Penthouse publicist Lainie Speiser writes me: "I am proud to present my April ’06 Penthouse Pet to you. I discovered her at Webster Hall where she works as a Go-Go dancer and was overwhelmed by her smoldering, exotic good looks. I chased after her with my card and glory be she was into the idea. This is her bio and photo. She went to Catholic school of 14 years and is probably the most “normal” of the young ladies in this industry." I call Krista, who grew up in New York, at 12:15 pm Monday (3/6/06). She steps off a busy New York street and finds a quiet place. She says that as a kid, she wanted to be a veterinarian. "Once I was in highschool, I didn't know what to do. I went to college for a year-and-a-half but I just wanted to continue modeling. "I thought Catholic school was great. It's a love/hate thing. I loved the rules. I hated the rules. I loved the uniform because it made life easier. I'm religious. I thought it was important to be taught that. We were taught religion every day. It was a small, very warm, school." Luke: "How do you reconcile your religion with posing nude?" Krista: "I try not to put the two together. What I do is my job, my art, and my passion. It has nothing to do with me being Catholic. I still have my morals and my beliefs. "I've been modeling and acting for five years. I met Penthouse at a Penthouse lingerie fashion show I went to. We exchanged numbers and pictures and took it from there." Luke: "What do you love and hate about being a nude model?" Krista: "The only thing I hate is that people automatically judge you and put you into a stereotype. But this is my job. It doesn't have anything to do with who I am. "The reason I love it is that I think the magazine has become very tasteful. The girls are very beautiful. I'm happy to be part of it. "I have a boyfriend. He's very supportive. The only way it could affect my love life is people wanting to be with me just because of what I do. With the nude pictures, people could not take as much time to really get to know me and just judge me by what I look like." Luke: "How have all your years of modeling affected you?" Krista: "It's made me wiser. It educated me. It showed me how to trust people and to be aware and educated on the business. Sometimes it is not about the money, it's about the exposure and the networking." Luke: "How has it affected you that you make your living from your looks?" Krista: "I am appreciative that I am able to make my living off my looks. It's also personality. You still have to be a businessperson. You have to know how to play the game. A lot of companies don't only want a pretty face. They want somebody who can represent them." Here's Lainie publicity release:
