Hi and welcome to my Personal Page!
It's been a while since I caught up with all my fans, so before I tell you the latest update, let me give you a little background on myself. I was born in Tuscon, Arizona in 1971. I grew up not far from St. Simon's Island, Georgia as an only child. I always loved horses, and my parents were able to finance the sport of hunter show jumping for several years. It was a lot of fun and I won many awards. But it was not too long before I became more interested in boys and my social life.
When I was 16, my parents divorced and I moved to Naples, Florida with my mother. The kids at school teased me so much about my Southern accent that I made a conscious effort to lose it, and now it is totally gone. When I talk to anyone from where I used to live, I can't believe I used to sound like that!
In high school I was on the diving team. I spent my free time at the beach or going boating with friends. When I was 18, a friend encouraged me to enter a local swimwear pagent...and I won! I went on to be first runner-up at the national finals for the Venus Swimwear Model Search. A photographer noticed me and asked if I would be interested in posing for Playboy. Of course, I was very interested! He sent my photos to Playboy photographer Arny Freytag, who showed them to the editors. The next thing I knew I was flying to Los Angeles to do a test shoot.
Almost as soon as I returned home from this, Playboy called to congratulate me on being selected as a Playmate! This was the most exciting time of my life! I flew right back to Los Angeles and stayed at the Playboy Mansion for the duration of my shoot. What a beautiful place! It was a fairy tale come to life! I've always been blessed with a fast metabolism, so I could enjoy all the good food that I wanted. I worked out a lot and just wandered the grounds, taking advantage of the fabulous gift I was given.
The actual photo shoot was a lot of fun. I would spend about an hour having my hair and makeup done, then head into the studio, where they had a set built to look like an old diner. Arny Freytag was the best photographer. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. And my family and friends were proud and supportive. To see unpublished photos from my Playmate pictorial join the Playboy Cyber Club.
For a while, I traveled a lot for Playboy promotions -- the time we spent shooting Playmates in Paradise in Jamaica was the best. And I was still working with Venus Swimwear, along with Playmates Christina Leardini and Cheryl Bachman. I always hoped to get into real fashion modeling, but my height -- 5'5" -- left me about three inches too short. I did, however, do some commercials -- for Ford "Splash" trucks, Toyota Celica and Disney World.
