Say hello to Casey Connelly, a desert rose from Phoenix, Arizona. She's got long brown hair, brown-green eyes, long legs and an open mind. "I grew up in a small town in the high Sonoran desert, right off Route 66," she says. "We lived at the foot of the mountains. I had two older brothers, so I don't mind getting dirty. I love being outside, and I go to Burning Man every year." These days, Casey lives and works in Phoenix, but she's still a small town girl at heart. She spends a lot of time at home, reading in bed - "I just picked up The Fountainhead," she says - and tending to her cactus and succulent gardens. "I live on the outskirts of town, at least half an hour from civilization," she jokes. "I own a few guns - a 38 Special Smith & Wesson, a 357 Magnum and an Uzi." She smiles. "All for protection, of course." Casey has some modeling experience - she was a Maxim Campus Cutie in 2006, and later featured as one of the Tempe 12. "Playboy was on my bucket list," she says.
