Patrice Hollis - Playmate Exclusives

Meet Patrice Hollis, our Miss September 2007. She’s an angel in Sin City – that’s Las Vegas, Nevada – with long, dark hair, dark skin and a God-given DDD bust. In Vegas, where fortunes are made and lost in an evening, but not Patrice. She spent her early twenties working with at-risk kids for a local non-profit organization, and she did a little modeling on the side. “I had just started at a new modeling agency,” she says, “and a photographer asked me if I would be interested in Playboy. He submitted my pictures, and a few weeks later, I was called in for a test shoot.” Creative direction on her pictorial was handled by none other than Holly Madison, and in a convertible, a football field, or a romantic hotel room, it was easy to see that Miss Hollis was a natural Playmate. Patrice was a promotional model for Apple Bottoms, and has appeared in music videos for Nelly, Ginuwine, 50 Cent, Brian McKnight and Mary J. Blige. She was featured on The Girls Next Door, Kendra and was a contestant on Jerry Springer’s Baggage, and her new movie, Dirty Dealing, is a heist set in Vegas. She’s an entrepreneur, with a clothing line and storefront, and her number-one goal is to found her own non-profit organization for kids. “I’m not waiting for some NBA player to sweep me off my feet,” she says. “I’m an educated woman, and I want to earn my living. Playboy was a big step for me, and I count my blessings every day.” Count Patrice among our blessings.
