How were you discovered by PB?
Voronina: "I was in L.A. for a modeling job when a photographer I shot with took me to Playboy's Studios. I had to extend my trip because I was immediately scheduled for a Playmate test!"
Altice: "A fellow Playmate, Brande Roderick, suggested me to Hef."
Oshima: "My friend in Florida introduced me to a Playboy photographer."
Phillips: "My best friend submitted photos of me through the mail and Stephanie from the studio called two days later!"

What's your number one posing tip?
Altice: "Keep your chin down!"
Phillips: "Tuck that tummy! And, of course, try to have fun."

Please spill on your top three beauty secrets.
Voronina: "Get lots of sleep, always take off your makeup before going to bed, and drink lots of water
."
Oshima: "Sleep, be happy, and take lots of vitamins."
Altice: "Use vaseline with cocoa butter, eat lots of ginger, and take vitamins."
Phillips: "Stay hydrated and try to give your face regular breaks from makeup — let those pores breathe!"

What about your diet and exercise routine, any advice you'd care to share?
Voronina: "I'm addicted to green juices. I make a blend of dandelion, upland cress or kale, with apple and lemon every morning!
 I crave my greens! I'm not an exercise freak, but I like my bootcamp classes, yoga, and hiking."
Altice: "I work out three times per week and follow a diet of lean meats and veggies, but I never deprive myself. I'll always try a bite or two of anything, just not the whole plate!"
Phillips: "I’m not a gym-goer, but I try to stay active by hiking, cycling, and yoga. I’ve felt the healthiest and happiest since I’ve switched to a primarily vegan diet."

What's been your wildest PB moment yet?
Voronina: "On my first autograph signing, when my English wasn't as great, I spelled a guy's name as Duck instead of Duke.
 He and his buddies were laughing their butts off and I was so embarrassed!
"
Oshima: "I went to Rio for Carnival last February and we had to go to LAX in our Bunny costumes. Going through security with all of the attention we got was unforgettable — everything was so funny and crazy."

What's your interaction like with Hef?
Voronina: "He wanted to know everything about Russian politics, my thoughts on Perestroika, and all of the drastic changes in my country that I was able to witness. I've really enjoyed our conversations!"
Oshima: "I couldn't believe how sweet and funny he was in person. He's very charming, tells me jokes, and makes me laugh. I love asking him questions about his life or musician friends and listening to his stories."
Phillips: "Hugs, kisses on the cheek, and random giggles."

If you weren't doing this, where else would you see yourself?
Oshima: "I'm a stylist, as well, and have done wardrobe for a few Playmates and a cover. I'd be in the fashion business for sure."
Altice: "Married with kids, which is up next!"
Phillips: "Before becoming a Playmate, I was a preschool caregiver and reading tutor, so I would probably still be in that field of work."
