Alexis Neiers, the quintessential L.A. party kid: Her mom is a former Playboy Playmate, her dad was the director of photography on
E! television has seemingly captured reality show lightning in a bottle with Pretty Wild, a show focusing on the lives of former Playboy model Andrea Arlington and her two children Alexis Neiers Arlington and Gabby Neiers as well as their friend Tess Adler “Taylor.” The premise of the show, set to premiere Sunday, March 14 at 10:30 PM, may seem rather mundane, but throw in the fact that while filming the show Alexis was arrested in connection with the high-profile “Burglar Bunch,” who robbed the houses of numerous celebrities in the Los Angeles area, and you’ve got ratings gold!Alexis and Tess are the troublemakers of the bunch and the center of drama on the show, loving to live it up with constant parties, hot dudes and the occasional celebrity break-in. Actually, Tess hasn’t been connected to the “Bling Ring” burglaries, and Alexis claims her involvement in the theft of over $500,000 worth of items from Orlando Bloom’s home was purely involuntary and that she was drunk at the time. Detective Brett Goodkin interviewed Alexis (with her lawyer present) and says she admitted to being in Bloom’s house at the time of the robbery. She reportedly rode with Nick Prugo, but claims she was drunk at the time and wasn’t aware why they were going to Bloom’s residence.
Alexis told another detective that when she saw the others pilfering things from the house she got ill and had to step outside where she puked and peed in the bushes. She has not admitted to taking anything.The other members of The Bling Ring are Nick Prugo (19), Rachel Lee (19), Diana Tamayo (19), Courtney Ames (19), and Roy Lopex (27). Of all those arrested, Rachel Lee is the only one who plead guilty.
Although throwing up and peeing in the bushes is a great resume filler when aspiring to become a reality show celebutant, it’s not all Alexis brings to the table! The 18-year-old hottie is an aspiring model and hopes her presence on the show will help jump start her career. She has a profile on ModelMayhem.com with 19 example photos and the following specs:Want to photograph Alexis? She lists her experience as well as what she will and won’t do as far as nudity and posing alone:
My Name is Alexis Arlington I am a model and actress fortunate to live in beautiful Los Angeles California. I am currently a pilates and pole dance instructor which I love. I have been trained in many types of dance including ballet hip hop and tap. I was fortunate to have been trained by the most artistic and best pole dancers in the world. I am currently going to college for business and fashion and design. Always looking meet and chat with new people so feel free to message me!I’m not sure at what point during the Pretty Wild season Alexis gets arrested, but it should be really entertaining to watch all the legal drama from behind the scenes, But, even without the Law and Order: Malibu element and although this might not be much more than Keeping Up With The Kardashians Lite, I’m not opposed to watching three sexy women (younger sis Gabrielle is only 16) partying, creating drama and looking for reasons to wear next to nothing, so I’ll be tuning in! Stay tuned for a similar post on Alexis’ Pretty Wild older sister Tess Taylor! She didn’t stop at lingerie, baring it all on two separate occasions for Playboy! (I’ll add a link here as soon as that post is up.) (And HERE IT IS, featuring safe-for-work Playboy photos and pole dancing videos as well as all sorts of info about the older sis!)In 2010, Neiers announced that she was getting ready to launch her own clothing line. "I'm inspired by a lot of designers in Europe right now, but it's very Victorian, very sweet, kind of coquettish," she said. "It's girly, it's innocent, it's fun." Neiers also said she had received the samples of the line and is looking at a spring release.[1]After the airing of Pretty Wild, many unapproved images were released of Alexis and her costar Tess Taylor on the website www.thedirty.com. Although lawyers requested the images such as the girls smoking bongs to be taken down, the blogger Nik Richie of thedirty site declined.[2][3]On November 16, 2009, Neiers pled not guilty to burglary charges stemming from her alleged involvement with the Hollywood "Bling Ring" burglaries. The burglars had targeted the homes of celebrities including Paul Oakenfold, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Shia Labeouf, Emmy Rossum, Paris Hilton, Ashley Tisdale and Audrina Patridge.[4][5]
On May 10, 2010, Neiers pled no contest to a felony charge of first degree residential burglary of Orlando Bloom's home and was sentenced to 180 days in county jail, with three years' probation.[6][7][8] Neiers began her sentence on June 24, 2010, and was released on July 24, 2010[9]; after serving one month of a six-month sentence.[10] During the last five days of her sentencing, she was in a cell next to Lindsay Lohan.[11]
She reported that she did not have any contact with Lohan during her brief time in prison and that Lohan was not causing any trouble.[12]
On December 1, 2010, Neiers was arrested on a probation violation. When Neiers failed to check in with her probation officer, officers paid her a visit. During the search, officers found a black substance that resembled tar heroin, burnt foil that is common with heroin use and a fraudulent Florida drivers license.[13] Neiers was subsequently ordered to one year of rehab,[14] and was joined there by her sister Tess[15], albeit briefly[16], under unrelated circumstances.Not because the former Pretty Wild star, who has a sister who's been battling her own demons as well, isn't interested in getting better.
According to her mom, Neiers has 90 days of sobriety and is ready to start putting her troubled past to good use...

"In two months, she will start taking courses toward getting a degree in drug counseling," her mother, Andrea Arlington, exclusively tells E! News. "It's going to be really great and she's really excited."
She also confirmed that Neiers' sister Tess Taylor has transferred to outpatient treatment in Beverly Hills after completing 30 days of in-patient rehab in Malibu to treat an addiction to opiates. Meaning, Taylor has not checked out of rehab completely, as some reports have implied.
"She wanted to go back to Hollywood, because she wants to work in Hollywood and practice being sober in Hollywood," Arlington says, explaining that Taylor had the option of either finding another sober-living arrangement in Malibu or seeking outpatient treatment elsewhere in L.A.
Meanwhile, Neiers has nine and a half months to go of a year-long sentence in residential treatment, not the most horrible punishment after getting busted for black-tar heroin possession while being on probation for her role in the so-called Bling Ring burglaries. Her next court hearing is next month.
f things had gone differently for Neiers, “Pretty Wild” could have set her on a course to become the next Paris Hilton. But this is where the story gets weird: Neiers and friends are actually “the bling ring,” a group of 18- and 19-year-old burglars who Los Angeles police have linked to multiple burglaries of celebrities’ homes, including Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox, Audrina Patridge, and Orlando Bloom. Now, Vanity Fair reports, “Pretty Wild” is not so much about the L.A. party scene as it is following Neiers’ seems-to-be-destined path to jail.“The bling ring” kids, who were busted by the LAPD this summer, allegedly include Nick Prugo, 19; Rachel Lee, 19; Diana Tamayo, 19; Courtney Ames, 19; Roy Lopez, Jr., 27; and possibly several others. According to VF, the kids were accused of stealing $130,000 in clothes and jewelry from both Lohan and Bilson, for example. When cops arrived at Neiers’ home with a search warrant, they found a Marc Jacobs handbag allegedly belonging to Bilson and a Chanel necklace allegedly belonging to Lohan. Yet Neiers insisted to Vanity Fair, “I have receipts for everything.”
According to VF, “the bling ring” didn’t start off burglarizing celebs. Their first break-in was at the Woodland Hills (CA) home of a boy who Prugo knew would be out of town. At that first burglary, Prugo and Lee allegedly found a box with $8,000 in cash under a bed. They split the money in half and treated themselves to a Rodeo Drive shopping spree the next day. The kids used to steal credit cards and cash from unlocked cars in their neighborhoods — Mercedes, Bentleys, etc. — and use the money to go shopping the next day, Prugo told VF. Unsurprisingly, all these robberies also supported at least one drug habit: Prugo admits he developed a cocaine addiction, which he claims to have kicked.
Eventually, “the bling ring” turned on to celebrities. In October 2008, they chose Paris Hilton as their first victim, Prugo told VF, because they figured she was “dumb.” He added, “Like, who would leave a door unlocked? Who would leave a lot of money lying around?” Not surprisingly, at Hilton’s Hollywood Hills home, the burglars discovered a key under the mat; inside, Lee allegedly stole a dress and some bras, while the others allegedly stole a bottle of vodka and cash. Hilton apparently never reported that first burglary, so “the bling ring” returned. Eventually, in December 2008, Lopez was allegedly caught with almost $2 million worth of Hilton’s jewelry and a Louis Vuitton tote.
No doubt, “Pretty Wild” will make for compelling reality TV — but really, all the kids and all their reasons for getting involved in this alleged crime ring are fascinating. Lee was apparently a big fan of the fashions on “Gossip Girl” and “The Hills”; some kids in “the bling ring” even expressed interest in becoming designers themselves and attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A., Lauren Conrad’s (sort of) alma mater. Are they wannabes? Never-beens-and-never-will-bes? Parasites? Maybe a little bit of each, maybe all of the above.
But I’d say the most damning analysis of the “bling ring” came from LAPD Officer Brett Goodkin, the lead investigator on the case, who told VF: “It may be a stretch, but is wanting to wear somebody’s clothes that different from wanting to wrap yourself up in their skin, like that guy in The Silence of the Lambs
