September 9th is the anniversary of California becoming the 31st state. Did we know what we were getting into when it joined our country? Would we have accepted it had we known then what we know now. All those natural disasters, the insurmountable debt, the flakes! While most people wish it would fall into the ocean or at the very least separate and become an island, we say nay! Where would we be without it? We’d have to rely on Florida and Texas for all our hot girls. We’d be missing a serious group of Playmates! So, to celebrate one of the sexiest states in the country, we take a look at the sexiest women to come from within its borders – Playmates born in California. Check ‘em out in our gallery then vote for the girl you think is the sexiest in our poll after the jump.

This 24-year-old home-grown Ohio native hottie got her first big break in 2005 when she was made Playboys Playmate of the Month for August. She has appeared in Maxim and Stuff magazines and stripped down for Lingerie Bowl 2005. Tamara also landed a spot as a model on Deal or No Deal and appeared on VH1′s Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.
