Rockford, Illinois -
One of the women on the next season of "America's Top Model" is a Hooters waitress and a lesbian from Illinois.
Kayla is Rockford, Illinois. Her biography on the "Top Model" webpage is pretty standard-- she's 19-years-old, 5'9", Stella McCartney is her favorite designer, and her favorite kind of shoe is high heels.
She said she'd never be caught dead in overalls, and if she were trapped on an island, she would need her cell phone.
But what her official biography doesn't say is that she has a girlfriend.
It's not a big secret (she told "Us" magazine): "Being the openly gay girl in the house, I was afraid about how the others would receive me."
She's also a soccer player.
