Raw Magazine—Issue October 2003 4 of 4 (Lita Graces the Cover w/ Mason)
Back In Black Gams. Stems. Trotters. Shanks. Legs. Whatever you want to call 'em, Stacy's got 'em. They're probably the first thing one notices about her. Of course, Stacy's a whole lot more than just a great pair of legs, and we'd be doing her a great disservice if that was all we focused on. Which is why RAW Magazine sat down with Stacy Keibler to learn not just about the Diva, but the person behind the image. Stacy opened up to us about growing up, guys, dating and plenty more. We hope you enjoy reading this interview, and if you get the chance, check out the great pictures, too. Raw Magazine: How old were you when boys started dropping by the house? How did you handle that? Stacy: As far as I can remember, I was in middle school. Went to a very small, private, co-ed school up through middle school. Then I went to an all-girls Catholic high school, wch was a big change. But since the middle school was so small, we were all close and all friends. I guess in fifth or sixth grade, the boys started coming by, and I started getting interested. An all-girls Catholic high school? With the uniform and the little plaid skirts and everything? Yeah, the whole thing. We had the summer uniform and the winter uniform, and a couple variations on those. I can't imagine what the nuns I had as teachers are thinking of me today. Guys are going to read this and start picturing you in one of those little skirts with the knee-high socks. That's not a bad thought, you know. That's exactly what I looked like. There was a white blouse, and in the winter we had a plaid, wool skirt. And then in the summer we had a cotton skirt. Of course, we rolled up the skirts and wore boxers underneath them. We'd wear polo shirts when it got warmer. Why am I guessing that this is about the time guys started coming by the house a lot more frequently, when you were in school in those outfits? Yeah, thats was the first time I started going to the mixers--the dances between the high schools. But I always had a boyfriend. The summer before my sophomore year, I started dating this guy, and he was my boyfriend for about six years. So, we went to all the dances together. I really never dated a lot, because I always had a boyfriend. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Someone who looks like you is pretty much born with a boyfriend. (Laughs)It does seem like I've always had one, but I don't think it has anything to do with how I look. I just think I'm happiest when I have a boyfriend. We're probably bumming out the guys reading this now, so let's talk about your legs. What's the worst legs-related line a guy has ever tired to feed you? I had a guy come up to me once and ask if he could help shave my legs. A total stranger in a bar. He just walked up to me and said, "Hey, baby, if you ever need any help shaving those things..." I just looked at him and said "Uh, I think I can handle it myself." H even gave me his number. Needless to say, I threw it out right away.
Have you ever let a guy shave your legs? What's the biggest misconception guys have had about you? I would have to say that a lot guys in general--I don't know why--think I'm going to be something different from what I really am. I really enjoy it when I get to know someone and they say, "Wow, you're not at all what I expected," or "You're so down to earth." I don't know what they're thinking beforehand. I really just like to have fun, no matter what I'mdoing or where I am. I think maybe a lot of guys instantly assume a beautiful woman isn't going to give them the time of day. Do you find a lot of average guys are intimidated by your looks? I would say maybe, because I really don't get approached much when I'm at a bar with friends. I almost never get hit on. I don't know if they're intimidated or what. Maybe it's because I'm always with guys in one shape or another, but they're usually my friends' boyfriends. All my friends have boyfriends and I end up hanging out with a lot of couples. Maybe that's it. What's the surest way to score brownie points with you on a date? Make me laugh. That's definitely the surest way to get brownie points from me. The one characteristic I value most in a boyfriend is someone who can make me laugh and who will have fun with me. If I go out on a blind date and it was the most fun, spontaneous date and he made me laugh, he'd score big with me. Conversely, what's the surest way to screw up a date with you? Talk about wrestling. That's the surest way to turn me off on a date. Asking me all about the wrestlers or wrestling. A little bit is fine, but to go out on a date and talk all about wrestling drives me crazy. That's when I'd call my girlfriends and say, "Can you come pick me up?" That even more than if a guy, say, picked his nose at the table? Honestly, if a guy picked his nose in front of me, I'm the type of person who'd just say, "I can't believe you just did that!" Like I said, I've always been considered one of the guys. Since high school, it's been me and the guys, so things like picking your nose don't gross me out that much. Before I got into sports-entertainment for a living, I watched it with my boyfriend and his friends all the time. And his friends would have parties for the pay-per-views, and none of their girlfriends would go. I loved it. We'd drink beer, watch the pay-per-views, and have fun. I've always been like that, though. Even now--I still like to do guy things. I like to go to sporting events. I love doing things like that. Of course, I'm alos a girly-girl, too. But I get along very well with guys. That had to lead to one of those situations where you're friends with a guy, and he tries to morph it into the whole "friends with benefits" thing. Do you believe in that, or is that just a good way to screw up a friendship? I think it just varies from person to person. If you're good friends with someone and it leads to something more, it can be the best thing ever, to be in love with your best friend. If it goes sour, it depends on the maturity level of the person, whether you can be friends again or not. Have you ever seen a sign in the crowd of heard someone yell something that's made you blush? I always hear things like, "Stacy, you're hot!" or "I love you Stacy!" I don't blush, but it's very nice to hear. I can hear that five times a night, and I always want to turn around and yell back, "Thank you!" Because it's always nice to know that. I'm never like, "Oh, I've heard that before." It's always a nice feeling. Are you one of those people who has rules for dating? No, never. I don't have any rules, really. I try to go with the flow, live life and see what happens. I mean, of course there are things that I want out of a relationship, but I don't consider that rules. If I want this or that out of a relationship, I'll say, "Okay, let's talk about this. Why isn't this happening?" I don't say, "Okay, this guy screwed this one thing up, so he's out." I'm not like that. Since high school, I've had four long-term boyfriends consecuteively, so I've hardly dated. I'm definitely not a fling type of girl. If that's somebody's thing, then look elsewhere, because I'm not that type of girl. What are the signals you give off if you're interested in a guy? I'm very happy and outgoing. I think that might suggest that I'm flirting sometimes, but I'm not. It's just my personality. I have to control that sometimes, because I don't want guys to think I'm leading them on. If I was around a guy I started to have feelings for, I'd go out of my way to make him feel like he's special. I love surprises, so I try to surprise my boyfriend as much as possible, whether it's a card, a note or something like that, because that shows I care. and if you care about me, let me know. That's something guys usually aren't great at. I think that the sexiest thing a guy can do is act and speak his true feelings. No matter how girly or cheesy it may feel to him, it really means a lot to a girl. To see the sensitive side of a guy is such a turn-on. I love to see a guy go out of his way for his girl to make something special or show her how much he cares. One piece of advice: don't be a hardass. Do you induce a lot of catty behavior or attitude from women, based on your looks? Not really. I know one thing--with any kind of relationship I've ever been in, and I know a lot of girls aren't like this--when I'm with a guy I find it interesting to know about their past relationships and ex-girlfriends. I want to know everything, because it all happened before me. It's all before they knew me, so stories about exes or other girls don't bother me, because I wasn't around. I don't know, but that's just something I can deal with, and I think it makes me closer with them because we can talk about anything. You're kidding! A lot of guys are very reticent to give that up. You don't want to let the girls behind the curtain. They are. But I have this friend who's engaged now, and he and his girl would go out and run into this girl that he had dated four years before they were together and the couple get into a fight because he said "hi" to his ex. And the guy would say, "I haven't dated her in years." I mean, that's ridiculous. It's such a waste of energy to worry about all the stuff that happened before you. If that guy's choice is to be with you, then who cares what he did before you? And that's never risen up to bite you in the behind? You've never had a guy say, "Well, there was the time I was dating these triplet Playmates, and there were the circus midgets..." No, I'd laugh about that. I value having friendship in a relationship, not just the boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I want to be with someone who is my best friend and who I know everything about. I ask guys, "Wouldn't you rather be with someone with whom you don't have to hide anything?" What's your biggest vice? I don't really bite my fingernails, but I kind of chew on them. They're always inmy mouth. That is my worst habit. I have an oral fixation. I either have to be eating, talking, chewing gum or chesing on my fingers. We should leave the next few parachgraphs blacnk, because guys are going to read "oral fixation" and go nuts. (Laughs) But it's true! I definitely have an oral fixation. Something must have happened to me in that stage of childhood. Adult movies: a turn-on, hilariously funny or just plain gross? It depends on what they are. I've definitely sat there and laughed at some of them. They're so outrageously ridiculous that they're comedy. But I'm sure if you were with the right person and were trying to laugh at it, it would spark some kind of sexual tension. I think for all three categories you've mentioned, someof them go with that. They can be outrageously gross; they can be really funny--it depends on the production. They can be very nice. I guess it's all personal preference. What's the worst putdown line you've ever hit a guy with? If he was being an ass? I'd say, "Why are you being such an ass?" I'm a very blunt person. I cut right to the chase. If someone is being rude to me, I'll say, "Don't be such a jerk." I don't use lines there. If your house caught fire in the middle of the night, and you had to flee without grabbing anything, when the firemen came and saw you on the sidewalk, what would you be wearing? Maybe nothing. If I was wearing nothing, though, I'd grab a towel, a cover or something. I love sleeping in little boy shorts and shirts or lingerie. Anything comfy. But there is that "nothing" chance, so we won't print your address in case arsonists get any bright ideas. Yeah, there is that chance I'll be wearing nothing. But I would definitely grab something on the way out if that were the case. |
