INTRODUCTION

An artist, writer, feminist, and Playboy Playmate, Juliette Fretté obtained her B.A. from UCLA in Women's Studies in 2006. Having worked with Playboy on a number of pictorials over the past few years, Juliette is currently revising and expanding her UCLA honors thesis "Posing for Playboy from a Feminist Perspective: How Media Images Impact Women's Empowerment" into a narrative book. Within the context of her feminist journey through Playboy culminating as her work as Miss June 2008, she will examine a wide range of contentious issues including choice, morality, judgment, fear, objectification, and body image issues. Stay tuned for more information on her upcoming title and publishing date. Otherwise, a few selections of her written work can be viewed in Playboy magazine (June 2008) and Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art www.whitehotmagazine.com.

In the midst of finishing the aforesaid written project, Juliette continues to stay artistically inspired through her paintings as many are displayed here before you. An eternal patron of earthly and unearthly beauty in the form of nature or human-made creativity, Juliette enjoys spending the majority of her time around trees, enriching herself with the spiritual and artistic insights of others, and spending time with nurturing and remarkable people. Perhaps it is no surprise that she is both a Pin-up model and fan of the world famous Pin-up artist and icon Olivia de Berardinas, whose celebrated sensual work continues to grace the pages of Playboy magazine among other venues. Aside from enjoying art, creating art, writing, and indulging in life's adventures, Juliette's main ambition is to pursue ballistic joy in her quest to create a large ~ if not somewhat unorthodox ~ positive impact upon the world.
