Currently I volunteer with the Humane Society and have seven stray cats, two stray dogs, and two glass-enclosed aviaries with Lady Gouldian finches. At the "Meet the Playmates" party held after the LA Glamourcon two years ago, I suggested that the Playmates donate the proceeds to the ASPCA. Not only did we come up with a sizable donation, but Hef matched it through the Playboy Foundation. The Playmates' generosity helped to save the lives of many dogs and cats.

I often work trade shows and special events, and when the Olympics came to Atlanta in 1996 I worked as the personal assistant to the CEO of one of England's largest tour operators, Sportsworld International. There is just nothing in the world that can compare to the excitement of the International Olympic Games! I escorted dignitaries from several foreign Olympic committees, making sure their stay was pleasant. I also acted as a liaison to other Sportsworld offices around the world, including the home base in England and offices in South Africa and Australia.

I was responsible for hiring approximately 30 young women to be tour hostesses for our groups. Once things got going, we worked for four and a half months straight, with no time off. Our visitors expected the best and we wanted to give it to them. Although it would be pretty impossible logistically for me to work the Sydney Games, I would be thrilled to become involved with another Olympics. It's so exciting and challenging! I'm a huge Olympic pin collector, so if anyone wants to trade autographs for pins, let me know!

And since December 1999, I'm also a movie reviewer for Adult Video News magazine. It's such a fun job. All I do is watch three or four videos each month -- some are from Playboy, others are just soft-core fun -- and write up a review. I've recently been added to the masthead of the magazine as a contributing editor. Quite a different kind of job, but I really enjoy it. I hope to do more for them in the future, as well as for my favorite publication, Playboy magazine. Writing articles, photographing models, whatever each would want me to do, I'm there. I love to stay busy with project-oriented work, and each magazine offers many opportunities. If only they will ask!

I also help plan the Glamourcon shows around the country and attend as many as possible. My job is to help coordinate the press for the shows. I can't give away any secrets here, but look for shows in more cities and new slants to the conventions. They will be more fun than ever!

Well, that's about it from me. I have stayed very happy and busy since my first days with Playboy, and thankfully, my days with Playboy are far from over. Don't forget to read my interviews with Playmates and other Playboy models, and don't forget to stop by www.diannechandler.com too. I love to write, and being so outgoing, I need to stay in touch with all these fun girls!

So come by and see me at the next Glamourcon! I love to meet all my fans, so don't be shy!

Much love,
Dianne Chandler, Miss September 1966
