Cash Casia

Where you’ve seen her:
She’s a model, actress, comedian, and trained opera singer who writes and records dance music.

Good intentions:
“I was known in my high school yearbook as the only virgin in our graduating class. It was true. I was saving myself for marriage. I didn’t quite make it.”

Naked ambition:
“A lot of us don’t like to take our clothes off, but I’m getting there. I’m actually pretty self-conscious about my body. You’re lying there half-naked, and you’re like, ‘Are you sure this looks good?’ ”

Bare essentials:
“I don’t like to wear underwear. So I run around my house in boy-cut cotton briefs and little cotton T-shirts.”
