Flashing the
flesh: Australian model Sahara Ray left very little to the imagination
on Thursday as she stripped down during a Hawaii trip with singer Justin
Bieber
'It’s more chilled and relaxed and even on shoots, it’s more about quality than quantity.'
The
admissions, from an interview done with the newspaper last year, were
published for the first time on Monday after the 23-year-old was spotted
skinny dipping with the pop star, sending the internet into meltdown.
The
pair were frolicking in what is believed to be a $10,000-a-week villa in
Hawaii, after appearing on each other's Instagram accounts several
times.
The blonde beauty left very little to the imagination on Thursday as she and her companion stripped down to swim by a waterfall.

She was seen topless on the day, wearing just a pair of skimpy white bikini bottoms for the outing.
With her bare assets on show for all to see, she accessorised with just a small shell necklace.
And
with her honey-hued locks loose and tousled, she also donned a
colourful flower crown, while embracing Hawaiian culture by wearing a
floral lei.
Looking
as though she had stepped straight off a photo shoot, the stunning
model worked her angles as she reclined on a rock in the middle of the
lake before stretching out to show off her enviably peachy posterior.

Singer Justin, 22, was also nearby, enjoying the great outdoors and at one point, he opted to completely forgo clothes.
As
the daughter of Australian surfing legend Tony Ray, Sahara had a
profile long before she began rubbing shoulders with international pop
stars.
The social butterfly was born in the Australian coastal town of Torquay, but was raised in Santa Cruz, California.

Like
her famous father, Sahara was an avid surfer, but she put down the
board at age 16 to pursue a career in modelling and fashion.
The
blonde beauty then moved to the bright lights of Los Angeles, where she
enrolled in The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
With
her beach blonde hair and sun-kissed curves, it didn't take long for
Sahara to forge a successful career as a swimsuit model.

Sahara's
media profile sky-rocketed last year after she was rumoured to be
dating singer Cody Simpson, dubbed 'Australia's Justin Bieber.'
While the pair never publicly confirmed their romance, Sahara did pop up several times on Cody's Snapchat account.
She was later linked to Australian model Jordan Barrett, although it's unclear if the pair were just friends or something more.
After briefly fading away from the limelight, Sahara became a hot topic this week after being spotted in Hawaii with Justin.
