Were you excited to shoot for Playboy? I’ve always dreamed of shooting for Playboy magazine, and I’m very happy that my dream came true.

Tell us something surprising about you? I used to be fat, I used to weigh 78kg and I never had that thought that I’ll be a model and blogger. At that time I didn’t like taking photos of myself, I used to avoid photos. In one moment I decided to get skinny and into my current shape that’s when I started getting a lot of photoshoots. I was around 27 years old.

Describe yourself in one sentence… Naked and funny.

What are some of your hobbies? I got lucky that my hobby became my job, photoshoots set my heart on fire!

What is your biggest turn on? My biggest turn on if we are talking about sex, is a combination of many factors. But probably humour is most important, and if physically, then I like brown eyes – they seem very attractive to me. Photoshoots excite me too, but in another aspect, I repeat, my heart burns when I am shooting – this is probably a very strong excitement for me.

What turns you off the most? I don’t know, never had a turn-off. If the person has the same energy as I do, then I’ll like everything in him.

Describe to us your perfect date… A perfect date is usually a completely imperfect date. The important thing is not where you go or do, for example, having dinner at an expensive restaurant or in a eatout, if he gave me a huge bouquet or one rose. The main thing is an attraction to each other. This is a special magic that two people in love create. But always the ending of the date certainly has to be hot.

What would you consider to be your biggest challenge as a model so far? Age, I started late as a model, and of course, I get a lot of failures due to age, although I look younger.

Any last words you would like to share with the readers? The female body is the most beautiful thing in the world, perceive it as art, enjoy the extended naked body as a great masterpiece.
