Did I ever tell you I used to know a Playboy centerfold?
True story, yes.
I'm not going to say her name here because I don't want 34,675 hits from teenage boys and older married men on my blog, but she was Miss June 1999. Look her up.
Just not at work.
She's from Detroit, and when I met her she was working as a waitress at an Italian restaurant in Dearborn. Dennis and I used to go in there quite a bit for lunch in the early 2000's. It was a sort of crazy place, the wait staff would sing songs at night. During the day they were, strangely and thankfully, nonmusical.
So, Miss June was going through some really tough times. She had a bad boyfriend who was about as mature as a Hellboy fan at a comic-book convention. She had fallen hard after her big break with Heff, and we got to hear all about it. She waited on us almost every time we went in there. Our typical lunchtime conversation went something like this:
Me: "Hi, what's up?"
MJ99: "So, Playboy is flying me to California to do a DVD calendar!"
Me: "Really?! Wow, that's great!"
MJ99: "Well, actually it's me and 11 other girls"
Me: "Oh. Still...cool"
There were discussions on relationships, custody laws, and her experiences growing up in southwest Detroit and winning the Hawaiian Tropic contest. She signed a copy of her magazine for me which I use for evidence that I didn't make all this up.
It's interesting that her Wikipedia page actually lists that she worked at an Italian restaurant at Fairlane Mall. It's only a small leap from there to "...where she waited on Dave frequently...", and only a little larger jump to "...who she secretly had a crush on..."
Ok, I'm back.

WOW and to think you could have been lounging around the Playboy mansion! I hear Hef throws a great party.
Playboy, Smayboy. I'm more impressed at the fact that she has a WIKIPEDIA page! Wow!
I remember her (name withheld). I kinda felt sorry for her. Besides us, she had a regular following of what appeared to be highly resourceful men. She didn't seem to understand the concept of "sugar daddy-ism".
Had she not chosen the unemployed father of her child she might have been one of the "Girls Next Door". She's about the same age as Holly.
You don't have your own Wiki page? I do:

Your link describes the WILD experience as "self-awareness". What do you think that means and do you participate in it often?
You should have introduced your post with the phrase, "I never in my wildest dreams thought this could happen to me....."
Is she turned on by long walks on the beach, and turned off by guys who are insincere?
