Nebraska native Lindsay Wagner got noticed by Playboy when a friend sent her pictures to the magazine. The next thing she knew, she was on a flight to Los Angeles for a Playmate test shoot. It was her first time out of Nebraska and she had never even been on an airplane before, so it was quite the adventure.

Once in front of the camera, she blossomed. "I thought I'd never make Playmate in a million years," she says. "I'm confident in the way I look, but you know how girls sometimes have the feeling they're not good enough to accomplish something? When the shoot began, though, I was really comfortable shooting nude and it went so well that I didn't want it to ever end."
