What is the point of this being on Hacker News? In all likelihood, she just wants to interact with the community as a normal person and not have a bunch of undue attention from random other sources be put on her profile.

If she doesn't want to be recognized for her work as a model, I'd respect that, but she lists it in her SO profile, so it's probably not a big deal. I'd love to see more examples like her, sending the message to young women that you can be a coder and still be feminine. (...This is a touchy subject, especially on HN, so if the thread gets busy, I hope any replies won't immediately assume I'm somehow sexist or an idiot.)
