It would be almost un-American not to like Miss Tila Tequila — the undisputed Queen of Myspace (she has 1.7 million friends on the site!) and a tough business woman who has clambered up the ladder of public consumption to become the living, breathing epitome of the American dream.

From a tough childhood growing up in Houston, TX, Tequila (nee Nguyen) has worked her way up to being one of the most recognizable brands in the Gen X and Gen Next consciousness.

We (Danica and Kirsten) caught up with Tequila last night at the Steppin’ Out magazine party celebrating her cover. She’s a 4’11” whirlwind of smokey-eyed flawless skinned fabulousness.

Check Tila out here. And check out her single and video for “I Love U” on iTunes.

As for the fashion part of this post, check out Tequila’s own brand of California-girl casualwear here.
