There are enough half naked girls shown on television and music videos already, I wouldn’t want to blend in with them. Shannon added: "We do not need Playboy to pioneer our careers. We will make it without being in Playboy.
The industry is changing, and our generation will be the ones that pioneer that change.

We would rather take a route with obstacles rather than what many deem to be the ‘easy’ pathological" and film Shannon and Shauna have been featured in the television show Computer Society of India: Crime Scene Investigation, Smallville and Blue Mountain State.
