Kristine Lefebvre is proud of her upcoming pictorial in Playboy.
As she ought to be.
The former contestant on The Apprentice is both beautiful and charitable; she’s posing in the magazine to help raise awareness for cervical cancer, of which she is a survivor.
Before she joins the ranks of Holly Madison nude and other well-known centerfolds, though, Lefebvre is blogging about how the relationship with Playboy has developed and what it was like to strip down to her birthday suit for all to see …
I have had a long standing professional relationship with the business people at Playboy. I have negotiated deal for a number of celebrities … After learning I was a contestant on The Apprentice Los Angeles, Marilyn Grabowski, the West Coast Editor, had suggested that Playboy do a pictorial on me.
It was a personal phone call from Hugh Hefner that made my decision easy … Mr. Hefner told me that he really hoped we were going to be able to work out an arrangement for me to appear in Playboy. That was all it took. I have so much respect for Mr. Hefner, he has truly created a piece of “Americana.”
I loved my shoot. Steve Wayda is an amazing photographer and has a keen ability to capture the essence of a woman. Everyone at Playboy was wonderful and I hope you will enjoy the “great article” when the issue hits newsstands on Friday, May 4th.
The Hollywood Gossip staff is certainly excited about it. We’ve grown really sick of staring at David Beckham nude.
