- [posing for Playboy again at 65] Doing this shoot was a thrill in every way, although in the beginning, I was a little nervous considering the time span between my first shoots and the fact that I would now be shooting with other Playmates who were decades younger. Eventually, though, I realized I would be representing an age group that rarely gets this sort of recognition so I embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly.
- [modeling nude for Playboy] Posing for the magazine was empowering because it gave me the confidence to be the woman I want to be. I'm proud of who I am and what I look like and, given the opportunity, I would pose again in a heartbeat.
