Actress/model Katrina Bowden is finaly old enough to vote... among other things. When it comes time to puck the sexiest star of 30 Rock, she's our choice.

As of last September, actress/model Katrina Bowden is officially (if barely) legal, which means that men everywhere are finally relieved of their legal responsibility not to holler. After all, you wouldn't know that the Wyckoff, N.J., native is 18 by looking at her. Or by seeing her on NBC's 30 Rock, where her character, scantily clad secretary Cerie, regularly turns male coworkers into babbling idiots. We can't blame them; it was a challenge to maintain our professionalism (and not stutter) while we spoke to her about Daisy Dukes, sexual harassment, and The Golden Girls.

Have you ever objected to wearing a skimpy costume?

Katrina Bowden: I'm pretty game  for whatever. [Giggles.] I feel very comfortable in my own skin. I'm a very confident person.

Do you wear tight, see-through outfits off the set?

Katrina Bowden: [Laughs.] No, I don't. Of course, I dress young, I dress hip. I like to look good, but I don't go out on the street wearing barely-there shorts and a little tube top.

That's a shame. So do you get ogled on set the way your character does?

Katrina Bowden: I guess a little bit. You get looks, but everyone is really respectful.

I suppose sexual harassment would be doubly inappropriate with you being only 18.

Katrina Bowden: It would be doubly bad! I think people know to stay away [from it], even if they wanted to say something.

Does the cast give you crap because you're so much younger than everyone?

Katrina Bowden: One time Jack McBrayer was showing us the set for his character's apartment and they had some actual pictures from his childhood up. I noticed this picture of three older women and was like, "Are these your aunts?" Everybody started cracking up. I was like, "Why is that funny?" They were like, "Those are The Golden Girls." [Laughs.]

Since uttering the line "I only date guys who drink Snapple," have guys been approaching you with caseloads of it?

Katrina Bowden: No, I haven't had any offers, but you never know. I'd find it funny. It'd make me laugh.

Do you actually drink Snapple?

Katrina Bowden: I do. I love it.

Say we were kicking game, what flavor should we bring you?

Katrina Bowden: I like Diet Raspberry or Peach Iced Tea. [Giggles.]

For the record, we feel you are made from the best stuff on earth.
