Peek Into the Life of Tahlia Paris: Modeling, Personal Growth, and Advice for Aspiring Pets
Tahlia Paris: 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year
We know that we have covered the 2023 Pet of the Year announcement, but apparently we had such a good time with that we somehow completely missed the magazine profile of our lovely lass – a fact the editor here ever-so-sweetly pointed out recently. Naturally we agreed to fix that real speedy quicko, and thus we bow with both reverence and pride (the first for us, the second for Tahlia, obviously).
The (Big) 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year Achievement
Tahlia Paris has carved out a successful career in modeling, but our 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year also values staying grounded and true to herself. From being named Penthouse Pet of the Month back in February, 2022, to sharing her journey with her fans, Tahlia has always been real about her experiences.
We caught up with recently crowned queen to learn more about her career, her personal life, and the advice she has for those looking to follow in her footsteps.
Tahlia’s career has been full of milestones, but she says winning 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year was a real highlight. “It was an amazing moment for me. I’ve always loved the art of nude photography, and being recognized for it was incredible. It was a dream come true.”
For Tahlia, the award has never been simply about recognition. Rather, as with life in general for her, Tahlia revels in doing something she truly loves while being able to share that with others.
So where does our 2023 Pet of the Year excel?
Tahlia considers her biggest strength to be empathy. “I’m a really empathetic person. I care about others, and I try to be there for people as much as I can. Being kind and understanding is something I value a lot.”
On the flipside, Tahlia offers, “I do think I can be too forgiving sometimes, though. I want to see the good in people, but I’ve learned the hard way that not everyone deserves that kind of grace.”
How does Tahlia balance work and life?
Even though she remains dedicated to her career, Tahlia knows the importance of self-care. “If I could change anything about myself, I’d probably focus more on myself. I’m always checking in on other people, but I forget to take care of me sometimes.”
But one thing that always brings her back to center? Her family and her dogs. “They’re the best part of my life. They make me feel grounded and keep me happy.”
When it comes to hobbies, Tahlia has a soft spot for Fortnite on her Xbox and MySims on her Nintendo Switch. “And I know I’m going to get some hate for this, but I love Xbox! Sorry, PlayStation fans!” she laughs.
She’s also passionate about sports, especially hockey. “The Las Vegas Golden Knights are my team. I’ve got to rep my city!”
Highlights not Technically Related to Being the 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year
When asked, Tahlia revealed that favorite career moments came when she DJ’d at the Flirt Summit in Vietnam. “It was such an incredible experience. The energy was amazing, and I’ll always remember that trip. Penthouse gave me the chance to do something I’ll never forget.”
Tahlia also finds herself currently obsessed with SZA. “Her voice is so soothing, and I just love her vibe. Her music is everything right now.”
Tahlia’s Advice for Future Pets
For anyone thinking about joining the modeling world or becoming a Penthouse Pet, Tahlia’s advice reigns as profound in its simplicity: Be yourself. “You don’t need to wear a ton of makeup or have extensions to be beautiful. Confidence in yourself will always be what really matters. And if you’re thinking about becoming a Pet, just reach out. I’ve had a lot of conversations with people who want to get into this industry, and the other Pets are super supportive too. We’re a family here, and we’re always happy to help.”
She adds, “It can feel intimidating, but it’s all part of the journey. The Pets have been nothing but kind to me, and they’re here to help you succeed.”
Having completed our due diligence in providing the magazine presentation of Tahlia in their polished editorial fashion, we wanted to drop in a couple of Q&A topics that got skipped for space (we presume). Consider these more directly the 2023 Penthouse Pet of the Year in her own words.

Do you prefer texting or face-to-face conversations?
Usually texting. I’m kind of a loner and introvert at times. I really enjoy being home alone with my dogs, cozy in bed watching tv.
Why did you want to win this title?
I wanted to win 2023 Pet of the Year because not only do I consider Penthouse an amazing magazine – that I have looked up to since before I can remember – but also I have found Penthouse to be very ‘family’ oriented. If you know me, you know that in my world family is everything. … We all look out for each other and care and really make efforts to stay involved. It’s such an honor to be able to represent such an amazing company who looks out for me and everyone else as the woman of the year, so to speak
