IRISH McCALLA'S MODELLING CAREER

RETURN TO BIOGRAPHY INTRO PAGE INTRODUCTION Before Irish McCalla was Sheena Queen of the Jungle she had another career, and I don't mean working in a factory or serving up shakes in a malt shop.  Irish had won a high school talent quest and had learned that she possessed certain characteristics that made her noticeable. When asked if she knew she was beautiful she said that her whole family was good looking.  She said that she had noticed that boys would stare at her in a way they didn't look at other girls, and she was also aware that girls gave her mean looks.  These special characteristics would be put to good use when she left home and headed west.  This is the story of Irish's meteoric rise to the heights of success in the highly-competitive modelling field.  Sadly, the other girls didn't have a chance in hell.
