Let's start by telling us your name and where you're from.
Hi my name is Tanya Ann Schafer and I'm from Corona, CA.

What is your ethnicity?
I am half Italian and half German.

How long have you been modeling for?
I've been modeling for 3 and a half years now.

How did you get your start in modeling?
I started by shooting for a local magazine in Riverside. The photographer was a friend of mine so I did it for him as a favor. I ended up being on the cover of the issue and the centerfold as well. From there I started getting phone calls for other jobs and it's been like that ever since.

What would be your biggest accomplishments so far?
I appeared in magazines such as Stuff, Razor, and MPH which is a new fitness magazine.

What else do you do other than modeling?
I'm a full time nanny, but I'll be resigning soon since I'm busy modeling now. I'm also in school but I'm taking a year off right now. I'm majoring in Child Development.

What do you do on your spare time?
I try to work out, go to the movies and dancing with my friends.

Are you a party girl?
I can be if I let it out! When I'm with the girls there are crazy nights.

What is your favorite food?
Italian. Chicken fettucini alfredo is my favorite.

Can you cook?
Of course I can. I love baking too.

What would be your signature dish?
Chicken enchiladas, stir fry, and garlic chicken. I love making cupcakes too.

If you were a guy for a day what would you do?
I don't know since I hang out with guys. That's a hard question!

Where is one place you would like to visit?
I'd like to go to Italy.

What kind of music do you listen to?
It depends on my mood. I'll listen to country, classical, and hip hop since I like to dance. My car radio has every station that's a different style.

Are you currently single?
Sorry, I'm in a relationship.

What do you look for in a guy?
I look for personality. Someone who can make me laugh is the most important thing. Physically, they have to be taller and take very good care of themselves.

What turns you off in a guy?
Hygiene. I look in people's ears! Haha! Especially if you start kissing everywhere, you want to make sure it's clean in there!

Describe a romantic night for you.
It would start at a restaurant located on a beach so you can see the water. Then we would just talk since I love to know more about the person. Wine would be great too.

Where can we see more of you?
You can see me at my website TanyaSchafer.com or on MySpace.

Do you have any last words?
I'd like to say hi to all my fans and thanks for being my fans!
