Carmella DeCesare Biography

Carmella Danielle DeCesare was born on July 1, 1982, in Avon Lake, Ohio. She had the good fortune of being raised by two caring parents, and her father made a decent living working for UPS. Little did they know (or probably care to) that their little girl would someday become the object of fantasy for millions of men worldwide.

Carmella had a knack for schoolwork and continued her studies after high school. At college, she studied business administration. But beneath a serious demeanor, Carmella longed to be famous. In fact, she had always nursed ambitions of becoming a model. In early 2002, barely 19 years old, she decided that she would have to take the proverbial bull by the horns and make her dream come true.

This special followed playboy magazine's nationwide search for the perfect Miss July. From hundreds of hopeful applicants, the judges honed down the selection to 12, one of whom would go on to take the prize.

It was no surprise that Carmella made it to the final 12. She was so stunning that she dazzled the judges. However, Carmella felt uneasy about the environment. Truth be told, she couldn't stand the ever-present cameras.

Carmella felt that the show was violating her privacy and the producers were displaying a lack of respect toward her. She outright left the production -- leaving her dream behind in order to hang on to her integrity.

When playboy's founder, Hugh Hefner, learned that Carmella was leaving the show, he had one of his secretaries contact her with an invitation to his birthday party.

They say that the best business deals are made at parties, and this was the case for the Ohio native. Hefner personally asked Carmella if she would ever consider changing her mind about posing for his magazine. They agreed to set up a test shoot.

As a result of the trial shoot, Carmella was featured on the playboy website and named Cyber Girl of the Month for February 2003.

Carmella had always been a good girl and feared her parents' reaction.
