4/7/2010 Recently worked with a client who does not cook. My client successfully lost 40 pounds in six weeks following the diet I created for him. Walking three blocks, 5-6 days per week as well as push-ups, sit-ups and helped with his success. If you would like to try it and are a Member of my website you can find the diet on the Healthy Living page. Ask if you have questions.
2/19/2010 New bangs. Still working on new videos. More snow and cold this winter than normal. Bought a treadmill to keep up. 11/30 In the Pictures flip section added pics from last winter's ice storm, deer from the farm, a beautiful sunset I had the pleasure to see on my last visit to Malibu and a pic of a few of the deer which run through the farm . The farm was without electricity for 11 days during the ice storm, lots of trees were damaged and the freeze set back lettuce production considerably. 10/10/2009 Five years ago this month I was in LA shooting for my pictorial, Playmate March 2005. Thank you for your continued support.

Doing to little work with Playboy, going to Hef's Halloween party on Saturday (I will dress as a character from a movie) and hope to catch up with friends...... 10/13 Went to see Rascal Flatts with my friends from Washington. Spent September traveling with Playboy Energy we were at a different club/bar each night. One of my favorite clubs made mojitos on an ice bar with fresh mint and cucumbers.
9/20/2007 Added an official MySpace Page http://www.MySpace.com/JillianGracedotnet I was not going to participate in MySpace as I wanted to devote my time to this website but people kept pretending to be me - so if you can't beat them.... I am ready to take this site to the next level over the next few weeks.
9/11/2007 If you are a member of my site check out the Healthy Living page. I have added a Monday – Friday log of my fitness routine and will continue to add healthy tip facts .

Remember to give the Flip Photos five seconds or so to load when you have finished watching click back.

Last Monday’s audition; I was not right for the role. I am off to Vegas to celebrate Hef’s b-day…. 3/21 Monday I had an audition. It was a taped audition, have not heard back, yet. I still get nervous at auditions. I have a different audition tomorrow……….. Gas prices here are $3.15 + per gallon. 3/11 Photo from an appearance at Harrah’s in St Louis. Myself, step father, Mom, and Shallan Meiers (September 2002). It is always good to go home

1/16/2007 Had a photo shoot for Planet Hollywood. First time I have worn wigs and lots of clothes for a photo shoot.
12/21/2006 Thank you to everyone who has been supportive. JillianGrace.net clicked to 2,000,000 hits today - can you believe it?!!!
12/6/2006 I had a one day shoot with the director and crew of The Comebacks. I do not want to give away any parts of the film - a few new experiences for me.
12/1/2006 Epic Movie is scheduled to release January 26, 2007. Check out http://www.epicmoviethemovie.com look in the gallery section for a photo of me. I have on a black bikini standing to the far left of the pirate.
11/21/2006 I got my first cover the 2007 Playmate Swimsuit Calendar. Home for the holiday, was walking through the mall, stopped by a little kiosk to check out the calendars and there I was on the cover - kind of cool for me. Mom bought three.
11/6/2006 Today I have a second call back...... I am very nervous and excited as well. 11/01 I got a call back for the role I auditioned for earlier in the week!!!! Cross your fingers for me I would so enjoy working on this project. Photo from Hef's annual Halloween party. I went as a Jack O Lantern far left, Kara, Allison and Sara. The Halloween party is my favorite as there is so much to do from the haunted house, fortune tellers and much much more. 10/30 I had an audition today for a role that could be a lot of fun and creative. The bonus, traffic was not bad and the fee to park for the audition was minimal. Let’s hope I am what Casting is seeking. Happy Halloween! 10/23 Going to pumpkin carving night with Holly and the Girls. Later in the week going to Hef’s annual Halloween party. I am working as a personal trainer and keeping my eyes open for a good opportunity. Go Cards!
8/11/2006 I had the opportunity to work as a “featured extra” for the filming of the 100th episode of CSI-Miami (due to air October this year). The location was luxurious. I met Omar Gooding; he is very funny. So if you look closely you may see me. I am wearing a silver bikini with brown trim.
7/25/2006 I got the part!!! "Bob Bailey" aka "Epic Movie" due out early 2007.
4/29/2006 I had the pleasure of wearing my Bunny Costume for the first time for a charity event at PBW. The costume was fitted to my exact measurements. When I first became a Playmate I thought I would automatically receive the bunny costume and ears. The reality - I am not 21 and a lot of the events in which Playmates wear the costume I was not able to work due to my age. After 13 months of waiting it was a great thrill to wear my costume for the first time! My initial attraction to Playboy was the bunny costume. I did not even know there was a magazine at the time. When I learned about the magazine from my friends at middle school, I was a little shocked considering I was 12. I came home from school to tell my mom since she had not mentioned it the day before when we watched "A Tale of Two Bunnies." Her response it was art. (the day before I saw the women wearing the bunny costumes and said to her I want to do that when I grow up and she told me she did not think Playboy had clubs anymore) I could be a waitress if I wanted. I wanted to wear the bunny costume. At that point in my life I was also considering becoming a doctor, a science teacher, a physical education teacher or a swimming coach. Her response to each was the same to check into the career choice and get back to her. That's exactly what I did for 6 years every time I would come back to her with why I wanted to do each career she would say consider this and if you make that choice consider that - and what would you do next and then what.... I researched Playboy, Hef, freedom of speech and press, the education system and the health care industry. Finding my own place as a model was the direction that I wanted to take. It fit my personality and I have a message. My senior year in high school I wrote a paper for a college credit class I was taking on my dream job; listing Playboy, modeling, becoming a personal trainer and owning my own gym with one complementing the other - which lead to my mom sending in her letter to Howard Stern.... Mom says it was at that point she gave up trying to offer me another direction when the only argument she could come up with was that other people may not approve if you begin a career by posing nude(because she so did not raise me to make decisions based on someone else's thought).
4/16/2006 Attend Hef’s Easter day event. It was so cool to get an Easter basket from Hef with some of my favorite chocolates. Over 150 children were there to hunt eggs. 4/08 Hef’s 80th birthday party was huge. Bridgett jumped out of a cake. Many of the older Playmates attended as well, it was fun see new faces. I saw Donald Trump at the mansion party with his daughter.
3/27/2006 Went to NYC to appear on the Howard Stern show at the new Sirius studio. I had the opportunity to visit with Gary in the green room before the show. He is funny as well. I can see why he has stayed with the show for so long. Most asked question this week, ok maybe this year, has been if I am PMOY for 2006. The answer is NO. Hef ultimately chooses each Playmate of the Year regardless of the fan vote. Although I would have been honored to have been selected to represent Playboy as the Playmate of the Year 2006, I respect Hef’s decision. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I am not the girl who wins. It was my dream to become a Playmate. I have lived my dream. It is my hope to continue the journey and make a positive impact. Photo with Pilar Lastra and myself in the green room at Howard's.
3/23/2006 What have I been doing? There have been an extra 20 women staying at the mansion and the bunny house for a photo shoot this last week. The women are from several different countries. I have been taping for “The Playmate Hour.” Hef’s 80th birthday party, and the annual Easter egg hunt here at the mansion. Easter is my favorite holiday. I am looking forward to all the activities. It will be the first time I have been at Hef’s for the event.
3/14/2006 Today my first radio show airs on Sirius Radio channel 198 “The Playmate Hour.”
2/18/2006 Home for a visit, going to a friend's baby show. Be careful what you ask for, I have been missing the Missouri winter now I am home and it is burrrrrr but I am liking it. Crazy, crazy last few weeks for me. I have been working on the new radio show for Playboy radio. I have started swimming again - the best exercise. Finished with my voice over classes. I have a part time job. It is my first time to work retail. I find it amazing that people wait till Valentines day to purchase a present for that day. I am the person who is thinking about what I will have ready for the person I am shopping for weeks ahead of time. Maybe it is because I work within a budget and planning is necessary or maybe it is because I like to shop. All the same I am thankful that others came out to shop where I work. I can not imagine what Christmas will be like. Photo from the Mardi Gras party seating from the left Stacey Burke, Bridgett, Me in my tiniest costume to date, and Holly. I'll add a video to the Membership to Fun section on Wednesday.
2/8/2006 Several months ago I was in the Playboy studios for business when it was being discussed that Playboy Radio would move to Sirius Satellite Radio. I mentioned that it would be cool to have a Playmate’s perspective on Playboy Radio. The next thing I knew Playboy was holding auditions looking for a host for "my idea." After sweating a couple of auditions and a few test shows, the show “The Playmate Hour” will air 10 AM pacific time. I will be the co host, reporting Playmate News, the parties at the mansion speaking with other Playmates and answering emails Monday-Friday. I am so excited to have this opportunity! Hope you will tune into the show.
1/10/2006 Photo to the left - Me getting ready to go to Hef's New Years Eve party. Most often asked question this last week: What are my goals for 2006? I started in a class studying voice to develop my “signature” voice. I am exploring different fitness classes and gyms. I recently finished continuing education to complement certified personal training in flexibility and nutrition/weight management that I would like to use practically. I hope to have the opportunity to work with a few more gifted photographers. And I would like to nail a contract that uses my creative energy and pays my bills.
11/28/2005 Listened to Aerosmith and other tunes in the studio with Favazz at 94.7 KSHE, St Louis. Favazz introduced me to the song with Santana & Steven Tyler - loved it. And I stopped by the Thom and Jeff show on the Point 105.7, St Louis. It was their first show together, I was honored to be their guest, lots of fun and good music. 11/23 Stopped by the Dave Glover show today, 97.1 St Louis. Always a pleasure to see Dave, Tom and Pig Pen. Guitar Dave from killervintage.com was in the studio as well as Mickey Carroll original Munchkin from the "The Wizard of OZ." 11/22 Added the 2006 Playboy Swimsuit Calendar to the Store section of this site and Guitar World's Holiday Buyers Guide. Home for the holidays. 11/18 UPDATE: Pauly = old news, no disrespect to him intended. Most often asked questions this week: Yes, I read my emails. If you get an answer it is from me. I am unable to reply to each. I do appreciate the words of encouragement.11/10 I visited the RMS Queen Mary ship and the Marilyn Monroe Exhibit with Hef and the Girls, one of the coolest things I have done. The ship is haunted. I never thought I would believe in ghost but after this experience I am a believer!!!!!!! It was so neat I plan to go back again.

Bob Costas came into World News while we were filming and I had the pleasure to meet him. 10/08 At the Wildlife Waystation PMW 05 Fundraiser I signed my first Braille copy of my issue of Playboy.

Often asked question: The Weezer video "Beverly Hills" was shot before my time as a Playmate, I am not in it. *
8/14/2005 Often asked question about last night’s “The Girls Next Door” show: Yes, I am putting on sun block in this episode and the first one to jump off the top of the Grotto and perhaps a few other episodes to come. 8/12 Just for Fun check out a video exclusive from the Mid Summer’s Night Dream Party www.Playboy.com then click on the World of Playboy tab, then Mid Summer’s Night photo –look to the right for the Video Exclusive of what it takes to date a Playmate – I am on near the end of the clip, please remember it was a party and I was just having fun! 8/04 back to LA MidSummers Night Dream Party is Saturday - it is suspose to be the biggest party at Hef's.

6/30/2005 June was very eventful for me. Photo to the the left with Amanda, myself and Tiffany in Hef's limo on our way with Hef and the girls to the AFI awards show honoring George Lucas. I also had the opportunity to attend the 2005 Jazz Festival sponsored by Playboy at the Hollywood Bowl. 6/18 To see a couple more fun photos go to www.wireimage.com then type Jillian Grace in the search box. Often asked question - "What about the video?" Each Playmate shoots a video, mine was shot in December before my 19th birthday. It should be released together with the other Playmates from 2005 at the end of the year. To see clips from my the video, if you are over 18, www.Playboy.com then if you are a cyberclub member click on cyber club, click on Playmate and click onto Playmate Video Jukebox, 1/2 way down the page click on "Miss March." The video was fun and my favorite part of the process!
6/17/2005 Friday should be a busy day. I have two auditions. Still no final word back if the details can be worked out for the other projects. 6/16 I was offered the part from Monday's call back. The shooting dates may conflict with a photo shoot I had previously scheduled. 6/12 Not sure if the details can be worked out for the movie project I had originally audition for in May. I had another audition Thursday and will go to a call back Monday. Wish me luck. Shot a bulls eye the first time out with a hand gun - target shooting with my step father (this maybe my new hobby). 6/03 I was offered the part for the horror film I audition for in May!
6/1/2005 Fun in the Sun at Hef’s mansion. I spent Memorial Day lying by the pool with Hef, Holly, Bridgett, Kendra, the girls and a few of Hef’s dear friends. I have not heard back about either audition although I remain hopeful that the next one will be right for me. I am missing the BBQ from home....
5/20/2005 I have an audition on Saturday for a horror film. 5/08 Home for Mother's Day! 5/05 Attended Playmate of the Year Party, today. Congrats Tiffany! I have received "some" e mails from loyal fans disappointed that I had not be selected. You guys are so sweet!!!!! 2005 Playmate of the Year is selected from last years 2004 Playmates. 2006 PMOY will be selected from this years's Playmates.
4/25/2005 1800 miles of driving, I made it! My car now has 134,000 + miles on the odometer. Driving through the high winds in New Mexico was my least favorite part. I stayed overnight in the cute town of Williams, Arizona. Driving on the freeways in LA is intimidating. In Missouri you can drive to a grocery store and park in the lot next to the store; it’s easy and free. In LA parking is a bit more complicated but I am getting the hang of it. *Thank you to JetLiner for the CD and inviting me to see your group at the Roxy - great show* 4/02 The White Rose Benefit for the Alexander & Wheeler Children with Field of Grey.
4/18/2005 I am traveling, in my little Honda, across the country to LA to pursue acting! I went to Prom, this past weekend, with a friend in my hometown. It was good to see everyone at the field party, afterwards. Most often asked question: I am not currently dating anyone.

I just ask that you include a name so that it can be personal. Photo from my last trip to LA - feeding my favorite bird at Hef's. I met with one of the producers of the project (the script that I received) and his friend/agent while I was there. The project is still in the developmental stages. For anyone who is freaking now, the meeting was in a safe public location and I was not alone. I will report back should I receive more details. My commercial audition did not happen due to scheduling conflicts. I had the pleasure of meeting with an agency that I hope to sign with later this week.

I will report back should I receive good news. Thank you for your support. One of the most asked questions: how do you get into Playboy? If you are over 18 look in the back of the magazine or on line, mail a couple of photos and good luck. You will not know if you do not try.

1/1/2005 Happy New Year! Off to LA for the New Years Eve party at the Playboy mansion. The invitation reads Black Tie or Lingerie, guess which I am wearing. Happy Holidays! December 2004 - I am home after shooting a video with Playboy. I thought I would be nervous but once the camera started rolling, it seemed to come natural. There were several scenes, an interview and some behind the scenes footage. I had the opportunity to drive around the LA area, it is a different world compared to Missouri (20 degrees today, here at home). I also had the opportunity to meet two new Playmates for 2005, real dolls. Hanging out with Hef and the girls is always a blast! Hef is a true gentleman, lots of fun and a sweet heart. I am still working on learning to drive a stick shift. I had my tonsils taken out and turned 19. 10/30/2004 Halloween at Hef's - Hollywood and more. For photos click on www.Playboy.com, then on events... 10/25/2004 I appeared on the Howard Stern Radio show. Kevin Kuster the Senior Editor from Playboy announced that I will be March 2005 Playmate. This is a dream come true for me! Thank you to Howard, Robin, Artie, Gary, Fred, Will, Doug, Isaac and the entire staff for allowing me to take this step on the show. I had the pleasure of touring the NYC Playboy offices after the show. 9/28/2004 My first trip to California - Hef was a gracious host. I met Holly, Bridgett, Kendra, Stacy Burke and the future Miss January. I also met Kato, John Lovitz, and Julie McCullough at the mansion. My first limo ride was to my first club with Hef and the girls. Hef is a great dancer and really knows how to show a girl a good time. We danced the night away at Club Bliss. Kendra and Miss January 2005 took me to the Santa Monica pier. The kitchen staff is available 24 hours per day. I swam in the Grotto with the “Girls”, stayed in the guest house, and fed the monkeys grapes. The most surprising thing to me was the exotic birds that run around let me pet them. Arny Freytag photographed my centerfold shot. It was an exacting process. Marilyn Grabowski made sure everything was perfect. Hef will make the final decision if and when the photo is published. I hope Hef invites me back soon. Home from LA - I arrived home from LA, yesterday. Wow! I have “home town” photos to shoot with Playboy the next few days. 9/14/2004 Centerfold Shoot - I am off to LA to pose for my centerfold. I will stay at the mansion. This is my first trip to California. 9/13/2004 Certified Personal Trainer - I obtained my National Council of Strength & Fitness Personal Trainer Certification, after a lot of studying and passing a national test. 8/31/2004Playboy phoned today! I have been officially selected as a Playmate candidate. The next step is the process of the actual centerfold. Words can not express my excitement! 8/23/2004 College - I started college classes today, could not pass up the opportunity of a Missouri A+ scholarship. What does an aspiring Playmate study? For this semester, I chose; Stagecraft Makeup, Photography, Aerobic Dance, Intro to Physical Education, Student Success, and Literature for Children. Not a grueling schedule but it does satisfy full time status and leaves room for potential interviews or appearances. 8/12/2004 Playboy Test Shoot on the E! Channel. For me, it was a long wait from the Howard Stern Radio show till the shoot. I had no idea what to expect. My test shoot with Playboy was at the beginning of the month. I had a blast! Everyone at Playboy treated me like a Princess. Isaac Mark and Doug Goodstein from the E! Channel shot footage while I was at Playboy, it aired August 12, on Howard Stern’s TV Show.6/25/2004 Howard Stern Radio Show - I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to appear on the Howard Stern Radio Show for a Playmate evaluation. Yes, Howard is a nice guy. You must applaud a man who pursues a career with his own rules. Kevin Kuster, a photo editor from Playboy, invited me to Chicago for a test shoot. Robin was even more beautiful in person. Artie was fun to watch. I hope to see his comedy act live, someday. Ralph looked to point out negative but had a few positive comments; and he said nice things about my mom. Gary, Will, Doug, Isaac, Jason, Fred, KC and the entire staff were so kind to me. For the record what I find the sexiest about Howard Stern is his voice and that he is a one-woman-man. June 2004 www.JillianGrace.net -My original web site was a graduation present. It went live a few days before I left for NYC to appear on the Howard Stern show. Prior to my departure the site had 40 hits, mainly from friends and family. It is a work in progress, will expand and grow as my career progresses. I have many wild ideas, so please, stay tuned. I appreciate your support.
