A string of big-time names kept a knocking, as Fernandez was soon employed by Perry Ellis while appearing in American, Italian and German Vogue, in addition to GQ and Elle. The real moneymaker, however, came in 2000, when Sports Illustrated called to ask if she would appear in its swimsuit issue. This coveted magazine would not be disappointed, as she steamed up the pages and then came back a year later to do it all again. It was these two SI appearances that cemented Fernandez's title as supermodel. The world over got a glimpse of her assets, and liked what it saw. Soon, she was the most prominent Latina model, and one of the busiest as well, doing more runway shows and magazine shoots than ever before. Now firmly entrenched amidst top-tier models, Fernandez continues to blow us away. With plans in full swing for another busy year or two doing various fashion shoots, she has also made it clear that a career in television is not unrealistic. Lujan is an avid reader of poetry, including such poets as Allen Ginsberg, Dylan Thomas, Shel Silverstein, Maya Angelou and Pablo Neruda. She ranked #66 (2001) in Maxim's 100 Sexiest Women.
