LOS ANGELES, CA —Holly Madison began her career as a Hooters server but the 27-year-old blonde is known now for being Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door, an E! reality series about life in the Playboy Mansion as seen by Hefner’s three girlfriends. Madison has now added the title junior photo editor to her resume, taking that position on at Playboy.Back in April, Madison seized the opportunity to become a photo editor apprentice under the tutelage of Playboy‘s legendary west coast editor, Marilyn Grabowski in the episode of The Girls Next Door entitled “My Bare Lady.” She helped design and put together the girls’ 2007 The Girls Next Door calendar, and after months of training, she got promoted.
In 2003, Madison shot a pictorial for Cyber Girl of the Week, a feature of the Playboy website. She also appeared on the cover and inside of the November 2005 issue of Playboy magazine, along with costars, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, as part of a special pictorial promoting The Girls Next Door. Madison, together with the two girls, was featured once again in the September 2006 issue of Playboy.
According to Madison, she is looking forward to making some changes to the magazine’s content in her new capacity as junior photo editor.
“I think readers are sick of seeing the same cookie-cutter blondes,” blonde Madison told Page Six. “I’m looking for natural bodies. I pay attention to what readers write in – and they do like to see diversity.”
