[edit] Biography
Nicole began modeling for catalogs and fashion shows at the age of six. The following year, Nicole's family moved from Scarborough to Port Perry. When she turned eleven, she stopped modeling for a time, as she was finding herself becoming "too mature to be doing kid's jobs".
When she was 15, a scout from a Toronto modeling agency spotted her outside the Air Canada Centre as she was leaving a concert and offered her an opportunity to return to modeling. Since then, Nicole has appeared in numerous publications and fashion shows. She created and owns her own agency, "A Touch of Class", based in Port Perry.[1]
Nicole studied hotel management at George Brown College in Toronto, but dropped out to pursue a modeling career.
A prominent feature of her body is a tattoo of the word "respect" in Blackmoor font on her extreme lower abdomen.[4]. The placement was due to her career as a model. In that location, she could still model without worrying about the tattoo being revealed on non-nude modelling jobs.[4]
In October 2008, Nicole appeared in a presidential election spoof video for Funny or Die.com. The video, "Playmates Heat Up the Presidential Debate" also features fellow Playboy models Jo Garcia, Grace Kim, and Christine Smith. Footage was taken from the Presidential town hall debate which took place October 7, 2008, and digitally altered to show the women asking Senators Obama and McCain a series of questions.[5]
She has started a charity called Lengths for Love which, like Locks of Love, encourages people to donate their hair to be made into wigs for cancer patients.[6]
Currently she is dating Brody Jenner.[7] This has led to her making a number of appearances on MTV's The Hills.
