Denise McConnell

Oklahoma, a quiet state located in the Bible Belt, was the perfect place for our Miss March 1979 to live as a grown woman coming into her own. Denise McConnell was born in Wiesbaden, Germany to a father in the U.S. Air Force and a mother of Puerto Rican descent. Norman, Oklahoma, however, was a far cry from central western Germany. I like that about Oklahoma; you can always find a place that's quiet, explains the petite brunette. In a large city, with all the noise, I can't get to sleep at night. Even though our all-natural Playmate prefers quiet small towns compared to big, boisterous cities, that doesnt mean shes a boring, plain-Jane. Along with being our busty Playmate of the Month, she earns a living as a licensed private investigator. It's a real advantage being a female in this business, proudly states Denise who specializes in missing persons, divorce and child custody cases. If I want to talk to someone, especially a man, it's not hard to get his attention. Who would refuse the opportunity to speak to a beauty like Denise? Her looks, her adventurous spirit and her ruthless ambition were being wasted working as a secretary at a private-eye officeshe wanted to get out there. Her boss took a chance on her, a decision that not only forever changed our soft-spoken Playmates life, but it also changed the businesss structure when she was made partner. The people are different, but each case is pretty much the same; you follow somebody, you dig up information, you question people, explains Miss McConnell. It can get scary at times, but I don't think about that. Becoming a partner at a private investigation firm is a career choice she never believed was obtainable, but with the good comes the bad. Denises consistent work with people whose relationships have been obliterated for a variety of reasons including infidelity, has negatively affected her love life. Im loyal, real loyal to my boyfriend. I look around, sure, but I couldnt cope with infidelity. There would be too much guilt built up inside me, explains our Miss March 1979. Also, if someone approaches me the wrong way, I immediately dislike him. I want to be respected, not toyed with simply because Im pretty. Denise is a gorgeous woman who may be shy and timid, but one thing she refuses to accept is being underestimated. People think just because Im soft-spoken that I dont have a temper. I do keep things bottled inside me, but when I blow, I really blow, she says very sternly. Denise McConnell is a private eye, our Miss March 1979 and, above all else, shes a woman with the quiet strength of a crouching tiger.
