AMOREMAGAZINE.COM PODCAST TALKS POKEMON, SUPER-POWERS, CELEBRITY CRUSHES, AND PICK-UP LINES WITH PLAYBOY PLAYMATE, MISS JUNE 2012 AMELIA TALON

Amelia Talon caught the eye of Hef after testing for Playboy and appeared in several of the brand's special editions; It wasn't long before she was named Miss June 2012.

The 22 year-old is a self-professed "gaming-geekette" she even has a Pokémon Poké Ball tattoo on the nape of her neck. When it comes to video games her favorites include, World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. She said of her geekette gaming image in a press release from Playboy, “I wasn’t sexy when I was younger.  I was the artsy goth girl in the corner.  But now look at me: I’m a successful model and Playmate. I feel like the ugly duckling who has turned into a swan.”

She may now be that swan in Playboy -- kicking butt in video games is what makes her the ultimate girl next door!

PLAYBOY PLAYMATE MISS FEBRUARY 2012, LEOLA BELL LIVES IN BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA WHERE SHE STUDIED PSYCHOLOGY AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY. SHE FIRST STARTED REPRESENTING PLAYBOY ON THE PLAYBOY GOLF CIRCUIT.

Leola Bell is many things when it comes to Playboy having first worked for the iconic brand in the Playboy Golf circuit that led her on a visit to the mansion. Soon after, she tested for Playmate where she must have scored a hole in one with Hef who picked her as Miss February 2012.

With February being the month of "amore," having Valentine's Day be one of Leola's personal favorite holidays it's only fitting, “I love Valentine’s Day, it’s such a fun holiday … But I never need an excuse to go out to dinner and share a bottle of wine with the man I love. That’s the kind of night I live for!,” she says.

The 27 year-old grew up in Rockville, Maryland as the daughter of a Seventh-Day Adventist minister. Though she had deep respect for her faith, her dream was to become a playmate. A far cry from what her religious roots would allow.

Leola now makes her home in Florida where she studied psychology at Florida Atlantic University, but it's not your mind she wants to get into (only with her looks.) Her future dream after promoting Playboy as a Playmate and modeling is to open a cat shelter. That's where she will be able to care for the cute little critters and provide them to loving families.

Of course, cats are her future, but for right now she wants to surround herself with bunnies, and we can't blame her, after all, bunnies are pretty darn cute too!

THIS SMALL-TOWN BELLE IS A THIRD-YEAR NURSING STUDENT AND WAS DISCOVERED BY ATTENDING A PLAYBOY CASTING CALL LAST YEAR IN DALLAS.

Rainy Day Jordan might be her name, but you'd never describe her as gloomy - rather, her days are filled with loving life, being happy, and excitement especially since being named Playboy's Miss December 2011. This small-town southern bell comes complete with the accent you'd expect from a girl from Abilene, Texas.

When it comes to her name there's sort of a back-story to it, saying in her profile,  "My mom is Windi, my aunt is Dusti, and my great-aunt is Sandy. It's a farm thing.'" 

The 20 year-old third-year nursing student became a playmate after she attended a casting call in Dallas.

So was she nervous when it came time to take her clothes off for the photo-shoot?

“I was never nervous about getting naked for my test shoots, because that’s why I wanted to pose in the first place,” she says. “Anybody can look good with their clothes on, but not everybody can take pictures with their clothes off.”

And when it comes to the latter, for Rainy - we couldn't agree more.

“This is the best Christmas present a girl could ever receive!” she says with a smile.

A present we're sure Santa was happy to bring her... and the rest of the Playboy readers.

PLAYBOY PLAYMATE MISS NOVEMBER 2011, CIARA PRICE IS ONLY THE SECOND PLAYMATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE MEN'S MAGAZINE TO BE FROM MAINE. SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW PLAYMATES TO GRACE THE COVER OF AN ISSUE.

 It's not often that a Playmate is chosen for a particular month, let alone selected for the cover of the same issue. It's also not often that a Playmate is from the State of Maine - yet in the November issue not only is the Playmate, but she graces the cover. (above)  Now, Ciara can claim that honor along with such other notable celebrities as Pamela Anderson , Jenny McCarthy, and Marilyn Monroe. Even more unique, is the fact that she is only the second Playmate to be from the Pine Tree State. (First was Mei-Ling Lam, June 2011)

The blonde-haired, hazel-eyed beauty was working for Verizon Wireless in Portland, Maine and in her spare-time enjoyed photography. A friend of hers, who is a professional photographer saw that she also had a natural talent for posing in front of the camera as well. It was that motivation that allowed her friend to submit photos to the legendary men's magazine - the rest is history, and with an appeal so grand it had to include the cover. She now wants to be a role model for other females. “I want to prove that it’s okay for a woman to feel comfortable in her own skin,” she explains.

Now that she has the spotlight on her, she is taking every opportunity to put her starlet status to promoting causes near and dear to her heart. She has teamed up with Playboy to raise money for breast cancer by joining the Bunnies for the Cure Team, a group of more than 20 Playmates that will participate in the Race for the Cure in Los Angeles on March 24, 2012.

The self-proclaimed "nerd" enjoys technology and computers saying in her magazine profile, "I was the only girl in my computer class, and because tech talk is like a competition, the guys loved that I could keep up with them." She's not all geekette, having excelled in dance at a young age as well.

The 21 year-old is now set to move to Los Angeles where she can pursue her dreams of being behind and in front of the camera; something tells us she might be spending more time in front though.

Amanda Cerny is a southern girl at heart - having grown up in Stuart, Florida, she currently attends Florida State University where she is studying International Affairs. So you could assume that posing for Playboy was the last thing on her mind.

However, the 20 year-old wasn't shy in-front of the camera having fallen in love with modeling at the age of 15. The story of how she found the pages of the October issue of Playboy is a unique one. Her hometown friends Curt & Colin Facebook chatted her at the same time, telling her to submit her photos to Playboy because a fellow high school friend of theirs Kelly Carrington (Miss October 2008) had done the same thing and became a playmate.

Call it fate, because it worked, and when Amanda found out she was going to become a playmate, she describes in her bio-

I remember just running up and down the street screaming with joy when I heard the amazing news. (no one was home to talk to and nobody was picking up their phones at the time either.. haha)

Excited she is, as she is currently traveling the world - having just returned from Europe and is now stateside where she's been everywhere from a college football game in Tallahassee, FL to a magazine signing in Las Vegas promoting her issue.

One place she does want to travel to soon is Haiti to promote Discovering Haiti, a new development project her friend started to help the Haitian economy get back on its feet.

This gal loves high adventure and lives by a famous quote from Dr. Seuss-

‘If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.”

And right now, Amanda is having all the fun she possibly can!
