Rod Brewster is the latest face in the Fall '99 campaign, and just as he looks, he's into the '50s. Practically any day of the week, you'll find him driving around, hair slicked back in his '51 Chevy, listening to Doo Wop and Rockabilly music.

Rod was born on March 24, 1978, and raised in beautiful Laguna Niguel, California. Currently, he lives at home where he loves playing big brother to his three younger sisters. In fact, Rod's little sisters helped to launch their brother's modeling career. They wanted to find modeling agents for themselves and at the last minute Rod decided to join them. The rest, he says, was plain old luck.

Before he began modeling, Rod was spending six hours a day riding the waves as a professional surfer. His typical day still includes surfing in the morning and spending the evening out with his friends.

With tattoos decorating everywhere except his face and hands, Rod's latest, on the underside of his upper arm, is a winged heart with a banner reading "Mom" across it. Asked about his choice in names, Rod explains, "she's the only girl who'll never leave me." The rest of his tattoos (five in total) are traditional, the kind young sailors from the '40s wore, and include a pin-up girl on his back that he drew himself. Mindful of his modeling career, none of his tattoos are visible when he's photographed straight on.
Rod Brewster's list of favorites includes the novel, Catcher in the Rye, the band Social Distortion, crooner Frank Sinatra, celebrating St. Patrick's Day, eating all kinds of foods and traveling -- especially to France.

Rod plans to pursue his new-found modeling career, enjoying his good luck as it comes. Someday, he'd like to return to school and become a professional firefighter.
