European model Jennifer Mackay (also known as Tetiana Herasymenko), born on December 1, 1992 in Ukraine, made her debut on Met Art in 2012 at just nineteen. Standing 5'7" with blue eyes and blonde hair, her modeling career was brief yet memorable—spanning 15 covers, 12 photo sets, and 3 videos over three years.
For me, her beauty and composure are truly captivating. In her Met Art biography, Jennifer shared her love for spending time with friends, relaxing in coffee shops, reading fiction, mountain biking, swimming, and playing squash. I can easily imagine sitting in a quiet café, glancing over to see a striking blonde absorbed in a novel—perhaps something by Lesya Ukrainka—and feeling admiration and being entranced.
Lindy Benson, born on November 30, 1952, in Muswell Hill, London, is a former actress and adult model known for her striking presence in the adult film industry during the 1970s.
Standing at a petite 5'2", Benson possessed a slim yet voluptuous figure, with measurements of 34-23-35 that made her a standout in her field. With her brown hair and captivating blue eyes, she captivated audiences in films such as Intimate Games and To the Devil a Daughter, showcasing both her acting talent and her allure.
Active in the industry from 1973 until 1985, Benson's career featured a mix of provocative roles and appearances in saucy flicks. Despite her relatively short time in the spotlight, she left a lasting impression, particularly with her memorable performances in titles like Adventures of a Plumber's Mate and Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair.
After stepping away from the screen, Lindy Benson's life took a different turn, even working as a private eye for a Canadian detective agency. Her unique journey from actress to private investigator adds an intriguing layer to her multifaceted persona.
Roos van Montfort was born on November 29, 1989, in Geldrop, a quiet town in the southern Netherlands. She described her childhood as calm, peaceful, and surrounded by greenery—so quiet, in fact, that she eventually felt ready for something bigger.
Standing 5'9½" with blonde hair and brown eyes, she always sensed she wanted to see more of the world. That urge pushed her abroad early. Through an exchange program, she spent short stretches in California, Florida, and Barcelona before returning home and deciding she was “done” with Holland. She soon moved to London, then New York, setting the foundation for her modeling career.
Her career began in London when she signed with an agency at 20. Four years later, she reached a career milestone as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for January 2014—the magazine’s 60th-anniversary centerfold, photographed by Sasha Eisenman. She has since continued modeling for Playboy Plus and other platforms.
In interviews, she called becoming a Playmate “the coolest thing” she had done, a small but meaningful place in the brand’s long history. Roos embraced the travel and pace of modeling, describing New York as a city full of energy, but she often hinted that California felt like the place she ultimately wanted to live.
Her personality, humor, and candor made her stand out. She preferred “real guys”—a bit messy, beer-drinking, sports-watching—rather than men who spent more time in front of the mirror than she did. She admitted she rarely checked out men, but she loved checking out women, joking about her “girl crushes.”
She talked openly about juggling a few short-term relationships during her “New York experience,” and she balanced nightlife with a focus on health, using detox routines to maintain her skin and energy for work. Driven, playful, and unfiltered, Roos built a career shaped by curiosity and ambition, always chasing the next place, the next opportunity, and the life she imagined for herself.
Beyond modeling, van Montfort has expressed ambitions to live in California, to become a Bond girl, to own her own business and build a family. She has shared playful personal interests—from taking belly-dance classes inspired by Shakira to using her secret apple-crumble recipe as a way to charm at dinner.
My family never really did the "traditional" Thanksgiving thing. While others gathered around a turkey with all the cousins and casseroles, we usually packed up and headed out of town. The idea was simple: skip the drama, make our own fun. And honestly, it worked.
My favorite Thanksgivings were at the Houston Galleria, which, to kid-me, felt like visiting another country. We'd check into the Westin Galleria--glitz, glamorous, and full of people who looked way fancier than us. Thanksgiving dinner was at Delmonico's, a steakhouse that made me feel like we were living large. When that closed, we just pivoted to Zucchini's at the other end of the mall.
The Friday routine was a classic. While mom power-shopped, Dad and I wandered the Galleria, hitting toy stores, and even a booth where you could record your own song on a cassette. By afternoon, we'd regroup for the Texas vs. A&M game -- me napping, them glued to the TV--before heading out to Westheimer for hibachi dinner.
Saturdays were more of the same: shopping, college football, and my dad finding ways to keep me entertained with museums or Toys R Us trips. Looking back, those Galleria Thanksgivings were the best -- less about turkey and more about laughter, adventure, and avoiding the usual family squabbles.
