Josie Conseco

Josie Canseco doesn't want to hear it. "I'm so over people asking, 'Are you related to the baseball player?' My family name has a lot of talk behind it," says Miss June on the set of a photo shoot in Malibu. "I believe one of my biggest achievements to date is maintaining my career and image through all the chaos." Indeed, like many children of famous parents, the 19-year-old model was unwittingly propelled into the spotlight early on. Pre­serving a sense of normalcy and centeredness has thus been Josie's ambition. "The family name automatically brings me into a light I haven't necessarily been ready for," she says, "but I think I've done a pretty good job of keeping a positive reputation." Her forward-thinking attitude was exemplified this spring when she appeared on a family-therapy reality show called The Mother/Daughter Experiment. Reality shows often bring out the worst in their subjects, but Josie was barely affected by the experience. "I didn't learn anything surprising about my­self, because I don't want to be a reality star," she says. "I'm actually a weird, goofy and friendly person. Giving in to drama simply isn't me." At her age, such levelheadedness is impressive, and it makes sense that she aspires to work with other families one day. "I would love to own a dance studio for all ages where I can teach kids," she says. "After all, seeing my own family happy and healthy is one thing that will always make me happy in return."
