Thera Patrick - Oct 2007 Holland FHM

Early life

Patrick was born in Great Falls, Montana to an English father and Thai mother; her parents had originally met in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.[3] While Tera was young, her mother moved back to Thailand, and her father moved with her to San Francisco, California and raised her there himself.[4]

Although it is often stated on the internet that Patrick's father is English but ethnically Jewish, she has confirmed that this rumor is untrue.

Early career

Patrick was discovered in San Francisco by a talent scout for the Eileen Ford Modeling Agency, and at the age of 13 she was signed to a contract to be a model. She moved to New York City shortly thereafter and her career as a runway and catalog model began. At 18, she left the world of modeling and enrolled at Boise State University[5] where she received her associate's (two year) degree in nursing and a BS in Microbiology.[6] She then transferred to University of California, Santa Barbara, where for financial reasons she began modeling again.

Pornography career

In the late 1990s, Patrick transitioned to appearing in nude and soft-core features. In 2000, she made the transition to hard-core porn in Andrew Blake's Aroused. Since that time, she has become one of the most popular and recognized porn stars in the world, having graced the pages of Playboy and Penthouse, where she was the "Pet of the Month" for February 2000[7] and was selected as "Pet of the Year" runner-up, as well as having appeared in more than seventy adult features. Patrick is noted for her sultry voice and her aroused and enthusiastic portrayals of sex. Because of this, she has won several awards from the adult-movie business organizations. Today, she hosts the popular webcast The Tera Patrick Show and she is active in the adult film community, raising money for both the Free Speech Coalition and A.I.M Healthcare.

In an interview with the Adult Film Database in February of 2007, Patrick stated she will only continue to work in front of the camera for two more years, but plans on releasing her starring adult titles over the next decade.[8] The March 2007 DVD release, 'inTERActive' set the record as the fastest selling Hustler release ever

Ok.

Back Story.

Miss Earth 2006, the sixth Miss Earth pageant, took place on November 26, 2006 in the grounds of the National Museum in Manila, Philippines. The pageant was won by Hil Hernández of Chile.

The event was originally intended to be held in Santiago, Chile on November 15, but the Chilean organizers did not meet requirements and lacked the support needed to host the event. In the end, pageant owners Carousel Productions decided to hold the pageant in the Philippines, where all previous Miss Earth pageants had been held, despite having less than two months to prepare for the event.

More than 100 contestants were expected to compete, but only 82 eventually participated. This was the highest turn-out for the event, and comparable with other international pageants such as Miss Universe 2006.

On November 24 a number of delegates participated in the Philippine version of Deal or No Deal, acting as suitcase models during the game. This followed an episode of the US game show, where 26 Miss USA 2006 contestant acted as suitcase models.
