So there’s no jealously or nothing like that, she supports me, she thinks it’s awesome what I’m doing but she would never want to pose naked for a magazine.” It’s good because we are so close she is definitely my best friend but she would never do this herself. She’s there for me anytime of the day - she’s great. It’s hard to keep up with everyone but I’m trying to do my best. “At first everyone was a little hesitant but everyone is very happy for me and they support me and they want to know everything that’s going on. What does everyone around you think about you posing for Playboy? “I still look at my aunts and they are in their 40s and reaching their 50s now and I’m just like, ‘wow I hope I look like that.’ They are just beautiful.” It’s funny because they should have been Playmates - they are all tall and beautiful but growing up they were more conservative. My aunts are totally my inspiration and that is definitely who I look up to. My dad is one of nine and I have six aunts on his side and then two on my mom’s side. A lot of people know us in the Northeast as such a big family and everyone always says, ‘I wanna be in your family, your family is awesome.’ I think a lot of people look up to our family.” My entire life I can’t even recall one fight we’ve had… there’s never any fights in the Keil family, never. “Coming from this kind of family that I have - a divorced family - we all get along so well. My mom get remarried when I was young and I consider them my sisters. And my parents got remarried when I was young and my dad had two boys. My parents had me, my (older) brother and my sister - it’s me Sheri and Kenny. “I have a little bit of a Brady Bunch family. That’s hard to adjust to but I still talk to them over the phone and I do Facetime with my little brothers.” I grew up being able to walk next door to my grandmom’s house. I talk to my step dad a lot, you know what he’s a big supporter too. I talk to almost all of my aunts every day, my mom, my dad, my step mom, my step dad. My grandmom lives right next door to me and there’s always someone over there - an aunt, a cousin, a friend - it’s always very packed so I’m always around my family and that is probably my fondest memory of growing up around Northeast Philly. “I have a big family… I have about seven aunts and uncles that live within a four-block radius - the blocks where I live in the Northeast they’re tiny. SEPTA Has Private Security as ‘Eyes and Ears' on Its Subway System, Plans for More And I love Phileo Yogurt (on South Street)… I always get the cupcake batter ice cream and then I load it with tons of sprinkles. “I love my soft pretzels, my Philadelphia soft pretzels with lots of yellow mustard from the Philadelphia Pretzel Factory. What are the things you need when you’re back in Philly? And I got to the bottom and my body had nowhere to go so I guess from the momentum my legs came up and got me in the face.” “I was going down the slip and slide at the (Playboy) Mansion and I went headfirst - so fast - I was racing one of the other Playmates. So I had to get that stitched up on July 5th. I kneed myself in the face and it was just like what a boxer would get. “I have a few stitches in my face, I had a little accident. But, I never thought I would actually be where I am.” “It’s every girl’s dream to think of these things, like oh my gosh I would like to go to the Playboy Mansion or to meet Hef or be a Playmate. Ahead of Keil coming home for the first time since she became a Playmate she answered questions about what it's like to be a Playmate, what she misses most about home, what she has to say for people who don't approve of her posing nude and how she wound up in stitches, literally.ĭid you ever think you would be where you are now? But she is the first in her family to take it all off for the world to see. Now the MaST Community Charter School graduate is spending time at the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner and other Playmates dreaming of helping kids and creating her own cowgirl boot line.īeauty runs in the family for Keil, she says her aunt Linda was even a cheerleader for the Eagles. Just two months ago, Keil was living in Philly, bartending and spending time with her tight knit family. The 22-year-old is following the footsteps of other Philly-area Playmates like Shannon James (Miss May 2007), Lani Todd (Miss December 2001), Lindsey Vuolo (Miss November 2001), Kelly Monaco (Miss April 1997), Holly Witt (Miss November 1995) and Lorrie Menconi (Miss February 1969) and even all the way back to Delores Donlon (Miss August 1957) and Carrie Radison (Miss June 1957). Playboy Magazine's Miss August 2013 is Northeast Philadelphia's own Val Keil. The centerfold of the most-well-known men's magazine in the world might look familiar.
