STAR tribute to
Ken Wahl
(Shane Barbi's
husband) |
They are vegans that wrote
their 2nd book about being Eco friendly by being a raw vegan,
The Eco Anti-Diet Book. (Amazon.com).
History: Shane and Sia were born in San Diego, California.
After their parents divorce, Shane and Sia legally took on their mother's
maiden name of Barbi. Shane and Sia moved around a lot and mostly lived
separately (one with their mother while the other was with their father).
They have lived in several states including Texas, Arizona, Florida, Oregon,
New Mexico, and California.
Hopes and Dreams: When they were very young they wanted to be
Catholic nuns because they were in awe of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron
of animals and ecology. Later their dreams leaned towards more realistic
goals and their love of animals turned their interests into becoming
veterinarians. Their modeling career, which was part of their lives early
on, skyrocketed them to success and fame. Their love of sports led them into
studying health and fitness and to educate others on health and eating
disorders. They always donated their proceeds and volunteered their time to
their causes that they believe in.
Education: Initially they studied animal husbandry. Later they
received major degrees in nutrition, with minors in biochemistry and
kinesiology.
Interests: Shane and Sia love baseball (both playing and
watching professional baseball), and most sports in general. Their favorite
exercises are to run on the beach, hike the hills or roller blade with their
foster dogs. And, of course, because of their love of animals they volunteer
at animal shelters and help in charitable animal causes.
Career: Modeling separately since the age of 7 they have
appeared in such magazines as "Seventeen", "Teen Magazine", "Mademoiselle"
and many catalogs including the "Sears" catalog. Landmark launched
four top selling worldwide Calendars in 1991-1994. Landmark also
placed a billboard of the twins on Sunset Blvd in 1990 to introduce them,
which caused overwhelming worldwide press. Hugh Hefner caught sight of
the billboard and history was made with their two record-breaking Playboy
cover issues. They have had TV and movie scripts written exclusively
for them and even their own comic book. They have been on numerous
media interviews and television specials including "48 Hours' "Slim Chance",
Entertainment Tonight, and “E!" True Hollywood Story,
ExtraTV.com, Inside Edition, etc. Their interviews also included
full-page feature articles as shown in the N.Y. Post and USA Today.
Though they continue to turn work down, this was all worth it for them
because this gave them a podium to continue their success with animals.
They have finished and helped produce two animal rights movies and a
television special on animal rescue.
