SE INSIDER

Marty Spence debuted in March/April's College Girls, but with simultaneous appearances in Natural Beauties and Lingerie, which are about to hit newsstands, we thought it was time to get to know a little more about this Wichita State marketing major. Here's what she had to say about her past, present and future.

PSE: What's your story?
MS: I considered myself a typical kid -- with a few exceptions. Even though I liked to play on the playground and have fun I found a passion in reading and writing at a very young age -- so young, in fact, that at one point my teachers were trying to provide me with more of a challenge by having me write book reports while the other children had story time. I was also a young entrepreneur, always making something and trying to sell it -- everything from homemade key chains to dream catchers.

PSE: You were the only child of a single mother. How do you think that impacted you as a person?
MS: I'm extremely blessed to have had such a wonderful mother who was able to be both a mom and a dad to me. She is my best friend and raised me to be proud of who I am and where I came from. She has always been forthright and honest when I had questions and gave me the freedom to choose my own path. I sincerely believe that without her strength and hard work I wouldn't be who I am today. We are a team and I am just as proud of her as she is of me.

PSE: You claim you were a nerdy kid -- just how nerdy were you?
MS: Nerdy is an understatement! Growing up I was a mess -- in sixth grade I had a short, boy haircut and a spiral perm. To make matters worse I was disproportionate and had to wear braces and a plastic mouthpiece that caused me to slur my words. It was because of my security as a person and the memory of being made fun of that I tried not to really become part of one group or another. I had friends from different crowds even though I was associated more with the popular crowd because of my involvement in school -- head cheerleader, student council, prom princess. Because I remember what it was like to be the victim of cruel jokes I always try to treat everyone with respect, even when it isn't returned. It hurts to be made fun of, laughed at and left out.

PSE: You also describe yourself as eccentric. Give us some examples.
MS: Two words -- black sheep. Abiding by social norms makes me nervous. It's easy to conform and accept conceived notions as rules to live by, but you only live once and I intend to look back and have no regrets. I love to be a little different -- whether it's taking my grandmother's vintage clothes and altering them on the sewing machine or wearing a broach in my hair -- I like to do things just a little differently. It's fun to make your own rules.

PSE: Why did you decide to pose for us?
MS: When I came across my first playboy I was in my teens and still coping through my nerdy stage. The women were beautiful and confident and strong. It was then that I knew I wanted to be part of the Playboy family. Throughout the years I lost contact with a lot of my friends from high school, but upon hearing of my posing for Playboy many of them have since contacted me and expressed their support of their "hometown girl!"

PSE: Describe you experience at the Kansas City Casting Call.
MS: I asked my mother and my grandparents if I should try out and after I got their overwhelming support, I signed up. I had no idea what to expect. I was nervous and excited to finally meet the individuals that could help shape my future and give me the opportunity I had dreamed of when I first flipped open the pages of a playboy. The Playboy crew was full of energy, and I had a great time in both the photo/video shoot with the guys as well as with Mikki. It was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to any aspiring Playboy model.

PSE: What do you do for fun?
MS: I love spending time with friends, family and my puppy Chloe. I enjoy trying new things including foods and wines. When I'm not working or studying, which is a rare occasion, I take pleasure in a good nap. I relieve stress through dancing -- the feel of the music and the powerful movements allow me to sweat out the stress and renew my energy. Though I love the permanent ink on the arch of my left foot that reads "dance like no one is watching..." I can't honestly say that enduring that pain was a smart decision! I claim to want to skydive, but much like my last crazy, not-so-painless tattoo idea, jumping out of a plane may be a thought I may need to reconsider.

PSE: What can we expect to see you doing in 10 years?
MS: In 10 years I anticipate owning my own business. I am currently working on the business plan and hope to have my ideas proposed in the next two years. I would also hope to be happily married and have begun a family -- both extremely important goals to me.
