I wanted to be Niki Taylor sooooo bad when I was in junior high. She was my absolute favorite Cover Girl model. I remember seeing all her ads in Seventeen magazine. I also remember when her sister, Krissy, died. It was so so sad. She was only 17...

Niki was born in Florida in 1975. She is 5' 11" - woah tall! She grew up wanting to model and joined a modeling agency at age 13. She has done over 400 magazine covers worldwide. Interesting little fact - in May 1996, she did six covers (Allure, Vogue, ELLE, Marie Claire, Self, and Shape) that became known as the "Niki Six." In 1992, Niki was the first spokesmodel under 18 to sign a contract with Cover Girl.

In 2001, Niki got in a car accident that caused severely injured her. She suffered from a collapsed lung, serious liver damage, and was unconscious for six weeks. Also in 2001, she went to rehab for a Vicodin addiction. Poor Niki! She's had some really big obstacles to overcome in her life.

She currently lives in Tennessee and owns a clothing store called Abbie and Jesse's.

The last photograph is of her sister, Krissy.
