You may notice this week's model, Texas hottie Natalie Noelle, bears a resemblance to model/actor Carmen Electra. If you tell her this, she takes it as a high compliment.

"I grew up admiring Carmen. I thought she was the hottest person ever. Everybody tells me I look like her," Natalie said.

Natalie has appeared in various magazines and advertisements, including N magazine, Austin Fit magazine, Studentbody calendars, the Girls of Myspace 2007 calendar, Scene Boston magazine, Paresli Jewelry, Tempe12.com, Metro Park clothing, Kiwi Bikinis, and Berry Dog Swimwear, among others.

With her statuesque build and piercing blue eyes, Natalie is the kind of woman who stops traffic. Ms. Electra, any interest in doing a photo shoot with your look-a-like?...

Savvy: First off... What is it about Texas women? Damn! You're all soooooo fine.

Natalie: (Laughs) We're good ole country girls, sweet as pie. You can't beat a nice girl.

Savvy: Bad girls have their moments. (Laughs) How are you a nice girl?

Natalie: I'm very sweet and outgoing. I'm easy to get along with and never boring to be around.

Savvy: Sounds perfect. How was your Savvy photo shoot?

Natalie: It was great, so much fun. Barry (Smith of Studio 8) was the best guy ever, the best photographer I've worked with. He was so sweet and really cared about each shot. He was awesome and gave us lots of attention. We shot at this sweet-ass mansion in Beverly Hills.

Savvy: Would you go for a rich guy if you got to live in a mansion like that?

Natalie: I want to make my own money. I mean, a guy can have looks and personality and lots of money too, but I'd rather die poor than wake up next to a nasty weirdo every morning just because he's rich. (Laughs)

Savvy: What kind of guy interests you then?

Natalie: Men with great personalities. I like an intelligent conversationalist.

Savvy: Do you need candles and romance to get in the mood?

Natalie: I like candles and nice dinners, but I'm not really a romantic person. I'm not a huggy, kissy person.

Savvy: That's a shame. Is the after-dinner portion of the evening a sitcom or an adventure story?

Natalie: I like adventure. I get bored easily. I try to make things fun and wild as often as possible. I can be sensual, but I can be hard and straight to the point.

Savvy: How can men make our women happier? Take this opportunity to school us.

Natalie: I think men need to be more supportive of their women. I'm the type that doesn't like to be smothered, but I like to be supported in my decisions. I hate being begged for sex as well. I will give it up when I damn well please.

Savvy: (Laughs) I can't blame guys for begging a woman as fine as you.

Natalie: Sex is much better if the guy isn't begging because then the woman feels as if she has to.

Savvy: What's the longest you've gone without it?

Natalie: Months. Not lately, but a few years ago.

Savvy: Months? Wow.

Natalie: I think men have stronger sex drives than women, by far. I think they were born that way.

Savvy: So how does a girl keep her man from straying if he wants it all the time and he can't beg?

Natalie: Personally, I try to stay interesting and keep busy, have my own things going like friends, family and working out. I need to go out and travel. I don't think it is ever a good idea to have your life revolve around anyone else's.

Savvy: So you've been a model for about six years?

Natalie: Off and on, yes.

Savvy: How did you get started?

Natalie: I was walking through a mall when I was 17 and got approached by a modeling scout. I went to modeling school in Houston and worked with a small agency there for about a year, then I went independent, working off and on when I felt like it. It wasn't until about a year ago that I started getting very serious about it. My career took leaps because people started getting very interested in working with me, and I started shooting better and better. Photographer Steve Riley shot me, and I became an overnight full-time model. I started getting e-mails like crazy.

Savvy: How much of you is actually you?

Natalie: I have implants, nothing else. I was teased about my big lips as a child but now they are great.

Savvy: Have you always been beautiful?

Natalie: I'm a work in progress. I think some people have always called me pretty, but I've tweaked things.

Savvy: How do you pull off sexy in a photograph?

Natalie: I consider myself sexy anyway, but I just imagine myself in a sexual setting. I love listening to music during photo shoots. Music really does the trick for me. I like chill out music, chill out session CDs to be exact. It really helps when the photographer gives suggestions too.

Savvy: What's the sexiest photo shoot you've ever done?

Natalie: This shoot for Savvy. It was a great sexy experience all around. Hot outfits, great accessories, amazing location, a terrific photographer... It was sexy and hot.

Savvy: What do you hope comes about from this appearance in Savvy?

Natalie: Lots of good publicity, hopefully. I want to get seen by more people and for people to know my name. I feel like being in Savvy is going to change everything for me. I can feel it. The images are very high quality for an online magazine.

Savvy: Well, thank you.

Natalie: I don't even want to be on some other websites because the quality of their pictures suck. There's nothing worse than someone using pictures you hate.

Savvy: What's your big picture plan? What is Savvy your stepping stone toward doing?

Natalie: My ultimate goal is to sign with a really big agency and do stuff for Frederick's of Hollywood or Victoria's Secret. I'd also love to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

Savvy: You can certainly do sexy. Are you much of a lingerie owner in real life or is it just stuff you put on for shoots?

Natalie: I own tons of lingerie. I have drawers full of it. I bartend on occasion and wear a bustier to work. I love wearing beautiful lingerie to bed. I feel about lingerie the way most women feel about shoes.

Savvy: Which is?

Natalie: It gives them a boost of energy... It makes you want to go out and have sex or whatever.

Savvy: Since you put it like that, I'll never complain about my lady wanting another purse or pair of shoes again. (Laughs) Would you ever pose nude?

Natalie: Only as a Playboy Playmate. I'd never pose nude for anything else. I don't want to become known as a nude model. If I were giving advice to a model just starting out, it would be to not pose nude or do anything crazy they'd regret for a few bucks - or get into porn or stripping.

Savvy: So you have no regrets?

Natalie: Everyone has a few regrets. I regret not going full force with the modeling earlier, but I look much better at 24 than I did when I was 18 years old. Plus, I know what I want. I'm much more business-minded and responsible now.

Savvy: A flaky, immature model is no good to anyone. Any plans to relocate to L.A. to take on show biz directly?

Natalie: I don't want to move to LA. It isn't very pretty like I always dreamed it would be. My family is all here in Texas, and I plan on staying because I'm a family girl. If people are paying to fly me somewhere every week, why move?

Savvy: What would you be doing now if you weren't modeling?

Natalie: Likely selling real estate.

Savvy: I couldn't resist anything you tried to sell me, doll.
