A notable photographer — a guy who shoots for Esquire from time to time — has started this thing we like: MeInMyPlace.com . He photographs women in their own homes, in their own clothes, at their own invitation. The results are, uh, intriguing. So we started asking some famous women to invite him over for the Me in My Place Esquire Sessions. And the results are, well, a lot of you seemed to like his Sarah Shahi photos .
Let's continue the series with Natalie Zea, the 35-year-old TV star you may or may not remember from Dirty Sexy Money or Hung , but who you should definitely watch on Season Two of the Elmore Leonard-approved show Justified . It airs Wednesdays at 10 P.M. on FX. Our photographer friend stopped by on a recent Wednesday morning.... —The Editors
I try to be a good girl. I time it out so that every single second of my morning is being utilized: I shower, drink the coffee, brush the teeth, deodorize, and get dressed sometimes.

As I age, I become more and more happy with what I see in the mirror. At some point, that's going to stop.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here to recommend Me in My Place on Tumblr)
I had a director once say, "Could you just be a bit more sexy?" And I said, "No, I don't know how to play sexy. I'm really sorry. I don't do that." I'm not going to play sexy.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
I'm from the South, and so is my character. There's something sort of intrinsic in being a Southerner that doesn't go away. You can't get rid of it, but it's not something that's terribly obvious. You know, when you meet somebody and you ask them where they're from and they say, "Louisiana," you're like, "Of course you are."
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here to follow Me In My Place on Twitter)
There's a lot of unrequitedness involved in a lot of these women that I play. I'm drawn to the romantic aspect of a character. It's human emotion. It's much more fun to watch. And it's much more fun to play.

I'm a big fan of side boob. But there's only so much you can do with side boob in public. That's much more an at-home thing.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here to recommend Me In My Place on Tumblr)
My troubled area has always been my gut because I'm a big drinker and I'm not giving up the booze. So that's shaping up nicely.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
Our house is really, really cold — you walk in and the temperature drops about ten degrees for no reason. It's not the best in the winter, so I can't sleep bottomless. But in the summer, I go with nothing.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here to follow Me In My Place on Twitter)
I sometimes go to the men's section at H&M and buy nice oversized shirts and have them as my house shirts, with little shorts or whatever. As long as my upper body is warm, the legs can handle it.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here for more Me In My Place)
I have two cats. This one is such a little hooker. She'll come and hang out with anyone who walks in the house. We could have robbers come and she would be like, "Hey, what's up?" And she thinks that that's her bed. The other one, she wants none of it. She hangs out in my dirty clothes hamper. Loves it.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie — and her cat — and here to recommend Me In My Place on Tumblr)
I'm not a big lingerie girl. I see it and I love it and I appreciate it and sometimes I even buy it, and then it never gets worn. It just seems like kind of a wasted middle step. Either you're dressed or you're not. What is this in-between stuff?
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
I'm not a big bra girl at all. And I'm finally on a show that's on cable, where I'm allowed to not wear a bra and I'm very happy about that. I've always been fighting for braless, so much so to the point where the networks asked the standards and practices to call up producers and be like, "You have got to get that broad to wear a bra, because we're having to airbrush out her nipples." Because nipples are awful. I mean, god forbid!

My ass is doing some good things right now. It has the tendency to be very high anyway, but now that I'm working out, it's just like I could serve coffee on it. So it's nice.
(Click VIEW LARGER for more Natalie, and here to recommend Me In My Place on Tumblr)
On really, really nice days, we have a back deck. If I don't have anything else to do, I try to spend a good hour of the morning out there. I read the paper, answer e-mails, eat breakfast, make phone calls. And then because it's such direct sunlight, it gets a little too hot, and I'm good. I've got myself.

Intimate moments with the boisterous star of the new CBS show Unforgettable
The latest in a series of intimate moments with beautiful women — in their own homes, in their own clothes (most of them, anyway), and at their invitation. Come on in.

Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue. My mother and father just didn't stop. They were like, We can add this and we can add that. We owe this person and we owe that person. So I just got all of 'em.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place.)

I worked at McDonald's. I was the one who said Fries up! And I was really shy about it. I hated it — three buck an hour. And then I worked for my dad as a waitress in one of his places. And he fired me. He said I was rude to the customers. And I was.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for women you might actually know.)
I was pretty rebellious. I mean, I was expelled from six schools. My parents sent me to private girls school and they don't tolerate much. You had to wear a uniform and I would wear mine too short — too much makeup or too much hair dye, too many piercings. Whatever it was, I did it.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for the sexiest Twitter feed alive.)

I went blond when I was Marilyn Monroe and I had to stay blond because they offered me Without A Trace . But I've always thought of myself as a secret redhead. Even if that's not your thing, redheads — it's sort of a showstopper. Like, you walk into a room and it's in Technicolor.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place.)
Once you give birth, I think a lot of your insecurities go away. I used to be more demure about changing, but once you've breast-fed in a Barnes and Noble, it doesn't really matter who sees your boobs.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for women you might actually know.)
On Unforgettable , I play a woman who has a real ability called highly superior autobiographical memory. So basically she can remember everything. But my memory in real life? That depends. If I'm out drinking, it's terrible.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for the sexiest Twitter feed alive.)

Margarita. Cadillac margarita, mango margarita, any kind of margarita. I'm a big margarita drinker.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place videos.)

I like a nice, round butt. So I work as hard as I can to make sure my butt doesn't get small. A nice, round tuckus.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place.)

I hate clothes.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for women you might actually know.)
Literally, I think I'm a nudist at heart. I don't mind floppy clothes, but I don't like anything really restrictive like jeans or bras. I'm just more comfortable in very little.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for the sexiest Twitter feed alive.)

I don't have a lot of time to dress up in my garter belts and my frilly underpants, but I do own them. I'm more of a boxer-shorts-and-wife-beater sort of person.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place videos.)
I like to surround myself with books. And candles. Lots of candles.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for more Me in My Place.)
I will admit — and I can't believe I'm admitting this — I am a huge fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . I have not had time to watch it and it's devastating to me.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for women you might actually know.)
I'm a terrible chef, but I like to dice. I'm terrible at sports, I have no musical ability whatsoever, and I'm a really bad cook. So basically, all I can do is act.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Poppy, and here for the sexiest Twitter feed alive.)
But I eat nothing that I enjoy. I'm not one of those genetically blessed people who just wakes up and looks fantastic. But all I can think of is deep-fried calamari, French fries, and onion rings.

What the hell? Let's take a visit to the home of the reigning Playmate of the year, current Celebrity Apprentice contestant, and all-around champion of curves

Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Hope Dworaczyk

So we've been doing this collaborative experiment of ours for a while now. A respected photographer, who shoots for Esquire from time to time, started this fantastic little Tumblr — MeInMyPlace.com — that's not so little anymore. It's a simple concept, really: women in their own homes, in their own clothes, visited upon their own invitation. You can see the, um, surprising results — of "normal" women and some that we know — in the April issue of Esquire, but we hope that this can evolve into something that's just as human as it is different. So let our photographer friend know , and in the meantime... What the hell? Let's take a visit to the Los Angeles home of Hope Dworaczyk — reigning Playmate of the year, current Celebrity Apprentice contestant, Charlie Sheen hater , and all-around champion of curves.
You can tell a lot about a person from what their kitchen is like. What's in this cupboard? I'm nosey. But last night I had a girlfriend come over and we made brisket and mashed potatoes. My Nana's recipe.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for more Me in My Place)
When I had the option to pose naked, I went to my Nana and I said to her, "I'm too scared to tell you, but I'm going to tell you anyway." And she says: "Are you kidding me? Go for it."

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here to recommend Me in My Place on Tumblr)
I'm completely addicted to buying lingerie. I even buy the necklaces that go with it. I'll wear them to dinner and my girlfriends are like, "Isn't that some sort of bondage necklace?" Well, yeah.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
To bed? I don't like wearing much of anything. Probably a thong, and if it's cold then I'll put on a big t-shirt or a long-sleeve sweater. But other than that I feel claustrophobic under the sheets.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here to follow Me In My Place on Twitter)
I never knew I'd end up being a model, but I would stand in front of a mirror in this little 10,000-person town in Texas, wearing a big, baggy t-shirt. And I would pull it tight around my waist and my hips and pose like I was going to be one. And then I just realized, Okay, these curves aren't going away — they just came all of a sudden, to tell you the truth.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for more Me in My Place)
I think I got the butt first.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here to recommend Me in My Place on Tumblr)
The body paint was for Playboy , and I was in a relationship at the time. We dated for maybe two years, and they wanted to do something sports-related, but we had ended up breaking up — so they owned photos of me in my ex's jersey . And they got picked up by everybody.... He'll never live down those pictures. He'll have to remember me for the rest of his life — you're going to wash a man's jersey in body paint and then you break up? Yeah, it's bad.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
I've shown up in a trench coat with either nothing underneath — or very little underneath. Because then it's a surprise.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here to follow Me In My Place on Twitter)
Anytime I'm on a first date or I meet somebody, I'm like, "Oh, hey, how are you? I wonder if you've seen me naked."

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for more Me in My Place)
I don't play the piano. I have a player piano.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here to recommend Me in My Place on Tumblr)
I have another Twitter account — she's an alter ego. Like four or five people know. She says real things, but she kind of exaggerates — it's completely crazy. You have to imagine how fun it is to be able to write things that you can't say or do but that you want to get out there. You have a completely different set of followers, and they have no idea who you are. It's really freeing.

(Click VIEW LARGER for more Hope, and here for the MeInMyPlace.com archive)
I don't watch any TV. Even though I did Celebrity Apprentice — I'm just really proud of myself for not getting into any of the catfights that these women and men got into on national television. Not that I don't have a secret side like that, but I just would never let someone see that side of me. Not like that, not there. There's a place for everything.
