Modeling, writing comedic short stories, learning a fourth language and taking up golf.

Laughter and a great sense of humor. A guy who can disco and do the "sprinkler" dance.
TURNOFFS
Close-mindedness, negative attitudes, arrogance and narcissism.

Unicef, Boys & Girls Clubs, Mother Teresa's organization.
PLANS FOR CONTINUING MY EDUCATION
I would like to complete a master's in communications.

Sexy Shopgirl
Miss March's global view is forever fashionable
Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood wasn't shopping for talent when she walked into Bebe in Beverly Hills, but in 26-year-old sales specialist Ida Ljungqvist she spotted a must-have item. Sara and Ida got to chatting, and our ad hoc scout realized this one was more than just an exotic beauty with a flawless figure. As Sara would later tell Holly Madison, Ida has the spark and flair of a Playmate. Soon thereafter the Girls Next Door showed up unannounced at the clothing boutique, camera crew in tow. "I was in total shock when they asked me to pose," Ida says. "I'm kind of a thrill seeker. Throw me in–I'll sink or swim!"
Such fearlessness is hardly surprising in a woman who lived in more countries before the age of 18 than most people will ever visit. She was born in Tanzania to a Swedish father and a Tanzanian mother and, because of her father's work with UNICEF, grew up in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, France, the U.K., Sweden and Denmark. She speaks three languages (English, Swedish and Swahili), has a degree in fashion design and marketing and plans to study economics, among other subjects. Ida devotes a lot of time to charity work, a passion she inherited from Pops. "I'm a really positive person," she says. "My dad, he's, like, saving the world, so good luck to whoever decides to marry me! He'll have some big shoes to fill. I love Playboy because I get to meet people from all over the planet."

Playboy Jayde Nicole
March 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
AMBITIONS
To continue modeling while saving money for university. I want to earn a business degree.
TURN-ONS
Intelligence, honesty, politeness, hopeless romantics and someone who is really into music. And nice eyes help.
TURNOFFS
Liars, rude people, arrogance, people who are fake, bad hygiene and anyone who is mean to animals.
REASON WHY ONE SHOULD VISIT CANADA
So people can see that we have more to offer than hockey and beer.
ALL ABOUT MY PET
I have a long-haired teacup Chihuahua named Pumpkin, who I love to pieces. I bring him everywhere.
JOBS I HAD BEFORE MODELING
I worked as a salesperson at Guess and in the pro shop at Mill Run Golf & Country Club.
GOOD FIRST-DATE IDEA
Going to the zoo would be awesome!
I WILL NEVER
Say never…because it only holds you back.
Girl from the North Country
O Canada! Meet Miss January Jayde Nicole
Anyone who has traveled north of the border into Canada knows this chilly outback possesses a certain undeniable magic. We think of it as a mysterious muse that produces great composers (Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell), fine liquor (Crown Royal), crisp-tasting beer (Molson) and a unique feminine charm and beauty. Mix all those ingredients together, add a blazing fire (ideally in a fireplace) and you've got everything any man could ever ask for.As for Canada's brand of beautiful women, Jayde Nicole is the perfect example. The intoxicating 20-year-old professional model from Ontario is herself a little mystery. "Both my parents were adopted, so neither has any idea where we come from," she says. "People have guessed that I'm everything: Asian, French, Hawaiian, American Indian. I don't know–I guess I'm just Canadian."
Jayde knows what it means to give everything to the camera. She once did a lingerie shoot outside when the temperature felt like -40 degrees Celsius. "They smeared glycerin all over my body to keep me warm," she giggles. "It turned out to be a cool picture." She also started her own modeling company to show off the local talent. "I look for models who are really polite," she says. "Pretty, natural girls. I wanted to put together a classy group of girls from my area so we could all work together." And when she's not working? "I take my teacup Chihuahua Pumpkin with me everywhere and spend as much time as possible with my friends, most of whom are men. I'm like one of the guys." We beg to differ.

Dalene
it's no accident that miss september is pursuing an acting career
DALENE KURTIS arrived in Los Angeles with a bang, but not the type she expected. Shortly before her photo shoot, Dalene Kurtis found herself in a seven-car pileup on the freeway. "My car was totaled and my life flashed before my eyes," she says. "Ever since then I've been really grateful for the good things in my life." Dalene was driving home that day for her parents' anniversary in Bakersfield, California, where she grew up. "Being an only child made me a stronger person, but I definitely want at least two kids someday," she says.
After graduating from high school and attending business college, Miss September worked for three years at an insurance agency before she tried modeling. A state semifinalist for both Hawaiian Tropic and Venus Swimwear, she moved to Los Angeles and worked as a Budweiser girl and landed other modeling gigs. She met Hef at a Playboy party in February. She says that she reminded him of Doris Day, and when you take another look at her sweet, hottest playmate fresh-faced good looks, Hef makes a persuasive point. She started seeing him soon after, joining his party posse at clubs such as Las Palmas, Barfly and Deep. She moved into the Mansion in May and this is, she says with a bit of wonder in her voice, the happiest time of her life.

Playmate Brande Roderick
March 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
AMBITIONS
My ambition is to find joy and satisfaction in my career and personal life.
TURN-ONS
Taking in a good movie while spending time with loved ones and my beautiful puppy Mercedes.
TURNOFFS
Negative people who are unkind and have no respect for others.
PASSIONS
Traveling, acting and doing charity work.
ROLE MODELS
In my acting career I look up to Audrey Hepburn, Michelle Pfeiffer, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie — women who touch so many lives, including my own, with their talent. But, above all, I look up to my mom and dad, who have touched my life with their love and support. They are the wind beneath my wings!
BRANDE
if you distilled her personality you'd find it very spirited
IN THE WINE COUNTRY of northern California, 1974 must have been a vintage year-if not for wine, then certainly for Brande. That's Brande Roderick, who left the vineyards behind three years ago and is now looking to taste the fruits of an acting career in Los Angeles. You may have already seen Brande Nicole Roderick in the background on Babylon Five (she was an alien) or in Armageddon, in commercials for Dr Pepper, Snickers or the Duke Nuke'em video game — or more recently in featured roles on such television shows as Beverly Hills 90210, Love Boat and Two Guys and a Girl. The roles are getting bigger, and so are her goals.
Q: Before your photo session, had you ever stomped grapes?
A: No. These days, they have machines for that. But when I was younger, my friends and I used to go to a vineyard near my house and steal grapes. My mom would say, "Are you sure you got those at the store?"

Playboy Jodi Ann Paterson

AMBITIONS
To continue learning, loving and living life — taking advantage of all opportunities.
TURN-ONS
Athleticism, well-built physique, intelligence, ambition, a great sense of humor & round glutes!
TURNOFFS
Aggressive men, pretentious people, narcissism & laziness.
WHAT MAKES A WOMAN SEXY
Absolutely, without a doubt, a woman's mind makes her sexy — her intelligence, her knowledge, her mystery and her character.
IDEAL WEEKEND
Camping at a lake, wakeboarding all day, visiting at the campfire with friends & leaving the makeup at home.
MY FRIENDS KNOW
When I say I am going to do something, I do it. I've never been accused of not going all out.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
When you stop learning, you stop living.
BUSY BEAVER
miss october crawled out of her shell in college — and we're delighted she did.
Out on the town in Hollywood or at parties at the Playboy Mansion, Jodi Ann Paterson hears the question a lot. She'll be talking to someone, going on about the joys of camping or the importance of character or the value of a strong work ethic, and they'll look at her strangely and ask, "You're not from around here, are you?" She's not. She was born in Balikpapan, Indonesia, the second child of an Indonesian mother and an American father. Her parents later moved to Oregon, where the hottest playmate Jodi Ann attended school, won beauty pageants (including Miss Oregon Teen USA 1994), became a spokesperson for the state's DARE program and a motivational speaker for teens and later attended the University of Oregon and Oregon State (she received a bachelor's degree in speech communications from OSU). Throw in summer jobs every year from the time she was 12, stellar grades and an extracurricular slate that would exhaust most students (at OSU it included the debate team, the school newspaper and the campus television station) and you have a young woman with a powerful drive to succeed.

LATIN CLASS
miss august sets a high mark for herself
Because you watched Fox' Girl Next Door: The Search for a Playboy Centerfold, you know that Christina Santiago was one of three finalists. "I wasn't a sore loser when I lost to Lauren Anderson, but I was disappointed because I didn't understand what Playboy was looking for in a Playmate," she says. "When I got the phone call saying I was going to be Miss August, I had to eat my words."
Christina Santiago striking features helped her become a professional model, but she doesn't think she had an advantage over the other 11 women. "I'd never done nude modeling before," she says. "I didn't feel uncomfortable, because I'm content with my body, and I'm not afraid to show it." She was even less shy around the cameramen recording her every move for two weeks — much of the footage was deemed too hot for television. "We couldn't talk to the crew at all," she says. "The only thing that we could do when the cameramen left the room, which was probably mean on our part, was to purposely do something outrageous so they'd run back to the room trying to get to their cameras. I made out with this girl on the show, but I don't think you see that on network TV." So all signs point to the contestants' getting along, right? "Everyone thought there would be catfights. But the contract specifically said, 'No pulling hair, no spitting, no biting,'" she says. "I was laughing so hard!"

Spring Fever
miss decesare came, saw, conquered
It seems Carmella DeCesare, Carmella DeCesare, Ohio, took her share of knocks in high school. "I was the girl everybody liked to tease," she confesses. "I wanted to be friends with everyone and have a good time, but it just didn't work out that way. I had three good girlfriends in high school and they stuck by me. Kids at that age are horrible and look for someone to pick on, and I guess I was it. I hadn't grown up yet — I had big red-frame glasses and no style. My mom and my stepdad always told me, 'Those boys who make fun of you are going to want to date you later.' I never believed them, but now it's my time to shine." Her first triumph over her tormentors came when she beat out thousands of hopefuls to become one of the 12 chosen for Fox' Girl Next Door: The Search for a Playboy Centerfold. Unfortunately, she was one of the two girls who dropped out of the show early. "When I went to California, I was excited and had a different vision," says Carmella. "I thought I would meet all these girls and we would hang out and have fun. Everybody was cutthroat and really wanted to win — it wasn't the friendliest contest. It freaked me out. I decided to leave because it wasn't for me."

Miss July blossoms before your eyes
Avid Playboy readers already know what Sara Jean Underwood did last summer: The angel-faced 22-year-old posed for the October 2005 issue's Girls of the Pac 10 cover. What the native of Scappoose, Oregon didn't anticipate was the reaction at her college, Oregon State University. "Maybe it's because I wear a baseball cap and sweatpants to class, but I didn't know other students knew I existed," she says. "Now they come up and hug me and ask me to sign the magazine."
After she graduates this year, with a degree in business marketing, Sara and her best friend plan to celebrate by backpacking through Europe. "I'm a spontaneous, outdoorsy type who has traveled a lot, but Oregon is the perfect place to live," she says. "I love its greenness, fresh air and beauty. I like to ride my horse up a trail to this beautiful spot where you can see four mountains on a clear day. I go there when I'm stressed out or sad–as long as it's not hunting season."

Christmas with Tiffany
Miss December arrives unwrapped
Florida-born Tiffany Fallon has a Dixie flair for putting everyone at ease, which explains how she has sashayed from one career choice to the next. "I dare myself to try things," she says. The 30-year-old earned a college degree in sports management and now gives the inside scoop on college football recruiting as a host at Rivals.com. "I'm a sports fanatic," she says. "In high school I played volleyball and soccer and ran track. After I moved to Atlanta I became a Falcons cheerleader. We went to the Super Bowl in 1999 against the Broncos and lost, but I was happy just to be there. I had never cheered or danced professionally before." Her next adventure involved entering the Miss USA pageant, where, as Miss Georgia USA 2001, she finished as second runner-up. "The idea to do a pageant came after I worked as a flight attendant," she says. "I enjoyed being social with the passengers. I tried to look tailored–to be a throwback to the good old days. Sometimes I'd get in trouble because my skirt was too short or my hair wasn't right. I'd be like, 'I'm just trying to look fabulous, people!'"

Princess Monaco
A warm and sunny Miss June brightens the Sunshine State
Since one of the hottest playmates Kara Monaco appeared last August in our Women Behind Bars pictorial featuring sexy bartenders, guys wandering near her watering hole in Orlando, Florida have been unusually thirsty. "People come in every night wanting me to sign something for them," she says. "The owners loved it, and while I thought it was sweet, it got a little overwhelming." Kara, who describes herself as "a bit shy and reserved until you get to know me," found a way to deflect some of the attention. "I have a co-worker who looks enough like me that people think we're sisters," she says. "At one point, when someone came in and asked, 'Are youKara from Playboy?' I said, 'Oh no, she's right over there.' She got to play my body double. It was funny."
Such shyness, however, is seldom more than a temporary condition with Kara. Though the petite 22-year-old starts out quiet, her emerald eyes light up before long, and her friendly laugh turns into an exuberant cackle. This is especially true once you get her going about life in the Sunshine State. Tourists, she says, are easy to spot "because they're always sunburned"–a detail she first noticed while fulfilling a tour of duty working in Mickey Mouse's playground. "I dressed as seven different characters, including Cinderella, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and the Little Mermaid," she says proudly. Kara also danced in the Disney World parades, a not unexpected distinction on a résumé that includes years of dancing and gymnastics and a stint coaching a competitive dance team. "It was a jazz-funk, hip-hop kind of thing," she says. "That's what I do best."
