If you’ve been reading PAS for a while now, you’ve noticed we get to meet some of the hottest import models in the world. Our endless quest to bring you the new ‘it girl’ every issue involves much more than meets the eye, sure they have to possess a sexy smile, killer curves and look super good in a bikini, but capturing our cover shot can literally take hours and in this case we wished it would’ve taken a few days just to spend time with the adorable Miss Tracy Nova. This Sin City bad girl certainly tops our list, as she’s one model we simply couldn’t get enough of. Her love for fast cars, tattoos, videogames and getting down on the dance floor make her every guy’s dream come true… oh yeah did we mention she’s also a total cutie and confessed she actually enjoys cleaning up? Let’s see if this clean freak gets down and dirty during our interview.
