Biography
Visser was first noticed as a cheerleader for the Adelaide 36ers, but rose to fame in 1993, when at 18 she was crowned Miss Calendar Girl Australia, after receiving the highest number of votes by the people who had bought the calendars.[1][2][3]
Later in 1993, Visser won the Miss Calendar Girl International competition held in Atlantic City, USA where one of the presiding judges was billionaire businessman and celebrity Donald Trump.[4]
In 1994, a 19-year-old Visser was named by Australian men's magazine Ralph as Australia's sexiest woman. Shortly afterwards, she followed that title with a fourth placing in the world only beaten by megastars such as Denise Richards and Jennifer Lopez in Ralph's 101 sexiest women on the planet.[5]

On 27 September 1997, she won the Venus Swimwear International Model Search held in Florida, USA.[10]
