Jennifer Pershing

Rock out with Jennifer Pershing, our Playmate of the Month for March 2009. Shes tall 58 and a natural blonde with a pair of piercing blue eyes. I grew up around Atlantic City, New Jersey, she says. I loved everything about it jeans and sneakers, dive bars and late nights with friends on the beach but I knew that I wanted something more. She followed her dreams to Los Angeles, California, where she worked at a mall cosmetic counter until her big break with Playboy. Well, Im really into hair metal, she says. Bon Jovi, Poison, Guns N Roses the whole nine yards. My favorite band, Steel Panther, was playing at the Key Club on the Sunset Strip. The lead singer pulled me onstage, and I flashed the crowd. There happened to be a Playboy rep in the front row, and after the show he approached Jennifer to test for Playmate. I couldnt believe it, she says. One day Im working at a mall, and the next Im on set for Playboy.Jennifer credits her success to The Secret, a popular self-help program based on the power of positive thinking. I know it sounds stupid, she says, but I visualized my success, and a month later I was Miss March. Ask and you shall receive. And between appearances on The Girls Next Door, photo shoots and hosting gigs, Jennifer couldnt ask for more. I never thought I would be able to travel, she says, but this year I went to Australia with Playboy Golf, and South Korea, Taiwan and Japan as a representative of Playboy TV. She may look like a wild child walking down the Strip in a pair of thigh-high leather boots but Jennifer is a small-town girl at heart, and her dream is to start a family. I want to be a stay-at-home mom, and eventually run my own daycare center, she says. From a rock show to a rocking chair, one thing is for sure Jennifer Pershing marches on.
