Bonnie-Jill Laflin is a sportscaster, [[:Category:Models|model] and actress and former professional cheerleader, who has appeared on Baywatch, Ally McBeal and Deal or No Deal, and is a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Sports
Laflin was hired as a cheerleader at age 18 for the Golden State Warriors, and subsequently worked for the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. She is the NBA's first female scout, and Assistant General Manager for the Lakers-owned D-League team the D-Fenders.
Activism
As a child, Laflin participated in rodeo barrel-racing and more recently modeled for Cowboy Up western apparel. She has, however, become an activist against the treatment of rodeo animals, appearing topless in an ad for PETA's "Buck The Rodeo" campaign. Wearing only shorts, boots and a cowboy hat, Laflin is flanked by the suggestive caption, "Nobody likes an eight-second ride."
