rystal Harris was at a crossroads. "I was in my last semester at San Diego ^ State, getting a psychology degree,
J .^—v and I didn't know what I wanted to do next," f 1 says the 23-year-old. Then she met Hugh K^ J Hemer at the Playboy Mansion's 2008 Hal-^___^^^ loween party and, well, Hef s and Miss December's Christmas came early. "Hef was so humble and easy to talk to, which is one of the things I love about him," she says. "It was as if we already knew each other." Crystal has become the icon's main girlfriend, the down-to-earth yin to the wild yang of the Shannon sisters. Like Hef, Crystal has had a lifelong love of philanthropy. Not that she's a saint. "I won't lie—I love glamour," she says. "Flying in private planes and fine dining? Give it to me all day, every day! But growing up, I was far from being a rich girl, so I don't take this for granted. I want to be a Playmate who is a good role model." This holiday season Miss December received quite a gift: herself. "I didn't have much confidence in myself before, and I think the number one priority for happiness is to be comfortable in your own skin. I am now," she says. "Living in the Mansion has been a great year of growth. I've learned how to be myself."
