Born on November
17th, this fiery Scorpio is addicted to TV: both in front of
the camera and on the couch. Daisy is a big fan of cheesy 80's
TV shows: Fantasy Island and Love Boat keep her glued to the
tube. But more than anything, Daisy loves the beach. Making
Miami her second home, Daisy says the sun and her family keeps
the spicy city her number one destination.
With a passion for
compassion, Daisy gives her time and energy to numerous charities,
most notably St. Jude Children's Hospital in New York.
