Jessica Rafalowski

Pageant girls are known for their elegance, grace, and ability to rock a bathing suit, so itu2019s no wonder Jessica Rafalowski was crowned Miss Florida in 2008. Since then the leggy stunner has racked up several additional titles, including our personal favorite: 2010 Beach Bunny Swimwear Model Search winner! Get to know the beauty queen turned official bikini babe.

Is it true you won Miss Florida without any prior pageant experience?
tYes! My friends were always away on the weekends doing pageant stuff, and finally they were like, "Why donu2019t you just do it with us so you can be part of it?" I got a bathing suit and a dress and ended up winning.

Wow, your friends must have been pissed!
tThey werenu2019t very happy at first, but I think it changed their perspective on how to compete in these pageants. Itu2019s more about being natural. When I see those girls on Toddlers & Tiaras, Iu2019m like, u201cAre you kidding me?u201d When I was five, I was playing in the dirt with Ninja Turtles!

Now that youu2019re an authority on swimwear, is it ever OK for a guy to wear a Speedo?
tThat is not something I want to see! Iu2019m attracted to manly men who also have strong morals, like a UFC fighter with a heart of gold.

Youu2019ve also won Miss Polonia World. What makes you proudest of your Polish heritage?
tDefinitely the attitude. Polish people love to eat, drink, and be merry. Iu2019m a really healthy person, but when I go back home, Iu2019ll always have vodka and pierogies.

Besides pierogies, do you have any other guilty pleasures?
tIu2019d definitely have to stick with food! I love cooking. On the weekend you'll find me online looking up recipes.

What would you cook for us?
tIu2019m obsessed with macaroni and cheese! Iu2019ll do an organic version with whole-wheat pasta and think Iu2019m not being too bad.

You probably arenu2019tu2014youu2019re in amazing shape!
tWell, I love going to the gym. I donu2019t take classes or anything like that; Iu2019ll just find something heavy and go at it. As long as Iu2019m panting and really sore at the end of the workout, Iu2019m good!
