Jennifer Rushton: A Woman in Leadership’s Revealing Past NSFW

Another for the "Haven't I seen (a lot more of) her somewhere else before?" file™

This January 2020 interview with PLATO* then-Vice President of Lottery and Gaming (although her Linkedin profile states VP of “Marketing & Communications”), Jennifer Rushton for the now seemingly defunct ONN TV’s “Onn Point” show, was part of their “women in leadership positions” series. Once the interview proceeds, Ms. Rushton reveals that her background is in the lottery and gaming industry, primarily suppling products and services to the industry, and her involvement in that field that “began almost 20 years ago,” what would place her beginnings in the early 2000s.

Jennifer goes on to talk about her role in the development of the lottery and gaming industry in her then-resident city of Sault Ste. Marie (referred to as “the Sault” and pronounced “the Soo” by the locals, to the annoyance of many non-locals), which involves software testing, and the various and diverse industries her company works with.

A recent look at PLATO’s official website reveals that Jennifer is not featured on the team page, so it’s reasonable to assume that, unless PLATO deemed her position unnecessary to “have a face” at the company’s website, she is no longer with the company. Although we have no doubts that Jennifer represented her company very well in her leadership role, her position with PLATO is not the reason she is being presented here. It’s her position with a company she worked for well before PLATO, that brought Jennifer to our attention.

For those who think they have seen Jennifer somewhere else before, but can’t place her, for those who don’t believe they have ever seen her before, but wouldn’t mind seeing (a lot) more of her, and even for those of you who are certain you have have seen (a lot) more of Jennifer in her aforementioned previous position with the thus far unnamed company; read on and enjoy.

In case you think (or know) you have noticed Jennifer somewhere else before and have seen (a lot) more of her, you’re right. When Jennifer was 19 years old, she joined “the program with nothing to hide,” Naked News. Yes, believe it or not, she delivered the top headlines while stripping to bare it all under her alias “Devon Calwell.” The official Naked News website describes her path towards broadcasting in the buff as follows:

“Ms. Calwell was a university student, who had taken a break from school to build up a nest egg to cover tuition expenses, and was working as a waitress. Wanting a more challenging job, Devon began surfing the Internet to look for a new position. That’s how she discovered Naked News was holding auditions for broadcasters, decided to try out, and succeeded!”

However, after her somewhat short Naked News stint between 2001 and 2002, she probably resumed getting her college degree as she is now pursuing a career part away from the spotlight. Devon has always had a healthy image body image. Furthermore, Jennifer/Devon has a passion for ice hockey and has in general a real appreciation for maintaining a fit body through sports and exercise. Her love for animals is one of many key factors in developing an environmental consciousness.

From Naked News‘ 2002 Halloween episode. Devon, who had already stripped out of her costume at this point in the show to reveal her tanned, but no longer toned nude form, makes it clear that she had gained a considerable amount of weight since her earlier days with the show. Not necessarily a bad thing as fans were concerned, especially since her breasts benefitted from that gain.


*According to a spokesman for the company; PLATO stands for “Professional Aboriginal Testing Organization,” so if you wonder why the “L” is placed in that acronym, you are not alone. Our guess is that “PLATO” sounded better than “PATO” and would be less susceptible to mispronunciations.
