Conservative Dress

Clothed in a skirt that may get her arrested in
Charlottesville, Miss Wilson told The Cavalier
Daily that she has dressed more conservatively
since an unfortunate incident in Atlanta.

"I was wearing a bright pink form-fitting
dress, shorter than this," she said, pointing to her
thigh, "and I had on pink shoes and a pink bow in
my hair, and the dress had the Playboy bunny on
it." She continued, "Actually I was dressed quite
conservatively for Los Angeles, but the people in
Atlanta didn't think so, so now I try to dress
more conservatively!"

Not everyone approves of her career as a
playmate. "My 12-year old sister doesn't like it at
all. She's very conservative."

Her nine-year old brother is a different story.
"He pins my pictures on the wall and he also has a

subscription to 'Playboy.' " She continued, "He
even watches me model in a bathing suit and
whistles at me. When he came to visit me in Los
Angeles, he told me, 'There sure are a lot of
good-looking chicks out here.' "

Later, after her two-year contract with
Playboy is up, Miss Wilson expects to go to
Europe and become a model and possibly a
clothes designer. She has appeared on about a
dozen television shows, such as laugh-In. Dean
Martin, and Big Valley, "but I'm more interested
in clothes than acting," she said.

Will she be disappointed when her career as an
employee of Playboy is over:

"No, I look at it as a fortunate event on my
part," said Miss Wilson. "But it will be really neat
after I get married and have kids and be able to
tell them that I was a playmate."

She said that she had no prescribed rules to
follow while doing promotional tours. "I'm just
supposed to be myself," she smiled. "But I'm not
supposed to get drunk and pass out or anything
like that," she added. Anyone would probably
agree that herself is plenty, especially at a place
where playmates are as rare as pot parties in the
Rotunda.

Miss Wilson is beautiful, personable, and in
her own words, "a normal, healthy girl."

And the girl from Missoula who made it big
will be around all weekend, as definitely one of
the highlights of Homecoming.
