A/N: Since Tara's first day of becoming a vampire, she' has kept a journal. Here is one of her entries...

Song: The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson

Hey you, what do ya see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it's hard to be clean...

Dear Diary,

Hold on to your shit...

Pam just told me that she and Eric were named Playboy Magazine sexiest vampire and progeny of the year! And although Pam is honored (I know this because she has her signature erotic smirk plastered on her stunning face), she refuses to do an interview or be featured in the magazine. So I demanded to know why and she flat out denied me any answers.

"Take this to Eric." She clipped, it was her way of dismissing me; she handed me a bank bag with last night's earnings. So I take it upon myself to ask grandpa (snort) if I can join him for the interview and speak on Pam's behalf.

"What makes you think I've agreed to do the interview?" He retorted in his cold aloof manner.

I know damn well he's going to accept. Eric has a well-preserved collection of Playboy magazines. Besides, he'd never miss an opportunity to push his agenda.

"Are you meeting them somewhere or are they coming here?" I ask purposely ignoring his nonsense of a question.

He lets out a huff, slouching back in his seat. "And if I told you that Juliana Lamont will be here at 8 pm, would you take that as an invitation?"

Yep...And the Viking knows it...

"You could make this easy and just invite me," I reply with a glorious smile and twinkle in my eyes. It annoys him because I don't think he's capable of smiling anymore. Old bastard…Behind tented fingers, he just glares at me, and I patiently wait. Eric is pretty much unreadable so I no longer bother trying.

"You and Pam were chosen..."

…"Say what now?"

"I know you heard me, so I will not repeat myself, however, I shall elaborate." He leaned forward, resting his hands on his desk. "Miss Juliana Lamont is coming to see you. Playboy nominated you and Pamela as sexiest vampire and progeny. If you recall, Pamela and I were featured last year."

"Oh hell to the yes…" I sound off, still in shock. "I certainly do remember."

I was just a few months old and I remember Pam commanding me to stay home during the interview. And then the magazine arrived in the mail. The glossy pictures of my breathtaking Sire in a moonlit background. The scenery was perfect. Her tits were perfect and her ass in those peek-a-boo panties…Flawless… The interview was hilarious too. She held nothing back and she gave the interviewer shit at every turn. Eric, on the other hand, was all business. He spoke of politics and the AVL and surprisingly refused to go nude. He wouldn't even take off his shirt! He said he wanted to be taken seriously. Still, that did not stop his pictures from being hot. Eric looks amazing in a tuxedo.

"Good, you shall do the interview here," Eric informed me as he stood up, striding confidently towards the door. "Juliana will ask you to choose a theme and tomorrow you will meet with the stylist and photographer."

I'm sure I look like I slept in a hangar in my mouth. "Fuckin A!" is all I manage sputter to him as I stand and make my way to the desk and take the seat Eric was just occupying. My fangs dropped I was so damn excited. I've got to get that under control.

Eric chuckles. "Miss Lamont is early," He says, and not a second later I pick up the scent of very expensive perfume. I also sense my maker and pick up her delectable scent too. She's escorting Juliana Lamont to me!

Pam wanted this to be all about me! That's why she bowed out. Damn, she's not only the sexist, she is the coolest maker ever! Eric opens the door and my eyes lock onto my beautiful blonde and her big baby blues; I'm still smiling fangs and all.

"Surprise me." My master purrs to me and gives me her most flirtatious wink.

Shit, the pressure is real. I'm thinking about what I should and should not say in this interview. Juliana gasps as Pam and Eric turn into a blur and vanish down the hallway. I struggle to suppress my excitement, but I manage and after a moment my fangs retract.

"Please have a seat, Juliana." I point to the seat across the desk, trying my best to sound calm; if I were human, I'd be sweating and nauseous right now. As a vampire, I just need to keep my fangs at bay, so I don't frighten Miss Lamont.

"Thank you, Tara." She says while taking a seat and placing her recorder on the table.

This is so Interview with a Vampire. (Snort)

I'm not as snarky and quick-witted like my Sire and sure as hell don't want to be a stone-cold politician like Eric. I'm not wise and well-traveled like my GG- Godric. I'm certainly no scholar like Nora. Hmm, what would my BFF Willa B talk about? She's a baby vamp like me…

PLAYBOY: Miss Thornton, let's start with our traditional question. Why have you agreed to this interview?

Well, that's a simple enough question.

I think I know what I'll talk about…
