Bio by Devin : I graduated a year early from high school and I was in college at LSU studying Marketing and Accounting when Playboy discovered me. They took out an ad in the school newspaper. I went along with another coed out of curiosity and ended up being one of 5 girls chosen out of 400 that auditioned. I was completely surprised and flattered but had never even seen a Playboy and had to make such a big decision quickly. The shoot was at a Plantation mansion and I was so nervous, I was still a virgin! I soon realized after the makeup artist fell asleep and the lighting guy seemed bored reading a book that it was no big deal to them that I was topless and became more comfortable. I decided I wanted to test for Playmate after the "Girls of the SEC" pictorial but it took me two years to work up the nerve to call Playboy, I didn't think I'd make it because there were so few exotic girls in the magazine at the time. I flew to Chicago to test and was accepted immediately, however at that time Roberta Vasquez and Karen Valez were both scheduled for November and December of 1984 so they put me in June of 1985 because our last names. I shot my centerfold in one day! I was always sick because I could never get use to the winters in Chicago and happen to sick the day I shot my centerfold. You can see my eyes are watering and they were feeding me Vicks cold medicine through a straw. I thought for sure I blew my chance at Playmate but got a call a few days later from editor Michael Ann Sullivan saying I was chosen and was one of the last Playmates shot in Chicago by Richard Fegley. I was a little naive about how much being a Playmate would affect my life at the time I made the decision. I wanted the money for college since I'd been working two part time jobs and taking a full college schedule... it was so tough. Once I became a Playmate, it opened doors for me to travel and meet lots of new and interesting people since I'd never been anywhere. I did see how judgmental people could be in the South especially at that time and lost a student working job as a result of posing for Playboy. I then decided it was time to spread my wings and fly away from the South to find myself. I kinda fell into catalogue modeling in Chicago which then lead to the rest of my career. I was modeling in Chicago at the time and there was a cattle call of every model in town. Cindy Crawford was the hottest model there at the time and even she was on the audition. They selected only 2 girls to go to New York and do the videos that were for the show's competition. Star Search was like American Idol is today and I wanted so badly to go but couldn't because I was booked in Los Angeles on the Playboy Playoff video shoot. I sent flowers to the producers hoping they'd keep me in mind for the next season when luck seemed to be on my side and a girl fell out of the competition towards the end of that season and they replaced her with me. I was on the last 3 shows of that season and won which placed me in the semi finals and then the finals. I won the $100,000 in 1986. I was the only contestant in the history of Star Search that never lost a show! Playboy was so proud they offered me a celebrity cover and pictorial for November 1986 which of course made up for me not getting Playmate of the year.
