I just got back from a week-long vacation in NYC and I’m sick. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later because it seems like everyone is getting it right now. I usually get sick around Thanksgiving so I’m not really surprised. By being in NYC, I probably increased my chances because I was taking public transportation everywhere (subway, cabs) and being on a plane all the way across the country is always a risk…it’s like a germ capsule! Anyways, I’ve been taking it easy and working on my laptop in bed…trying to let my body rest and fight this bug as fast as possible. Good thing is it’s giving me the chance to catch up on my blog writing!
I did want to talk about being on the Howard Stern show last month. I’ve been waiting a very long time to get on the show and I was thrilled when Penthouse asked me to be on the show to participate in the annual Penthouse Pet Pageant. They chose three of us to go on the show…me, Isis Taylor the September 2010 Pet and Sabrina Maree the December 2010 Pet. I had never met either girl so it was nice to meet some more fellow Pets. I flew in the day before the show and didn’t land in NYC until about 9pm. Sabrina and I shared a room so we got to know each other a little and bonded a bit. We had to be up really early…not only did we have to be ready to leave the hotel at 6:30am…but that was really 3:30am to us since we just flew from the west coast! We only got a few hours of sleep but we were total pros!
Being on Stern was better than I expected. People were painting this picture of Howard and the show as being a little aggressive towards the girls. But I didn’t find that to be true whatsoever! Everyone on the show was SO nice and super cordial to all of us. I had a great time and can’t wait to see the copy that they sent me! For the pageant, every girl has to do an audible talent portion…it has to be audible since the show is a radio show. I was initially asked if I could sing or play a musical instrument…neither of which I can really do. I hate singing and it’s been years since I played an instrument. So I got to thinking and came up with the idea of writing a poem about Howard and the show. This way it was still an audible talent yet I didn’t have to sing or play something. I didn’t have a lot of time prior to the show to write my poem, so I did my research the day before I left to NYC and then actually wrote the poem on the plane! I’ll post the poem later for you all to read…I have to find where I put it! 
Sabrina Maree, Isis Taylor and Me at the Howard Stern Show
I didn’t win…Sabrina won. But I did come in second place! At least Robin voted for me…us big boobied women stick together! After our appearance on Stern we cruised over to the Luis Jimenez show for a bit. That show is crazy but TONS of fun! It’s a Spanish speaking program but they just translated what we said for the listeners. I did take three and a half years of Spanish back in school, but my conversational Spanish is just not that great! Isis had to leave after that since she was headed to Exotica NJ, so me and Sabrina visited the Penthouse offices and then went to lunch. Thankfully we were able to take a nap in the middle of the day, as we had two more radio shows to do that night. I went to dinner with Lainie, Penthouse’s publicist, that evening and then Sabrina met up with us for the last two shows. We were guests on The Derek & Romaine Show as well as The Scott Ferrall Show…both are shows on Sirius Radio. The former is a gay/lesbian show, which was a lot of fun…and the latter is a sports show and Scott is hilarious! He even wore my bra on his head for a portion of the show!
All in all I had a great time! I love representing Penthouse and really enjoy doing radio. It was a very short trip but a lot was crammed into that small frame of time. Can’t wait to do it again!
