After that I didn't talk to Playboy for almost two years. I had just assumed that my time working with them had expired, but in August 2001 a friend of mine invited me to go to another Playboy party at a local Chicago club. Kevin was there, and so was the magazine's photography director, Gary Cole. They asked me why I hadn't been calling them anymore, and I was like, I thought you guys weren't calling me! Apparently they didn't have my phone number anymore and it was all just a big miscommunication. Two days later they asked me to come in to take some more test shots. It all happened so fast, and it was even more of a surprise when Kevin called me a few weeks later and told me that they wanted to make me the January Playmate. Needless to say, I'm really glad I went to that party that night.
