To answer some common questions about me: I don't have a hobby, but I do love collecting the little ceramic cats and dogs my mother gives me at Christmas. I love all animals -- real or ceramic. In the past I've had as many as 15 rabbits at one time. I loved the different varieties and enjoyed breeding them, though probably not as much as they did! I would sell the babies to friends and the local pet shop, though I hated to part with any of them. I've had lots of pets besides the rabbits -- always a cat or two, especially tabbies with extra toes. Right now I have a black cat named George who is the terror of the street. He thinks he owns it and all the people who live on it. My favorite pet was Girl -- a shepherd/husky mix who had to be put to sleep when she was 14 years old. That was so hard to do; we all cried, but we couldn't let her suffer. What an amazing pet. She was so loving and so protective. Someday, when I have a house and a big yard, I will have another "Girl."

I suppose you might say my artwork is a hobby. I don't make any money at it (not yet, anyway), but I used to tutor young aspiring artists. Naturally, I love drawing animals. My favorite is an oil painting I did of a great white shark. That was my first attempt in oil, and it turned out really well. It's on a large canvas and hangs in my living room. Most of my work is done in pen and ink or pencil, though. You can see some of it here.

I might pose nude again, but only for Playboy. I wouldn't even consider the possibility of doing anything like that outside the Playboy studios. Now, if I am offered something, it has to be on my other merits, whether that is photographic modeling for other companies or acting or whatever.
