Playboy has been in a desperate bid to rebrand themselves since the Internet made print nudity irrelevant. In continuing this they chose cool Hawaiian surfer girl Brook Power as the 2017 Playmate of the Year. Is this the end of fake chested, dyed blond ‘Playboy’ style Playmates? Just maybe.

This isn’t their first attempt to tap into the cool of the skate and surf scene as they had a groundbreaking Q + A with newly out of the closet Brian Anderson as well as a profile on Jason Dill about him growing up in a trailer park.

Brook is a part of the California surf scene and as down to earth as they come….

 

Do you think growing up in Hawaii influenced who you are now?
Growing up in Hawaii was the best. I had a lot of siblings and friends around. We played on the beach and in the surf and in caves all day. We would become completely consumed by our imaginative world. I think it kept me silly and mellow. People really value family there. Also, the Hawaiian sense of humor is very self-deprecating and humble, which I think are good traits to have in our business.
