A Bonnie-fide
Beauty PHOTOGRAPHY Matthew Mitchell They
say people of mixed heritage have the best genes. Judging from Bonnie-Jill
Laflin I would have to agree. This former cheerleader and current Coors
spokesmodel of Apache-Spanish-German-Irish descent is the best argument
for interracial marriage Ive ever met. But before you decide youve
got her pegged as your typical brainless beauty, think again! Bonnie-Jill
is ambitious, hard-working, AND she knows her sports! In fact she
can probably outdo you and the average Jose at sports trivia. She began
picking up her sports knowledge at the tender age of two, when her father
would take her to ballgames. Shes parlayed her interest in sports
into success as a cheerleader (shes a former Dallas Cowboys, San
Francisco 49ers, and Golden State Warriors cheerleader), a model (youll
soon see her gracing everything from posters and billboards to cut outs
and commercials for Coors Light), and a businesswoman (shes launched
a female-targeted sports fashion company called Doubleplay Sportswear
which offers jerseys, shirts, sweatsuits, and other sports apparel specifically
designed for women). That being said, dont assume that singing Take
Me Out to the Ballgame to Bonnie-Jill is going to get you a date
with her. Believe me, I tried.

Youre the new Coors
Light spokesmodel. Does that mean Coors is the only beer youre allowed
to drink? Really? Youve been a cheerleader
for several teams (The 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Golden State Warriors).
Which was your favorite gig? With the Cowboys there was more exposure, we traveled, and did a lot of fun things. But, you know, we practiced every day and we only got paid $15 a game. It was a lot of exposure, but just not high-paying, which is not too fun when youre practicing six hours a night. Theyre just really strict on the cheerleaders in Dallas. So I had two different experiences.
What was your most embarrassing moment as a cheerleader?
