In this fearless talk, she takes a wry look at the industry that had her looking highly seductive at barely 16-years-old. (Filmed at TEDxMidAtlantic.) Google+: View post on Google+

I sort of met Mari on Sunday when I took her picture at the Chicagoland Tour de Cure – she is an amazing advocate for healthy living and exercising with diabetes. UPDATE: Mari was found alive and is recovering from her experience. Check out the Team Mari Facebook group to follow her progress.
