Blonde, blue-eyed Lisa Dergan, who just turned 22, has come a long way in the past couple of years. 4,000 miles, to be exact. This being the distance from her small town in Maine, to Los Angeles, California. It's here in Hollywood that Lisa is pursuing a dual career in modeling and acting. "I've really changed since living here and I think I've learned a lot so far," she says. Lisa Dergan was one of nine children, an example she doesn't plan to follow. "I believe families should be two or three children at most. That way, the parents can actually know what the kids are up to," she says. Being part of such a large family gave her more freedom than most young girls enjoy- maybe too much freedom. "Nobody was paying much attention to what I did," says Lisa. What she did, was take off for Europe at the age of 17 with a friend and partied her ass off. They walked their way across the continent that summer and did tons of crazy things. "To tell you the tuth," says Lisa, "I can't really remember most of it. But I know I had a good time!" But soon the summer was over and it was time for her to return to America and try to get her new modeling career to blossum. Once in LA, Miss Dergan moved in with a bunch of other aspiring models (including future Playmate Katie Lohmann) and hit the streets trying to get work. She got small gigs with beer companies and she did more than her share of auto shows. The work paid well, but ultimately, it was unsatisfying. What Lisa really wanted to be was a Playboy Playmate. "It was my dream since I first saw one of my brother's Playboy magazine," she says. "Those women where all so beautiful and I wanted to be just like them." On a whim, Lisa Dergan sent in some photographs of herself to Playboy. But after a month had passed without a response, she began to give up hope. But then it happened. One day she checked her messages to find a voicemail from Hef himself! He invited her to a Mansion party where she got to meet him and famous Playboy photographer Steven Wayda. They were both so taken by Miss Dergan's natural beauty that they setup a photo shoot right then and there. The rest, as they say, is history. Soon Lisa Dergan was named Miss July of 1998. Her dream had become a reality! A NOTE FROM LISA DERGAN:I was recently named Miss July of 1998. And what a wild ride it's been so far! As I go through my life I'd like to take you along for the ride. It will be a look into the life of a Playboy Playmate who loves what she does. I'll bring you along on sexy photo shoots, backstage events, and as I meet famous people like Sara Jean Underwood! It's going to be a crazy ride, so hang on! I'm so proud to be a member of the Playboy family. I really want to represent women in a positive way just like Playboy has been doing for so long. I come from a close family and they all have been totally supportive of me becoming a Playmate.
I can only imagine what crazy encounters I'll have in the future. Playboy has opened up a whole new world for me and I'll be sharing every moment of it with you, my beloved fans:) |
