Is it just us, or does time seem to fly by these days? With all the events this past month, we can hardly believe it's already May. We thought long and hard about who we would feature for this month, and after some careful consideration, we decided to sit down and have a chat with a model who's perfectly suited to help us usher in the summer season and a long list of exciting events to come...

TP: So we have to ask, how did you hear about us? What were your thoughts when you found out that you would be featured on our site?

CV: I heard about TunerPlayground when I was doing car shows. I thought it was so awesome when you guys asked to feature me. All I wanted to do was to go out and grab a beer to celebrate ^_^

TP: When did you get into modeling? Were you "discovered"?

CV: I got into modeling when I turned 19. I started out by doing local car shows and here I am today!

TP: What has been your most embarrassing moment as a model?

CV: Falling on my ass in the middle of a runway show. Then instead of finishing off my walk, I ran off the stage like a complete dumb ass. =/

TP: What did you do with the money you made from your first real paid gig?

CV: I took myself out to dinner. It wasn't a lot of money so I just had a big hearty meal. Hey, a girl has to eat right? ^_^

TP: What do you think is your best physical feature, and whom do you have to thank for it?

CV: My smile!! I would have to thank my parents.

TP: How long have you been gogo dancing? How did you get started?

CV: I've been gogoing for about one year now. I started in the fall of 2008. I knew a lot of gogo dancers and they were always asking me to dance with them so I just took them up on the offer. Plus, it's sOoO much fun. Getting paid to have fun?? HmMM sounds perfect to me!

TP: Has modeling allowed you to do a lot of traveling? Where do you really want to visit?

CV: Yes, tons of traveling. I've loved every minute of it! I really want to go to the BAHAMAS ^_^

TP: So what do you do when you're not posing front of the camera or shaking your goodies on the dance stage? Do you have a regular job like the rest of us?

CV: Yes, I do but for personal reasons I'd rather not say LOL. I work part time, go to school full time, and model & gogo the rest of the time.

TP: Who would you say is your biggest role model?

CV: It would have to be my family. I see their success and how hard they work and it makes me want to work twice as hard to get what I want in life.

TP: Do you like to go clubbing with friends when yourre not working? What is your favorite drink to order at a club?

CV: I LOVE to go clubbing with my girls. Who doesn't? My favorite drink would have to be beer LOL. I always get a negative reaction whenever I order beer at a club. My friends are always telling me that beer will make me fat. I don't give a shit. It hits the spot and I LOVE it haha ^_^

TP: So I'm sure your fans want to know, do you currently have a boyfriend? If so, how did you guys meet?

CV: Yes, I do have a boyfriend. Sorry guys, this chick is taken but not permanently off the market yet! My cousin introduced me to him and we hit it off. We've been together ever since.

TP: What are some of your turn ons? How would a guy be able to get your attention and keep things interesting for you?

CV: My biggest turn on is when a guy has confidence. It's super sexy to know a man is sure of himself. I wouldn't want anyone who is insecure or not brave enough to holla at me, haha!

TP: What do you think is the sexiest part of a man's body? We only ask because we want your fans to know what they should be focusing on at the gym.

CV: ARMS!! I love the feeling of having big strong arms wrapped around me...take notes guys! Hehe.

TP: Favorite position in the bedroom? Don't be shy.

CV: OMG. Are you serious?! Haha this is WAY too personal, but I LOVE you guys and I guess only TunerPlayground could get me to answer this! My favorite position would have to be...the Backwards Cowgirl...if you don't know what that is, google it LOL! ^_^

TP: What's the best pickup line that's ever been used on you? Did it work?

CV: NO pickup lines have worked on me yet! LMAO, but the worst pick up line any guy has every used on me was, "Do you want some chicken?" I was like, oh hell no, is he serious? I don't think I'll ever forget that because it still cracks me up when I think about it.

TP: Do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do just for yourself sometimes?

CV: I love playing volleyball. I played it all throughout high school. What I like to do for myself is just relax. I'm such a busy girl that when I do have spare time I try to kick back as much as possible.

TP: Since most of our site visitors love cars just as much as models, we have to ask, what do you drive right now? What car is simply irresistible to you that you just have to own someday?

CV: I currently drive a 2000 Acura 3.2TL. THANK the Lord that it's paid off. Someday I want to own a SUV. Not sure which one yet, but I want a BIG car. As of right now I'm satisfied with what I have. No payments, no worries, right? Haha ^_^

TP: Did you ever imagine that this is where you would be 5 years ago? Where do you see yourself in an additional 5 years? What would you want to have accomplished by then?

CV: I would have never imagined in a million years I would be modeling. I always thought of myself as a bit of a nobody. To be honest, 5 years from now, I would love to be done with school and have my BA. I would also like to still be working in the modeling industry, maybe even doing some behind the scenes production work.

TP: We understand that you recently became one of the newest members of TunerGoGo. How were you recruited? Are you excited about all the upcoming assignments that the squad will be taking on? Will your fans also be seeing you at other TunerPlayground events as well?

CV: I'm SUPER excited! Joining a team is like gaining a new family. I'm so glad that Tom asked me to be a part of it. And yes you guys will be seeing me at a ton of TunerPlayground events this year!

TP: We heard you have a new website under construction. Tell us more about it. When can we expect it to be finished? Will there be a paid members section? If so, do we get a free pass?

CV: Yes it is under construction. I'm actually learning how to manage my own site, which I think is the best way to go. I will definitely keep everyone posted on any updates. And OF COURSE TunerPlayground will get a free pass!! ^_^

TP: We should probably wrap things up now seeing as how it's now past our bedtime. Any last words? Shout outs? Plugs?

CV: A big THANKS goes out to everyone who's helped me develop as a model and lots of KISSES to all my supporters! I'd also like to thank Keith Selle for photographing me, and everyone at TUNERPLAYGROUND, I love you guys! For more of me, visit: Myspace.com/CristalVang

TP: Well, on behalf of all of us here at TunerPlayground, we'd like to thank you for sitting down with us and letting us ask you really nosy personal questions. We hope you had as much fun as we did and hopefully your fans will have as much fun reading this as we've had writing it.

CV: Hehe, I had a great time too! See you guys soon!
