Lauren was an active duty for the U.S. Navy at the time and served as an intelligence analysis.
Although Lauren is the first concept model for Model Fight, the vision was of an older, exotic Asian model who worked in bars for Jade.
Lauren not only bought her own leopard print bikini from Victoria Secrets for this shoot but she also drove herself and Kelcey, at last minute, to the north-end of Canaveral National Seashore, New Symrna Beach, Florida, because of the beach's white sand and crystal blue water, serving as an exotic jungle landscape for which this shoot serves. The original planned location was at Eddy's Creek off of Playalinda Beach, the south end of Canaveral National Seashore, which would later serve as the setting for most of the later model shoots.
This shoot happened in about 50 degree weather on November 30, 2013.
Part of Lauren's motivation was "jungle fever," a reference to the many jungle films where a white blonde girl was worshiped by an all-black, native tribe in many Hollywood films.
