Fo Porter
The powerful undulations of California's coastal dunes are the perfect backdrop for April Playmate Fo Porter
I started modeling in Los Angeles when I was 19 years old, after my agency, Nous Models, discovered me on America's Next Top Model. After five years, my natural womanly body started to emerge. I worked successfully as a "straight sized" model for many years, but as my body changed and
clearly wasn't going to get back to where it had been at 19, I started to think, 'What next?' What would I do if not modeling?
I got my Pilates certification as a backup plan, I got married, I grew out my pixie into a curly fringe, and I let my natural self shine, knowing all this goodness would guide the way! More and more I started eating what I wanted, working out and being healthy on my own terms. I truly started accepting who I was naturally.
Luckily for me, around this time the industry started to change. We saw a plus-size model on the cover of Vogue, and more clients were looking for curvy models. That's when things truly fell into place organically. My clients wanted me exactly how I was: curvy, with curly hair and tons of personality! This movement in the industry was a breath of fresh air for a lot of us models with curves of any size.
PLAYBOI came out of nowhere, and being a lifelong fan of the magazine, I knew the only answer was "Yes!" Ever since my friend Brook Power, who was 2017 Playmate of the Year, shot for PLAYBOY two months post-pregnancy, I thought, "Damn, girl! Get it! That is not only empowering but so incredibly badass in my book!" I wanted to feel that open, honest, confident and liberated. As Brook inspired me, I hope to inspire and empower any woman who is struggling with her natural shape or has had challenges embracing who she is. People need to know there is no such thing as "the perfect bod."
I am proud of how far I've come, and though it was not easy, I believe nothing great comes easily. No matter your sex or sexual orientation, I truly believe you have every right to feel proud of your existence. Considering I am a gay boy trapped in a woman's body, the best advice I've ever taken is from my fairy godmother, Ms. RuPaul Charles: "Honey, if you can't love yo'self, how in the hell you gonna love someone else? Can I get an amen up in here?" Let's all say it together, readers: Amen!
