Ridings will be featured in two shows coming up. First, the 24-year-old can be seen modeling Wednesday night on Bravo for the show launch My Line. And then in January, she'll star in Heidi Klum's Project Runway and Models of the Runway. Getting that job, she says, is a huge deal because more than 3,000 people tried out.
"I feel so blessed coming from a small town, and I've been doing this for 11 years. I've lived in Miami, New York, Milan, New Zealand all by myself. So to be at the point where I'm finally getting recognition, meeting some of my goals I set for myself when I was 14, I feel just so blessed," says Ridings.
Ridings says a camera crew came to Roscoe to get video of her in her hometown, then even recorded her reaction when they called saying she got the job. She graduated from Hononegah High School in 2003.
