Be sure to stay tuned, there's more to come with Playboy and Me in the new year!
Vanessa says she "did a very silly happy dance" when she learned of her Cyber Girl status. "I've always been the class clown even if it has made me look funny," says Vanessa. "I like putting a smile of my friends' faces and acting like a total goofball." She's studying business and hopes to work for a public relations company that will allow her to trek around the world. "My favorite thing to do is travel. I can't imagine staying put in any one place for too long. I'm a free spirit!"
The next time you find yourself pumping your fist to some innovative beats at a club, don't be surprised if they come courtesy of Amanda, who learned the art of mixing at Scratch Academy in New York City. "I want to win an award as a DJ and as a producer," she says, "but mainly I want to create an empire and a way of life that encourages happiness." And how does Amanda stay focused and content when she's not blasting the bass? "I'm a firm believer in balance, and making time for fitness, health and relaxation. I look forward to working out daily because it helps me feel and be my best."
Hi Albs!As a Playmate in 1978 I decided to apply to be a Playmate and I was fortunate Playboy and Hugh Hefner thought of me as Playmate material.
Just a note, a Playmate is not just a "perfect body" "bimbo". To be a Playmate you are interviewed along with being photographed. A Playmate is considered a powerful representative of Playboy and we represent the company in the way we look, the way we speak, and the way we conduct ourselves. We are sent out on "autograph" promotions and we are interviewed on the radio, the TV, and in the newspapers.
There is a hugh responsibility that goes along with being a Playmate. We don't own our photos after they are taken and they can be reproduced and used for Playboy's purposes as long a Playboy, Inc. exists but I am always thrilled when Playboy (Hugh Hefner) republishes my photos.
I have never had second thoughts about being a Playmate and I never will. Over 30 years gone and I still have "fans" and autograph sales, a friendship with Playboy and Hugh Hefner. The status of Playmate is a great ego boost, yes, but also, Hugh M. Hefner is one of the kindest, most gentle men I have ever met. He welcomes me; remembers me; and gives me an audience when ever I ask.
Respectfully Submitted,
Christina Smith
Miss March 1978
P.S. I really can't give voice to current day Playmates. I don't know any.
"I hike every day I can—it's the best workout," Jamie says. When she's not blazing trails with her adventurous exercise routine, Jamie adopts a less strenuous approach to her free time. "My favorite thing to do is see movies. I also really enjoy being at home so I spend a lot of my spare time relaxing there." And she's definitely taking full advantage of the single life. "It's great never being questioned about where I am or who I'm with!"
Forget about the Seahawks. The real leaders in the west are Chelsie and her Lingerie Football League team, Seattle Mist. "I play football in my panties," she says. "It's a full-tackle ladies league and all of us who participate nationwide take it seriously. Most of us were involved in college athletics. I ran cross country and track in Oregon." Chelsie still runs daily to the benefit of her team and the Cyber Club. "I bring my running shoes wherever I go. It's great exercise that makes your whole body tight!" She's also a dedicated vegetarian with a sweet tooth. "I eat healthy, but I usually have chocolate every day. I can't live without candy!"
Hey! That is the question of all questions! Playboy rocks that's why! haha...actually I loved it so much! When you kind of get into it, it becomes your family, and the people are all close. It's not just T and A, It's such a prestigious company...It's very classy, and if i can be apart of something that great, i want to be!
That answer your question?
Cheers hun!

When Logann isn't modeling or reading the latest best seller, she enjoys discovering new restaurants. In fact, she wouldn't mind becoming a professional food critic. "I love food and I know good food," she says. While many of her dates begin with dinner at a new eatery, Logann keeps the sensual mood going after dessert. "Sharing a meal with a guy who knows what he wants in life, dancing to romantic music and talking late into the night, that's an ideal evening."
"Simple is sexy," says Kristen. Case in point, she attracts attention just by being herself. "I like to flirt, I'm pretty social and fun. It's hard not to notice me!" Kristen describes herself as an unconventional rocker chick with an affinity for hard-working men who play hard, too. She's considering a career in sex therapy and gives this valuable advice: "Men should be adventurous, open and honest and pay attention to details. Sometimes, you gotta get dirty."
"I often go to the local shooting range to brush up on my aim," Jennifer says. One thing's for sure—she's definitely not gun-shy about being as scantily clad as possible when she goes out on the town. "I love sexy little dresses and wearing no panties." And just when you think she couldn't get any hotter, she tells us more. "Having sex in public is thrilling!" Now that's what we call a parting shot!
A beach babe with an optitude for business. Nadia plans on establishing a successful career as an entrepreneur. "You'll see me in Forbes someday," she predicts. For now, when she's not modeling or concentrating on her sales job, she relaxes by soaking up plenty of sun. "I also love to dance, so you can usually catch me out at a club shaking my groove thing." And whether she's taking a dip in the ocean, swimming laps in the pool or hopping in the shower, Nadia simply loves being all wet. "It's so sexy when my skin glistens from the water," she says. Truer words have never been spoken!
"I have a very old-fashioned side to me that wants to be the perfect housewife," Casey says. But there's another side to hear that likes to spice things up in a modern way. "So many things can make me feel sexy," Casey explains. "A killer outfit, expensive shoes, getting my makeup done, a really good pedicure...I could go on forever!" Factor in the flexibility that comes from years of competitive gymnastics and cheerleading, and what man wouldn't dream of settling down with her?
Hey Albs!
Why did I pose for Playboy? I didn't dream of doing it at all, I just happened to stumble upon the opportunity.
But - I decided to take them up on the offer to pose because not only do I love to be naked, but I think the female body is a piece of art! I don't care if men use this pictures for other ways than what I would want them to, because I can't control that ya know? But I pose for playboy because I think the photos are artistic, and there is nothing wrong with bearing it all. The human body is beautiful! Women go topless in other cultures for their whole entire lives and it's not viewed as pornography or tasteless. It's their way of life. For me, being nude is a way of life. I sleep naked, I hang out in my room naked, I do so many things in the buff! If I could be naked all day every day for the rest of my life I definitely would!
I think some women choose to pose because they have low self-esteem or they want to feel pretty and sexy to men and use it to flaunt that, but if that is their reason, they are entitled to that.
Playboy is a brand that exposes women in tasteful ways that shows off their beautiful features in the best way possible! Why not appreciate what is beautiful? Did people scrutinize Madonna of the Rocks or Venus for being naked in paintings? Why is sculpture or live nude paintings any different than a picture with a beautiful background? Yes, Playboy has become a little more explicit over the years, but it is still beautiful pictures of the most beautiful women in the world!
"October is going to be an amazing month," Kayleigh says. She graced the cover of Playboy's October promotional issue and is excited about her invite to the Mansion's Halloween party where she'll meet Hugh Hefner. "Being a Cyber Girl is the icing on the cake!" Those sweet on Kayleigh should know she's into blue eyes and confidence on an older guy. And if you're lucky, she'll touch you. "If I'm interested in someone. I'll put my hand on their arm or leg," she says. "I like to be myself around that special someone and know that I'll be able to have fun with him, no matter what we're doing."
I chose to pose for PB because I love who I am on the inside, and Im very comfortable with my body and nudity. Life is risky even when you think you're doing everything right, some times you still fail, so I would rather fail at doing something I want to do for me than to succeed at what majority of society thinks is acceptable. I have always wanted to pose for PB. I think to grace the pages along with all the other gorgeous models is a honor. I like that you asked why I chose to pose. There are those who make assumptions about why girls pose nude and majority is way off base and they base those ASSUMPTIONS off their own insecuity rather than ask us. I grew up with alot of love and respect from my male figures in my life(Dad,Grandfather,Step-father, and uncles). I was very blessed to have all them.I did not pose nude for male attention or approval, I have that. My family is 200% supportive of my decision and my mom is the one who took me the casting call in LA, because she knew I wanted this. My moms biggest regret was not posing due to what others would think. Today she has taught me about self approval and being ME! Not living for others approval, because no matter what you do you cannot please EVERYONE in life so please youself first. Being successful does not mean not making bad decisons or mistakes but how you respond, besides posing for PB this is something I wanted to do since I seen my first "Girls Next Door" show. The GND showed a different side to this industry, and it was positive. That is why the show was a success. Majority of the girls who pose for PB are talented, intelligent, goal driven, and kind. Being a PB Model is a stepping stone. The staff and Mr.Hefner are wonderful, and like a big family. I love what Mr.Hefner stands for. He is a genuine, kind man with a good heart. I love his love for animals, and how well he treats his girls.
I hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me more.
Fondly,
Logann Brooke Bovard XOXOXXO
"Sex should be a two-way street," says Rhian. "I try to make my partner happy and go the extra mile to be his personal fantasy." Rhian, a poet and avid poker player, likes guys who are humble, shy and strong and know how to find balance in the bedroom. "Lots of kissing and touching is very important. Don't always feel like you have to take the lead—make the woman want you sometimes."
After finishing her Women's Studies degree at UCLA, Rachel plans to go for a Master's in psychology. Her appearance in Playboy's Girls of the Pac-10 feature piqued her interest in modeling, though—so will her looks win over books? "I love posing so I hope to work hard at that and really kick butt," she says. "And I love being naked so I'm sure there will be more of that in my future!"
Karaoke, World War II reenactments, science fiction television—there are just a few of the ways Titania entertains herself. "I have a love for all things nerdy," she says. How does she entertain us? "Women lead with their bodies. When I dress up, it's in high heels, thigh-high stockings with back seams and cherry-red lipstick. I could take over the world dressed in that outfit, I feel so good."
A movie legend in the making, Angela splits her time between modeling and directing award-winning short films. " I do parodies and comedies, "she says. "Sometimes I go for seriousness and it ends up being hilarious anyway, so I think I have a knack for comedy." She casts her close friends and family in her work, including her sister October 2010 Playmate Claire Sinclair. Angela even wrote, directed and edited a short film for Hugh Hefner's 84th birthday starring Claire and Playmate Crystal Harris. "It premiered at the Mansion on Casablanca night which was huge honor for me as a filmmaker," she says. "Hef really appreciates film and enjoyed it very much. He said 'Thank you for going through all the trouble to make that film.' It was no trouble though. It was truly a pleasure."
Jessica says she feels sexy when happy, wearing heels and kissing. We feel sexy when we see her perfect body, powered by hiking, yoga and good eating. And with whom does she share that perfect body? "Someone who connects with my heart and my mind," Jessica says. "Someone who remembers to play!"
I think that is a great question and I am glad you asked me and wanted to find out. I posed for two reasons to continue to empower women to be comfortable with their bodies and two in hopes to become a playmate one day. I have always grown up with the notion that the women of playboy are international beautiful sex symbols but people tend to forget that they are quite intelligent and business savvy in their own right. Many use their fame from playboy to branch into other areas of entertainment as well as educate young girls about the power and strength of being "ok" with their bodies. Playboy does promote fit and in shape women but i think at the end of the day with the way to reader is changing their definition of what is beautiful i believe playboy has and will continue to adapt. I am happy i posed and have always been comfortable with my body and have no problem showing the beautiful creation god made. Hey back in the day and in certain parts of the world people walk freely naked and posed around and what not among other things!
"Cooking in lingerie should be a requirement in the kitchen," says Brittany, who would be a welcome sight in our galley. She hopes to open her own restaurant where she'll undoubtedly be a very sexy master chef. Despite her love of great meals, Brittany has a sure-fire way of keeping her ridiculous figure in shape: "Sex is the only exercise I get!"
