Tila is 3/4 Vietnamese and 1/4 French and was born October 24, 1981 in Singapore. You can see the hint of French in her blood by the freckles on her face. Tila’s rise to fame started at the young age of 18, when she was spotted at a L.A. mall by Playboy scouts. There’s no doubt that they noticed her implants, that help shape her petite figure. She took the title of “Cyber Girl of the Week” on April 22nd, 2002 and quickly moved up to “Playboy’s Asian Cyber Girl of the Month.”

Since more than half the male population had seen her nude online already, it was a no brainer that she became an instant hit at import car shows such as Hot Import Nights, where young males show up more for the buffet of scantily-clad import models, than tricked out cars.

So where did the name Tila Tequila come from? Tila explains in the April 2006 issue of Stuff Magazine, where she was featured on the cover, that her nickname “Tila Tequila” was coined by her friends who used to offer her tequila. Apparently, she couldn’t drink any because of her allergic reaction to alcohol. So much for trying to get her drunk eh?

Tila isn’t standing idle with all the fame MySpace has brought her. She’s working on her punk rock music career after being featured on the MySpace Records Vol. 1 CD alongside such acts as AFI, The All-American Rejects, Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, and Rivers Cuomo.

I guess having friends really does help you succeed, even if they are only online!
