I became a Playmate in June 1989 and it's been great.

I've been places and I've done things that I never thought possible.

Although it's fun, it is a lot of hard work.

Playmates travel on promotions, making personal appearances at conventions,

trade shows, and other special events from Boise to Bakersfield.

But once in a while, our work takes us to exotic, faraway places of unmatched

beauty. Once in a while, we playmates get to go to paradise.

I've been a playmate since 1986 and I've been all over Europe. I went to Italy,

Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France.

It's very tough, you know, going to Acapulco, Puerto Rico. Now I'm in Puerto

Rico, now I'm going to Canada. It's very tough.

Puerto Rico

is

an exceptional promotion. First of all, the location is like...

heaven or paradise.

It's beautiful here. You like the beach and you like the sun. This is a great

place.

First, you're going to try on everything that's in your pile.

See what fits.

Separate what fits from what doesn't, okay? Because if you start changing and

intermixing, we've got everything organized. If something doesn't fit,

then we'll go down to the shop and get you something else to try on.

Okay, don't start changing with the other girls because then everything will

get mixed up. Me. So where's Anna's pile? This is your pile right here.

Tony, you're right here. I'm right here. You guys don't have to worry about what

order you're going to wear it out in because that's what your dresses will

take care of.

Is this Deborah then?

What do you want me to try on?

I'm sorry.

I need a bottom.

Okay. Okay.

It's in the wrong pile, yeah. Where am I?

It's too tiny.

Yeah, it's not a time.

We'll get a larger size in there.

But this has the... I'm going to buy this for sure.

I have to make sure that it fits.

Can you do this, Debra?

Sure.

Oh, that's bodacious, yeah?

I love bodacious.

Walk very calmly.

No jumping around, okay?

All right, that's okay. We have a good sense of humor here.

This is my middle, my buns.

Did you tie these together? I never expected to be asked to do a centerfold.

I did the pictorial, and I thought that would be it. I had never even expected

to get chosen for that.

I was in Chicago. I called home and asked my mom about it, and everybody

said it was okay, so I did.

And Sue, are you going to have male models again this year? No? Okay.

Boys never came to my house because everybody knew I had five older

brothers.

They were afraid to.

Actually, the first time someone came to my house to pick me up, they were so

nervous to knock on my door that he beeped the horn, and all of my five

brothers and my mom were there.

And they, like, held me on the couch and said, You're not moving.

until he knocks on the door, so that was an experience, but not a lot of boys

knocked on my door at home.

Before I was a playmate, I used to throw out Playboy magazines, and then when no

one was around, I'd look at them and wish that I could be one.

And then someone else submitted my pictures, and that's how I became a

playmate, because I wasn't, you know, I don't know, I was worried about my mom

and my dad and when I have kids.

All that stuff. You know, not that I missed morality or anything, but I was

just worried how society would accept it.

You know, just people.

Now I don't care.

If you don't like it, then get away from me.

Because there's plenty of people that do.

It's flattering, actually.

I mean, you know, that people actually come up and wait in line to have a

picture of you. I mean, I'm not famous. I'm not a movie star.

So I think it's a compliment, and that's how I take it. One, two, three.

We get a lot of free time usually during the day, which is unusual for promotion.

And we get to get suntans and stuff like that. So it's really a lot of fun.

Let's go to the big cannon.

The big one.

Come on.

Welcome to our Playboy Playmate Fashion Show. My name is Tracy and I'll be your

commentator of the day.

We had a fabulous fashion show.

Stores out here in the hotel.

They provide all the clothes and swimsuits and we each do something like

ten outfits a piece.

They gave us this little room to change in and there's six Playmates trying to

primp in front of one little mirror. Yeah, it was very smooth.

Everybody's ripping off their clothes and hitting you in the face and sweat

coming off you because the bathroom's about this big.

round of applause.

Is that the last one? No.

Nope. We have one more.

You know who I really feel sorry for? Are these girls that have to hang all

these clothes back up?

They should go out there. They should give them a round of applause.

Do you know that you are doing it?

We like nobody.

Move your body. Relax your body.

Move your body. Relax your body.

Move your body. Relax your body.

Move your body.

What? We don't have here.

We model, but we don't have. The big, um... You understand.

Remember, Petra is Miss December 1989.

She just completed shooting her playmate video series.

She was born and raised... In Puerto Rico!

Put this in the back.

It would be very nice. Yeah, you think so?

Well, for Puerto Rican guys, that's very nice. Having a lot of butt.

But for gringos, American, having a lot of butt. Gringos like big tetas, and

Puerto Rican guys like big culo. You know what's tetas? What? You know what's

tetas? I can imagine.

You know what's culo?

Well, I can imagine.

Once again, we...

Club scene? Club scene's wild here.

Been dancing the night away.

We had a lot of fun here.

The highlight, the rainforest, hiking down through the rainforest.

We are going to go swimming right there. Right there, yeah.

Let's do it.

If this is work, then what's vacation like?

Well, not long after our trip to Puerto Rico, I brought Jackie Sheen and Pam

Stein on a trip to my old stomping ground in Hawaii, and it went a little

something like this.

Oh!

Oh, how about that?

Sprinkles or it rains, and then in five minutes, it's gone.

It was raining like about...

20 minutes ago, really hard, it was a black cloud.

And now, look at the sky.

Just to cool you off.

What was that?

That's what I still lay in my room for.

Hanoma Bay is one of the most beautiful places on the island, I think, on this

island.

You look down on it, and the water is so blue.

You can see all the coral and the reef and people snorkeling. And you get down

there, and you see the fish swim right up to you.

And it's a great experience.

It's beautiful.

Paradise.

Then when you exhale, you activate your foot and feet.

It's like saying the number two.

Two.

Breathe in gently.

Blast out.

You girls ready to go down? Oh, boy. Do we look ready or what? We're ready.

Let me tell you.

We are ready.

Now, if you don't see us again, you know that this means that we didn't master

it.

Hold my hand. Hold my hand.

Stretch out. Stretch out.

Good, good. Lift your hands off to the bottom, honey. Look, you're just

floating there. Look at that.

Look at that.

We went bike riding in Mount Tunneleth. It was really fun.

The girls were crazy.

We're here.

I got a boy bike.

Come on, you bunch of athletic women. Holy shit.

you are such a the highlight of the trip is definitely the surfing

We tried every water sport in the book on this trip.

Let's go. All aboard.

A little bit more.

A little bit more.

She goes swimming. Want to go, Jackson? Let's go!

Hey, Captain.

Yeah. The girls want to do some swimming.

Where can we go?

There's good water up by Waikiki and just off Diamond Head.

Waikiki? Yep, you bet. Okay. Clean, blue, quiet.

All right.

Sounds good.

We'll do it. Yeah.

Favorite thing that we did here would probably have to be when we kayaked to

the island and we found the little cove where we were swimming. That was really

neat.

I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this place.

That was the neatest part of this whole trip was just being so overwhelmed by

the beauty of Hawaii.

I love it.

I can handle it.

It's nice to be back with my friends, show my friends how much fun it is.

Jackie asked me, it's so strange, how can you be here and move away?

And I'm here right now thinking, looking at this thing, I don't know.

I don't know.

I think they love it.

How could you not?

It's beautiful.

It's paradise, you know?

Right now, we're in Jamaica, and we're having a wonderful time. It's a lot of

hard work, but we're getting to see and do a lot of things that would never have

happened if we weren't here.

I'm going on a journey.

I'm going on a journey.

Are you ready?

Going on a journey out in the country.

I want to live some natural life. I want to feel some natural life.

I want to be some I shall I.

Positive and always wise.

We are working on a TV show called Eden, which is for European cable.

And it's been a lot of fun. It's mostly been beach scenes and running around in

bikinis and just being ourselves, basically.

What are your instructions?

Run topless.

Run down, jogging, topless, having fun.

What else are you supposed to do?

That's about it. That's it. Be happy. Where do you want to go?

From there to there.

Yeah. You have your marks, so... You ready?

Yes, we're ready.

Background action!

The first run was great.

It's not bad at all. It's really easy.

Are we done? Good night.

Cut!

When we got a chance to horseback ride, I was really thrilled. I haven't been

horseback riding in years.

It's the sort of thing you never forget.

The horse was really easy to get along with, and I rode him really hard.

It's fun, you know, feeling the wind in your hair and just racing along the

beautiful landscape.

I'll never forget that.

All of us girls went to town and went shopping. You know, you can barter with

the people here that have their shops and have their wares and things. And it

was a great day shopping. We loved it.

Not small.

Shopping, I loved shopping. Yeah, they had tons of great stuff. They had a lot

of carved stuff.

A lot of carved wood, a lot of fish, and carved faces, Rasta

Man, and a lot of little knick-knack stuff.

How do I, do I hold this?

No, not this. Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, she's nice.

The only thing that really caught my eye was a little baby. It was a little

newborn Jamaican baby about eight weeks old. And it was laying there in the

middle of all the T-shirts and all the novelty gifts. There was just this

precious little perfect baby.

Can I pick you up, little girl?

Yeah. Come here.

Yeah, you're happy.

Oh, look at that.

Look at that. The little baby.

Can I keep her?

No. Are you sure? She fits perfectly.

Now, in the meantime, music playing, if you feel nice and you feel like you want

to dance, you just get up and dance.

I should tell you, they're going to have tonight a fashion show.

Very vivid colors.

Hot pink and green.

And then after fashion, we have limbo dance, fire dance.

Limbo dancing.

I'm

pretty good

at limbo dancing. Yes, I am. It's amazing. I didn't know I could do it

myself.

I don't think I could do that as a habit or a hobby.

The first two notches, which are probably about five feet high, I did

okay. But after that, I couldn't get down that low.

I think I'm too tall. That's what it is.

I'm very short, and I still couldn't get underneath the bar.

Tanya was like one of those rubber people.

Bend it in half and crawled under like a little crab. She was pretty good

Deborah

I think beat me but I was close

They put kerosene in their mouth and they blow just these huge flames.

I got here and tasted a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

It was great.

We actually got to go to the plantation and take a tour of how they make this

coffee. They pick the beans by hand. They inspect them. They do everything.

They pound them. They crush them.

And everybody there is an expert. They've been doing it practically their

whole working life.

So how long did it take you to grow your beard?

Oh, that's a long time now.

Long time now, man. And everyone love it, you know. I love

it and everyone love it.

How many years have you been making coffee? All the days of my life.

My mom and father was doing it, and now they come and doing it now.

Wow, this looks good.

I need a cup.

That's the Blue Mountain Coffee.

It's great coffee.

We had like four cups of it. It was wonderful.

That time we were going crazy. We were like all caffeined out, but it was

great.

I love

reggae. I've always loved reggae, and I guess this is...

one of the better places to hear that kind of music, so I really enjoyed it.

I mean, dancing to me is a big part of my life. I'm always dancing, no matter

where it is, in my bedroom, at home, in the apartment, working, it doesn't

matter.

The trident castle that was great. It was beautiful. It's huge. It looks like

a It looks like a big fairyland castle something you see in Disney World or

something

Bye.

My favorite thing I think was snorkeling.

I like that a lot.

Considering that I'm not a very good swimmer, it was a little bit confusing.

I had mixed feelings where I was scared, but I was excited.

And once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun.

An island all to ourselves.

Wow.

Oh,

this is beautiful.

You've been an extra before, haven't you? Yeah, I did a show called Sibs, and

I had to be this New York model and just hang out in front of an art gallery.

It's kind of fun. It's a lot of waiting.

Yeah. Hurry up and wait.

Reach Falls, one of the most incredibly beautiful places I've ever seen in my

life. These lovely falls, you know, reaching over the boulders into this

little pool.

The water's really cold and refreshing, and it just makes you want to skinny

dip.

I had never gone skinny dipping until I got to Jamaica.

It's just the kind of place that relaxes you when you lose your inhibitions. You

have to do it to understand what it's like.

Take home good memories with the crew and everything. I had a good time here.

The casual attitude, I'll definitely take that with me.

It's beautiful. It's gorgeous.

And I know it's a beautiful place with great food, but I like the children the

best. I've been to Aruba and the Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii, but this is

quite lovely. The people are so gracious here and kind.

Nothing like it. It's like paradise.

I want to see the trees and mountains, waterfalls and natural mountains. I want

to hear the songbirds singing, songs of love and joy they're bringing.

I want to feel and walk with nature, free my soul from all this pressure.

Going on a journey, out in the country.

Going on a journey, out in the country.

Play something for me.
