SHAWNEE.jpgSince the last time we reported on Playboy’s Polaroid Thursday—that magical time at Playboy Studio West in Santa Monica, California when we have an open casting call for potential Playmates—it has changed from a monthly to a weekly event.

This week we bumped into hopeful Shawnee Harkins (pictured), a 26-year-old Dallas native working as a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist in Southern California. We were immediately charmed by her energy and positive attitude. “I want to be a Playmate because it is an honor to celebrate and show the beauty of the female body,” she says. So what does she think is her best physical feature? “I would say ‘my girls.’ I love to wear tank tops and fitted shirts to bring them out on display!”

Shawnee certainly knows her way around a gym, but does this upbeat trainer get gruff at one of the fitness boot camps that she oversees? “As a trainer I motivate with high positive energy, rather than the old-school yelling techniques,” she says. “Yes, I am very vocal, but I always keep it friendly and fun. For example, when hosting my Saturday boot camps on the beach, I must make it fun for clients who want to get up on Saturday morning to workout. But don't think for a second that I won't push you past your limits, because I will...but always with my Southern smile on my face!”

If you want to see more of Shawnee, leave a comment and send her some love and encouragement.

When do we get to see her centerfold? I can't wait to buy that issue. She's got brains, bronze, and killer looks, she's perfect for Playboy.

What a hottie! Shawnee you look gorgeous! Can't wait to see the girls....

Show off your beautiful female body hot mama! There's no reason not to!
And for all you out there looking for a great trainer, Shawnee is your girl! One and only trainer I will ever have!

.....Guess I'm gonna have to start subscribing to playboy! LOL

YES! YES! YES! Look at that smile!

It would be awesome to see Shawnee in the magazine, she would really show a true woman with her sexy fit body.

I would really love to see Shawnee in the magazine, she would really show a true fit woman and is sexy hot. call me?

She is HOT! Please put her on the mag! Please?

As a straight female who understands the self worship of one's girls I too would love to see her!:)
Go Shawnee!

Cute girl, sounds like she has a great personality and I like her look. She would be a nice change-a Playmate with short, funky, hair. Plus her name alone would make into the "COOL PLAYMATE NAMES" section of the next edition of the Playmate book if she makes it into the magazine!

Shawnee,more,more!

deffinatley wouldn't mind Shawnee being my personal trainer ;)
put this girl on the cover!!

When a woman likes to show off her breasts, whether nude or through tight tops, it's a sign she's comfortable with her sexuality. A woman with such confidence is truly Playmate-worthy. I wish Shawnee well on her quest.

Shawnee is a beautiful woman. I would love to see those girls come out of their cages. And how can you not be attracted to that smile. This woman has some great style.

I'd have to say yes - she's got an edge to her - bad girl look - let's take a look at those girls!!!

You look hot mamma! Let those girls loose! Can you help me work on my fitness?

Shawnee is amazing! She works just as hard as her clients when it come to keeping them focused and sweat soaked. Always perky and upbeat, she is dedicated, determined and just plain cute! I would love to see Playboy capture her radiant smile and "personalities". The rest is just icing, baby...

put her in the mag!
she's so hot.
