So I would expect some people at least to find her a bit cold just like I do. Still in a year as ordinary as this one she is bound to rate high.

My pick for PMoY is also Kelley Thompson. I love her look, and she seems like a genuinely sweet girl-next-door.

1. Kelley Thompson
2. Kimberly Phillips
3. Jessica Burciaga
4. Hope Dworaczyk
5. Lindsey Gayle Evans

As I’ve stated in the past, I’m not nearly as high on Hope as most are… I agree she’s pretty, but did not think her pictures were all that great, and she tends to leave me cold. I liked Kimberly a lot as someone just different enough from the usual ‘type’ to be interesting, aesthetically, and Jessica is a very lovely Latina.

About Hope, I am still confused why she became a Playmate. How can this help in her career as a fashion model?

As for you saying Crystal McCahill may benefit from being Gale Olson’s daughter, I can’t think of instances of Playboy giving past Playmates extra importance or even Hef giving his past girlfriends special consideration.

I am glad that I am not the only one who feels that something is not quite right with Kelley’s pictures. However some are nice enough to make her one of the best Playmates of this year. See her head shot – it’s absolutely outstanding.

Just looked at the Fobpro site, Kelley looks the way I remember her, like a hopped-up version of Rachel Leigh Cook.

I’m especially glad to hear Kelley Thompson was as cute in person as expected… I’ve always felt her candids (posted via twitter) were better than her actual playboy pics; sometimes, airbrushing does more harm than good!

Yes, Christine meant India. I should have written down the name, it was a phrase so I thought it would be easy to remember. I hope she does well, she seemed genuinely interested in helping.

Ya, I wonder what was going on with Kelley’s pictures. It’s either the lens or she’s just one of those girls who photographs ok but is so much prettier in person.

I agree about Juliette. She still not my absolute favorite from that year but I’d say she’s tied for it. She is simply fantastic in person. Her looks are so attractive *and* she’s intelligent and can talk for a while about lots of different things. Great sense of humor, too.

Tiffany just gets better and better for me each time I see her. She affects me in person now as much as Linda O’Neil does/did. So I guess I’m saying we need to clone her, too.

India Allen stunned in the Playmates Revisited video. Once mature she brought something more to her sex appeal. I think she is one of the hottest Playmates of all time – similar to Barbara Edwards in some ways.

You may be aware that Kara Monaco and Tiffany Selby are best friends. They tweet to each other all the time and even have their personal celebrations with each other.

I am really glad to know that Deanna Brooks is still so popular.

Vanessa Gleason is one of those Playmates for whom it’s impossible to look bad. Style her in way and she will look anywhere between pretty/sexy to out of the world stunning.

Are you sure Christine Smith meant orphanage in India? I would be really interested to know what her connection with my country is.

I am really glad to know that Kelley Thompson looks great in person. She is probably my favorite of this year but I felt her face didn’t look all that great from certain angles while from others it does look stunning.

Long back I said that 2008 had no stand out for me. However now I call Juliette Frette my one and only stand out for that year. While her body in every possible way leaves nothing to be desired, the reason why she edges out some of the other equally good looking ones is her personality and whatever I have read of her thoughts has impressed me.

Last but not the least you are not the only die hard admirer of Tiffany Taylor. I have always said that for me she is an exotic ethereal beauty. I came to know about her health problems from Twitter. It was hard to accept the idea of a lady so beautiful suffering in any way. I asked her a few questions. She sent me direct messages which really pleased me. She explained the problems honestly but in spite of that her positive outlook and ability to make the best of everything shone through. In her tweets a person with a child like innocence comes out. She enjoys the small little happenings in her life and gives her own take on it. I asked her to stop being single and have someone to take care of her but she never replied to that. And if you haven’t seen her Twitter profile picture, please do so. It’s a super woman outfit that looks like it was made for her. Seriously I told her I was so taken by that picture that she should never change it. Man what a year 1998 was. For me there is Tiffany Taylor right on top narrowly edging out Vanessa Gleason but then there are also Deanna Brooks, Lisa Dergan and Julia Schultz. Then there are Heather Kozar and Angela Little and then even Laura Cover and Marliece Andra. As they say – just too much!!!
