When we first met Christine Veronica at the 2010 Phoenix Casting Call (as fate would have it, Christine's apartment complex shared the parking lot with the hotel where we held the auditions, so she decided to walk over) we were immediately struck by her piercing blue eyes, warm smile and girl-next-door appeal. And as soon as she dropped her robe and revealed a killer bikini-clad body with all-natural breasts, we knew for certain that she was something special! Within 48 hours, Christine was shooting her first set of nude photos which eventually landed her on the cover of Playboy's College Girls. Christine quickly became a fan favorite of the Cyber Club and Playboy Girls Network members, but was still really surprised when she got the call that she'd been voted the 2011 Model of the Year. "To be selected by fans as the Model of the Year is such an honor! I am really proud to say I am MOY."

We flew Christine from Phoenix to L.A. and spent two days at a mansion in Topanga Canyon shooting her MOY pictorial, complete with hair, makeup and amazing styling. We asked her to put into words what it feels like to shoot for Playboy, "I feel excitement, happiness and I definitely feel sexy. People ask me if it's uncomfortable or embarrassing to shoot nudes photos, but I love it! Shooting for Playboy let's me express my more wild and free-spirited side!"
