If her April 2017 pictorial didn’t take your breath away, Playmate, Nina Daniele definitely will with this stunning pictorial as our Playmate of the Year for 2018. A bright light wherever she goes, Nina is shown here truly as herself for all the world to see, from the photographer, Jennifer Stenglein. “I’ve been modeling for about eight years now. Time had to pass for a girl like me — whose ethnicity you don’t necessarily know— could be successful,” she says. “Size, height, and weight began to matter less; it became more about who you are as a person and what you bring to the table. I decided: instead of trying to be what the industry wants me to be, I’m going to be what I’ve always been. And right when I decided, Playboy came into my life,” she says. Radiating undeniable confidence, Nina tells us what sexy is to her as the camera snaps away. “True sexiness is what you exude, not how you look,” she says. “That comes from life and experiences. I think knowledge, in general, is very attractive.” When it comes to being our Playmate of the Year for 2018, Nina is the perfect fit — bold and beautiful with a voice that speaks for many. “[Being a Playmate today] reaffirmed my position in this movement that we’re going through as women,” she says. “We can’t all speak for ourselves individually. When we speak, we have to speak for all women, and I think Playboy gives us the foundation to do that.” Learn more about the breathtaking Nina, right here on Playboy Plus!
