Original subtitles

I'm Nicole Daum. I'm Erica Daum. I'm Jacqueline Daum.

We're the Daum Triplets, and we're Miss December in 1998.

We were born and have lived our whole lives in Jordan, Minnesota.

It's a little town about an hour from Minneapolis.

We've grown up doing just about everything together.

We never get tired of each other.

Yes, we do.

No, we don't. Yes, we do.

Our parents always said they got three times what they expected.

Three times the fun and three times the trouble.

It seems like no matter where we go, we just seem to stand out a little.

It's a wild...

Fingerprints were so alike when we were born.

They had to do something permanent on us to tell us apart. Kids were all in the

bathtub. We always took bathtubs together and babysitters.

They couldn't tell us apart if we didn't have clothes on.

Our parents would come home, and the babies would be in the wrong cribs

because they couldn't tell us apart.

So the permanent thing they did was tattoo ink dot.

It was like an ink dot.

Injected a blue ink dot.

Not on my foot. I have one dot, and she's got two because she was born

second. They couldn't fit three, so she doesn't have any.

and they're on our butt cheeks.

Our parents never thought it'd be a problem being on our butts, and here we

are posing in Playboy now.

And we've had to show them our whole life.

Right there.

You see it? It's got one here and one here. Our grandma has pulled down her

pants to anybody and everybody she can.

Even at church, she would do it at church.

That was until we were probably about 12.

We have so many similarities.

Sometimes I'm sure I feel what they feel.

We like the same things, and we dislike the same things.

We laugh at the same time. We cry at the same time.

We're happy and sad at the same time.

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for my sisters.

Oh, we've been treated as one person our whole life. We have to share

Christmas presents. People call us the triplets, which is Jacqueline, Erica,

and Nicole, which we accepted our whole life because we feel we are one

together. When they're away and I'm alone, I feel like something's missing

about me.

And it's an advantage to be treated like one because you always have somebody

there and they go through everything that you go through. But there is a

disadvantage in that we just don't have our own identity and we don't grow up

our separate ways and become our own person instead of one together.

No, you don't have life.

It must die.

Yes, it must.

i can leave with your

mind

will never be the same

Once I get my hands on you, baby, I'm not sure.

Experiment with your mind.

Once I get my hands on you, baby, I'm in control.

I'm in control. I'm in control. I'm in control.

I'm in control.

I'm in control.

I'm in control.

I'm in control.

I'm in control.

There's no escape, nowhere to go, except back to me.

I can see so many different things, gotta let it be.

Experiment with your mind.

Once I hit my-

It's not good enough

It's been a blast in Los Angeles.

We've been going out almost every night, hitting clubs with Hef, and dinners, and

parties, and parties, and parties.

L.A. is a totally different world, especially at Hef's Mansion.

I mean, it's stuff you don't even dream of, and we're actually here doing it.

The second day we got there on Saturday, it was an all-day party. About 500 to 1

,000 people throughout the day was there.

People were swimming and celebrities.

It was like a paradise, and half has been a blast.

We go out, and he gets his groove on and dances and talks and up until wee

hours in the morning every night. Definitely knows how to party.

One thing is for sure. When we're together, there's never a shortage of

fun.

I always feel like I have my two best friends with me.

Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

Baby, baby, love to swing and jive.

Baby, baby, love to swing and jive.

She don't mind, makes her feel lively.

Swing, jump, and jive.

Feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and jive.

Feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, swing, jump, and jive.

Swing, jump, and jive, I feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and jive, I feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and jive.

Swing, jump, and jive, I feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and jive, I feel so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and jive.

Our town was so small that everybody knew everybody's business, and when the

triplets came in, it was like everyone had to know everything about us.

And they still do.

Everybody wants to know what the triplets are up to, where they're at.

And it's always the triplets. It's never Erica, Jacqueline, Nicole.

It's the triplets, what are the triplets doing, and everyone knows us by the

triplets. They know exactly what triplets they're talking about. Probably

the whole Minnesota does.

Not many people know we're in Playboy yet. It's going to be a big surprise.

They've never had triplets in Playboy before, so we'll be the first. So we're

making history at Playboy.

We were discovered by Playboy at the University of Minnesota.

They were scouting for girls of the Big Ten, and they asked us to be playmates.

We said yes.

Yes. And yes.

We're very proud and feel very lucky.

We've always been interested in the health care field because our mom's a

registered nurse.

So growing up, I think we saw what a caring person she was, and we liked

the rewarding effect of caring for people.

Nicole and I worked in a hospital all through college in the intensive care

unit, so it was really exciting. It was kind of like a thrill to work there.

You get to see a lot of neat stuff.

They come home and ramble on for hours and hours about their day at work. It's

just interesting to hear because they do so many different things that they've

got to tell. And it's so fun to hear. But that's something we'd want to get

into if we went back to school.

Definitely where our interests are.

My heart is pounding right on the beat.

It's so loud you can hear it from the street.

That's what I'm talking about, your pretty face.

Sweet temptation, I've got my eye on you.

Sweet temptation,

what you gonna do?

Oh yeah.

You're endless, I'm fading fast.

I just want this good thing to last.

I'm frustrated.

My mind is gone. You're killing me.

Hold my hand.

Don't get too complicated.

Watch it go.

She's got the legs clear up to her neck.

The high-heeled shoes clicking on the jet.

Ain't no feeling.

She's having it.

Everything about her, it's just hot.

Come on, baby, let's see what you got.

My condition's worse.

One condition, my condition's ill.

Sweet temptation, I've got my eye on you.

Sweet temptation, what you gonna do?

I get a certain strength in having my sisters with me.

I've always felt my sisters live and breathe with me.

We really have been blessed with the wonderful gift of having each other.

They are dreams of every way.

It's right there in my soul.

More than words can say.

We love it every way.

Then your heart, heart can say.

More than words can say.

A thousand miles we may roam, but I love life here at

home. I realize within your touch, that's why

I need you so much.

In your dreams, you're everywhere.

When we were younger we used to wonder if people could tell us apart We were

always called by the wrong name People can really get

confused around us

you

I do all these things in my head as I reach for the door.

My eyes wide open, something in me says that I've been here

before. Oh, inside the light shines,

I see you so clear.

Yeah, I feel.

Days are blue, yes, I've loved you before.

But in my mind, I've been wanting more.

But in your eyes, I find it very nice.

Send me now, surrender to the night, yeah.

Crimson lace, ooh, I go out of control.

You flash a smile and my heart starts to race.

D.W., yes, I've met you before.

In my mind, I keep wanting more.

In your eyes, I find paradise.

Take me now, surrender to the night.

Promise is spoken.

can keep.

I know I've seen you in my sleep.

So many ways and so many charms.

I've got you here in my arms.

In your eyes I find paradise Sing me now Surrender

We each have our own goals, and we each have our own dreams.

But there is one thing we will always know and feel. No matter where we go or

what we do, we will always have each other.

I may only be 18.

But I've learned that self-confidence and enthusiasm can take you a long way.

Once you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

to learn what we really are each

It's cancer.

in San Diego, California.

I have one sister.

She's younger than me. She just turned 17. We're about a year and a half apart.

I have a mom and a dad. That's it.

I was a total tomboy. Completely a tomboy. I had short hair like a boy. I

wanted to be a cowboy.

I wore cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans all the time. I was totally into riding

horses. Hated boys.

That's it.

Between school and work, I really have a hectic schedule.

But some of my favorite times are when I'm doing nothing at all.

The first thing I notice about a guy is his smile. He has to have a really warm

smile. He has to be very approachable.

He has to be honest, and he has to have a great sense of humor, make me laugh,

and be very witty.

Posing nude for Playboy was hard for me at first, but everyone around you just

makes you feel so comfortable, and you work with the same people through all

the pictures, and you just kind of...

form relationships with everyone, and you become really comfortable.

I've done a lot of swimsuit modeling.

I've done a lot of bikini catalogs, bikini calendars.

I feel really comfortable in a swimsuit or out of a swimsuit.

Everything that love can do. I know now everything we have is

good.

You keep my heart beating right on time.

Know what I feel is so, so blind.

I know that you feel the same way too.

So come and hold me.

You know I'll be lost by joy.

Feel the love and guide.

There's no substitute you can't hide.

When you think of me.

I'm talking about us.

I'm just gonna go.

Let's not feel unsure.

The highest mountain is where we belong.

See, you'd never find anyone like me.

Better hold on to what you've got.

Don't leave me waiting here anymore.

Our kiss is worth living for.

Come on, baby.

It's got to be.

Making love, you know how.

Just let it go, yeah.

Let all those things show.

When you think of me and how it's gone.

I'm talking about us.

Just can't let go. Let those feelings show.

The highest mountain is where we belong when you spin.

Right now, my goal is to learn as much as I can about life.

I guess learning is just part of the journey, and I'm looking forward to the

trip.

Yeah, I'm feeling fine.

Let's get it up like mine.

The swing jump and jive.

Feels so good, I can fly.

Swing jump and jive.

Feels so good, I can fly.

The swing jump. The swing jump and jive. All right.

Mary, Mary, how does your guy grow?

Mary, Mary, how does your guy grow?

She don't care, she just wants to drive the boat.

Swing, jump, and dive, it feels so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, and dive, it feels so good I could fly.

Swing, jump, swing, jump, and dive in.

Baby, baby, love the swinging child.

Baby, baby, love the swinging child.

If you don't mind, make love to your life.
