Toni is a true New Yorker, who knows what will come out of her mouth!
30 My Life at The Playboy Mansion as a Playboy Model
As a young girl, Toni was diagnosed with Scoliosis. Thanks to her Aunt, she had surgery to correct her spine and spent a year in a body cast. During that time, Toni decided she wanted to become a model.
With scars down her back and legs it was not an ideal job. Toni’s drive, hard work and street smarts landed her a meeting with a Playboy photographer in Chicago. That turned into a contract as a Playboy model, then an invitation to visit Hugh Hefner at the Los Angeles Playboy Mansion. Which then turned into a 3 year stay at the mansion.
Hear what it was really like living there and her experience as a Playboy Model.

29 Justin the Crystal Meth Addict
This is the story of Justin, the crystal meth addict. Toni met Justin through one of her clients which was a big bank. Justin was 20 something years old, Southern, funny, gay, smart, talented and unfortunately addicted to drugs.
He lost his job at the big bank and Toni took him in and offered him a place to sleep and a job. At the time, Toni did not know about the drug problem and thought he could be an asset for her trade show modeling company.
You can probably guess that’s not how this story goes. Justin turned into a lying, crystal meth addicted prostitute. How did Toni end up kicking him out? It took an illegal FedEx order and a climb up the fire escape.

28 How I Met Actor James Gandolfini
This story starts at the NYC dog park where Toni met a woman named Michelle and her two dogs, Moo and Boo.
Michelle was a quirky woman who was perpetually broke and a college student who was always working on her thesis. She would take Toni’s mother Rosemary to doctors appointments, go for dog walks along the Westside Highway and come over for dinner.
James Gandolfini lived in the same neighborhood as Toni and Michelle. Michelle became friendly with James and told him how Toni “wanted to have her way with him.” In a twist of fate, it happened.
