Victoria Zdrok Interview

Victoria, you were a Playboy Playmate in June 1994, and you were a Penthouse pet in June 2002. Now you're Penthouse Pet of the Year 2004. Some say there's no such thing as bad press, but considering the financial dire straits that magazine is in (bankruptcy), does being the "Penthouse Pet Of the Year" carry any more or less clout with it than it did, like... say... 1994?

Victoria Zdrok: No, because Penthouse’s financial problems have brought even more publicity and sympathy to Bob Guccione and the magazine; and people are reading Penthouse more these days. Plus, Penthouse has started the Penthouse Executive Club and is doing more promotions now. Moreover, most of my fans don’t even know about the bankruptcy.

Not only are you lovely, but you have earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, which is certainly impressive. Let's say for the sake of discussion, a young man comes to see you for counseling because every time he's in the same room with an attractive woman, he rubs his genitals feverishly. Do you refer him to a colleague for treatment, or do you hang in there and give this rubbing fool some treatment?

VZ: I would treat him. Given who I am, I would have the opportunity to observe directly his symptoms; and I would not be deterred by the difficulty of this case. As a psychologist, I am in no way offended by symptoms like these. Indeed, in my sex therapy classes, I have dealt with much more severe and difficult symptoms.

You're working on a book about sexual fantasies, for which I'm sure you're surveying a number of people (either online or otherwise) to find out what their particular fantasies are... What is the STRANGEST fantasy anyone has ever described to you? (don't say there aren't strange ones either, because we all know there are some crazies out there who have odd taste)

VZ: To me, the “pie in the face” fantasy is the strangest kind of fantasy. I wouldn’t think there is anything sexual in smashing a cream pie in the face of a beautiful woman; but there are guys who find that very arousing. Also, there is a whole genre of “wet and messy” fetishes, ranging from spaghetti wrestling to grape squashing, which are pretty strange. But don’t ask me about ”bug stomping” with 6-inch stiletto heels—to find that sexually exciting is too weird even for me especially since I hate bugs!

With all of the pornographic/adult websites on the internet, and all of the gigabytes of sexually oriented material that's available, why should someone plunk down 26 bucks a month to look at YOUR site versus another?

VZ: For one thing, my site has much more than just pictures, although there are plenty of them, over 6,000 original photos of me, other Playmates and Pets and top internet models. But with each photoset, I give my members an original story, behind-the-scenes account or retold fairy tale or historical event. My photosets include costume dramas, romantic stories, depictions of fetishes, and historical pastiches, as well as the hottest girl/girl action of any model site. Plus, I chat with my members for over two hours a week, including at least an hour of streaming video chat; and in my chats, I am totally frank and candid with my members about any subject they want to discuss. As the Bomis Babe Report recently mentioned, I have much more content than just about any model site you can name—enough that you cannot even see it all in a single month—and my photos and videos with other models are worth the price of a membership just by themselves. No matter what kind of woman a man might like, or who his favorite Playmate or Pet might be, I have her on my site—nearly a hundred other centerfold and glamour models, including many porn stars and some newcomers not available anywhere else. And, I am known in some circles as the “Great Corruptor,” because I have been able to get other Playmates to pose in more erotic poses than they ever did before. In addition, I answer all my members’ e-mail myself and project more of my own personality into the site than any other model does. So if you want to know me as a person, as well as to entertained by the most original erotic content on the ‘Net, you just have to join PlanetVictoria.com.

You once dated Donald Trump (which he has denied...despite there being photographic evidence of you two together), who you described as arrogrant and narcissistic, but who is also now more famous than ever. Aren't the fringe benefits of dating someone like Trump (ie; an extravagant lifestyle, fame, etc) worth putting up with a bit of an inflated ego?

VZ: Maybe, if a person rated material things above all else; but I am not such a person. To Trump, all a woman is, is an adornment to his all-consuming ego; and I could never stand to be treated like that. Besides, I appreciate intelligence, faithfulness and devotion in a man; and Trump has none of those characteristics. It is sad that the American public is so enamored of the TV image that it cannot see through “the Donald’s” façade; but some day, maybe after the banks take over his hotels and his real estate empire, he will be seen as he really is.

Also, as long as we're on the subject of Mr. Trump. Explain if you would, to the best of your knowlegde, what's going on with that guy's hair? Is that a wig? A combover? Did you witness any of his coif maintenance while you were with him?

VZ: It’s not a wig, but it is a bad dye job. He tries to dye his graying hair medium blonde, but it comes out orange. Also, he uses a ton of hair spray to hold it and teases it to create volume, which is why it looks so fake. He probably spends more on hair care than I do; and it still looks terrible. See, money cannot buy everything! (We have to find pictures of this guy waking up in the morning; that unkempt head must look hysterical when he wakes up)

Hypothetical situation: You're conducting an experiment with a married, middle-aged gentleman who has become less interested in having sex with his wife. You show him a series of photographs of naked women, some young and fit, some old and fat, and he doesn't react positively to any. The final photograph you show him is of a bowl filled with kiwi fruit and vienna sausages. When he sees this, he becomes giddy, smiles ear-to-ear, and springs a massive erection in his trousers. What's your diagnosis/advice to this gentleman?

VZ: This sounds like a typical food fetish case. As I mentioned, there are thousands of guys who get turned on by various food items; and there is nothing too unusual about kiwi fruit and Vienna sausages to suggest that they would not make an equally compelling fetish. I would advise him to use his fetish in his lovemaking, such as by rubbing kiwi slices on his wife’s clitoris and then licking off the juice, or by having his wife insert a sausage and then nibbling on it. For some men, the path to sexual bliss goes through their taste buds before it reaches their sexual organs.

You have described the folks at Playboy as being very controlling and very hypocritical. Were there specific opportunities that you wanted to pursue that you were unable to because of Hefner's managerial methods? Explain.

VZ: There were many things that I wanted to do; and I refused to be controlled by Playboy’s rules. Therefore, they stopped hiring me for Playboy-related jobs and tried to “blacklist” me among the other Playmates. It was my posing for other competitive websites like Danni’s Hard Drive that resulted in Playboy’s refusal to hire me. Other Playmates, who are not courageous enough to defy the Bunny Empire, have been deprived of many opportunities to advance their careers.

Were you ever propositioned by Hef while you were involved with Playboy? How much of Hef's sexual behavior is genuine, and how much is either exaggerated or blown out of proportion? (meaning, is this 80-something year-old man REALLY sleeping with six girls simultaneously, and does he really have a fascination with gay porn?)

VZ: No, Hef never propositioned me. I don’t think he has to proposition women, since so many women want to be in the magazine that they are always coming on to him. I don’t have any first hand knowledge of Hef’s sexual activities; however, the published stories from Sandy Bentley and other “former girlfriends” have attested to the fact that he really doesn’t sleep with all the women who pretend to be his “girlfriends” (for $10,000 a month) and that he watches the girls play with each other and watches gay porn videos. (For $10,000 a month, I'd go down on Hef... not that he's asking, but I'll throw that out there, just in case)

How do you feel about the government's desire to clamp down on the adult industry and free speech (referring to all of the attention being given to broadcast 'indecency')? Do you think your naked boobs (or anyone's for that matter) pose a threat to national security?

VZ: I think that the current administration’s preoccupation with Janet Jackson’s nipples is threat to national security! More to the point, the idea that the government should prohibit any form of nudity or sexual behavior is a threat to our basic freedoms of speech and association. In Europe and even in Latin America, nudity of the type that has produced all this furor is commonplace on TV. In my view, violence and killing is much more “indecent” than mere nudity; and our present administration seems to foster violence around the world.

Being the fine specimen that you are, you must get approached by eligible bachelors constantly. What is the WORST pick-up line that a fella has used on you, and what was your response?

VZ: Actually, I have not been subjected to any bad “pick up lines.” Most men who have approached me have been reasonably polite and respectful. I don’t know whether it is because I am a down-to-earth person who is not easily offended, or whether I have just been lucky, but the cocky wise-guys have not bothered me.

Now that you have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, which egomaniacal, deluded celebrity would you MOST like to analyze, and why?

VZ: I would most like to analyze Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson or any of their ilk; because they are insufferably self-righteous, maniacally afraid of anything sexual, and are wedded to a view of mankind that is so far from reality as to be scary. We need to know what makes such men tick, so we can save their followers from making the same mistakes they make.

As if your resume wasn't impressive enough, you're also a lawyer, so with your legal insight...tell us: Michael Jackson: Guilty pedophile or misunderstood eccentric?

VZ: From what I have read and heard, he sounds like a pedophile. Indeed, his personality profile fits the pedophilic profile, almost to a “T.” For example, his immaturity, his love of cartoons and other children’s play, and his wanting to have “sleepovers” with children point to pedophilia, according to psychological literature. As a lawyer, I can only speculate as to whether the DA has the evidence to prove his misconduct beyond a reasonable doubt.

If we were to dig through your stash of adult videos, what kind of porn would we find in Victoria Zdrok's smut drawer?

VZ: Actually, I don’t have too many porn videos, since I rarely have time to watch them. I do love Zazel and the videos of Andrew Blake, Michael Ninn and Candida Royale; and if I were to buy adult videos or DVD’s, those would be the ones I would look for. .

Finally, what would it cost us to retain you as legal counsel? The thought of you in a suit makes us want to infringe on copyrights and do some court time.

VZ: You would have to pay me $500 an hour, because the thought of dressing up in a suit and going to court is to me very unpleasant. Although I like the theory of law and its principles, I have grown to dislike the practice of law.
