"Penthouse Pet" September 2000

" In highschool I was an ugly duckling. I had big-breasts, an exotic voluptuous look and was so pathetically shy I had hardly any friends. Finding clothes that would fit me was a real problem too. Dresses that fitted my breasts hung on the rest of me like an empty sack. My tits burst out of dresses that fitted my waist. At least I didn't have the problem of finding a prom dress - no one asked me!

It's going to freak out my classmates to see I made Penthouse's Anniversary Issue centerfold - but I've changed so much I don't think anyone will even recognize me!"
