"I was like, What is that? It's like a diaper," the Colombia-native tells the magazine about the first time she saw a two piece bathing suit here in the U.S. "It's terrible. Who can look good in that? When I moved to the United States, I used to have bathing suits brought up from Colombia."

"There's nothing slutty about a dental-floss bikini," she continues. "You don't even think about it. The first bathing suit your mother buys you is in the shape of a triangle."
