Alison's Story

I've been in the photography and make up busines since 1967. I first worked for a photographer who did weddings, portraits and Playboy centerfolds. I went to work for Playboy Magazine in 1974 and spent most of my time with the West Coast Photo Dept. I worked a few nights a week for Mr Hefner as a social secy. After I went out on my own in the mid eighties I opened my own photo biz and worked as a union makeup artist on TV commercials. I am a photographer and have done work for Playboy magazine as well as advertising and executive photography mostly in the real estate and entertainment fields. I do all my own photo retouching which keeps me on the computer quite a lot. In my spare time I like to garden and cook. My passion is decorating. In 2006 my husband and I completely redid our house. I did all the designing and decorating myself. My husband and I spend our weekends at the Playboy Mansion hanging with our social friends. Every Sunday my husband Joel and I spend the whole day with Mr Hefner playing backgammon. My husband is a writer and we do travel articles for various newspapers and magazines. So all of our travels are like free vacations at great hotels and fantastic restaurants. We really enjoy our life. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Sharon Vigare, because we had so much fun together. My husband and I are on the reality series girls Next Door every so often. I did my own part as Hef's ex social secretary on the opening of the 2nd season of the show. I invited all my Playmate friends from the late 70s. I share my home with my husband, my Mom and 6 cats, which I find fabulous. My best and oldest friend is LeAnn and we met while working at the Playboy Mansion. She worked during the day and I worked at night. She would stay a...Expand for more
fter and hang with the Playmates and myself while I was on duty as Mr Hefner's social secy. Then we became roomates and went to 100s of concerts and had great parties at our house for 3 to 4 hundred people. Most were PB models, actors and rock and roll stars. Our parties were infamous! We hung with Tom Petty, Dave Stewart, Eric Clapton, and so many others. One of my old boyfriends who was in a band called The Del Fuegos is now the VP of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.** Update-he now works for Little Steven, the guitar player in Springsteens band. Not at the Hall of Fame anymore. It was hard for him to go back and forth from his home in New Jersey to Cleveland where the Hall of Fame is located. He now has written and had published the biography of Tom Petty called "Petty" At the moment my husband and I are putting together a travel junket to France for next spring. Planned for the countryside in the South France. Update : Sadly my Mom passed away in her sleep on Good Friday, 2013. Miss her so much but she lived to 98 yrs old so she had a grand long life. My husband and I took our Mom's to England on "The Mumms Tour" in '99. We had a glorious time visiting the places our ancestors on both sides were from. We are still traveling and writing articles. If you go to Commdiginews and look for Joel Berliner in the author list you can see some of our articles. We just this year spent two weeks in Tuscany, Italy. Next spring we will be going to France. We are still playing backgammon with Hef on Sundays. He is 90 and still a great player. My old boyfriend who works for Little Steven, has written the biography of Tom Petty. I feel so proud since I was the one to introduce him to Tom. The book is entitled 'Petty' by Warren Zanes. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. All the best in 2017.
