Hugh Hefner announces the 2007 Playboy Playmate of the year. The winner is… Sara Jean Underwood! The playmate’s title and the start of her reign were celebrated at a backyard luncheon under a tent @ Hef’s famous Playboy Mansion, with the yard filled with current and former playmates, more than fifty dating back to the 1950s.

“I thought I was going to puke,” Sara Jean Underwood said after hearing she had won. “I thought I was going to faint. I thought I was going to cry. It was every emotion you can imagine one would feel when given such an honour.” Underwood also said she had never modeled before appearing in Playboy. “I didn’t think I was pretty enough,” she said.

What a sweet and modest girl! Sara Jean was discovered while a college student at Oregon State University when Playboy scouts were looking for candidates in the “Girls of the Pac 10″ pictorial.
