Holly Madison Hollywood Ferret

April 2016 Magazine HOLLYWOOD FERRET Volume 4 Issue 29

Hugh HefnerThe Playboy Himself

Recap

The last issue was one which discussed several topics and highlighted a few new things which we felt was a must for everyone. In the past issue we discussed the relative to ferrets known as Otters. We especially like otters because they are super cute and love water, absolutely adorable. Of course in addition to the cute elements we went on to discuss one very alarming element whose technical name is Disseminated Idiopathic Myofasciitis; however, it is more commonly known as DIM. We also discussed something that many people can look forward to this voting season in November as there will be a very special ballot section featuring ferrets. One portion of the past issue which we really enjoyed was the dis- cussion as to why we do everything we do to and with Hollywood Ferret as it is purely our dedication and motivation to make ferrets better in every aspect. On a sadder note, we also discussed the deadly six elements and specifically discussed in great detail the fatal adrenal disease. Of course being a global company we also like to showcase places around the globe and last time we were able to share some details about India. Lastly, we focused on the inside parts of ferrets focusing on the ferret’s tongue. We hope you enjoyed our past issue and look forward to this new issue and all we have to share with you!

*Subject to Change FROM THE EDITORS MustelidaeFerret Relatives

For this issue we are very pleased to discuss the European Pine Marten which is commonly known simply as the pine marten, especially in their homeland of Anglophone Europe. More specifically one should know that this is an animal native to Northern Europe which also belongs to the mustelidae family which as you know is the same family that ferrets come from as well as others which we will discuss in greater detail in future issues. The pine martin is about the size of a domestic cat and their habitats are usually well- wooded areas. European pine martens usually make their own dens in hollow trees or scrub-covered fields. Martens are the

I don’t regret it, I don’t hate it but I can’t say that I agreed with everything, meaning rules and what not.” We also wanted to know “Which room in the mansion was your favorite and why?” Holly again, gave us insight to her world by sharing “Hef’s room first, my room second and then the animal area. Hef’s room was the most exclusive room, my room was mine and the animals well who doesn’t love animals.” Of course Holly has experienced many great things since being a Playmate and since living at the iconic mansion, we asked “After leaving the mansion you moved to Las Vegas and had a great level of success HollyAn Madison Iconic Playmate with your own tv show as well as with being the star of Peep Show. Can you tell us about some of your favorite Vegas memories?” Holly shared “Oh I miss the Peppermill. I love that restaurant. It is by far the very best restaurant in the whole city of Las Vegas We are very fortunate enough to have two great Playboy icons in this issue, alongside Mr. Hugh Hef- and it is so under-rated. You guys have a request from me to go back there soon and eat some good food for me and send me pic- ner, we have miss Holly Madison. We began our interview with her by asking “How would you describe your tures. OMG, the best memories are from there for sure.” The interview continued on as we asked “For those who may not know, life in one word?” For being a short answer, it sure is insightful as she stated “ Odd.” Though she make think you are an avid animal lover. Can you tell us what got you interested in animals and share with us your favorite animal?” Holly she is odd and or her life is odd, we don’t, as well as many other people as she has tons of fans across the shared her love for animals by stating “I loved animals at an early age in life.

Rescuing lizards and birds and everything in between. If anyone wants to experience true unconditional love, “What moment in your life are you the most proud of and why?” Holly explained “I am most proud of many where there is never a moment or sliver of anger or animosity then get a pet, especially a dog or ferret because they simply do not things but picking one that really defines me as a person or even my career is a little tough.

More specifically you were Hef’s number 1. on this as she answered us by saying “Opps. I answered it sort of. I love sloths, I love ferrets and I love giraffes.

I’m reflecting momma right now caring for some babies.

It is like a test, a very hard test and every few questions you find out the most and if you’re doing good or not. So far, so good... fingers crossed for me.” We loved sitting down talking to Holly and asked her more love.” about her own motivations and inspirations, specifically in regard to her daughter Rainbow as we asked “What was your inspiration behind the name Rainbow?” Holly shared “Sleeping Beauty. I am a huge Disney fan... I mean huge. My kitchen and some parts of my house are Disney themed. Disney just makes everything better and happier. Life wouldn’t be what it is today without Disney.” Seeing her love for animals and children was great which led us to asking her “Do you plan on having more children? If so, do you have any names in line?” Holly shared this as she said “I am pregnant now. I am hoping for a little boy so I have one of each but beyond that I don’t know what the future will hold for me.” We have been fortunate enough to have known Holly for awhile, but we wanted to know “How did you hear about us?” Holly shared “I found you guys years ago while still in Las Vegas. It’s funny too because I recognized you guys from Criss Angel’s Believe show. I know you guys worked there too. I wish we could have taken a photo back then to throw up now but you know how Criss was.” Of course, as always this wouldn’t be a Hollywood Ferret interview without us asking her “Which of our ferrets is your favorite and why? And a new Hollywood Ferret tradition we’re starting is which of our dogs is your favorite and why?” Holly shared “I love Hollywood, second place which was almost a tie, is Gaga. I miss her. I love the new tradition of the dogs... oh boy this is a hard one. I am going to have to go with Bigfoot. I think he is absolutely adorable and so unique. That hair!!” We were having a great time with Holly but of course like all great things, there must be an end at one point or another as we asked just a few more questions “What are some things we can look forward to in the future with you?” Holly shared “Well a new baby. I am actually trying to get scheduling lined up for some work with voice over to be with a new upcoming Disney movie. Stay tuned readers, because Hollywood Ferret will be first to have confirmation and more information. Other than that, I would love to return to Vegas and do a new Holly’s World and show the world and share with everyone my life now. I think it would be nice.” The other question we asked her was for the fans as we asked “Do you have a message to your fans?” Holly reached out to the fans by sharing “First and foremost thank you. Please do not ever let anyone bring you down or take you down in any way shape and or form. Secondly, never let anyone bring you down for any reason. Those who matter won’t mind and those mind don’t matter. It doesn’t erret H d F oll oo yw w oo ly d l o F get more simple than that.” We loved our interview and are grateful for this experience.

t r 30e Our Lives When we first thought about what we would share with everyone in this segment we were at a lost. Sometimes with so much going on it can be hard to think clearly or to even put into words everything that is going on. Even right now, as we write this it is hard to accurately share what has kept us busy; however, we can share that we don’t think we have recovered from our move yet. This move really was a rushed one which meant we did not have the chance to do things as we would have liked and thus, we are still trying to clean up and catch up. One of the things we do look forward to is watching horror movies and different shows and specials on Netflix. It is kind of the only time in the day we get to unwind and relax and when this happens we prefer to watch things that either scare us or make us laugh. When we are not busy watching Netf- lix or this magazine we are caring for our fur-children. In doing so, we have officially taken on custody of our former foster Piggy-Skyline as he has a few medical problems which means his constant care is a must. Though Heath- er’s parents wanted him we all felt as though it was in Piggy’s best interest to stay with us as we can give him the care he needs just about 24/7. In addition to taking on Piggy we have been playing catch up, trying to get all of the content organized and written can be a challenge; however, we always find a way to do so. Everything seems to be good at the moment and rather simple as all the babies and us are in good health and spirits and there is not much more that we could ask for. We are looking forward to a few things this coming Summer which we will share with you all later. Another thing which we have been doing is tattoos. Heather has been refining her skills and even received a new Storm Rotary machine. We have to say, once you get one tattoo they are pretty addicting as even Heather’s brother Brian, who swore he would never get a tattoo let Heather give him one. So its been very eventful these last few weeks, thanks for hanging in there for us!!!

t r 45e Brain Work

Well this was a fun magazine to create and by fun I mean mentally ex- hausting. I strive so hard to get the magazine out on the first like it should but last month and this month has really taken a toll on me. Every time I would find a minute to work on it something else would come my way. Dracula set us back about a little over two weeks. He was up and down and we finally decided to take him to the vet because he wasn’t getting any better so he was on medication and finally after that messy and by messy I mean chocolate mud pies everywhere on the carpet, he started looking up while on his medication and now he’s doing great. So with that in mind along with the stress if he was going to be ok and what could have caused it we did our own research and officially determined what it was. We -de termined that it was the water the dogs were drinking. For those that don’t know, Las Vegas has horrible water, full of harsh chemicals along with it being recycled in not the greatest way. So after reading on what we thought it was, we determined that it was for sure giardia. Basically its a parasite within their food or water in which they consumed and seeing that everyone was fine other than Dracula we knew for sure it wasn’t a bad batch of food which left the water. So our poor baby got sick from having traces of feces in the water which made him sick and it was actually our fault because we were being lazy to go up and down the stairs to refill the boys’ water. We’re not doing that again. Now we’ve bought pitchers to www.danielsternart.com keep in our spare fridge in the garage. So anyway, back to the magazine, I had fun putting it together and deciding on the backgrounds because I had a few options layed out and I wasn’t happy with them so I removed them and kept it simple and uniformed which is what you see. Hef and Holly were a blast to work with and truly feel honored working with them along with all of the Hollywood Tides we’ve worked with. We never imagined that Hollywood Ferret would turn out this way, but we’re very glad that it did. Thank you for taking this journey with us.
