I was surprised when I joined this site to see nothing written about my all time fave linn thomas (although I'm grateful for the wealth of pix here!). Linn, of course, is the answer to the trivia question, name the first woman to be both a Playboy Playmate of the Month and a Penthouse Pet of the Month. Several have done it since, but she was the groundbreaker.

I think "Lynn" was a Pmate in '97, if memory serves. She crossed over as "Linn" in 2000, which is when I became a groupie. After becoming a Pet, she began feature dancing at clubs big and small. The first time I saw her was in a small club in Seaford, Del., of all places, and I immediately fell in lust. It wasn't just her exotic looks, either. I am not exaggerating when I say Linn was one of the nicest, most unaffected women of ANY type I've ever encountered.

Over the next 40 months or so, I followed Linn to clubs across the country, from Arizona to North Carolina, and got to know her to the point that even after she finished her feature dancing career, we'd occasionally exchange emails. Once we shared room service grilled cheese sandwiches (sadly that's all we shared). Another time, she personally chauffeured me to the train station in NYC once her shows were done for the nite.

Linn had (and hopefully still has) a great head on her shoulders and could talk about virtually any subject. She was also never afraid to laugh at herself. I was very pleased when she received her master's degree. And those beautiful looks! Take a peak at all the pix. She could look like a very pretty girl next door, or a bubbling cauldron of pure sexual lust, take your pick.

The emails ended a couple years ago. My guess is Linn thought it was time to leave "Linn Thomas, Penthouse Pet" behind and move on to other things. Certainly understandable.

I've been to dozens of strip clubs over the past 30 years and seen thousands of girls dance, including other Playmates, Pets and pornstars. But none in my mind will ever equal the wonder that was Linn Thomas.
