[6] By June 2004, she was given her own monthly pinup page for the magazine that continued for many years, often appearing with captions written by Hugh Hefner.

[8] Her female pin-ups were released in a digital collection on CD-ROM in 1990,[9] and early copies of the program MacPaint had an Easter egg that led to the presentation of her Zebra lady.
