Penthouse Magazine has decided that you should want to mess with Texas in naming lone star beauty Taylor Vixen as the 2010 Penthouse Pet of the Year.

Vixen will get a year-long contract with Penthouse and a diamond Penthouse Pet of the Year Key necklace. Her Pet of the Year pictorial is featured in the January 2010 issue of Penthouse Magazine, available on newsstands everywhere December 15.

“Debuting in Penthouse Magazine’s special 40th Anniversary issue, Taylor Vixen immediately became a favorite among Penthouse readers,” the magazine said in a statement. “With her gorgeous natural figure, dark mischievous eyes, and friendly down-home nature, she cannot help but draw people to her.”

“I have always loved Penthouse. It’s sexy and tasteful, and a place for young women, like me, to express ourselves,” said the 26-year-old. “I had the best time at my photo shoot, where I was able to bring out both my personality and sexuality at the same time. I loved my photographer, Emma Nixon. My favorite part of the shoot was doing the robot dance at one point. I love to goof around!”
