Known as THE BARBI TWINS, Shane and Sia Barbi first shot to fame in the mid 90's with two of Playboy's top selling issues. The Barbi Twins also started the multimillion-dollar calendar business with four worldwide #1 selling calendars. This made them household names and generated TV & movie scripts which were written for them, exclusively. After becoming comic book heroines, "The Hollywood Icons", as the media called them, took a sabbatical at the peak of their careers.

The choice of a quiet life enabled them to recover from their life-death struggle with bulimia and finish their degrees in nutrition. They are back to share their experience, strength and hope with their new book, "DYING TO BE HEALTHY". The book has received great reviews and they requested that all proceeds be donated to eating disorder charities. Their most recent interviews discussing their book and their battle with bulimia brought 48 HRS., Entertainment Tonight - (cover stories), and several other news & talk shows, their highest ratings for the season! They also received an overwhelming response to their full-page feature articles in the N.Y. Post (8/11/00), USA Today (9/13/00), and The Advocate (cover, 02/01/01).

As authors and spokeswomen, THE BARBI'S, who will continue touring the country, are already giving lectures at universities, (USC, Cal Stage Long Beach, etc) and high schools, as well as the Learning Annes, nationwide. They have a movie of the week on their life, in development. On May 27th, 2001, they were featured in their own "E!" True Hollywood Story.
