Kendra Wilkinson wasn't always the busty beauty she now appears to be. The San Diego native was just 18 when she was suddenly and inexplicably struck with the desire to get breast implants. "I don't know why I wanted them but I did," she says. It proved to be a fateful decision. Soon after her operation, Kendra was approached by a photographer who splashed bikini photos of the blonde bombshell across his website.

Within days, her photos were seen by the Play..boy Mansion's official body painter, and Kendra was promptly invited to become a sexy piece of living art for Hugh Hefner's 78th birthday party. "I first met him at his birthday party," Kendra recalls, "and a month later I officially moved in."

Since joining Hef's harem, Kendra has made guest appearances on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage. She also stars alongside fellow girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt in The Girls Next Door; the top-rated E! reality show presents viewers with an intimate glimpse of the girls' every day lives.

When not appearing on camera, Kendra attends massage therapy school five days a week and aspires to one day become a professional sports announcer. "I don't necessarily enjoy putting on makeup or getting my nails done," she confesses, "but life at the Mansion perfectly suits me. I love watching boxing with Hef and rooting for my favorite football teams."
