The Playmate of the Year Luncheon

Sorry it took a while for me to write about the PMOY luncheon, it has been quite the whirlwind of a few days.  The luncheon was an amazing experience.  In addition to my dear husband Ludo joining me, my best friend, Michelle, who lives in Minnesota came out to join me at the luncheon (I think she was most excited about meeting Holly).  Derek from Apprentice LA and Bradford from Apprentice 2 also joined me.  Of course a girl must bring her favorite make-up artist everywhere she goes and Brett Freedman joined me that day, after doing a sensational job on my make-up that morning.  It is truly a surreal experience standing in front of a crowd of approximately 500 with a larger than life-size blow-up of my Playboy Magazine cover behind me.  It is kind of crazy to think that just a few weeks ago I was vying for a job with Donald Trump on The Apprentice (where I underwent quite a bit of scrutiny for my presentation skills) and now I was speaking to the largest crowd I have ever addressed.  I wish that Mr. Trump could have made it to the luncheon, if for no other reason than to tell him to sit there and “zip it” about my presentation skills because I was officially on Hef’s payroll now.  And may I say it is a much better payroll than Trump’s.  The speech went fantastic. For some odd reason I was not nervous and happy to actually let people learn a little bit about the woman behind the glasses.  I am certain that not too many of them knew that I actually worked the drive-thru at McDonald’s in my day.  There was lots of applause and laughter so I guess that means I did an ok job.  I had to run out right after my speech because I was on CNN Showbiz Tonight later that evening, so I did not get to hear Sara Jean’s speech.  I then headed over to Louise Green to pick out my hat for the Kentucky Derby.
