Bethany Marie is excited about her upcoming trip -- several days at sea with her good friend and fellow “Is She Hot?’ contest winner Brooke Banx. We can only imagine what the guys on that ocean liner will think when they see this scrumptious pair strolling on deck. Perhaps they will fantasize about being caught on a deserted island with their very own version of Mary Ann and Ginger.

The pair is set to sail to the Bahamas for a photo shoot. Sadly, we don’t have those photos to show you here today, but we do have images from Bethany Marie’s recent shoot with Eddie Baute.

She grew up in a very conservative Southern Baptist family in Texas. Although she remains a spiritual person, she likes to be a little naughty too.

“I used to go to church every Sunday and Wednesday, but I got too busy so now I go every so often – but I do still pray and try to live for God,” Bethany said.

She talked to Savvy about those hot Texas women and having a man-in-uniform fetish...

Savvy: How did you get into modeling?

Bethany: I always dreamed of modeling. I guess because I always wanted to be that pretty girl as a young girl, but I was shy and an ugly duckling. One night, I was at a party at a club and I had a guy say he was a photographer and wanted me to pose for him.

Savvy: Ha! You fell for that line?!

Bethany: I was nervous and got out of there real fast! But I checked him out – I had to know whether he was for real – and he was a very good photographer. Still, he had a lot of nudes on his web site.

Savvy: You posed nude?

Bethany: No, but very edgy shots.

Savvy: Why not bare the sisters?

Bethany: (Laughs) I would pose nude for Playboy, but that’s it. No, I just like to tease. Men go more crazy when they see a woman wearing a little of nothing than nothing at all. I think it is more of a turn-on to wonder what it looks like than to just see it.

Savvy: I guess so. Naked is hot too.

Bethany: The only time I’ve been nude around people was at Hedonism in Jamaica.

Savvy: Cool. Is it a big hot orgy?

Bethany: (Laughs) No orgies. Just a lot of crazy people partying. And there were some hot girls. Ugly ones too. (Laughs) I got along with everyone so it was all good and fun. I went to Hedonism to see if I could be naked in a pool and on a beach. I was and now I love it. It opened my mind to not be so uptight.

Savvy: Is there one thing that really turns you on?

Bethany: Deodorant. Sick, huh?

Savvy: (Laughs) No, I guess not. Are you a Right Guard kind of girl?

Bethany: Nope, an Axe girl. Just like the commercials. (Laughs) Yum!

Savvy: You know I am wearing that stuff now. (Raises arm to expose armpit)

Bethany: Okay now! What are you trying to do to me?!

Savvy: While we are talking about men’s bodies, do you prefer sticks or lumber?

Bethany: Lumber. Most women, maybe not all, do like bigger ones. There is no such thing as too big for me. But it really depends on how the man “works” it.

Savvy: If I type in “Bethany Marie Sex Tape” in Google, what will come up?

Bethany: Nothing. (Pause) I hope.

Savvy: Ever done anything sexual with another woman?

Bethany: I have kissed girls.

Savvy: And?

Bethany: Shhhhh! I’d rather not say.

Savvy: Naughty naughty. What do you look for in a guy?

Bethany: I’m attracted to policemen. Undercover men really get me hot.

Savvy: Is it the handcuffs? (Laughs)

Bethany: Yeah, that too! (Laughs) It’s something about the uniform and him having total control of everything. I’ve had a relationship with a man who is an undercover brother. For real. The danger was a real plus!

Savvy: Wow, gives new meaning to protect and SERVE! (Laughs) Whoa, guess I better behave myself if the men in blue are watching you.

Bethany: He taught me to defend myself. He was used to guys giving me attention, found it a compliment actually. He would let me dance with other guys without any problem. He was that secure. He was always proud of my modeling. My dad really liked him, but mom loved him because he was so cute.

Savvy: Are you a sexual person? I don’t mean nympho.

Bethany: I love it all the time. I like it too much. I like being in charge. (Laughs) People are going to think I am a sex-a-holic.

Savvy: Nah, we’re all horny here. Do you worry what other people think of you?

Bethany: I do think there is a stigma against women who enjoy sex. If girls act like guys, they’re called “sluts”. But I’ve been with the same guy for more than 5 years.

Savvy: I don’t think you’re called a slut unless you do gangbangs nowadays.

Bethany: Women judge other women more than men judge women.

Savvy: Why are chicks so competitive?

Bethany: Some girls look at me and think I’m all stuck up and self-absorbed. That’s not true at all.

Savvy: Your friend Brooke proved she wasn’t conceited.

Bethany: I love her to death. She’s super cool. We’ve done some shoots together, a movie and now this cruise. It’s great to know someone who models in Texas who is cool. I think maybe girls are jealous of us, but if they would work hard at it, they would be happier with themselves.

Savvy: The two of you have the most incredible breasts between you.

Bethany: (Laughs) We get told that a lot! The best breasts in Texas, they say.

Savvy: Any hidden tattoos or piercings?

Bethany: I have a tattoo on my lower back and one above my private area. Any girl who can handle the pain and fear of getting a tattoo is a “wild” one, like Vince Vaughn said in Wedding Crashers: “Might as well be a bullseye”. I had a tongue ring for a couple of years. It was for looks but turned out to be a fun tool. (Laughs)

Savvy: You said you and Brooke did a movie together?

Bethany: Acting is another passion of mine. We did a movie where I am a hot chick that this chimp buys stuff for with the stolen credit card he has. (Laughs)

Savvy: Sounds like an Oscar winner.

Bethany: I will be coming out with a Miss Bethany DVD in 2007. No x-rated stuff, just about me showing some sexy adventures. You know, washing cars in bikinis with my girlfriends, in the clubs and limo rides, etc. No nudity, but very very edgy.

Savvy: You come from a Southern Baptist family. Does daddy flip out when he sees you doing this stuff?

Bethany: Actually, my dad is very happy for me and has stood by me all the way. Of course, he would not be too cool with nudes, but he does show off my “good” photos to his work buddies. I had to assure my parents that I’m a big girl now. My brother Jim will love to show off this interview.

Savvy: What does he do?

Bethany: He’s the world’s top professional skydiver and swooper. He lives in L.A.

Savvy: Cool. Are you having fun with the USA National Bikini Team?

Bethany: I made Miss April and look forward to many appearances with the USNBT. I will be on the cover of “Orlando Style” magazine and “Blaze” magazine soon. Hopefully many more. I love my fans for their support.

Savvy: Any sweet or creepy fan stories?

Bethany: The sweetest was a gentleman who taped my picture in his car and would kiss it every day as he got in it.

Savvy: I never told you I do that! (Laughs) Are you a practical joker?

Bethany: One time I put a fake snake under my man’s pillow and when he got in bed, he felt it and nearly shit his pants. (Laughs)

Savvy: Did he pull out his gun and fire a few rounds into the pillow?

Bethany: If it weren’t for trying to catch his breath, he probably would have yelled, but I made it up to him later. I would say more but I don’t “do and tell”.

Savvy: Tell us about posing for Eddie Baute.

Bethany: Eddie is a real good photographer and he makes it fun. He makes a lot of jokes while he shoots.

Savvy: Cool deal. Thanks for talking to us.

Bethany: Thanks and thank you to everyone who voted for me in the “Is She Hot?” contest.
