As much as I enjoyed all of the traveling, it was sooo nice to be home!! There is so much to get caught up on when you are gone for a while, but one thing I couldn’t wait to do was to get together with some of my friends that were able to join me on some of my excursions. I invited Sara Underwood, Cara Zavaleta, Amber Campisi and Pilar Lastra to join me for lunch at Geoffrey’s in Malibu to share pictures, memorabilia and stories from our trips!!

We started out with peach Bellini’s and worked our way into appetizers while Sara and I discussed our Croatia experience from cliff jumping to skinny-dipping! We talked about our cute Croatian tour guide, the cool Golden Horn beach in Brac and the beautiful terrace bar at sunset.

Another peach Bellini and some salad and Cara and I were talking about our adventures in Thailand including my scary parasailing mishap. There were so many adventures in Thailand from rock climbing, riding elephants, snake charmers, Thai cooking, boxing and massage — even the tuk tuk’s were an adventure!! Cara brought memorabilia from Fantasea! She brought the little stuffed animal she won at the adult theme park, which brought up memories of how we got to dress up in the traditional Thai dress and people actually thought we worked at the park and lined up for pictures with us!!! LOL! So much fun!

The entrees were arriving and that called for one more peach Bellini as we talked about some of the other trips I had been on and I shared pictures and fun stories. By the end of lunch Amber and I were discussing our adventures in Costa Rica, especially the rainforest at the base of the volcano in Arenal. It was so incredible there. I still rave about it to everyone. The 90-degree hot springs, water falls and the tropical jungle made for the setting of true paradise … not to mention all of the spa treatments we got as well!! Total Bliss!

Sobering up now with dessert and coffee, we were finally winding our way to the last trip I took with Pilar to Morocco. We talked about how exotic the land was, including the food. We talked about trying pigeon and camel and actually liking it! Taking belly dancing lessons, riding camels on the beach, smoking the shisha, trying mint tea and shopping in the medina. When you sit down and re-live all of the experiences like that, it is hard for even me to believe that I went to all of those places and did all of those things!!!

Lastly we talked about all of the places I would like to go next — such as Brazil, Greece, South of France, South Africa, Dubai, Italy, and many, many other places! We even talked about the possibility of doing a group trip to the Hamptons or something!! Wow!! Look out world, the 5 of us together? Now that would be trouble … but so much fun!

Thanks for joining me on all my travels! See you next time, but for now … Back to the Beach!

Happy Mothers Day Everyone! How cute is it for KDub to post a nice little blog for her mom. Today I have the day off work and the Gallery is getting completely revamped. I am going to be uploading pictures till early hours in the morning so check it out later. We also have another surprise… The Playboy Club is the name.

Mother’s Day, one of my faaaavorite holidays is just around the corner so i wanted to take the time to give a lil shout out to my mom!!! i have one of the best mothers in the ENTIRE world and i wouldn’t be who i am today without her. i wanted to share with you all what i think are the most important traits my mom passed on to me!

Top 5 Things I Got from my Mom:
1) Dont take any SHIT from a man
2) My laugh
3) Love of football
4) Respect
5) To always say whats on my mind

I’d say #3 is the most important, wouldnt you??? hahaha

What traits did you guys get from your moms???

We all know Kendra and her mom have a close relationship. You can easily tell that from watching any episode that features her in The Original Girls Next Door. So it is cute to see Kendra giving her mom a little shoutout from her blog. So what is your answer to her blog?

Recently hank and i visited his hometown of Clovis, New Mexico for a golf tournament and basketball game, both of which benefitted the Oasis Children’s Advocacy Center where his dad has worked for years. The center heals and rehabilitates kids who are victims of child abuse. This is the second year that hank has done the golf tournament and hes really tried to keep it running because the kids need it, especially since child abuse has been rising recently and the kids need somewhere to go for support and counseling and just to have someone to talk to and comfort them.

To kick off the golf tournament, hank’s dad gave a speech basically saying if you do good or bad in the tournament, you’re out there for the kids, and every swing is helping a child! Its so sad…they have had more cases of child abuse brought in recently than ever before. It was just awful! Poor innocent kids being abused, not only by strangers, but by their family members.

Going to something like this made me realize that you see a million PETA ads out there talking about poor, defenseless animals, and yeah im all about animal rights, but what about ads to bring awareness to the poor defenseless children that are being hurt?!?!? Seeing the grown men talking about the kids they’ve worked with over the years and crying just broke my heart!

On a lighter note, hank and i also visited the air force base where his mom works and then we had a barbeque at his parents’ house and his dad was the grill master! I love getting to spend time with hank and his family It was just a whole big charity/family weekend!!

What more do you guys think can be done to help stop child abuse?

Kendra & Hank recently went back to where Hank was brought up, Clovis New Mexico to take part in a golf tournament and basketball game in support Oasis Children’s Advocacy Center.
Dont you think these guys are just so cute. They look so in love and its great. I’m glad to see them out and spending lots of time together. Check out the gallery to see what i mean. 23 Pictures in total.

Here are some pics from when me n hank went to cabo a while back. We had soooooo much fun and it was also the first time we said i love you which definitely made it one of the best vacations of my life!!! <3

We rode four-wheelers, which was one of the highlights of the trip! We also went off-roading. I love doing those kinds of things..yeeeeah im crazy like that hahahaha!!!

The story behind hank’s and my i love you’s is definitely a good one! We were in cabo for a couple days and he told me he loved me two days before i told him. We were staying at the ME cabo resort and we were sitting out on the balcony and out of no where he just looked at me and told me he loved me!!! I was just like OH MY GOD and i didn’t know what to say. I was speechless!!!! Poor guy haha.

Two days later we went parasailing. The 2 of us were up in the air and i was sooo scared and i just told him to look at me, and at that very moment i told him i loved him!!!! and the rest is history haha!

What’s your best “I LOVE YOU” story???

Ok first of all I actually posted something on time! haha. Second… Kendra I love you! but you are getting married very soon and you have just said I Love You? Wow! I am glad you both said it though you really look good together in these photos, Very comfertable. Go to the gallery to have a look.

Its hard being away from Hank…we live on opposite sides of the country, so its really special when we do get to see each other and we love to do fun and exciting things together like taking trips to NYC.

Here are some pics from the designer Robert Graham’s showroom. We got to pick out a ton of stuff for FREE!!!! We were lookin at some outfits for our honeymoon

I cant tell you guys our honeymoon spot yet…can you guess where we’re going????

Ok so this was posted about a week ago on her blog. I will catch up eventually lol I promise. How cute are they together? I love seeing her smile like this. Just a natural content smile. I have added the pictures to the gallery, So go see how cute she looks.

Holly posted the following blog on her myspace about an interview she had this weekend while at a party shooting for the new series of The New Girls Next Door. Coincidentally the reporter happens to be an ex of Criss Angel also Hollys ex. The blog & tweet which the blog was in reponse to have both now been removed.

Vegas Pool Party . . . and a shady character . . lol!
I just threw a pool party for Hef and his new girls on Saturday for Season 6 of Girls Next Door . . . it was totally fun and everybody had a blast. Bridget and Kendra were there as well.
There was a ton of press there. I love the local Vegas press that I have had a chance to work with in the past . . . like the people in Vegas in general they are totally fun and don’t take themselves too seriously. Well, most of them, anyway.
Amidst all the madness was an older but attractive female television reporter wearing a casual but totally cute green, brown and white dress. I complemented her on her outfit and told her it was the perfect choice for a pool party. It was windy and chilly, but, hey, I was trying to sport the next-to-nothing bikini and denim skirt, so I had to give her props for the perfect summer dress.
I was warned that she was the only interviewer who wanted to ask me a question about one of my ex-boyfriends (no-not Hef) but it wasn’t a concern of mine, because this ex is someone I am friends with and have nothing but good feelings and admiration for and i only have good things to say about him. I thought our interview went well. I anticipated the interview to be a light piece of no particular consequence . . . after all, the interviewer had what appeared to be a personal assistant carrying her pocket dog around . . . . sounds like a Girls Next Door fan, right?
Next thing I know, I receive a call from a columnist who heard I slammed the aforementioned reporter’s dress. I was completely surprised, because I remember the instance and told the columnist that I had sincerely meant to complement her dress.
The columnist then tells me that the reporter I supposedly insulted used to date my ex-boyfriend, which made me laugh, because said ex-boyfriend has dated some of the most beautiful, famous women in the world (no, I am NOT including myself in that catagory . . . I am talking about other people . . . lol) so it would have NEVER occurred to me that the reporter was in said company (how I made it in, I am still trying to figure out, jk).
So after I have nothing but nice things to say about the ex-boyfriend, she takes to Twitter, calling me a “bad interview” (totally subject to opinion, but I wouldn’t think so . . . I answered every question she gave me without hesitation) with “strange pink hair extensions” (I guess the last one is fair. Older people might think pink hair extensions are weird.)

She also proceeds to say I was not so sweet to her . . . . come on, why would anyone, who has been on a tv show and doing press for the last 4 years invite press to a party they are throwing to not be nice to them? We are all trying to work together, here. Frankly, I think it’s a case of someone desperate for ratings trying to start a bunch of gossip to get her name in the papers.

You tell them Holly, I think someone is jealous. She looked beautiful by the way didn’t she?
