Staying at the Mansion is awesome! It's like being at a hotel but with all your friends. We Playmates eat, tan, play and do everything we want to do, or nothing at all! I love going into the pantry and just hanging out with the staff. They are probably the nicest group of guys that I know. I feel like I have gained a lot of big brothers. There is always someone there to talk to or just listen to us at the end of the day. I always feel very safe there, and I know, as many of the girls do, that if we ever need anything, there is always someone at the Mansion who can be there for us. And my favorite thing to do at the Mansion? Go in the back and hang out with Terri the gorilla and the squirrel monkeys. We can go into their enclosure and feed them. They love M&M's! I really don't have any favorite foods from the Mansion. I suppose that, being from the Deep South, I have very picky taste buds. So everything that I eat in Los Angeles all tastes the same. I like my food hot -- true Cajun food! I just eat a lot of strawberries and bananas when I stay at the Mansion.

So far, I have met some very cool Playmates at the Mansion. My first real friend encounter was with Julia Schultz. She is incredible! Her energy and spunk were an instant hit with me, and she's been nothing but wonderful since the beginning. We always get to stay together at the Mansion, and I am very happy that I can call her my friend. She is definitely one of a kind.
