of the Divas are enamored with the tropical sun, surf and sand, a few are fans of other American hot spots.
“My favorite place to go is Las Vegas,” said Raw’s Jillian. “I love the lights – it’s so beautiful. Even though you always lose a lot of money when you go there – well, most people do anyway – it’s just Vegas. It’s fun!”
Finally, Diva Dish is proposing the perfect honeymoon spot for Kristal and SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long – California wine country.
“I like to go to Santa Barbara. I like to go wine tasting” Kristal said. “I like to go to the Firestone Vineyard. Right around Santa Inés there’s a lot of vineyards I like to go to.”
Model behavior
One of SmackDown’s newest Divas, Victoria, recently dished with us on one of her idols – the self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel and reality TV star, Janice Dickinson.
“I’m a huge fan of hers. She reminds me a lot of myself,” Victoria said. “What I admire about her is that she speaks her mind and gets things done the way she wants to get done.”
While Victoria is often busy traveling with WWE, she always finds time to watch Dickinson’s Oxygen network reality show, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
“She’s a tough boss, but she’s been through it. She can talk the talk and walk the walk. I enjoy it. Plus I like fashion, too.”
The Diva recommends Dickinson’s books, Everything About Me is Fake – And I’m Perfect, and No Lifeguard: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel.
“In both books, you feel like she’s right there talking to you. They’re a little gossipy with some of the celebrities,” Victoria said. “She talks about her struggles of raising her kids and going through the business.”
Victoria told Diva Dish she’d have plenty to tell if she wrote a book similar to Dickinson’s tell-alls, and it would be very juicy.
“It would include my struggles through this [sports-entertainment], my childhood and how I got into this, my education. It would be a good novel,” Victoria said, concluding by comparing herself to another classic, sexy TV vixen.
“In Sex and the City, I’m more like Samantha. There’s a wild side to Victoria, I’m not always that serious woman going down that ramp all the time. There’s a little sauciness.”
Not-so-furry friends
ECW Diva Brooke recently moved and was looking for a friend to keep her company when she returns home after live events. What is a lonesome Diva to do?
“I got two snakes! I went to a pet store and I saw a Burmese albino ball python. She’s five-feet long, and I named her Medusa,” said the Extreme Exposé member.
“I have dogs, I have a cat, and I’ve had ferrets, I’ve had birds, I’ve had rabbits, I’ve had anything – you name it. When I was 13, I held one that was 12-feet-long and I thought, gosh, I want one of those,” the animal lover explained.
“Now that I have one and I found out she’s going to get more than 22 feet long, and she’ll actually be able to eat me, I went two days after that and I bought another snake because I wanted to get something that was a little bit smaller,” Brooke said. “He’s not so big – he’s going to get about 8 feet long. It’s a red-tailed ball python and I named him Satan.”
