Tamara Witmer, 21 and gorgeous, is trying on hats in Ensenada, Mexico. We’ve been watching her for a couple of years now, since she first returned to her native California from Columbus, Ohio, too young to have a beer in a bar. A photographer sent us pictures of this beauty modeling swimsuits. You may wonder why it took us two years to bring this beauty to your attention. All we can say is that some things are worth waiting for.

For a while there, the soft-spoken, self-effacing young woman thought she might like a career in entertainment. Not so much anymore, she says with a chuckle. Why is that? "Because I don’t have any talent," she says, laughing even harder. "Acting is simply unrealistic for me."
