It's been a busy month for Cuban-born TV personality Daisy Fuentes. The former MTV veejay recently hosted the Hispanic Heritage Awards at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., served as a presenter at the Latin Grammy Awards in Miami and appeared in a sexy cover spread for Stuff magazine, all while charging along with her own series – the fashion, travel and design series Styleworld, airing on the Women's Entertainment network.

Things won't be slowing down anytime soon. She's also getting ready to marry her live-in boyfriend, sexy British singer Matt Goss. Fuentes, 36, recently talked to PEOPLE about dealing with her fiancÉ's groupies and her fashion past in the malls of New Jersey.

You got engaged on your 36th birthday last Nov. 17. Will the wedding be on your 37th birthday?
Hopefully sometime soon after that. We're just trying to coordinate schedules. It's going to be a small wedding. Nothing really big and fancy, so it will be easy to put together. There's no big rush – we're living together.

You met at Wayne's World star Tia Carrere's divorce party?
Yes, she was having like a divorce/housewarming party.

Were your friends trying to introduce you two?
They were actually trying to arrange a meeting between him and another friend of mine. It was a hookup that just went dreadfully wrong. They did not like each other. We just ended up talking by the end of the night, and we've been together ever since.

Did you have to play any games to get him to propose?
No, I was asked fair and square.

Do you go on tour with Matt?
Yeah, whenever I can. I catch up with him often. So we're back and forth from London to L.A. a lot.

Are his groupies aware that you're his fiancÉe?
Oh, they don't care. I could be the Queen of England. They would not care. I was surprised to still see underwear being thrown up onstage, I have to say.

Underwear or thongs?
Both. Some of them were quite large. Some of them were cute and small. There was also a little bit of flashing going on. This was about a month ago in London.
