Thank you so much for all the comments and for sharing your memories of my Hai Karate ads. I chased that poor man through 10 commercials over several years, in restaurants, department stores, museums, and even to hospital as you can see here! Enjoy! Love, Valerie xx

My agent warned me I must never, EVER be photographed wearing jeans, saying "nobody looks good in denim". I must have been feeling rebellious the day this photo was taken!
Happy Saturday everyone... and wear your jeans with pride!
